research Through the Lens of Hair Follicle Neogenesis: A New Focus on Mechanisms of Skin Regeneration After Wounding
Hair can regrow in large wounds through a process similar to how hair forms in embryos, and understanding this could lead to new treatments for hair loss or scarring.
research The Human Type II Keratin Gene Cluster on Chromosome 12q13.13: Final Count or Hidden Secrets?
The document concludes that the human keratin gene cluster is complex, with a need for updated naming to reflect over 50 functional genes important for hair and skin biology.
research Prolactin and Its Receptor Are Expressed in Murine Hair Follicle Epithelium, Show Hair Cycle-Dependent Expression, and Induce Catagen
Prolactin affects hair growth cycles and can cause early hair follicle regression.
research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice
Prolactin affects when mice shed and grow hair.
research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice
Prolactin affects when mice shed and grow hair.
research Human Pilosebaceous Culture
Hair follicle cells can help heal wounds and study skin diseases.
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 Using WGCNA to Identify Hub Genes of Skin Hair Follicle Development in Fetal Stage of Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goat
Researchers found WNT10A to be a key gene in developing goat hair follicles.
research The Effect of Ovine Secreted Soluble Factors on Human Dermal Papilla Cell Aggregation
Sheep-derived factors improve human hair cell clustering, which may help hair growth.
research Sequence and Expression of Human Hair Keratin Genes
Human hair keratin genes are similar to mouse genes and are specifically expressed in hair follicles.
research Wound Regeneration Deficit in Rats Correlates with Low Morphogenetic Potential and Distinct Transcriptome Profile of Epidermis
Rats can't grow new hair follicles after skin wounds, unlike mice, due to differences in gene expression and response to WNT signaling.
research Ancient Lineages of the Keratin-Associated Protein (KRTAP) Genes and Their Co-Option in the Evolution of the Hair Follicle
Some hair protein genes evolved early and were adapted for use in hair follicles.
research Structural Hierarchy of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair growth and structure.
research Effect of Fibroblast Growth Factor 10 and an Interacting Non-Coding RNA on Secondary Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells in Cashmere Goats' Follicle Development Assessed by Whole-Transcriptome Sequencing Technology
FGF10 and non-coding RNAs are important for cashmere goat hair follicle development.
research Spermidine Promotes Human Hair Growth and Is a Novel Modulator of Human Epithelial Stem Cell Functions
Spermidine may help reduce hair loss and deserves further testing as a treatment.
research Tyrosinase Depletion Prevents the Maturation of Melanosomes in the Mouse Hair Follicle
Reducing Tyrosinase prevents mature color pigment cells from forming in mouse hair.
research The Study on Biological Function of Keratin 26, a Novel Member of Liaoning Cashmere Goat Keratin Gene Family
Keratin 26 affects cashmere goat hair growth and is influenced by various treatments.
research Characterization of a First Domain of Human High Glycine-Tyrosine and High Sulfur Keratin-Associated Protein Genes on Chromosome 21q22.1
Researchers mapped and categorized specific keratin-associated protein genes on human chromosome 21q22.1.
research Selection Signatures for Fiber Production in Commercial Species: A Review
Genomic research can help improve the quality and production of natural fibers in animals.
research Protein And Sulfur Amino Acid Nutrition Of Hair Fiber-Producing Angora And Cashmere Goats
Giving high-quality protein or methionine supplements helps improve hair growth in Angora goats and, to a lesser extent, in Cashmere goats.
research Single-Cell Analysis Reveals Fibroblast Heterogeneity and Myeloid-Derived Adipocyte Progenitors in Murine Skin Wounds
The research found that different types of fibroblasts are involved in wound healing and that some blood cells can turn into fat cells during this process.
research Hair Follicle Characteristics and Fiber Production in South American Camelids
South American camelids should be sheared early, fleece type affects fiber quality, and the S/P follicle ratio doesn't distinguish between Bolivian llama genotypes.
research Ancient Lineages of the Keratin-Associated Protein (KRTAP) Genes and Their Co-option in the Evolution of the Hair Follicle
Keratin-associated proteins have ancient origins and were used for different purposes before being adapted for hair in mammals.
