Keratins help protect cells, aid in cancer diagnosis, and influence cancer behavior and treatment.
research The Genetics of Hair Shaft Disorders
The article explains the genetic causes and symptoms of various hair disorders and highlights the need for more research to find treatments.
research Asian Hair: A Review of Structures, Properties, and Distinctive Disorders
Asian hair is generally straight and thick, with unique disorders and properties, and more research is needed to understand it fully.
research Prognosis and Management of Congenital Hair Shaft Disorders with Fragility—Part I
Some congenital hair disorders improve in childhood or with treatments like minoxidil and retinoids, while others like Netherton syndrome and trichothiodystrophy have a poor prognosis.
research Biocompatibility Of Kaps-Depleted Residual Hair
KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.
research Reactive Keratin Derivatives: A Promising Strategy for Covalent Binding to Hair
Modified keratin binds better to hair, especially bleached hair.
research Clinical and Molecular Genetic Studies in Hereditary Hair Loss
Researchers found a genetic link for hereditary hair loss but need more analysis to identify the exact gene.
research Updates in the Understanding and Treatments of Skin and Hair Disorders in Women of Color
New treatments for skin and hair disorders in women of color address unique biological differences and include specific acne medications, sunscreens, skin lighteners, and hair care adjustments.
research Microenvironmental Reprogramming of Thymic Epithelial Cells to Skin Multipotent Stem Cells
Scientists turned rat thymus cells into stem cells that can help repair skin and hair.
research Characterization of a Cluster of Human High/Ultrahigh Sulfur Keratin-Associated Protein Genes Embedded in the Type I Keratin Gene Domain on Chromosome 17q12-21
A cluster of sulfur-rich hair protein genes was found on chromosome 17.
research Morphogenesis and Maintenance of the 3D Thymic Medulla and Prevention of Nude Skin Phenotype Require FoxN1 in Pre- and Post-Natal K14 Epithelium
FoxN1 gene is essential for proper thymus structure and preventing hair loss.
research Histogenesis of Keratoacanthoma: Histochemical and Immunohistochemical Study
Keratoacanthoma comes from hair follicle cells.
research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Are Associated with Monilethrix-Like Congenital Hypotrichosis
Mutations in the DSG4 gene can cause a rare hair disorder similar to monilethrix.
research Alopecia in Children
Most hair loss in children is caused by a few common conditions and is easy to diagnose, but rare types require careful evaluation.
research Alopecia in Harlequin Mutant Mice Is Associated with Reduced AIF Protein Levels and Expression of Retroviral Elements
Harlequin mutant mice have hair loss due to low AIF protein levels and retroviral element activity.
research Inducible Deletion of Epidermal Dicer and Drosha Reveals Multiple Functions for miRNAs in Postnatal Skin
Drosha and Dicer are essential for hair follicle health and preventing DNA damage in skin cells.
research Progressive Alopecia Reveals Decreasing Stem Cell Activation Probability During Aging of Mice with Epidermal Deletion of DNA Methyltransferase 1
Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
research Ectopic Expression of the Nude Gene Induces Hyperproliferation and Defects in Differentiation: Implications for the Self-Renewal of Cutaneous Epithelia
The nude gene causes skin cell overgrowth and improper development, leading to hair and urinary issues.
research Histopathological and Immunohistochemical Study of Trichoblastoma in the Rabbit
Trichoblastomas in rabbits are linked to uncontrolled embryonic hair growth and have distinct histological features.
research Alopecia in a Viable Phospholipase C Delta 1 and Phospholipase C Delta 3 Double Mutant
Mutations in Plcd1 and Plcd3 together cause severe hair loss in mice.
research Experimental Cutaneous Bacillus Anthracis Infections in Hairless HRS/J Mice
Hairless HRS/J mice resist Bacillus anthracis skin infections due to high numbers of immune cells, not because they lack hair follicles.
research Highly Conserved Keratin-Associated Protein 7-1 Gene in Yak, Taurine, and Zebu Cattle
The KRTAP7-1 gene is very similar across different cattle and yak breeds and likely plays a role in hair strength and shape.
research Australasian Society for Dermatology Research Meeting, May 2007
The document suggests a bacteria plays a significant role in acne rosacea and that white hair can regain color after transplant, meriting more research on reversing grey hair.
research Noninflammatory, Nonpruritic Alopecia of Horses
Some horses lose hair without inflammation or itching due to various conditions, and while mainly a cosmetic issue, diagnosis requires examination and biopsies, and breeding is not advised if it's hereditary.
research A Two-Phase Model of Skin Epidermal Stratification: Lessons from Centrosomes
Removing centrosomes from skin cells leads to thinner skin and stops hair growth, but does not greatly affect skin cell differentiation.
research Microscopical Characterization of Known Postmortem Root Bands Using Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Desmoglein 4 Is Regulated by Transcription Factors Implicated in Hair Shaft Differentiation
