research Cross-linked features of mouse pelage hair resistant to detergent extraction
Some mutant mice have hair with abnormal cross-linking, mainly in the cuticle, not affecting other hair parts.
research Reductive Stress Selectively Disrupts Collagen Homeostasis and Modifies Growth Factor-independent Signaling Through the MAPK/Akt Pathway in Human Dermal Fibroblasts
Reductive stress messes up collagen balance and alters cell signaling in human skin cells, which could help treat certain skin diseases.
research Improved two‐dimensional electrophoretic mapping of Japanese human hair proteins; application to curved and straight Japanese human hairs; and protein identification by MALDI MS and MS/MS quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry
The study found that minor protein differences between curved and straight Japanese hair are unlikely to significantly affect hair structure.
research Cross‐linked features of mouse pelage hair resistant to detergent extraction
Two mouse mutants have defective hair cuticle cross-linking.
research Inheritance of Some Electrophoretic Phenotypes of Human Hair
Human hair protein patterns are inherited genetically.
research Lack of a gonadal or adrenal androgenic mechanism for the hypertrichosis produced by diazoxide, phenytoin and minoxidil
These drugs cause hair growth without affecting testosterone or adrenal hormones.
research Structural Changes of Hair Keratin by Reduction, Heat and subsequent Oxidation Treatments
DTDG in hair treatments reduces damage and preserves hair structure.
research Chemical Reactions Occurring in Curing Treatment for Permanent Hair Straightening Using Thioglycolic and Dithioglycolic Acids
Using both TGA and DTDG in hair straightening reduces hair damage compared to using TGA alone.
research Conformational differences in protein disulfide linkages between normal hair and hair from subjects with trichothiodystrophy: A quantitative analysis by Raman microspectroscopy
TTD hair is brittle due to fewer sulfur amino acids and unstable disulfide bonds.
research Hair loss during lithium treatment
Lithium treatment can cause increased hair shedding and hair loss in patients.
research Skin Keratins
Keratins are important for skin cell health and their problems can cause diseases.
research Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research Electrophoretic variability in human head hair: Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of hair proteins in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and urea
Human head hair proteins can be typed into eight distinct patterns, useful for genetic and forensic investigations.
research Demethylation of methionine and keratin damage in human hair
Copper and iron cause keratin damage in hair by converting methionine to homocysteine.
research Electrophoretic variability in human hair: Comparative sodium dodecyl sulfate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of body and head hair proteins
Keratin proteins are consistent across different hair types from the same person.
research Inhibition of the pro-oxidant effects of benoxaprofen on poiymorpbonuclear leucocytes by retinol acetate in vitro
Retinol acetate can reduce the harmful effects of the drug benoxaprofen on white blood cells.
research Homo- and heteropolymer self-assembly of recombinant trichocytic keratins
Recombinant keratins can form useful structures for medical applications, overcoming natural keratin limitations.
research Trichothiodystrophy
Trichothiodystrophy is a condition with brittle hair and various physical and mental issues due to low sulfur in proteins.
research Tritiated Thymidine: Effect of Decomposition by Self-Radiolysis on Specificity as a Tracer for DNA Synthesis
Decomposed tritiated thymidine is less accurate for DNA tracing, and hair changes can indicate malnutrition.
research Trichothiodystrophy hair shafts display distinct ultrastructural features
Trichothiodystrophy hair is structurally abnormal with protein and organization issues.
research Deletion of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor Abrogates Genomic and Nongenomic Functions of Vitamin D
Removing part of the vitamin D receptor stops vitamin D from working properly.
research WNT Signaling in the Control of Hair Growth and Structure
The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.
research SRD5A3 Is Required for Converting Polyprenol to Dolichol and Is Mutated in a Congenital Glycosylation Disorder
Mutations in the SRD5A3 gene cause a new type of glycosylation disorder by blocking the production of a molecule necessary for protein glycosylation.
research Serotoninergic and melatoninergic systems are fully expressed in human skin
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin.
research Identification of a secreted BMP antagonist, ectodin, integrating BMP, FGF, and SHH signals from the tooth enamel knot
Ectodin integrates BMP, SHH, and FGF signals in developing ectodermal organs.
research Neurosteroid Synthesis-Mediated Regulation of GABAAReceptors: Relevance to the Ovarian Cycle and Stress
Ovarian and stress hormones can change GABA A receptors through neurosteroids.
research Sebocytes are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.
research Species Differences in Prostatic Steroid 5α-Reductases of Rat, Dog, and Human
Different animals have unique versions of the enzyme that changes testosterone into another hormone, which is important for creating effective treatments for prostate and hair loss conditions.
research Androgens Protect against Apolipoprotein E4-Induced Cognitive Deficits
Androgens can help prevent memory problems caused by apoE4.
