660-690 / 1000+ results research The Enzymic Derivation of Citrulline Residues from Arginine Residues In Situ during the Biosynthesis of Hair Proteins that are Cross-Linked by Isopeptide Bonds
Hair follicles have an enzyme that converts arginine to citrulline in proteins.
research The transdermal inhibition of melanogenesis by a cell-membrane-permeable peptide delivery system based on poly-arginine
A new skin-whitening agent using a peptide from wheat is safe and effective at reducing skin pigmentation.
research Molecular characterization of xerosis cutis: A systematic review
It's unclear which molecules best characterize dry skin due to inconsistent findings.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Protein Kinase C Epsilon Signals Ultraviolet Light-induced Cutaneous Damage and Development of Squamous Cell Carcinoma Possibly Through Induction of Specific Cytokines in a Paracrine Mechanism¶
Protein kinase C epsilon may increase skin cancer risk by affecting nearby cells.
research Interaction between stem cell factor and endothelin-1: effects on melanogenesis in human skin xenografts
SCF and ET-1 together significantly increase skin pigmentation and melanin production.
research Exogenous and endogenous lipids of human hair
Removing external lipids from hair reduces moisture and increases strength, while removing internal lipids decreases water permeability.
research Effect of Ultraviolet Radiation, Smoking and Nutrition on Hair
Ultraviolet rays damage hair, smoking may cause hair loss, and good nutrition is important for hair health, but genetics mainly decide hair thickness.
research Dose–hair concentration relationship and pigmentation effects in patients on low-dose clozapine
Clozapine levels in hair reflect dosage and bind more to pigmented hair.
research Can dermal delivery of therapeutics be improved using thermoresponsive nanogels?
Thermoresponsive nanogels show promise for delivering medicine through the skin but need more safety testing and regulatory approval before clinical use.
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 Human Hairless Protein Roles in Skin/Hair and Emerging Connections to Brain and Other Cancers
The hairless protein is important for skin, hair, and may influence cancer development.
research An Overview of the Biology of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Microneedling as Potential Treatments for Alopecia Areata
Platelet-rich plasma and microneedling could potentially help hair growth in people with alopecia areata, but more research is needed.
research Isolation and characterization of genomic clones of human sequences presumably coding for hair cysteine-rich proteins
A new protein linked to hair strength was identified, aiding in understanding brittle hair conditions.
research Bio-macromolecules/modified-halloysite composite hydrogel used as multi-functional wound dressing
The new hydrogel is good for wound dressing because it absorbs water quickly, has high porosity, can release drugs, fights bacteria, and helps wounds heal with less scarring.
research Crystallin Fusion Proteins Improve the Thermal Properties of Hair
Fusion proteins can protect hair from heat damage.
research External lipid function in ethnic hairs
African hair has the most lipids, while Caucasian hair is more hydrated and stronger.
research Expression of novel keratin associated protein 5 genes in the cuticle layer of human hair follicles
The study found nine new hair protein genes in human hair follicles.
research The Mammalian Hairless Protein as a DNA Binding Phosphoprotein
The Hr protein binds to DNA, interacts with p53, and affects cell cycle genes.
research Concentration homeostasis and elements in hair and dried serum observed by X-ray fluorescence analysis using synchrotron radiation
Hair analysis can help diagnose cell ion channel activity and calcium deficiency.
research Effects of ultraviolet B radiation on physicochemical properties of human hair shaft
UVB radiation changes the chemical makeup and dries out human hair but doesn't alter its appearance or texture.
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 Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research Perspectives and Challenges of Hair Analysis
Hair is a complex organ, and understanding its detailed structure and growth phases is crucial for analyzing substances within it.
research Estro-progestogen combinations: Effect on sex Steroid Binding Protein (SBP) synthesis
Certain hormone treatments can increase SBP levels and help with mild body hair growth.
research Longitudinal association between saliva and hair cortisol concentration: A systematic comparison
Hair cortisol is a reliable marker of long-term cortisol levels and is linked to daytime saliva cortisol but not morning levels.
research Failure of Fresh Plasma in Leiner Disease
Fresh plasma transfusions did not help treat Leiner disease in an infant.
research Patient Care
The Beverly Hills Diet is unhealthy and can cause serious health issues; pharmacists should advise against it and asthmatics should avoid nonprescription antihistamines.
research Assessment of Intestinal Free Fatty Acid Binding Protein 4 in Alopecia Areata Patients
Higher FABP4 levels may indicate more severe alopecia areata.
