5 / 157 resultsresearch 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 Ultrastructural Localization of S100A3, a Cysteine-rich, Calcium Binding Protein, in Human Scalp Hair Shafts Revealed by Rapid-freezing Immunocytochemistry
In this study, the researchers identified the specific subcellular localization of the protein S100A3 in the endocuticle and cortex of human hair shafts.
research An Electron Microscopy Study of Keratin Degradation by the Fungus Microsporum gypseum in vitro
This study found that the fungus Microsporum gypseum enzymatically degrades keratin in human hair, with the sequence of degradation reflecting the keratinization and cystine content of individual hair components in vitro.
research Generalized trichorrhexis nodosa
This study describes a case of generalized trichorrhexis nodosa and finds that defects in alpha-keratin chain formation and low cystine levels in hair may contribute to the condition.
