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

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

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

Keratin 33A is a key protein in goat winter coats, especially in high-producing breeds.

Keratose, derived from human hair, is a non-toxic biomaterial good for tissue regeneration and integrates well with body tissues.

Mice with too much Claudin-6 have skin barrier problems and abnormal hair growth.

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

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

Different hair protein amounts change the strength of keratin/chitosan gels, useful for making predictable tissue engineering materials.

Rare changes in the KRT82 gene are linked to a higher risk of Alopecia Areata.

A different gene near the hairless gene on chromosome 8p21 causes a rare hair loss condition in a German family.

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

Scientists discovered a unique hair protein, KAP24.1, with a special structure, found only in the upper part of hair cuticles.

The KRTAP36-2 gene in sheep affects wool yield.

The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.

High MUC-18/MCAM levels in blood indicate a worse outlook for melanoma patients.

Dermatoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing hair disorders and can help choose samples for more detailed analysis.

S100A3 protein is crucial for hair shaft formation in mice.

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

Certain molecules in hair change with age and could be used for cosmetic treatments.

New hair loss treatments may include topical medications, injections, and improved transplant methods.

The document explains how to create detailed biological pathways using genomic data and tools, with examples of hair and breast development.

Certain DNA regions in alpacas are linked to fiber diameter.

New hair follicle-targeting treatments show promise for hair disorders but need more research on safety and effectiveness.

Mutations in specific keratin genes cause improper hair structure in mice due to faulty keratin protein assembly.

Scientists created keratinocyte cell lines from human hair that can differentiate similarly to normal skin cells, offering a new way to study skin biology and diseases.

Some plants with flavonoids may help treat hair loss and promote hair growth.

ADAM 10 and ADAM 12 proteins are involved in different stages of hair growth and could be targets for treating hair disorders.

Disulfide bonds make keratin in hair stronger and tougher.

Sheep and goat hair fibers are complex due to keratin-associated proteins, which are important for fiber properties and growth.
