990-1000 / 1000+ resultsresearch Conformational differences in protein disulfide linkages between normal hair and hair from subjects with trichothiodystrophy: A quantitative analysis by Raman microspectroscopy
TTD hair is brittle due to fewer sulfur amino acids and unstable disulfide bonds.
research [Trichothiodystrophy: a morphological and biochemical study].
Trichothiodystrophy involves brittle hair due to low sulfur amino acids, not a transport defect.
research In utero Diagnosis of Trichothiodystrophy by Endoscopically-Guided Fetal Eyebrow Biopsy
Prenatal diagnosis of trichothiodystrophy is possible in the second trimester using fetal eyebrow biopsy, with sulfur content analysis being more reliable.
research Metal doped keratin film standard for LA-ICP-MS determination of lead in hair samples
A new method accurately measures lead levels in hair to assess exposure.
research Copper and calcium uptake in colored hair
Hair coloring increases copper and calcium uptake, damaging hair and reducing shine.
research Giant Axonal Degeneration: Scanning Electron Microscopic and Biochemical Study of Scalp Hair
The patient's hair had unique damage and a lower sulfur-to-nitrogen ratio compared to relatives, but not compared to healthy controls.
research Recent advances in X-ray microanalysis in dermatology.
Trace elements like calcium, iron, and zinc are unevenly distributed in hair, while sulfur is even, and increased phosphorus and potassium levels are linked to skin reactions.
research Characterization of tiger tail banding and hair shaft abnormalities in trichothiodystrophy
Tiger tail banding and hair abnormalities are reliable indicators for diagnosing trichothiodystrophy.
research Silicon in hair loss: a preliminary SEM microanalysis study
The study suggests silicon might be important for healthy hair, as less silicon was found in people with hair loss.
