270-300 / 1000+ resultsresearch Serine-rich ultra high sulfur protein gene expression in murine hair and skin during the hair cycle.
Two specific genes are more active during hair growth in mice.
research Crystalline Cataract and Uncombable Hair
The study found no common cause for a girl's crystalline cataract and uncombable hair, suggesting their co-occurrence might be coincidental.
research [Trichothiodystrophy: a morphological and biochemical study].
Trichothiodystrophy involves brittle hair due to low sulfur amino acids, not a transport defect.
research The sheep KAP8-2 gene, a new KAP8 family member that is absent in humans
Sheep have a unique gene, KAP8-2, that humans don't have, which may affect wool properties.
research Protective effect of conditioning agents on Afro‐ethnic hair chemically treated with thioglycolate‐based straightening emulsion
Conditioning agents, especially jojoba oil and lauryl PEG/PPG-18/18 methicone, protect and strengthen chemically straightened Afro-ethnic hair.
research The Vitamin D Receptor Is Required for Mouse Hair Cycle Progression but not for Maintenance of the Epidermal Stem Cell Compartment
Vitamin D Receptor is needed for hair growth in mice but not for skin stem cell maintenance.
research Co-factors of LIM domains (Clims/Ldb/Nli) regulate corneal homeostasis and maintenance of hair follicle stem cells
Clim proteins are essential for maintaining healthy corneas and hair follicles.
research Problems in evaluating chronic toxicity of contraceptive steroids in dogs
High doses of some contraceptive steroids cause health issues in dogs, but their relevance to humans is unclear.
research Metabolomic analysis of amino acids and lipids in human hair altered by dyeing, perming and bleaching
Chemical treatments like dyeing, perming, and bleaching damage hair by altering amino acids and lipids.
research Photoaggravation of hair aging
Sunlight exposure ages hair, making it brittle, stiff, and dry.
research Studies of the components of an oral contraceptive agent in albino rats. II. Progestogenic component and comparison of effects of the components and the combined agent
High doses of norethindrone acetate in rats caused various organ changes but didn't significantly increase tumor rates.
research Structural changes in trichocyte keratin intermediate filaments during keratinization
Keratin structure changes during keratinization, but the exact model remains uncertain.
research The Proteins of Normal and Aberrant Hair Keratins
Hair is mostly made of three protein types: helical, high-sulfur, and high-tyrosine.
research Mapping the accessibility of the disulfide crosslink network in the wool fiber cortex
Cysteines in wool fibers are accessible and form important disulfide bonds.
research ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND CONTEMPORARY HUMAN HAIR COMPOSITION AND MORPHOLOGY
Mummy hair's chemical composition may not accurately show ancient people's health due to environmental contamination.
research A novel mutation in Hr causes abnormal hair follicle morphogenesis in hairpoor mouse, an animal model for Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis
A new mutation in the Hr gene causes hair loss in mice, similar to a human hair disorder.
research Expression of the human Cathepsin L inhibitor hurpin in mice: skin alterations and increased carcinogenesis
Overexpression of hurpin in mice leads to abnormal skin and higher skin cancer risk.
research In utero Diagnosis of Trichothiodystrophy by Endoscopically-Guided Fetal Eyebrow Biopsy
Prenatal diagnosis of trichothiodystrophy is possible in the second trimester using fetal eyebrow biopsy, with sulfur content analysis being more reliable.
research Analysis of heterogeneous reaction between reducing agents and keratin fibers using Raman spectroscopy and microspectrophotometry
The study found that thioglycolic acid breaks down hair bonds more consistently than l-cysteine, which is less damaging to hair.
research Ornithine decarboxylase transgenic mice as a model for human atrichia with papular lesions
ODC transgenic mice can model human hair loss with skin lesions.
research Permanent waving and hair straightening
Thioglycolate lotions are the most popular method for permanent waving and hair straightening.
research Alopecia Mucinosa
Alopecia mucinosa causes red, raised skin patches and hair loss.
research Histologic progression of acne inversa/hidradenitis suppurativa: Implications for future investigations and therapeutic intervention
Acne inversa is an epithelial-driven disease where inflammation is caused by cyst rupture, and treatments should focus on preventing tendril growth for better results.
research Betaine supplementation is less effective than methionine restriction in correcting phenotypes of CBS deficient mice
Methionine restriction works better than betaine for treating CBS deficiency symptoms in mice.
research A Fatty Acid / Protein Complex in Human Hair
A fatty acid/protein complex in human hair helps protect it from damage.
research Evolution of Trichocyte Keratins
Hair keratins evolved from ancient proteins, diversifying through gene changes, crucial for forming claws and later hair in mammals.
research Photoageing of Hair Fiber and Photoprotection
Sunlight damages hair, causing cuticle loss, protein changes, and discoloration.
research Hair as an Index of Protein Malnutrition
Hair cystine levels may indicate protein malnutrition, but more research is needed.
research African hair morphology: macrostructure to ultrastructure
African hair is more fragile due to its unique shape and internal structure.
