October 1997 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry” This study suggests that trichohyalin is modified by peptidyl-arginine deiminase before being cross-linked by TGase 3, allowing the formation of rigid structures in hair follicle cells.
January 2012 in “RepositóriUM (Universidade do Minho)” This study reported that a modified nanoprecipitation protocol can effectively create PLA nanoparticles capable of delivering compounds into hair follicles, with promising potential for hair follicle therapy and cosmetic applications.
May 2026 in “ACS Catalysis” In this study, researchers using QM/MM simulations identified key molecular motions and residue interactions in the enzyme SRD5A2 that significantly influence its catalytic efficiency, demonstrating that specific residues play critical roles in stabilizing transition states and reducing activation barriers.
