L-cysteine and ultrasound successfully improved rabbit hair fibers for industrial use.
research Carbonylation of hair proteins: A robust biomarker of molecular and structural oxidative damage in hair fibres
Protein carbonylation is a sensitive marker for oxidative damage in hair, especially from light exposure.
research Mechanism of Laccase-assisted Tyrosine Grafting on Keratin using BSA as a Model Protein
New hair perming method using tyrosine is gentler and can be done with a blow-dryer.
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 The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Identification of the keratin-associated protein 13-3 (KAP13-3) gene in sheep
The KAP13-3 gene in sheep affects wool quality by influencing keratin assembly.
research Chemical modification of keratin fibers using 2‐iminothiorane hydrochloride
2-iminothiorane hydrochloride improves hair waving permanence without damage.
research Effect of equilibrium pH on the structure and properties of bleach‐damaged human hair fibers
Hair's structure and properties change with pH; acidic pH maintains strength and less swelling, while alkaline pH increases water content and swelling.
research Two-dimensional electrophoretic analysis of human hair keratins, especially hair matrix proteins
The method effectively analyzes human hair proteins, especially nonfilamentous ones.
research Structural optimization of pep7, a small peptide extracted from epimorphin, for effective induction of hair follicle anagen
Modified pep7, named EPM peptide, effectively promotes hair growth at low concentrations and works well with minoxidil.
research Preparation of Water Soluble Wool Keratin and Its Application for Human Hair
Water-soluble wool keratin can protect human hair from damage during treatments.
research Thiol/disulfide homeostasis in patients with telogen effluvium: is oxidative stress important in the pathogenesis of telogen effluvium?
Oxidative stress is likely important in causing telogen effluvium, and antioxidants might help treat it.
research Characterization of hair lipid and protein dynamics using EPR spectroscopy and treatment effects
Hair treatments and dehydration affect hair's lipid and protein behavior, influencing its flexibility and appearance.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Cosmetic procedures can harm hair, but damage can be minimized with knowledge and care; however, once hair is damaged, it cannot be reliably repaired.
research Preparation and Characterization of Soluble Wool Keratin for Human Hair Care
CMADK reduces hair damage from bleaching and permanent waving.
research Investigation of plasma thiol/disulfide balance in male patients with androgenetic alopecia
Thiol/disulfide balance is normal in male AGA patients but shifts towards oxidative stress with emotional stress and low vitamin D.
research Crystallin Fusion Proteins Improve the Thermal Properties of Hair
Fusion proteins can protect hair from heat damage.
research Hair as an Index of Protein Malnutrition
Hair cystine levels may indicate protein malnutrition, but more research is needed.
research Mechanical and biological properties of keratose biomaterials
Keratose, derived from human hair, is a non-toxic biomaterial good for tissue regeneration and integrates well with body tissues.
research Protein Kinase C as a Therapeutic Target
Protein Kinase C shows promise for cancer treatment, but more research is needed to develop effective inhibitors.
research Nutrition and hair
Certain groups may need vitamin supplements to improve hair health and prevent other health problems.
research Role of Oxidative Stress in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Oxidative stress is a key factor in the development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and weight management can improve symptoms.
research The proteomics of keratin proteins
Modern techniques have improved the understanding of keratin proteins, revealing their roles in various cells and potential in disease diagnosis.
research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Characterization of the Human Hair Keratin–Associated Protein 2 (KRTAP2) Gene Family
KRTAP2 genes are crucial for hair structure and may impact hair disorders and treatments.
research Changing the shape of hair with keratin peptides
