research A Hairy Situation: PADIs in Regeneration and Alopecia
Enzymes called PADIs play a key role in hair growth and loss.
research Evo Devo of the Vertebrate Integument
The skin systems of jawed vertebrates evolved diverse appendages like hair and scales from a common structure over 420 million years ago.
research Nanofiber Scaffolds as Drug Delivery Systems Promoting Wound Healing
Nanofiber scaffolds help wounds heal by delivering drugs directly to the injury site.
research The Role of the Vitamin D Receptor in the Epidermal Stem Cell Response to Wounding
Vitamin D receptor is crucial for skin wound healing.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research p53 Is a Direct Transcriptional Repressor of Keratin 17: Lessons from a Rat Model of Radiation Dermatitis
The protein p53 directly reduces the production of Keratin 17, a skin and hair protein, in rats with radiation dermatitis.
research All Roads Lead to the Nucleus: Integration of Signaling, Transcription Factor-Mediated, and Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms in the Control of Skin Development and Regeneration
The nucleus is key in controlling skin growth and repair by coordinating signals, gene regulators, and epigenetic changes.
research Stem Cell Markers (Cytokeratin 15, CD34, and Nestin) in Primary Scarring and Nonscarring Alopecia
Scarring alopecia affects different hair follicle stem cells than nonscarring alopecia, and the infundibular region could be a new treatment target.

Trichohyalin makes hair follicles stronger.
research Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Analysis of Human Hair Fiber Structure
Human hair has different protein structures in its cuticle and cortex.
research Hair Greying Is Associated With Active Hair Growth
White hair grows thicker and faster than black hair due to higher activity of growth-related genes and proteins.
research Expression of Novel Keratin-Associated Protein 5 Genes in the Cuticle Layer of Human Hair Follicles
The study found nine new hair protein genes in human hair follicles.
research Effect of Thermal Treatments on the Structural Change and Hemostatic Property of Hair Extracted Proteins
Heating hair proteins changes their structure and may improve their blood clotting ability.
research A Methodological Exploration of Distinguishing Hair Quality Based on Hair Proteomics
Bleaching damages hair by reducing the quality of keratin and keratin-associated proteins.

research Age-Associated Thin Hair Displays Molecular, Structural, and Mechanical Characteristic Changes
Older thin hair is not just thinner but also has different shape, structure, and stiffness.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
