Keratin-associated proteins have ancient origins and were used for different purposes before being adapted for hair in mammals.

Keratin proteins are increasingly recognized as important for cell health and are linked to many diseases.

The KRTAP36-2 gene in sheep affects wool yield.

Corneous beta-proteins evolved uniquely in reptiles and birds, forming scales, claws, beaks, and feathers.

The research identified two types of keratinocytes in chicken scales: one for hard scales and another for soft skin, with similarities to human skin differentiation.

The document concludes that over 500 genes are linked to hair disorders and this knowledge is important for creating new treatments.

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

Environmental factors can cause mutations in skin proteins, leading to skin disorders.

Keratin from human hair shows promise for medical uses like wound healing and tissue engineering.

Curved human hair has different structures on each side, which might cause its shape and is similar to wool.

Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.

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.

Keratin 33A is a key protein in goat winter coats, especially in high-producing breeds.

Keratose, derived from human hair, is a non-toxic biomaterial good for tissue regeneration and integrates well with body tissues.

Studying premature aging syndromes helps understand human aging and suggests potential treatments.

A new method accurately measures amino acids in treated hair, showing bleaching reduces amino acids while protein treatments increase them.

Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.

Certain molecules in hair change with age and could be used for cosmetic treatments.

KRT85 gene variations can help improve wool traits in sheep through selective breeding.

The analysis of a large pilomatricoma revealed five distinct areas with different gene activity related to hair growth and tumor development.

The research provides a gene-based framework for hair biology, highlighting the Hippo pathway's importance and suggesting links between hair disorders, cancer pathways, and the immune system.

Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.

Human hair is made up of different keratins, some strong and some weak, with specific types appearing at various stages of hair growth.

Hypothyroidism harms rat skin, but topical triiodothyronine may help improve it.

Melatonin affects certain genes and pathways involved in cashmere goat hair growth.

Melatonin can increase cashmere yield by altering gene expression and restarting the growth cycle early.

Hair diversity is influenced by complex genetics and environmental factors, requiring more research for practical solutions.

Stress may contribute to hair loss in alopecia areata by affecting immune responses and cell death in hair follicles.

A 3-month stay in space causes skin thinning, disrupts hair growth, and changes muscle-related genes in mice.

Growing hair follicles have high mitochondrial activity and ROS in specific regions, aiding hair formation.
