research Characterisation of an Ovine Keratin Associated Protein (KAP) Gene, Which Would Produce a Protein Rich in Glycine and Tyrosine, but Lacking in Cysteine

24 citations , October 2019 in “Genes”

In this study, the identification of a novel KAP gene in sheep, named KRTAP36-1, was associated with increased prickle factor in wool, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for breeding purposes.

research Location of keratin-associated proteins in developing fiber cuticle cells using immunoelectron microscopy

10 citations , January 2010 in “International journal of trichology”

This study found that keratin-associated proteins form part of the developing exocuticle and a-layer in hair fiber cuticle cells, while cornified envelope proteins were absent.

research The susceptibility of disulfide bonds to modification in keratin fibers undergoing tensile stress

11 citations , April 2022 in “Biophysical Journal”

In this study, certain cysteine residues in Romney sheep wool fibers were labeled more often during stretching tests, particularly under wet conditions, suggesting variability in their disulfide bond contributions to fiber mechanics depending on hydration.

research ATOMISTIC CHARACTERIZATION OF HEALTHY AND DAMAGED HAIR SURFACES: A MOLECULAR DYNAMICS STUDY OF FATTY ACIDS ON PROTEIN LAYER

June 2024 in “ChemBioChem”

This study's simulations suggest that replenishing free 18‐MEA could restore damaged hair surface properties, highlighting the importance of optimal fatty acid spacing for maintaining hair integrity.

research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 2111In fond memory of Dr Peter Steinert.

62 citations , January 2004 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study identified 16 novel high sulfur KAP genes and two KAP pseudogenes on chromosome 21q23, showing expression in a specific region of the hair fiber cuticle.

community Quit vaping/smoking = 80% less loss

in Research/Science 235 upvotes 2 years ago

Quitting vaping significantly reduced hair loss for a user who was a heavy vaper and also taking finasteride. Some participants suggest nicotine's vasoconstrictive properties may worsen hair loss, while others share personal anecdotes of hair improvement after quitting smoking or vaping.
