150-180 / 1000+ results research Penetration of different molecular weight hydrolysed keratins into hair fibres and their effects on the physical properties of textured hair
Different sizes of keratin peptides can strengthen hair, with smaller ones possibly increasing volume and larger ones repairing damage.
research Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins
The document concludes that cosmetics need biocompatible, eco-friendly ingredients due to aging populations and demand for effective products.
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 De novo filament formation by human hair keratins K85 and K35 follows a filament development pattern distinct from cytokeratin filament networks
Human hair keratins K85 and K35 create unique filament patterns important for early hair formation.
research The G-Protein Couple Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Orchestrates Hair Follicle Homeostasis
GRK2 is essential for healthy hair follicle function, and its absence can lead to hair loss and cysts.
research Repeatable Perming via Thiol–Michael Click Reaction: Using Amide Derived from Maleic Acid and Cystine
A new perming method is less damaging to hair and works as well as traditional methods.

The new method improves protein extraction and analysis in hair, aiding biomedical and forensic work.
research K25 (K25irs1), K26 (K25irs2), K27 (K25irs3), and K28 (K25irs4) Represent the Type I Inner Root Sheath Keratins of the Human Hair Follicle
K25, K27, and K28 are found in all inner root sheath layers of hair, while K26 is only in the cuticle.
research Novel Type I Hair Keratins K39 and K40 Are the Last to be Expressed in Differentiation of the Hair: Completion of the Human Hair Keratin Catalog
K39 and K40 are the last keratins expressed in hair development, completing the hair keratin catalog.
research Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds—Revisiting the cause of a well-known disease
Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds is caused by structural defects in hair shafts due to downregulated genes and proteins.
