5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Wool fiber curvature is correlated with abundance of K38 and specific keratin‐associated proteins
This study found that straight crimp mutant wool differs from crimpy wool in the layout of cortical cells and the relative proportions of keratin and keratin-associated proteins.
research Location of keratin-associated proteins in developing fiber cuticle cells using immunoelectron microscopy
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 Moisture sorption/desorption of protein fibres
This study found that lipid extraction increased water diffusion in wool and hair fibers; the effect was more pronounced in hair, indicating lipids are crucial for water permeability.
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.

5 / 635 resultscommunity Vegan Protein Powder Make Loss Worse?
A user is experiencing genetic hair loss and is using spironolactone and minoxidil without success. They are considering switching to vegan protein powder due to digestive issues and are concerned if it will worsen hair loss.
community Am I a super non-responder? I have tried everything. The journey is in the body text..
A 24-year-old male has been struggling with hair loss since 2020, trying treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, PRP, vitamins, proteins, and exosomes, but hasn't seen significant improvement. He is considering a hair transplant due to the lack of results from these treatments.
community Thanks God, my hair is back from dead.
The user experienced significant hair regrowth using a topical solution of minoxidil 5% and finasteride 0.1% over 100 days, with plans to continue for a year before switching to a maintenance dose. Despite skepticism from others about using hair fibers, the user insists on the authenticity of their progress and reports no side effects from the treatment.
community Is 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) good for human hair?
Topical 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) regrows hair in mice almost as well as 2% Minoxidil. However, 2dDR may contribute to oxidative stress and hair loss due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
community Minoxidil + Gym + Cutting. Is it bad?
A user is concerned about weight loss stagnation while using minoxidil and finasteride during a calorie-cutting diet. Responses suggest water retention or a weight loss plateau as possible causes.
