research Stress-Sensing in the Human Greying Hair Follicle: Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) Depletion in Hair Bulb Melanocytes in Canities-Prone Scalp
Hair greying is linked to reduced ATM protein in hair cells, which protects against stress and damage.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research Integrating Herbal Components Into Pharmaceutical Formulations for Hair Woes
Herbal ingredients like aloe vera and hibiscus can help with hair problems like hair loss and dandruff.
research Cheating on Forensic Hair Testing? Detection of Potential Biomarkers for Cosmetically Altered Hair Samples Using Untargeted Hair Metabolomics
Researchers found markers that can tell if hair has been bleached, which could improve hair test accuracy.
research Highly Conserved Keratin-Associated Protein 7-1 Gene in Yak, Taurine, and Zebu Cattle
The KRTAP7-1 gene is very similar across different cattle and yak breeds and likely plays a role in hair strength and shape.
research Extraction of Keratin from Human Hair Waste for Copolymerization with Nitrile Butadiene Rubber
Human hair keratin mixed with rubber slightly improves its strength and biodegradability.
research Plants Producing Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins in Traditional Medicine
Some plants used in traditional medicine may help treat cancer because they contain proteins that can inactivate ribosomes.
research Keratinocyte-Derived Follistatin Regulates Epidermal Homeostasis and Wound Repair
Activin activation in skin cells speeds up wound healing without affecting scar quality.
research Isolation and Characterization of Recombinant Murine Wnt3a
Scientists successfully purified a protein called Wnt3a, which is involved in processes like hair growth, but the overall yield was low, suggesting more work is needed to improve this.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Cosmetic procedures can harm hair, but damage can be minimized with knowledge and care; however, once hair is damaged, it cannot be reliably repaired.
research Prostaglandin D2 Inhibits Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Neogenesis Through the Receptor Gpr44
Prostaglandin D2 blocks new hair growth after skin injury through the Gpr44 receptor.
research Malignancy and Cancer Treatment-Related Hair and Nail Changes
Hair and nail changes can indicate health issues, including cancer and side effects from cancer treatments.
research Laser Hair Removal: Efficacy and Challenges
Laser hair removal works well for people with dark hair and light skin, but it's less effective for light hair or dark skin; improvements are expected.
research Alteration of Skin Wound Healing in Keratinocyte-Specific Mediator Complex Subunit 1 Null Mice
MED1 affects skin wound healing differently in young and old mice.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Hair can't be reliably repaired once damaged; prevention and proper product use are key to maintaining hair health.
