This study found that human hair cuticle and cortex have different protein structures, with beta-sheet and disorder configurations in the cuticle and alpha-helical structures in the cortex.

This study found that permanent waving treatment partially disrupts the α-helical structure in human hair microfibrils, primarily during the initial reduction phase, rather than just affecting disulphide bonds.

This study detailed the structure and amino acid composition of sheep trichohyalin, noting its presence in various tissues and suggesting a possible functional role beyond structural support in hair follicles.

This study used proteomic techniques to analyze human hair proteins, revealing keratin heterogeneity and identifying posttranslational modifications, such as cysteine trioxidation and methylation.

This study found that alopecia areata patients with a CCHCR1 gene variant had higher recurrence rates and structural abnormalities in hair compared to those without the variant.
