May 1998 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry” This study found that small proline-rich proteins modify the biomechanical properties of cornified cell envelopes in rodent forestomachs, potentially affecting the tissue's ability to withstand mechanical stress.
January 2025 in “Open University of Cape Town (University of Cape Town)” This study found that lipids are highly correlated with hair curvature while proteins are not, reporting the largest number of hair lipids and identifying novel proteins and chaperones relating to different hair types for the first time.
