Two new gene clusters important for hair formation were found on human chromosome 11.
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 Elucidating penetration pathways into the hair fiber using novel microscopic techniques.
The conclusion is that substances can penetrate hair fibers through multiple pathways, including both the cell membrane complex and the non-keratinous parts.
research Carbon-13 n.m.r. studies of keratin intermediate filament of human hair
Human hair keratin has a 40% α-helix structure that changes to a random coil in 8 M urea.
research Westwood Carolina Conference on Clinical Dermatology
The conference concluded that understanding hair and nail disorders is important, iron deficiency may be linked to hair loss, and while some treatments for skin conditions are effective, they may have risks and high costs.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
research Bidirectional binding property of high glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated protein contributes to the mechanical strength and shape of hair
High glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated proteins help make hair strong and maintain its shape.
research Relationship between Amino Acid Intake and Accretion in a Marsupial, Macropus Eugenii
Amino acid levels in milk increase with protein and align with key growth stages in Macropus eugenii.
research Isolation and Characterization of Mouse High-glycine/Tyrosine Proteins
Mouse high-glycine/tyrosine proteins have distinct patterns in hair follicles, peaking at specific hair cycle days.
research Human hair keratin-associated proteins: Sequence regularities and structural implications
Keratin-associated proteins help link filaments and affect keratin's strength.
research Raman spectroscopy and electronic microscopy structural studies of Caucasian and Afro human hair
Hair treatments cause significant structural changes, especially with excessive heat, regardless of ethnicity.
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 Simultaneous RP-HPLC-DAD determination of dansyl amino acids in chemically treated human hair
A new method accurately measures amino acids in treated hair, showing bleaching reduces amino acids while protein treatments increase them.
research Molecular evolution of the keratin associated protein gene family in mammals, role in the evolution of mammalian hair
KRTAP genes evolved early in mammals, leading to diverse hair traits.
research Influence of feed restriction on the wool proteome: A combined iTRAQ and fiber structural study
Feed restriction in sheep leads to finer wool fibers but may reduce wool quality.
research The TOR–Auxin Connection Upstream of Root Hair Growth
High energy boosts root hair growth in plants, while low energy stops it.
research A Raman spectroscopy investigation of the resilience of hair cuticular scales under uniaxial stress
Hair cuticles remain stable and resilient under stress due to strong protein content and crosslinking.
research Nutritional Management of Menopausal Women
Eating a balanced diet with specific nutrients can help manage menopause symptoms and prevent related health issues.
