A new protein linked to hair strength was identified, aiding in understanding brittle hair conditions.

Two specific genes are more active during hair growth in mice.

The N gene affects the protein makeup of mouse hair.

Hair follicles have unique proteins that vary by species and are influenced by nutrition.

New treatments for PCOS show promise, but no current medication treats all aspects of the condition.

Grafted human scalp samples on mice can produce human hair, useful for studying hair genetics.

Changing disulfide bonds in human hair affects its melting behavior and thermal stability.

Hair is mostly made of three protein types: helical, high-sulfur, and high-tyrosine.

Hair can be straightened using different chemicals, not just strong alkali.

A 7-year-old girl was diagnosed with trichothiodystrophy due to low sulfur levels in her hair.

Disulfide bonds affect the melting behavior of hair's crystalline structure, but hair retains some stability even after these bonds are broken.

The outer layer of Merino wool is rich in sulfur proteins, making it resistant to damage.

Culturing hair follicles at the air-liquid interface with minoxidil significantly boosts hair growth and preserves the root sheath.

L-cystine and vitamin B6 at high doses prevented hair loss in mice treated with a chemotherapy drug.

A new method accurately measures amino acids in treated hair, showing bleaching reduces amino acids while protein treatments increase them.

Giving high-quality protein or methionine supplements helps improve hair growth in Angora goats and, to a lesser extent, in Cashmere goats.

Human hair proteins, especially keratins, can protect cells from oxidative stress in lab settings.

A new hydrogel made from human hair keratin can help regenerate skin and fight bacteria.

The research developed a human hair keratin and silver ion hydrogel that could help heal wounds.

Human hair proteins have similar cysteine and glycine levels to skin proteins.

Nucleophilic reagents break down hair keratin, forming more lanthionine and lysinoalanine than in wool.

L-arginine, hydrolysed keratin, and cystine-silanol copolymer can help protect hair from damage during and after bleaching.

Understanding how keratin structures in hair are arranged and interact is key for creating methods to extract and purify them.

Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair structure during keratinization.

Hair and follicle keratins differ in structure and expression, especially in cysteine content.

The study found no common cause for a girl's crystalline cataract and uncombable hair, suggesting their co-occurrence might be coincidental.

Budesonide and N-acetylcysteine reduced tumors and alopecia in mice, regardless of FHIT gene status.

Changing the diet of mice lacking the enzyme CBS can affect symptoms related to the genetic condition.

After chemotherapy for early breast cancer, 33.4% of patients had long-term significant hair loss, with some hair regrowth over time, but treatments for hair loss were largely ineffective.
