research Repair of damaged hair protein fiber by jointly using transglutaminase and keratin
In this study, combined treatment with transglutaminase and keratin significantly repaired damaged hair by improving its structural properties, reducing swelling, and enhancing crosslink activities, as evidenced by microscopy and spectroscopy analyses.
research Carbonylation of hair proteins: A robust biomarker of molecular and structural oxidative damage in hair fibres
This research studied European human hair, finding that cysteic acid and protein carbonylation increased with both chemical and photochemical oxidation. Protein carbonylation was highlighted as a more sensitive marker for photochemical oxidation, providing better in situ visualization of hair damage than cysteic acid.
research A detailed mapping of the readily accessible disulphide bonds in the cortex of wool fibres
This study provides insight into the specific disulfide bond interactions between keratins and keratin associated proteins, suggesting non-random cysteine interactions crucial for stabilizing hair fiber structure.
research The susceptibility of disulfide bonds to modification in keratin fibers undergoing tensile stress
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.

5 / 632 resultscommunity Hi-c5 protein, explains why the mechanical tension theory may be correct.
Hair loss may be influenced by mechanical tension and inflammation, with the hi-c5 protein amplifying androgen effects, leading to follicle miniaturization. Treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massages are suggested to manage hair loss.
community Published in Nature: Osteopontin, a protein involved in the growth of hair on moles could be the key to our troubles.
Osteopontin, a protein involved in hair growth on moles, may help with hair loss. However, it is also linked to Alzheimer's, cancer, and bone development, so caution is advised.
community Essential Insights into Hair Loss: What You Should Know Early
Hair loss can be managed by acting early, using treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and possibly dutasteride, along with lifestyle changes such as using sulfate-free shampoos and eating protein-rich foods. Consulting a dermatologist and considering microneedling, vitamins, and anti-fungal shampoos are also recommended.
community Hey med experts explain this please??
Finasteride, dutasteride, saw palmetto, caffeine, spironolactone, acetyltetrapeptides, tea tree oil, hydrocortisone, zinc pyrithione, latanoprost, melatonin, marine protein supplements, PRP, microneedling, and valproate are discussed as treatments for hair loss. DHT reduction and inflammation control are key strategies.
community DHT Isn’t the Only Factor in Hair Loss and That Might Be the Key to a Real Cure
Hair loss involves more than just DHT, with genetic factors like TRPS affecting hair follicles. Treatments such as Amplifica's AMP-601 and AMP-303 target stem cells for potential hair growth solutions.
