research Structure and Hair Follicle-Specific Expression of Genes Encoding the Rat High Sulfur Protein B2 Family
The B2 genes are crucial for hair growth in rats.
research Effect of Equilibrium pH on the Structure and Properties of Bleach-Damaged Human Hair Fibers
Hair's structure and properties change with pH; acidic pH maintains strength and less swelling, while alkaline pH increases water content and swelling.
research A Highly Resistant Structure Between Cuticle and Cortex of Human Hair
A tough membrane between the outer and inner layers of human hair protects it from damage.
research Is Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone a Novel Neuroendocrine Modulator of Keratin Expression in Human Skin?
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone may help control skin and hair growth and could aid in treating related disorders.
research Targeting the Stem Cell Niche: Role of Collagen XVII in Skin Aging and Wound Repair
Collagen XVII is important for skin aging and wound healing.
research Molecular Genetics of Alopecias
Scientists have found specific genes linked to different hair loss conditions, which could lead to new treatments.
research Keratin-Mediated Hair Growth and Its Underlying Biological Mechanism
Keratin injections can promote hair growth by affecting hair-forming cells and tissue development.
research Molecular Elements of the Regulatory Control of Keratin Filament Modulator AHF/Trichohyalin in the Hair Follicle
The study concluded that a protein important for hair strength is regulated by certain molecular processes and is affected by growth phases.
research Revisiting the Significance of Keratin Expression in Complex Epithelia
Keratin genes change gradually during skin cell development and should be used carefully as biomarkers.
research Stiffness of Human Hair Correlates with the Fractions of Cortical Cell Types
Hair stiffness is higher when it has more para-like cortical cells.
research Formation of the Cornified Envelope
