This study found that recombinant human hair keratin proteins K31 and K81 show greater potential for inducing skin cell differentiation compared to natural keratin coatings.

In this study, micro-CT analysis revealed that severe hypospadias in finasteride-induced rats was associated with varying levels of preputial blood circulation, impacting potential surgical approaches.

Hair shaft changes may be linked to CCCA, but their role is unclear.

This study discusses that permanent hair straightening can be achieved at neutral or acidic pH conditions, with varying effects on cystine and lanthionine levels, by inducing supercontraction of the hair fiber.

This article discusses the genetic hair disorder monilethrix, characterized by beaded, fragile hair due to defective keratin genes, and reports no effective treatment currently available; variability in severity was noted among affected siblings.

This study found that the molecular structure of hair is more sensitive to synchrotron X-ray radiation than its supramolecular architecture, indicating potential concerns for biological analyses using such radiation.

This study found that BBS7 expression is crucial for maintaining Sonic hedgehog signaling and periodontal ligament homeostasis in occlusal hypofunctional conditions.

This study reports a semidominant inheritance of epidermolytic ichthyosis due to a KRT1 mutation, which was previously thought to be only inherited dominantly.

Two siblings have a rare genetic condition causing curly, coarse hair.

This study found that brushing hair increases the ratio of long-to-short segment breaks compared to combing, with factors like bleaching and wet combing contributing to more long segment breaks.

In this study, researchers found that a high-fat diet in mice induced downregulation of certain Krtap genes in the tongue, which may be linked to structural issues or oral cancer risk, highlighting a potential connection between oral health and systemic diseases like metabolic syndrome.

In this study, researchers used a hypospadiac rat model to demonstrate abnormal genital development, similar to human penoscrotal hypospadias, highlighting the model's value for studying penile growth and differentiation.

Oxidized trichocyte keratin has a helical dislocation in its structure.

This study discovered that calcium dependent protein kinase 1 (CPK1) directly activates cyclic nucleotide-gated channels 5, 6, and 9, promoting root hair growth in Arabidopsis by regulating Ca²⁺ signaling.

This study suggests that BBS7 is crucial for maintaining PDL homeostasis by supporting Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, with occlusal hypofunction leading to its downregulation and associated tissue changes.

In this review of permanent hairstyles like perms, the authors discuss the chemical processes involved and highlight potential risks such as hair and scalp damage, emphasizing the need for careful client assessment and safe application techniques to mitigate these risks.

This study reports that pulsed biomagnetic fields may play a role in the deformation of red blood cells by facilitating cross-talk between RBCs and human hairs in vitro.

This review discusses the chemical processes involved in hair styling and straightening and reports no new results; the authors highlight pregnancy safety with hair treatments during pregnancy.

In this study, the researchers identified a third keratin 6 gene in mice and developed a double knockout model that could aid in hair growth research.

This study found that microfibrils play a crucial role in shaping permanent waves by thioglycolic acid, and treating damaged hair with hydrolyzed keratin improved both waving efficiency and hair damage.

In this study, researchers discovered a honeycomb-like structure in the skin of spiny mice that facilitates tissue shedding and regeneration, attributed to a uniquely arranged collagen VI and influenced by spiny hair development.

This study introduces a magnet-assisted fabrication strategy for creating complex 3D soft bioscaffolds, demonstrating its effectiveness by producing structures with overhangs and supporting biohybrid actuators, promising advancements in biomedical applications.

This text describes kerion, a severe form of tinea capitis, and emphasizes the difficulty of diagnosis and the need for oral antifungal treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that BBS7 downregulation in occlusal hypofunctional PDL affects Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, impacting PDL homeostasis.

This study developed a sensitive method for assessing hair keratin stretch elasticity modulus, suggesting potential applications in forensic medicine.

In this study, keratin genes mHa1 and mHb4 were unable to form an extensive keratin network in one cell line, altering endogenous keratin distribution, but showed better integration in another cell line.

This study found that specific variants of the KAP6-1 gene in cashmere-producing goats were associated with changes in fiber diameter and length, suggesting potential as genetic markers for fiber improvement.
