A new method speeds up insulin amyloid fibril growth, useful for studying diseases.
research Keratin Formation in the Hair Follicle
Keratin fibrils in hair form and stop growing at specific points in the follicle.
research Regeneration of the Epidermis and Mucosal Epithelium on the Basement Membranes
The skin and mucous membranes can regenerate over the basement membrane after damage, using nearby surviving cells.
research Structure and Mechanical Properties of Human Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filament Protein
Disulfide bonds make keratin in hair stronger and tougher.
research Photoaging of Hair Fiber and Photoprotection
Sunlight damages hair, causing cuticle loss, protein changes, and discoloration.
research Phase I/IIa Clinical Trial for Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Using Genetically Corrected Autologous Keratinocytes
The gene therapy showed significant wound healing and was safe for treating severe RDEB.
research CRISPR/Cas9-Based Targeted Genome Editing for Correction of Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Using iPS Cells
The research showed that CRISPR/Cas9 can fix mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice, but more work on safety and efficiency is needed.
research A Monoclonal Antibody Established from the Immunization of Basal Cell Carcinoma Tissues Reacts to the Intercellular Space of Basal Cell Carcinoma and Hair Follicles
The antibody created from BCC tissues reacts similarly to both BCC and hair follicles, suggesting BCC may come from hair follicle cells.
research Dissimilar Effects of Hydrophilic Carbon Dots on Amyloid Aggregation of Two Model Proteins and Mechanism Discussion
Hydrophilic carbon dots cause one protein to clump more and prevent another from clumping.
research Possible Relationships Between the Physical Conditions of Cattle and the Occurrence of Structural Modifications of Their Coat Hair
Vitamin A deficiency changes cattle hair structure, while pregnancy may improve it, suggesting hair can indicate cattle health.
research Efficient Genome Editing Using CRISPR/Cas9 Ribonucleoprotein Approach in iPS Cells for Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa
Researchers fixed gene mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice.
research Characteristic Microstructure of Curved Human Hair
Curved human hair has different structures on its convex and concave sides.
research Characteristic Microstructure of Curved Human Hair
Curved human hair has different structures on each side, which might cause its shape and is similar to wool.
research Consideration When Interpreting Outpatient Data
Objective assessment is needed to accurately determine medication use and adherence.
research Development of a Chitosan Nanofibrillar Scaffold for Skin Repair and Regeneration
Chitosan nanofiber scaffolds improve skin healing and are promising for wound treatment.
research The Effect of Menopause on the Skin and Other Connective Tissues
Menopause significantly reduces skin collagen, leading to thinner, less elastic skin, and hormone replacement may help but requires careful consideration.
research Photobiomodulation: The Clinical Applications of Low-Level Light Therapy
Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) is a safe and effective method for skin rejuvenation, acne treatment, wound healing, body contouring, and hair growth, but more well-designed trials are needed for confirmation.
research Skin Disorders in Elderly Subjects
Every elderly patient had at least one skin condition, often linked to other diseases, highlighting the need for integrated skin and general healthcare in the elderly.
research Hair and Nail Relationship: A Comparative Study
Hair and nails are similar keratin structures with different shapes and growth, affected by the same diseases and environmental factors.
research Effects of Minoxidil on Cultured Human Skin Fibroblasts
Minoxidil slows down skin cell growth and may help treat scars and skin conditions.
research Dermatologic Problems of Older Women
Older women face various skin issues like dryness and thinning, and treatments are available but can have side effects; proper skin care and legal health decisions are important.
research Testosterone Reduces Tight Junction Complexity and Down-Regulates Expression of Claudin-4 and Occludin in the Endometrium in Ovariectomized, Sex-Steroid Replacement Rats
Testosterone makes the connections in the uterus lining simpler and lowers certain protein levels, which might lead to infertility.
research Structure of Intermediate Filament Assembly in Hair Deduced from Hydration Studies Using Small-Angle Neutron Scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research Fundamental Studies on the Interaction Between Moisture and Textiles. Part X. Moisture Sorption Properties of Wool and Hair Fibers
Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.
