research Ovine KRTAP36-2: A New Keratin-Associated Protein Gene Related to Variation in Wool Yield
The KRTAP36-2 gene in sheep affects wool yield.
research Keratosis Pilaris Is a Keratinization of Hair Follicles
Keratosis pilaris is a common skin condition where hair follicles get clogged with keratin, mostly on the arms and thighs.
research Early and Late Matrix Progenitors Form the Terminally Differentiated Cell Layers of the Hair Follicle
Early and late matrix progenitors in hair follicles create different cell layers, with early ones forming the companion layer and later ones forming the inner root sheath and hair shaft.
research Diffuse Partial Woolly Hair in a Patient with Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex with Mottled Pigmentation
A patient with a rare hair condition and skin disorder showed hair improvement after treatment.
research Localized Primary Cutaneous Nodular Amyloidosis in a Patient With Paraproteinemia
An elderly man with skin amyloidosis and abnormal blood proteins was monitored without finding widespread disease after 18 months.
research Pitx2, A β-Catenin-Regulated Transcription Factor, Regulates The Differentiation Of Outer Root Sheath Cells Cultured In Vitro
Pitx2 helps outer root sheath cells differentiate but can't start hair growth on its own.
research Research Snippets: Dermatological Genetics and Conditions
New gene mutations linked to skin conditions were found, bacteria and chemicals may worsen acne, a dog mutation could exist in humans, virus-like elements might be involved in psoriasis, and a vitamin D3 treatment doesn't prevent chemotherapy-related hair loss.
research Rare Diagnosis of a Proliferating Pilar Tumor in a Facial Hairline Cyst
The lump on a woman's scalp was a rare, potentially cancerous tumor from the hair follicle, not a common cyst.

Human hair contains diverse proteins, including keratins and histones, which could help assess hair health and aging.
research Skin Keratins
Keratins are important for skin cell health and their problems can cause diseases.
research Prolactin: An Emerging Force Along the Cutaneous–Endocrine Axis
Prolactin may play a significant role in skin and hair health and could be a target for treating skin and hair disorders.
research Organization and Expression of Hair Follicle Genes
Hair growth is controlled by specific gene clusters and proteins, and cysteine affects hair gene expression in sheep.
research Disruption of Smad4 in Mouse Epidermis Leads to Depletion of Follicle Stem Cells
Disrupting Smad4 in mouse skin causes early hair follicle stem cell activity that leads to their eventual depletion.
research Congenital Hair Loss Disorders: Rare, But Not Too Rare
