Human nails and hair follicles have similar gene activity, especially in the cells that contribute to their growth and development.

GPRC5D is linked to the formation of hair, nails, and certain tongue areas.

Hair growth is controlled by specific gene clusters and proteins, and cysteine affects hair gene expression in sheep.

Different hair types in mammals are linked to variations in specific protein genes, with changes influenced by their living environments.

New treatments targeting specific genes show promise for treating keratin disorders.

Neurohormones help control skin health and could treat skin disorders.

The HoxC gene cluster and its enhancers are essential for developing hair and nails in mammals.

SV40 T antigen in hair follicles causes abnormal hair and health issues in mice.

A WNT10A gene mutation leads to ectodermal dysplasia by disrupting cell growth and differentiation.

Hard skin features like scales, feathers, and hair evolved through specific protein changes in different animal groups.

KAP9.2 and Hoxc13 genes are important for cashmere growth and vary in activity during different stages.

KRTAP6 genes affect wool quality in sheep.

Scientists made structures that look like human hair follicles using stem cells, which could help grow hair without using actual human tissue.

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.

Sheep wool follicles absorb different amino acids at various rates and locations, which could affect wool growth based on diet and genetics.

TGF-alpha is present in sheep and ferret skin and may affect hair growth without directly stimulating cell proliferation.

Human hair keratins K85 and K35 create unique filament patterns important for early hair formation.

KAP genes are crucial for hair development and show both shared and unique traits in humans, chimpanzees, and baboons.

Recombinant keratins can form useful structures for medical applications, overcoming natural keratin limitations.

Keratin helps skin cells mature when added to a collagen mix, which could be important for skin and hair health.

Bleaching hair damages protein structure, especially keratin, leading to weakened hair.

Afro-textured hair needs personalized care due to its unique genetic traits.

Rare changes in the KRT82 gene are linked to a higher risk of Alopecia Areata.

Keeping β-catenin levels high in mammary cells disrupts their development and branching.

K6hf is a unique protein found only in a specific layer of hair follicles.

Keratin protein production in cells is controlled by a complex system that changes with cell type, health, and conditions like injury or cancer.

A high-fat diet may weaken tongue structure by reducing certain protein genes.

Eating collagen peptides may help with skin and hair growth.

The hair keratin gene KRT81 is found in both normal and breast cancer cells and helps them invade surrounding tissues.
