Human hair keratins K85 and K35 create unique filament patterns important for early hair formation.

Disulfide bonds make keratin in hair stronger and tougher.

Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.

Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.

Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.

Environmental factors can cause mutations in skin proteins, leading to skin disorders.

Some hair protein genes evolved early and were adapted for use in hair follicles.

Keratin-associated proteins have ancient origins and were used for different purposes before being adapted for hair in mammals.

Cats with abnormal hair had DSG4 gene changes causing hair problems.

High glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated proteins help make hair strong and maintain its shape.

Keratin proteins in epithelial cells are dynamic and crucial for cell processes and disease understanding.

Hard skin features like scales, feathers, and hair evolved through specific protein changes in different animal groups.

New treatments targeting specific genes show promise for treating keratin disorders.

Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.

Feed restriction in sheep leads to finer wool fibers but may reduce wool quality.

Recombinant keratin K31 makes damaged hair thicker, stronger, and straighter.

KAP genes show significant genetic variability, but its impact on hair traits is unclear.

The study found nine new hair protein genes in human hair follicles.

Desmoglein 4 is controlled by specific proteins that affect hair growth.

Human hair is made up of different keratins, some strong and some weak, with specific types appearing at various stages of hair growth.

HOXC13 is essential for hair and nail development by regulating Foxn1.

The document concludes that over 500 genes are linked to hair disorders and this knowledge is important for creating new treatments.

The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.

Protein composition greatly affects the function of keratin biomaterials.

Keratin from human hair shows promise for medical uses like wound healing and tissue engineering.

The study identified and characterized new keratin genes linked to hair follicles and epithelial tissues.

Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.

A new mutation in the KRT86 gene was found to cause the hair disorder monilethrix in a Han family.

Hair follicle development is controlled by interactions between skin tissues and specific molecular signals.

A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.
