Research cited in this study
7 / 7 results
research Protein and Amino Acid Composition of Hair from Mice Carrying the Naked (N) Gene
In this study, researchers found that the naked (N) gene in mice indirectly affects the synthesis of structural proteins in mouse hair, resulting in reduced high tyrosine protein content and unusual amino acid compositions.
research Trichothiodystrophy: A Morphological and Biochemical Study
This study reports that despite normal cystine incorporation into hair follicles, trichothiodystrophy patients have decreased cystine levels in hair shafts, contradicting the hypothesis of defective transport in hair follicles.
research The Structure of Hair and Follicles of Mice Carrying the Naked (N) Gene
In this study, researchers observed that mice with the naked gene showed frequent absence of hair cuticle and cortical cells during follicle growth, with abnormal keratin deposition also noted.
research The Proteins of Normal and Aberrant Hair Keratins
This article reviews the composition and structure of mammalian hard keratins, focusing on the filamentous and nonfilamentous protein content, and reports no new experimental results.
research Trichothiodystrophy: A Study on Sulfur-Deficient Brittle Hair and Associated Symptoms
In this study, researchers examined two new cases of trichothiodystrophy and observed that the condition is linked to decreased synthesis of high-sulfur matrix proteins in hair.
research Loss of a Homologous Group of Proteins in a Dominantly Inherited Ectodermal Malformation
This study found that Naked trait mice exhibit a decrease in certain low-molecular-weight proteins in their hair, which contain high levels of glycine and tyrosine, compared to normal mice.
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.
