This study found that hair curvature in merino wool is influenced by differences in cell type length rather than the proportions of orthocortical and paracortical cells.

In this study, the bending stiffness of human hair was linked to the varying proportions of para-like versus ortho-like cortical cells within the hair fiber.

This study found that the curl in hair is due to the arrangement of different cell types, with shorter paracortical cells inside the curve and longer orthocortical cells outside.

This study examined hair curvature in Japanese women, finding that 47% have curved hair, and identified structural differences in hair fiber, which resemble those in wool fibers.

Only two of the four keratin genes are expressed in wool fibers.

This study observed that hair fibers in older women become more curved with age, decreasing hair luster due to their disordered alignment and structural differences between the convex and concave sides.

This study found that 53% of Japanese women have straight hair while 47% have varying degrees of curved hair, with distinct structural differences observed in the internal makeup of curved hair fibers.

This study observed that the molecular structure of keratins in hair fibres' discrete transition zone differs in breast cancer patients, with altered lipid ester absorption bands reverting post-cancer removal.

This research explores the use of serial block-face scanning electron microscopy to model the complex architecture of sheep wool fibres, focusing on the role and distribution of para- and ortho-cortical cells in determining wool curliness, though the mechanism remains unclear.

This paper reviews the complex anatomy and development of human hair and emphasizes the need to understand these processes for interpreting drug incorporation into hair, with no new clinical results reported.

This study found that in naturally curved human scalp hairs, distinct arrangements of cell types on either side of the hair fiber contribute to its curvature.

This study suggests that TGF-alpha may function in an autocrine or juxtacrine manner rather than promoting cell proliferation during hair growth cycles in ferrets and sheep.

This study introduces a modular fiber model to investigate how changes in microstructural properties of wool affect its critical buckling load, highlighting potential uses and areas needing further research in wool fiber biophysics.

This study identified a unique concentric double-layered structure in both Japanese and Caucasian SHINAYAKA hair, associated with improved flexibility and elasticity, and developed a succinic acid treatment to enhance these properties.

This study found that crossbred lambs fed liquid diets with reconstituted cow's milk initially grew wool without crimp, with crimp resuming two weeks post-weaning.

This review explores potential new roles for Merkel cells, including involvement in magnetoreception, fingerprint formation, and transmitting environmental information, but reports no experimental results.

This review discusses the role of TGF-β signaling in stem cell recruitment and tissue regeneration, indicating that abnormalities in TGF-β activation contribute to various major diseases and suggesting avenues for therapeutic intervention.

This review explores the role of TGF-β superfamily pathways in stem cell environments and their implications for tissue regeneration and cancer development, reporting no new experimental results.

This study observed that stem cells from the hair follicle dermis share similarities with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and have potential to form neural-like cells under specific conditions.

This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to map the cellular composition of sheep hair follicles, revealing differentiation pathways and potential molecular mechanisms for wool curvature, which may inform sheep breeding.

This study found that inducing miR-205 reduces actin contractility and stiffness in hair follicle stem cells and progenitors, stimulating hair regeneration in both young and old mice.

This Ph.D. project aims to evaluate the self-assembling potential of hair keratin extracts and study the cellular response to both crude and purified keratins, highlighting their potential applications from biomedical to water remediation.

This review discusses the role of various genetic regulators in maintaining human mesenchymal stem cell stemness and highlights strategies for ex-vivo expansion, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, enteroendocrine cells were shown to coordinate intestinal stem cell migration towards a wound in Drosophila by releasing a ligand that activates non-canonical Wnt signaling, aiding efficient tissue repair.

This study reports that Elvitegravir, a drug currently approved for other uses, shows potential as a neuro- and mitoprotective agent by attenuating mitochondrial damage caused by NMDA receptors in primary mouse cortical neurons.

This study suggests that dihydrotestosterone plays a key role in the development of chronic allograft nephropathy, and inhibiting androgens may improve long-term kidney transplant outcomes.

This study observed that patients receiving IL-2 immunotherapy developed a skin eruption characterized by burning and pruritus, which resolved shortly after stopping the infusion, suggesting that IL-2 mediated these effects.

This review provides an overview of recent tissue engineering and regenerative medicine developments in Asia, highlighting significant advances, representative research achievements, and discussing future directions, without presenting new research results.

This review discusses the role of fibroblast heterogeneity in kidney pathology, particularly their contribution to tertiary lymphoid tissue formation, and reports no new results.

This study found that keratin-based particles were able to recover and enhance the mechanical properties and thermal stability of virgin and overbleached Asian hair, improving its strength and smoothness by around 40%, and demonstrated safety in human skin keratinocytes.
