30 / 1000+ resultsresearch The Structure of the Cornified Claw Sheath in the Domesticated Cat (Felis Catus): Implications for the Claw-Shedding Mechanism and the Evolution of Cornified Digital End Organs
Cat claws stay sharp by shedding their outer layer through microcracks formed during activities.
research Mammalian Keratin-Associated Proteins (KRTAPs) Subgenomes: Disentangling Hair Diversity and Adaptation to Terrestrial and Aquatic Environments
Different hair types in mammals are linked to variations in specific protein genes, with changes influenced by their living environments.
research Dermo-Epidermal Interactions in Reptilian Scales: Speculations on the Evolution of Scales, Feathers, and Hairs
Reptilian scales, feathers, and hairs evolved from changes in skin cell interactions.
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 Cosmetics, Hair, And Nails
Hair and nails are skin parts that develop early and serve protective and functional roles.
research Comparative Spatial Transcriptomic and Single-Cell Analyses of Human Nail Units and Hair Follicles Show Transcriptional Similarities between the Onychodermis and Follicular Dermal Papilla
Human nails and hair follicles have similar gene activity, especially in the cells that contribute to their growth and development.
research Neuroendocrine Controls of Keratin Expression in Human Skin
Neurohormones help control skin health and could treat skin disorders.
research Homo- and Heteropolymer Self-Assembly of Recombinant Trichocytic Keratins
Recombinant keratins can form useful structures for medical applications, overcoming natural keratin limitations.
research A Review of Keratin-Based Biomaterials for Biomedical Applications
Keratin from hair and wool is used in medical materials for healing and drug delivery.
research Perspectives on Hair Evolution Based on Comparative Studies on Vertebrate Cornification
Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.
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 The Hair Follicle: An Underutilized Source of Cells and Materials for Regenerative Medicine
Hair follicles are valuable for regenerative medicine and wound healing.
research Morphological Characteristics and Notes of the Skin in Preclinical Toxicity Assessment
Skin structure complexity and variability are crucial for assessing skin toxicity in safety tests.
research Stabilization of Epithelial Beta-Catenin Compromises Mammary Cell Fate Acquisition and Branching Morphogenesis
Too much β-catenin activity can mess up the development of mammary glands and make them more like hair follicles.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Stabilization of Epithelial Beta-Catenin Compromises Mammary Cell Fate Acquisition and Branching Morphogenesis
Keeping β-catenin levels high in mammary cells disrupts their development and branching.
research Madarosis
Madarosis is the loss of eyelashes and eyebrows due to various health issues and requires thorough examination to diagnose and treat the underlying cause.
research Alopecia: A Pathologist's View
The review concludes that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires proper biopsy techniques and understanding the hair growth cycle and underlying causes.
research Evaluating the Antioxidant Effects of Human Hair Protein Extracts
Human hair protein extracts can protect skin cells from oxidative stress.
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 Specific Ectodermal Enhancers Control the Expression of Hoxc Genes in Developing Mammalian Integuments
The HoxC gene cluster and its enhancers are essential for developing hair and nails in mammals.
research WNT10A Mutation Causes Ectodermal Dysplasia by Impairing Progenitor Cell Proliferation and KLF4-Mediated Differentiation
A WNT10A gene mutation leads to ectodermal dysplasia by disrupting cell growth and differentiation.
research Transforming Growth Factor-Alpha Immunoreactivity During Induced Hair Follicle Growth Cycles in Sheep and Ferrets
TGF-alpha is present in sheep and ferret skin and may affect hair growth without directly stimulating cell proliferation.
research Positive Impact of Fish Oil on Diabetic and Hypercholesterolemic Skin Disorders
Fish oil improves skin health in people with diabetes and high cholesterol.
research Bioengineering the Hair Follicle
Bioengineering can potentially treat hair loss by regenerating hair follicles and cloning hair, but the process is complex and needs more research.
research An Epistatic Effect of KRT25 on SP6 Is Involved in Curly Coat in Horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.
research The Proteomic Profile of Hair Damage
Bleaching hair damages protein structure, especially keratin, leading to weakened hair.
research Contribution of Environmental Constituents in the Genomic Disruption of Cytokeratins
Environmental factors can cause mutations in skin proteins, leading to skin disorders.
