research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research The 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Dutasteride but Not Finasteride Protects Dopamine Neurons in the MPTP Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease
Dutasteride protects dopamine neurons in Parkinson's mice, but Finasteride doesn't.
research A Keratin Fiber Sheath
Hair fibers may have a unique, non-protein sheath not previously identified.
research Ancient Lineages of the Keratin-Associated Protein (KRTAP) Genes and Their Co-option in the Evolution of the Hair Follicle
