In this study, hair samples from breast cancer patients showed increased β-sheet structures and lipid content, with spectral markers successfully identifying cancer in a blind test but also producing false positives.

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 the medulla of Japanese hair contains unsaturated lipids such as squalene and oleic acid, which may contribute to hair glossiness.

This study suggests that ATR-FT-IR spectral analysis of hair fibres may detect breast cancer through increased lipid content changes linked to cancer presence.

This review discusses the potential of using human hair proteomics for non-invasive diagnostic and forensic applications but reports no new results; the authors highlight areas needing further research.
