research Pre-keratin isolated from epidermal microsomes
research Homo- and heteropolymer self-assembly of recombinant trichocytic keratins
Recombinant keratins can form useful structures for medical applications, overcoming natural keratin limitations.
research Locations of synthesis of hair structural proteins in human anagen follicles
Hair structural proteins are synthesized sequentially in specific cells, offering a new way to study hair proteins and defects.
research Local structure of human hair spatially resolved by sub-micron X-ray beam
Human hair has a new region with ordered filaments and the cuticle contains β-keratin sheets.
research Ultrastructural visualization of cross-linked protein features in epidermal appendages
Cross-linked proteins help maintain the structure of hair, feathers, and hagfish teeth.
research 2P546 Structural Analysis of Curly and Straight Human Hair Fibers by Scanning Microbeam SAXS(52. Bio-imaging,Poster Session,Abstract,Meeting Program of EABS & BSJ 2006)
