February 2013 in “British Journal of Dermatology” The study investigated the expression of hair keratin K37 in the human occipital hair medulla and its regulation by androgens. The research was conducted in vitro, focusing on how androgenic activity influenced the expression of this specific keratin. The findings suggested that androgens played a significant role in regulating K37 expression, which could have implications for understanding hair growth and hair loss mechanisms. The study provided insights into the molecular biology of hair, potentially contributing to the development of treatments for hair-related conditions.
