research Fine Structure and Immunocytochemistry of Monotreme Hairs, with Emphasis on the Inner Root Sheath and Trichohyalin-Based Cornification During Hair Evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Evolution of Hard Proteins in the Sauropsid Integument in Relation to the Cornification of Skin Derivatives in Amniotes
Hard skin features like scales, feathers, and hair evolved through specific protein changes in different animal groups.
research Topographical and Tribological Characteristics of Asian Human Hair Cuticles
Hair damage increases significantly with higher temperatures and longer heating times.
research Single Hair Fiber Assessment Techniques to Discriminate Between Mineral Oil and Coconut Oil Effect on Hair Physical Properties
Coconut oil makes hair stronger and more flexible than mineral oil.
research A Review on Forensic Toxicological Analysis of Drugs in Hair Using Various Instrumental Techniques
Hair analysis is better than urine and blood for detecting past drug use.
research Hair Pores Caused by Surfactants via the Cell Membrane Complex and a Prevention Strategy through the Use of Cuticle Sealing
Surfactants damage hair, but sealing the cuticle can prevent this.
research Discrete Nanoscale Distribution of Hair Lipids Fails to Provide Humidity Resistance
Hair lipids do not protect against humidity.
research Histopathological Examination of Hair Matrix Cysts
Hair matrix cysts are rare skin nodules with unique features, often needing surgical removal.
research Hair of the Dog: Identification of a Cis-Regulatory Module Predicted to Influence Canine Coat Composition
Researchers found a genetic region that influences the number of coat layers in dogs.
research Epidermal Patterning and Induction of Different Hair Types During Mouse Embryonic Development
Different body areas in mice produce different hair types due to interactions between skin layers.
research Perspectives on Hair Evolution Based on Comparative Studies on Vertebrate Cornification
Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.
research Physiological and Retinoid-Induced Proliferations of Epidermis Basal Keratinocytes Are Differently Controlled
Normal skin cell renewal doesn't need RAR signaling, but vitamin A-related skin thickening does.
research Epidermal Development in Mammals: Key Regulators, Signals from Beneath, and Stem Cells
Skin development in mammals is controlled by key proteins and signals from underlying cells, involving stem cells for maintenance and repair.
research The Epithelial Stem Cell Niche in Skin
Skin's epithelial stem cells are crucial for repair and maintenance, and understanding them could improve treatments for skin problems.
research Anagen Hair Follicles Transplanted Into Mature Human Scars Remodel Fibrotic Tissue
Transplanting growing hair follicles into scars can help regenerate and improve scar tissue.
research The Physical and Physiological Effects of Vacuum Massage on Different Skin Layers: Current Literature Status
Vacuum massage may improve skin elasticity and induce changes in skin cells, but evidence for treating burn scars is insufficient and more research is needed.
research Skin Regeneration with Conical and Hair Follicle Structure of Deep Second-Degree Scalding Injuries via Combined Expression of the EPO Receptor and Beta Common Receptor by Local Subcutaneous Injection of Nanosized rhEPO
Local injections of nanosized rhEPO can speed up skin healing and improve quality after deep second-degree burns.
research Immunolocalization of a Histidine-Rich Epidermal Differentiation Protein in the Chicken Supports the Hypothesis of an Evolutionary Developmental Link Between the Embryonic Subperiderm and Feather Barbs and Barbules
A specific protein in chicken embryos links early skin layers to feather development.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Skin Structure
Human skin has multiple layers and functions, with key roles in protection, temperature control, and appearance.
research The Control of Hair Growth: An Overview
Hair growth is influenced by interactions between skin layers, growth factors, and hormones, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
research Epidermal-Dermal Coupled Spheroids Are Important for Tissue Pattern Regeneration in Reconstituted Skin Explant Cultures
Skin spheroids with both outer and inner layers are key for regrowing skin patterns and hair.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Structure and Expression of Genes for a Class of Cysteine-Rich Proteins of the Cuticle Layers of Differentiating Wool and Hair Follicles
Researchers found genes for cysteine-rich proteins that form the protective layer of hair in humans and sheep.
research Human Macrophages Preferentially Infiltrate the Superficial Adipose Tissue
Human body's immune cells are more common in the layer of fat just beneath the skin than in deeper fat layers.
research Mapping the Molecular and Structural Specialization of the Skin Basement Membrane for Inter-Tissue Interactions
The skin's basement membrane is specially designed to support different types of connections between skin layers and hair follicles.
research Melasma in Men
Treating melasma in men is difficult, especially for the deeper skin layers, and may need more than just topical treatments.
research Distribution of Glycolipid and Unsaturated Fatty Acids in Human Hair
Human hair has more unsaturated fats inside than on the surface, and certain lipids may help bind the outer and inner layers together.
research Characterization of Xenobiotic Metabolizing Enzymes of a Reconstructed Human Epidermal Model from Adult Hair Follicles
The reconstructed skin model from hair follicles functions like human skin in processing chemicals and can be used to test ingredient safety.
