Brazilian keratin treatments can straighten hair but may contain harmful formaldehyde.
research Convergent Evolution of Cysteine-Rich Keratins in Hard Skin Appendages of Terrestrial Vertebrates
Cysteine-rich keratins evolved independently in mammals, reptiles, and birds for hard skin structures like hair, claws, and feathers.
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 PBX homeobox 1 enhances hair follicle mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and reprogramming through activation of the AKT/glycogen synthase kinase signaling pathway and suppression of apoptosis
PBX1 helps hair stem cells grow and change by turning on certain cell signals and preventing cell death, which may be useful for hair regrowth treatments.
research Genetic variants in pachyonychia congenita-associated keratins increase susceptibility to tooth decay
Certain genetic variants in keratins increase the risk of tooth decay.
research Association analysis of polymorphisms in six keratin genes with wool traits in sheep
Certain gene mutations are linked to wool quality in sheep and could help in breeding for better wool.
research Solid state NMR of isotope labelled murine fur: a powerful tool to study atomic level keratin structure and treatment effects
Solid-state NMR can effectively study keratin structure and treatment effects in fur.
research pH Dependence of the Coiled-Coil Structure of Keratin Intermediate Filament in Human Hair by 13C NMR Spectroscopy and the Mechanism of Its Disruption
Keratin structure in hair is stable at pH 5-6 but disrupts between pH 6-7.
research Predictive design framework for electrospun pectin nanofibers in biomedical applications
Pectin nanofibers show promise for medical use due to their unique properties.
research Exploring the effects of wetting and free fatty acid deposition on an atomistic hair fiber surface model incorporating Keratin Associated Protein 5-1
Water and fatty acids affect hair's surface differently based on hair damage, and models can help understand hair-cosmetic interactions.
research A study on common clinical pattern of presentation of skin and hair changes in nutritional deficiencies associated with dietary fallacies in children 1 to 5 years of age
Poor nutrition in young children causes skin and hair issues, highlighting the need for better nutrition education.
research The 5alpha-reductase type 1, but not type 2, gene is expressed in anagen hairs plucked from the vertex area of the scalp of hirsute women and normal individuals
The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.
research Induction of Hair Keratins Expression by an Annurca Apple-Based Nutraceutical Formulation in Human Follicular Cells
An apple-based supplement was found to stimulate hair protein production, which may help with hair growth.
research Alopecia in a Viable Phospholipase C Delta 1 and Phospholipase C Delta 3 Double Mutant
Mutations in Plcd1 and Plcd3 together cause severe hair loss in mice.
research 14. Wound Healing; Cutaneous Therapy; Hair
A device was made in 2008 to measure hair loss severity. Other findings include: frizzy mutation in mice isn't related to Fgfr2, C/EBPx marks preadipocytes, Cyclosporin A speeds up hair growth in mice, blocking plasmin and metalloproteinases hinders healing, hyperbaric oxygen helps ischemic wound healing, amniotic membranes heal wounds better than polyurethane foam, rhVEGF165 from a fibrin matrix improves tissue flap viability and induces VEGF-R2 expression, and bFGF enhances wound healing and reduces scarring in rabbits.
research Biomaterials for dermal substitutes
The document concludes that a complete skin restoration biomaterial does not yet exist, and more clinical trials are needed to ensure these therapies are safe and effective.
