research Genetics of Structural Hair Disorders
The document concludes that over 500 genes are linked to hair disorders and this knowledge is important for creating new treatments.
research Keratin 71 Mutations: From Water Dogs to Woolly Hair
A mutation in the KRT71 gene causes a hair disorder by disrupting hair follicle structure and texture.
research Effect of Equilibrium pH on the Structure and Properties of Bleach-Damaged Human Hair Fibers
Hair's structure and properties change with pH; acidic pH maintains strength and less swelling, while alkaline pH increases water content and swelling.
research Keratin Function and Regulation in Tissue Homeostasis and Pathogenesis
Keratin is crucial for keeping skin cells healthy and its changes can lead to diseases and affect cell behavior.
research Revisiting the Significance of Keratin Expression in Complex Epithelia
Keratin genes change gradually during skin cell development and should be used carefully as biomarkers.
research The Relationship Between Keratin 18 and Epithelial-Derived Tumors: As a Diagnostic Marker, Prognostic Marker, and Its Role in Tumorigenesis
Keratin 18 helps diagnose and predict cancer progression and affects cancer growth and spread.
research Human Hair Keratin-Associated Proteins
Hair keratin-associated proteins are essential for strong hair, with over 80 genes showing specific patterns and variations among people.
research Mechanisms of Hepatocyte Attachment to Keratin Biomaterials
Human liver cells stick to hair protein materials mainly through the liver's asialoglycoprotein receptor.
research α3β1-Integrin Regulates Hair Follicle But Not Interfollicular Morphogenesis in Adult Epidermis
α3β1-integrin is crucial for maintaining normal hair follicle shape and function but not needed for the development of the surrounding skin.
research Whole Exome Sequencing in Alopecia Areata Identifies Rare Variants in KRT82
Rare changes in the KRT82 gene are linked to a higher risk of Alopecia Areata.
research Human Hair Keratin Hydrogel: Fabrication, Characterization, and Application
Keratin hydrogels from human hair show promise for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
research Effect of Varied Hair Protein Fractions on the Gel Properties of Keratin/Chitosan Hydrogels for Use in Tissue Engineering
Different hair protein amounts change the strength of keratin/chitosan gels, useful for making predictable tissue engineering materials.
research Congenital Hair Loss Disorders: Rare, But Not Too Rare
Some hair loss disorders are caused by genetic mutations affecting hair growth.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research A Splice Variant in KRT71 Is Associated with Curly Coat Phenotype of Selkirk Rex Cats
A gene variant in KRT71 causes the curly fur in Selkirk Rex cats.
research Reactive Keratin Derivatives: A Promising Strategy for Covalent Binding to Hair
Modified keratin binds better to hair, especially bleached hair.
research Evaluating the Antioxidant Effects of Human Hair Protein Extracts
Human hair protein extracts can protect skin cells from oxidative stress.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Hair can't be reliably repaired once damaged; prevention and proper product use are key to maintaining hair health.
research Downregulation of mRNAs Encoding Keratin-Associated Proteins in the Tongue of Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet
A high-fat diet may weaken tongue structure by reducing certain protein genes.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Cosmetic procedures can harm hair, but damage can be minimized with knowledge and care; however, once hair is damaged, it cannot be reliably repaired.
research The Naked Truth: Sphynx and Devon Rex Cat Breed Mutations in KRT71
Sphynx cats are hairless and Devon Rex cats have curly hair due to specific genetic mutations.
research A Human Folliculoid Microsphere Assay for Exploring Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions in the Human Hair Follicle
HFMs can help study hair growth and test potential hair growth drugs.
research Dermatoscopy of Hair Shaft Disorders
Dermatoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing hair disorders and can help choose samples for more detailed analysis.
research A Discourse on Human Hair Fibers and Reflections on the Conservation of Drug Molecules
Hair analysis for drugs needs a better understanding of how drugs enter hair, considering factors like hair structure and pigmentation.
research Influence of Feed Restriction on the Wool Proteome: A Combined iTRAQ and Fiber Structural Study
Feed restriction in sheep leads to finer wool fibers but may reduce wool quality.
research The Hair Follicle: An Underutilized Source of Cells and Materials for Regenerative Medicine
Hair follicles are valuable for regenerative medicine and wound healing.
research Intragenic Deletion in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Underlies the Skin Phenotype in the Iffa Credo Hairless Rat
A gene deletion causes the "hairless" trait in Iffa Credo rats.
research Discoid Lupus Alopecia Complicated by Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia on a Background of Androgenetic Alopecia
