Research
870-900 / 1000+ resultsresearch Mammalian keratin associated proteins (KRTAPs) subgenomes: disentangling hair diversity and adaptation to terrestrial and aquatic environments
Different hair types in mammals are linked to variations in specific protein genes, with changes influenced by their living environments.
research Proteomic tools for the investigation of human hair structural proteins and evidence of weakness sites on hair keratin coil segments
Hair proteins have weak spots in their α-helical segments.
research Distribution and Localization of Hydrophobic and Ionic Chemical Groups at the Surface of Bleached Human Hair Fibers
Bleaching hair removes its protective top layer and exposes more hydrophilic groups, changing its chemical surface and affecting how it interacts with products.
research Characterization of the exocuticle a‐layer proteins of wool
The outer layer of Merino wool is rich in sulfur proteins, making it resistant to damage.
research Identification of two novel clusters of ultrahigh-sulfur keratin-associated protein genes on human chromosome 11
Two new gene clusters important for hair formation were found on human chromosome 11.
research 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 Colocalization of Cystatin M/E and its Target Proteases Suggests a Role in Terminal Differentiation of Human Hair Follicle and Nail
Cystatin M/E helps in the final stages of hair and nail formation by controlling certain enzymes.
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 Nutrition of women with hair loss problem during the period of menopause
Eating a balanced diet with specific nutrients is important for menopausal women to manage hair loss.
research CERTAIN PHASES OF SULFUR METABOLISM OF THE SKIN
Cystine is crucial for forming keratin in hair, wool, and nails.
research The effect of dietary modulation of sulfur amino acids on cystathionine β synthase–deficient mice
Changing the diet of mice lacking the enzyme CBS can affect symptoms related to the genetic condition.
research The Oxidative Degradation of Keratin (Wool and Bovine Hair)
Oxidizing agents break down keratin in wool and hair, causing swelling and increased solubility.
research Structural analysis of the outermost hair surface using TOF-SIMS with gas cluster ion beam sputtering
The hair's outermost surface has multiple layers of lipids and proteins.
research Identification of 736T>A mutation of lipase H in Japanese siblings with autosomal recessive woolly hair
The 736T>A mutation in the LIPH gene is common in Japanese people with autosomal recessive woolly hair.
research In vitro methodology, hormonal and nutritional effects and fibre production in isolated ovine and caprine anagen hair follicles
Angora goat hair grows faster and produces more protein than cashmere goat hair, and certain hormones and nutrients positively affect hair growth and protein synthesis.
research Human hair melanins: what we have learned and have not learned from mouse coat color pigmentation
We know less about human hair pigmentation than mouse coat color, but pH and cysteine levels are key factors.
research Single-cell transcriptomics defines keratinocyte differentiation in avian scutate scales
The research identified two types of keratinocytes in chicken scales: one for hard scales and another for soft skin, with similarities to human skin differentiation.
research Discovery of differentially expressed genes in cashmere goat (Capra hircus) hair follicles by RNA sequencing
Researchers found 617 genes that behave differently in cashmere goat hair follicles, which could help understand hair growth.
research Human hair proteins as natural reactive oxygen species scavengers for in vitro applications
Human hair proteins, especially keratins, can protect cells from oxidative stress in lab settings.
research Characteristic microstructure of curved human hair
Curved human hair has different structures on its convex and concave sides.
research Amino Acid Compositions of Human Hair Fibrous Protein Components Purified with Two‐dimensional Electrophoresis
Human hair proteins have similar cysteine and glycine levels to skin proteins.
research Internal structure changes in bleached black human hair resulting from chemical treatments: A Raman spectroscopic investigation
Chemical treatments on bleached black hair change its internal structure by breaking and reforming bonds, and treatments with hydrolyzed eggwhite protein help repair it.
research Spontaneous hair hyperpigmentation in response to vitamin intake in pregnancy—A clue for homocystinuria
Taking vitamin B6 corrected a pregnant woman's metabolic disorder, which changed her hair color.
