Different hair types in mammals are linked to variations in specific protein genes, with changes influenced by their living environments.

The workshop discussed the role of a protein called calreticulin in health and disease, its potential as a treatment target, and its possible use as a disease marker.

The KRTAP21-2 gene affects wool length and quality in sheep.

Environmental factors can cause mutations in skin proteins, leading to skin disorders.

Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.

The balance of thiol-disulfide in women with hair loss is affected but not damaged.

Permanent wave treatment with thioglycolic acid changes hair structure by altering disulfide bonds.

Thiol/disulfide balance is normal in male AGA patients but shifts towards oxidative stress with emotional stress and low vitamin D.

Oxidative stress is likely important in causing telogen effluvium, and antioxidants might help treat it.

Selenium disulfide shampoo effectively reduces dandruff and is well-liked by users.

Using selenium disulfide on guinea pigs increased hair loss.

Disulfide bonds make keratin in hair stronger and tougher.

Potassium cyanide treatment changes hair's disulfide bonds, making it more elastic.

Alkylation of human hair keratin allows for adjustable drug release rates in hydrogels for medical use.

Hair is hard to dissolve because of its complex proteins, but certain solvents that break specific bonds and hydrate can do it.

Bleaching hair causes significant damage by breaking down proteins and fatty acids.

The study found that thioglycolic acid breaks down hair bonds more consistently than l-cysteine, which is less damaging to hair.

2-iminothiorane hydrochloride improves hair waving permanence without damage.

Recombinant keratins can form useful structures for medical applications, overcoming natural keratin limitations.

UV radiation increases protein loss from hair and reduces hair protein quality.

Hair coloring increases copper and calcium uptake, damaging hair and reducing shine.

L-phenylalanine and hydrolyzed eggwhite protein deeply penetrate human hair.

Stretching damages Caucasian hair's structure more easily than Asian hair.

Modified pep7, named EPM peptide, effectively promotes hair growth at low concentrations and works well with minoxidil.

Bleaching hair increases cysteic acid levels in a predictable way.

Researchers found that the most reachable bonds in wool fibers are near the ends of certain proteins, which help stabilize the fiber's structure.

Understanding how keratin structures in hair are arranged and interact is key for creating methods to extract and purify them.

The study found nine new hair protein genes in human hair follicles.

Chemical treatments on bleached black hair change its internal structure by breaking and reforming bonds, and treatments with hydrolyzed eggwhite protein help repair it.

Alkaline hair relaxers damage hair, but cationic and non-ionic polymers can help reduce this damage.
