This study suggests that structural changes in the TRPV3 channel are linked to severe skin conditions like Olmsted syndrome, with differences observed between heat-activated and resting states.

This study shows that the Wnt-β-catenin pathway promotes TERT expression in both stem and cancer cells, linking tumorigenesis with pluripotency.

This study suggests that the interaction between the hairless and wise proteins can help bald mice regrow fur, highlighting its essential role in hair-follicle regeneration.

This study determined the levels of several elements including iodine and bromine in hair samples from patients with various thyroid diseases compared to control groups without such conditions.

This study found that in a population of hair follicles, regenerative cycling stages are regulated by both intrinsic and extrinsic signals, with WNT/BMP signaling mediating interactions among follicles for adaptability.

In this study, researchers found that supplementation with L-cystine, either alone or with a keratin hydrolysate, significantly improved hair density, hair and nail brightness, and nail growth in women experiencing acute telogen effluvium and brittle nail syndrome over three months.

In this study, researchers used iron ion coordination to successfully create a molecular knot with three organic ligand strands and eight crossings.

This review discusses the history, structure, and biological significance of keratins, including the crystal structure of a keratin helical segment, without reporting new experimental results.

This review discusses the role and regulation of quiescent adult stem cells in tissue maintenance and repair, focusing on molecular mechanisms and their implications for regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

Keratin heterodimers are preferred for their specific and structural advantages.

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.

This study concluded that the curliness of human hair, regardless of ethnicity, originates from the inhomogeneous internal nanostructure due to differences in the distribution of two types of cortices.

This paper explores the diverse patterns and social significance of Black hair, approaching it as an art form, mathematical pattern, and ethnomathematic entity, and seeks to dispel myths while highlighting its vast possibilities.

This study found that the structural and chemical composition of human curly hair may resemble that of sheep wool, implying a shared characteristic among mammals with wavy hair.

Curly and straight hair differ in how their internal fibers are arranged.

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 in frizzled 6 null mice, initially uncorrelated hair follicle orientations develop into highly ordered patterns over time, suggesting possible mechanisms for biological structure patterning.

In this study, researchers found that the curliness of human hair is associated with an asymmetric structure at the cellular level, particularly in the differentiation of the precortex.

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

This study observed that human hair macrofibrils predominantly exhibit a double-twist architecture with varying inter-macrofibril angles, advancing insights into their structural organization and mechanical implications.

This study identified a novel KRT86 mutation associated with autosomal dominant monilethrix, expanding understanding of its genetic basis beyond known motifs.

This paper offers detailed tables of genotypic and phenotypic data on horses, including markers, variants, and haplotypes, but reports no new research results.

This study proposes that the terminal tuft structure in sensory nerve endings, involving Schwann cell processes and axon fingers, potentially plays a role in mechano-electric transduction in rats.

This study presents additional data suggesting that the absence of nerve endings in certain segments of human hair follicles influences the asymmetrical distribution of electrical charges, as indicated by no precipitation of Potassium Ferricyanide crystals.

Researchers developed a new type of memory using antiferromagnets that is stable, not disrupted by magnets, and works at room temperature.

This review details the development of the alpha-helix model for protein structure proposed by Pauling and Corey and confirms its validity through X-ray studies of myoglobin and lysozyme.

This study confirms that the proposed universal model for hard α-keratin structure applies to all known forms across various mammalian species.

In this study, researchers used synchrotron X-ray imaging to examine rat vibrissa follicles, finding that despite variations in vibrissa length and follicle size, certain sensory structures remain consistent, suggesting specialized roles in sensory processing depending on the vibrissa type.

This study provided new insights into the complex and heterogeneous architecture of keratin filaments, revealing their dynamic and flexible structure through cryo-electron microscopy analysis.
