research Understanding the biochemical properties of human hair keratins : self-assembly potential and cell response

January 2020

This Ph.D. project aims to evaluate the self-assembling potential of hair keratin extracts and study the cellular response to both crude and purified keratins, highlighting their potential applications from biomedical to water remediation.

research Self-Assembly of Solubilized Human Hair Keratins

7 citations , December 2020 in “ACS biomaterials science & engineering”

In this study, researchers demonstrated that human hair keratins can self-assemble into stable nanofibrous networks in vitro, which are compatible with human skin cells and useful for regenerative applications.

research cDNA Cloning, Expression, and Assembly Characteristics of Mouse Keratin 16

32 citations , November 1998 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry”

This study found that the unique functions of keratin 16 are likely determined by its tail domain, challenging the previous hypothesis about the role of the helix 1B subdomain.

research In Vitro Assembly and Structure of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments

91 citations , December 2000 in “The journal of cell biology/The Journal of cell biology”

This study reports that expressed mouse type Ia and type IIa trichocyte keratins were successfully assembled into intermediate filaments in vitro, while also suggesting that disulfide bond cross linking enhances their stability.

research Assembly of Hair Keratins in Transfected Epithelial Cells

5 citations , December 1996 in “Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications”

In this study, keratin genes mHa1 and mHb4 were unable to form an extensive keratin network in one cell line, altering endogenous keratin distribution, but showed better integration in another cell line.

learn Keratin

What role does keratin play in strengthening weak or thinning hair? Keratin strengthens hair by forming protective structures that prevent breakage and thinning.
Are keratin treatments good for people with alopecia, or do they only improve the hair’s appearance? Keratin treatments improve hair appearance but do not address alopecia or stimulate growth.
Is keratin in shampoos and conditioners actually absorbed by the hair, or does it just coat the surface? Keratin in shampoos mainly coats the hair rather than being absorbed.

community Keratin fibers vs. Gossypium Herbaceum Hair fibers

1 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation is about comparing keratin hair fibers to Gossypium Herbaceum hair fibers for diffuse hair loss. The user prefers keratin fibers for their durability and is seeking a bulk purchase option.

community Keratin microspheres - breakthrough

14 upvotes 2 years ago

A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.

community Is keratin fusion bond good alternative to clip on hair patch for diffused thinners

4 upvotes 3 years ago

Keratin fusion bonds are discussed as an alternative to clip-on hair patches for men with diffused thinning. The conversation explores different styling options for hair loss.

community Let's talk keratin products and hair loss

2 upvotes 11 months ago

OP is considering using a keratin gel to improve hair quality and is concerned about its safety and visual impact on a slightly balding crown. Users discuss shampoo frequency, with some suggesting less frequent use for better hair health, but OP prefers regular shampoo and conditioner for silky hair.

community Looking to bulk buy keratin fibers

3 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation is about finding a cost-effective way to purchase keratin fibers, specifically Toppik, without damaging the scalp. The user is not interested in regrowing or maintaining hair but wants to avoid harmful ingredients.
