This study suggests that the mechanical robustness of hair may be enhanced by the binding interactions of keratin-associated proteins, particularly KAP8.1, with intermediate filament proteins.

This study found that 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane penetrates hair fibers and improves the mechanical resistance of dry hair, addressing the needs for increased body in fine hair.

In this study, researchers observed that using an Avena strigosa seed extract on chemically damaged hair significantly improved hair properties, including strength, gloss, and surface quality, by reinforcing keratin bonding and sealing cuticle damage.

This research reports that KCV and its palmitoylated derivatives show strong effectiveness in strengthening hair proteins, indicating their potential for use in advanced hair care products.

This study found that anti-keratin antibody from immunized cow milk increases the resistance of damaged hair to stretching and inhibits fracture from excessive brushing.

This study found that low-molecular-weight hyaluronate significantly improved the mechanical strength and elastic modulus of overbleached hair by enhancing hydrogen bond networks within keratin.

This study found that the internal structure and fracture patterns of hair vary among different mammal species, which could inform the development of keratin-based biomaterials for medical and cosmetic applications.

In this study, the identification of a novel KAP gene in sheep, named KRTAP36-1, was associated with increased prickle factor in wool, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for breeding purposes.

This study found that the moisture sorption and desorption process can differentiate between cosmetic treatments of hair and provide insights into hair fibre structure changes, with bleaching causing greater symmetry breaking than perming.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome in China had elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, and suggests body weight management and SHBG and FAI testing are recommended for these women.

This study developed a degradable and bioactive citrate-based polyurethane adhesive that achieves rapid and strong tissue adhesion, exhibiting improved bonding strength in wet environments, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and hemostatic properties, with potential to enhance wound healing by promoting angiogenesis.

This study found that dyed chitin nanofibers maintain color and mechanical properties when reinforcing resins, allowing color addition and strength improvement while retaining transparency.

This study introduces the concept of teloptosis, which influences hair shedding during the telogen phase and affects hair density, highlighting that early or delayed teloptosis has noticeable effects.

This study found that serum calcium, serum ferritin, and vitamin D3 levels were lower in students with premature graying of hair compared to controls, suggesting a potential role in the condition.

This study found that modifying biphasic calcium phosphate/poly(methyl methacrylate) bone cement with human hair keratin improves its hydrophilicity, mechanical properties, and supports bone repair in rats, indicating potential for orthopedic applications.

This study found that super-enhancers in squamous cell carcinoma stem cells are distinctly different from those in normal skin stem cells, with ETS2 playing a crucial role in promoting tumor growth.

This study employed multiple linear regressions to analyze hydantoin analogues and produced a model with strong predictive abilities for designing new androgen receptor modulators.

This source reviews Japan's extensive 2014 reforms and investments in regenerative medicine, exploring the government's initiatives to accelerate stem cell research while maintaining safety and efficacy.

This study reports the crystallization of the human androgen receptor's ligand-binding domain with nonsteroidal ligands, which may aid in understanding the differences in binding compared to steroidal ligands.

This case report describes a 3-year-old male with X-linked ichthyosis and associated neurologic abnormalities, identifying an unusual cortical development malformation and suggesting that abnormal hair banding may assist diagnosis.

This letter challenges an interpretation of results from a zinc lozenge trial that suggested patient perceptions of receiving treatment might indicate effective blinding, arguing this only holds for crossover studies.

This commentary discusses challenges in maintaining proper blinding in placebo-controlled trials, illustrated by a study where zinc and placebo lozenges were nearly indistinguishable in taste by participants.

This study found that in young Taiwanese women with PCOS, low sex hormone-binding globulin levels were associated with low HDL cholesterol levels, independent of insulin resistance and obesity.

This article describes a potential novel approach to reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss by enhancing the expression of specific transporters in hair follicles, but reports no clinical results.

This study found that topically delivering KGF-1 DNA plasmid increased epithelial thickness and skin strength, suggesting potential benefits for strengthening compromised skin.

This meta-analysis found that lower serum SHBG levels are associated with an increased risk of PCOS, and improving SHBG levels through treatment may reduce PCOS complications.

This study found that the binding of finasteride to the enzyme 5a-reductase occurs at a slower rate than previously assumed, complicating the estimation of its real inhibitory constant.

This study found that older men with vertex balding had lower levels of IGFBP-3 and higher levels of IGF-1 in their plasma.

This study found that specific SHBG gene variants and haplotypes are associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting that SHBG may be a candidate gene for the condition.

This study found that older men with vertex balding have lower circulating levels of the protein IGFBP-3 and higher levels of IGF-1.
