390-420 / 1000+ results research Human hair melanins: what we have learned and have not learned from mouse coat color pigmentation
We know a lot about mouse hair color, but not much about human hair color differences.
research 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 Update on detection, morphology and fragility in pili annulati in three kindreds
Careful light microscopy is crucial for detecting mild cases of pili annulati, which weakens hair and varies widely in expression.
research The role of disulfide bond formation in the structural transition observed in the intermediate filaments of developing hair
Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair structure during keratinization.
research Protein and sulphur amino acid nutrition of hair fibre-producing Angora and Cashmere goats
Giving high-quality protein or methionine supplements helps improve hair growth in Angora goats and, to a lesser extent, in Cashmere goats.
research INHIBITION OF KERATINIZING STRUCTURES BY SYSTEMIC DRUGS
Some drugs can cause hair loss and skin issues.
research An Electron Microscopy Study of Keratin Degradation by the Fungus Microsporum gypseum in vitro
Microsporum gypseum fungus breaks down keratin in hair by digesting it enzymatically, starting with less keratinized parts.
research Solubility of Structurally Complicated Materials: 3. Hair
Hair is hard to dissolve because of its complex proteins, but certain solvents that break specific bonds and hydrate can do it.
research The physical and chemical disruption of human hair after bleaching – studies by transmission electron microscopy and redox proteomics
Bleaching hair causes severe structural and chemical damage, including protein loss and oxidation.
research Generalized trichorrhexis nodosa
The hair disorder was caused by abnormal protein formation, making hair easily damaged.
research Polarization Microscopy of Hair in Acrodermatitis Enteropathica
Zinc therapy improved hair health in a girl with acrodermatitis enteropathica.
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 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 Proteins of Normal and Aberrant Hair Keratins
Hair is mostly made of three protein types: helical, high-sulfur, and high-tyrosine.
research Structural changes in trichocyte keratin intermediate filaments during keratinization
Keratin structure changes during keratinization, but the exact model remains uncertain.
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 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 Permanent waving and hair straightening
Thioglycolate lotions are the most popular method for permanent waving and hair straightening.
research A Fatty Acid / Protein Complex in Human Hair
A fatty acid/protein complex in human hair helps protect it from damage.
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.
research CERTAIN PHASES OF SULFUR METABOLISM OF THE SKIN
Cystine is crucial for forming keratin in hair, wool, and nails.
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 Special Biochemical Features of the Hair Follicle
Hair follicles have unique proteins that vary by species and are influenced by nutrition.
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 Copper and calcium uptake in colored hair
Hair coloring increases copper and calcium uptake, damaging hair and reducing shine.
research Incorporation of Selenium-75 into Dog Hair
Selenium-75 stays in dog hair for up to 316 days.
research The Oxidative Degradation of Keratin (Wool and Bovine Hair)
Oxidizing agents break down keratin in wool and hair, causing swelling and increased solubility.
