Research cited in this study
8 / 8 resultsresearch Lamellar Ichthyosis, Dwarfism, Mental Retardation, and Hair Shaft Abnormalities
This case study describes a young woman with a unique syndrome combining lamellar ichthyosis, neuroectodermal and mesodermal defects, and hair with trichoschisis and low sulfur content.
research Formation of the Iε-(γ-Glutamyl)Lysine Crosslink in Hair Proteins: Investigation of Transamidases in Hair Follicles
This study investigated the formation of a specific chemical crosslink in hair proteins and explored the role of transamidase enzymes in hair follicles.
research Iε-(γ-Glutamyl) Lysine Cross-Linkage in Citrulline-Containing Protein Fractions From Hair
Specific cross-linkages help make hair proteins stable and strong.
research A Congenital Hair Defect: Trichoschisis With Alternating Birefringence and Low Sulfur Content
research Degradation Of Human Hair By Papain
This study found that papain/bisulfite disintegrates human hair cuticles by dissolving the endocuticle, potentially accelerated by ethanol's removal of cell membrane material.
research The Localization And Significance Of Arginine And Citrulline In Proteins Of The Hair Follicle
In this study, researchers localized arginine and citrulline in rat hair follicles and found that arginine is abundant in trichohyalin droplets, while citrulline predominantly accumulates in the hardened inner sheath and medulla.
research Electron Microscope Studies of Hair and Wool
This article reports electron microscope studies on the structure of hair and wool, but it does not present new clinical findings.
research Content of Citrulline and Other Amino Acids in Hair Follicle Protein
This study reported the first known occurrence of citrulline in an animal protein, specifically in the fibrous protein of hair follicle inner root sheaths.
