30-60 / 924 results research The Complexity of the Ovine and Caprine Keratin-Associated Protein Genes
Sheep and goat hair fibers are complex due to keratin-associated proteins, which are important for fiber properties and growth.
research Insights on the Mechanical Behavior of Keratin Fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research Characterization of Human KAP24.1, A Cuticular Hair Keratin-Associated Protein with Unusual Amino Acid Composition and Repeat Structure
Scientists discovered a unique hair protein, KAP24.1, with a special structure, found only in the upper part of hair cuticles.
research Simultaneous RP-HPLC-DAD Determination of Dansyl Amino Acids in Chemically Treated Human Hair
A new method accurately measures amino acids in treated hair, showing bleaching reduces amino acids while protein treatments increase them.
research Association Analysis of Polymorphisms in Six Keratin Genes with Wool Traits in Sheep
Certain gene mutations are linked to wool quality in sheep and could help in breeding for better wool.

A new mutation in the KRT86 gene was found to cause the hair disorder monilethrix in a Han family.
research Development, Structure, and Keratin Expression in C57BL/6J Mouse Eccrine Glands
The study found that mouse sweat glands develop before birth, mature after birth, and have specific keratin patterns.
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 Whole Exome Sequencing in Alopecia Areata Identifies Rare Variants in KRT82
Rare changes in the KRT82 gene are linked to a higher risk of Alopecia Areata.

Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
research Premature Aging Syndromes: From Patients to Mechanism
Studying premature aging syndromes helps understand human aging and suggests potential treatments.
research The Fate of Trichohyalin
Trichohyalin is modified by enzymes to form strong structures in hair cells.
research Variation in the Exon 3–4 Region of Ovine KRT85 and Its Effect on Wool Traits
KRT85 gene variations can help improve wool traits in sheep through selective breeding.
research Mechanical Forces in Skin Disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research Pleiotropic Role of Notch Signaling in Human Skin Diseases
Notch signaling disruptions can cause various skin diseases.
research Compartmentation of Mitochondrial and Oxidative Metabolism in Growing Hair Follicles: A Ring of Fire
Growing hair follicles have high mitochondrial activity and ROS in specific regions, aiding hair formation.

The research identified genes that explain why some sheep have curly wool and others have straight wool.
research Investigation by Imaging Mass Spectrometry of Biomarker Candidates for Aging in the Hair Cortex
Certain molecules in hair change with age and could be used for cosmetic treatments.
research Transcriptome Dynamics Reveal Stage-Specific and Melatonin-Triggered Gene Expression Patterns During the Cashmere Growth Cycle in Capra Hircus
Melatonin affects certain genes and pathways involved in cashmere goat hair growth.
research Transcriptome Dynamics Reveal Stage-Specific and Melatonin-Triggered Gene Expression Patterns During the Cashmere Growth Cycle in Capra Hircus
Melatonin can increase cashmere yield by altering gene expression and restarting the growth cycle early.
research LncRNAs Regulate the Cyclic Growth and Development of Hair Follicles in Dorper Sheep
Certain long non-coding RNAs are important for controlling hair growth cycles in sheep.
research Gene-Knockout Mice With Abnormal Epidermal and Hair Follicular Development
Knocking out certain genes in mice helps understand skin and hair growth problems.
research An Epistatic Effect of KRT25 on SP6 Is Involved in Curly Coat in Horses
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.
