600-630 / 1000+ resultsresearch The walking dead: sequential nuclear and organelle destruction during hair development
Hair cells lose their nucleus and mitochondria in a specific order as they fill with keratin, which could help develop treatments for hair issues.
research Human Hair Keratins.
research 1430 Autophagy controls the protein composition of hair shafts
Autophagy is important for determining the protein makeup of hair.
research Biochemical examination of fetal skin biopsy specimens obtained by fetoscopy: Use of the method for analysis of keratins and filaggrin
Fetal skin biopsy can help diagnose protein-related disorders before birth.
research Mechanisms of proton inhibition and sensitization of the cation channel TRPV3
Acid can block TRPV3 from outside the cell but boost its function from inside.
research Exposure to gamma-rays at the telogen phase of the hair cycle inhibits hair follicle regeneration at the anagen phase in mice
Gamma-rays exposure during the resting phase of hair growth can damage hair regeneration and color in mice.
research Cystatin M/E Is a High Affinity Inhibitor of Cathepsin V and Cathepsin L by a Reactive Site That Is Distinct from the Legumain-binding Site
Cystatin M/E strongly inhibits cathepsin V and cathepsin L, important for skin formation.
research Development of a DNA-analytical Method for the Identification of Animal Hair Fibers in Textiles
Researchers developed a new method to identify animal hair in textiles, which is effective for various fibers and more reliable than previous methods.

research Ultrastructure study of hair damage after ultraviolet irradiation
UV treatment can damage hair, so protection is advised.
research An investigation into the action of transglutaminase on human hair
Transglutaminase does not modify human hair.
research Identification of ultraviolet B radiation-induced microRNAs in normal human dermal papilla cells
UVB radiation changes the levels of certain microRNAs in skin cells, which may affect cell survival and hair growth.
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 Assessing protein sequencing in human single hair shafts of decreasing lengths
Hair keratin proteins can be reliably identified in hair as short as 0.12 cm, with 0.5 to 2 cm being the best length for analysis.
research Marangoni effect in the water wetting of surfactant coated human hair fibers
The study found that the Marangoni effect causes the uneven wetting of surfactant-coated hair due to the surfactant moving into the water.
