The research found that people's hair proteins vary by individual and body part, with some differences between ethnic groups, which could help in forensics.

The document concludes that the human keratin gene cluster is complex, with a need for updated naming to reflect over 50 functional genes important for hair and skin biology.

Recombinant keratin materials may better promote skin cell differentiation than natural keratin.

Hard skin features like scales, feathers, and hair evolved through specific protein changes in different animal groups.

Bleaching hair damages protein structure, especially keratin, leading to weakened hair.

PDI helps restore over-bleached hair's strength and structure by attaching special peptides.

Hair keratins evolved from ancient proteins, diversifying through gene changes, crucial for forming claws and later hair in mammals.

Different combinations of human hair keratins affect how hair fibers form.

Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.

Hair protein analysis might help identify a person's ethnicity, sex, and age in forensics.

George Ernest Rogers was a notable scientist who made important discoveries about hair and wool proteins.

New treatments targeting specific genes show promise for treating keratin disorders.

PGA-4HGF may help treat hair loss by activating hair growth pathways and extending the hair growth phase.

The study found specific proteins that could mark different growth stages of cashmere goat hair and may help improve cashmere production.

KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.

Bleaching hair changes its structure and weakens it, which is important for understanding hair damage and creating treatments.

A specific mutation in the K25 gene causes a rare genetic disorder with curly hair at birth and later hair loss, along with dental issues.

Keratin from hair and wool is used in medical materials for healing and drug delivery.

The document concludes that understanding hair's composition and the effects of treatments can lead to better hair care products.

A variant in the KRT31 gene causes a rare hereditary hair disorder called monilethrix.
