This review discusses the effects of protein-based cosmetics on hair properties and reports no new research findings, suggesting potential benefits for developing advanced, sustainable hair products.

This study reported advances in identifying low-abundance proteins in wool by using fractionation techniques to reduce the dominance of intermediate filament proteins, improving the understanding of the wool proteome.

This article describes the structure and components of hair cuticle cells and their intercellular junctions but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses various forensic applications of hair analysis, such as species identification and drug addiction testing, and reports no new study results.

This study found that improved protein extraction methods enhanced the resolution of hair proteins on gels, but differences in protein abundance between curly and straight Japanese women’s hair were minimal and unlikely to affect hair structure.

Researchers developed a method to identify and measure different animal hair fibers in textiles, successfully distinguishing materials like cashmere from cheaper fibers.

This study found that moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers from various animals were similar, despite different structural features, with sorbed water being more ordered than liquid water.

This review examines the histochemistry and keratinization processes of human hair, exploring the structural roles of keratin proteins, protein chains, and lipids, but offers no new results.

This review discusses the biology of hair follicles across various species and their role in fiber quality, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study identified a novel gene, hacl-1, that is specifically expressed in the hair follicles of ICR mouse skin and is associated with their active state.

This case report describes a 16-year-old with ectrodactyly-ED-clefting syndrome, where scarring alopecia with follicular involvement appeared during puberty, possibly due to anatomic hair abnormalities.

This review examines recent research on hair follicle stem cells, focusing on their maintenance, differentiation, and the potential for new follicle generation, but it reports no new experimental results.

In this study, UVB exposure was found to alter certain chemical properties of the hair shaft, such as keratin components and water content, without significantly affecting its physical morphology.

In this study, researchers observed that underhairs in domestic cats were the thinnest and shortest with regular scales, while guard hairs were the longest and thickest, having irregular scales.

This review examines the effects of various factors on the molecular and nanostructural ordering of human hair, highlighting its potential as a diagnostic material for environmental and public health monitoring, but reports no new experimental results.

This report presents the first known case of a proliferating hybrid cyst containing both epidermoid and trichilemmal components on the scrotum of a 44-year-old man.

This article reports electron microscope studies on the structure of hair and wool, but it does not present new clinical findings.

This study found that permanent wave lotion I extracts proteins from human hair, with molecular weights ranging from 5,000 to 65,000, which may elucidate hair damage mechanisms.

This article discusses the structure and protective function of pangolin scales, emphasizing their composition of α-keratins and β-keratins, and highlights evolutionary keratin diversification in tetrapods; it reports no new empirical findings.

This review summarizes the anatomical and physiological aspects of human hair and its clinical significance, but does not report new research findings.

This review discusses the role of keratins in maintaining epidermal structure and function and reports no new results; the authors emphasize the lack of rational therapies for skin disorders linked to keratin mutations.

This study found that Phaeodactylum tricornutum extract enhanced hair follicle cell proliferation, indicated by increased keratin and ERK1/2 signaling, suggesting its potential for hair care applications.

This study found that the extent of reducing agents' effects on hair fibers was linked to the electrode potential of the reagents used.

In this study, researchers observed that graded calorie restriction in mice led to changes in stable isotope ratios and elemental content in bone collagen and hair keratin, potentially indicating intensified mobilization of endogenous proteins and altered bone collagen structure with increased dietary stress.

This study found that the stability of the coiled-coil structure in human hair keratin is maintained by ion-pairing and hydrophobic interactions, which are disrupted as pH approaches 7.0.

This study identified numerous size polymorphisms in the human ultrahigh sulfur KAP4 genes due to intragenic sequence variations, suggesting these polymorphisms may have arisen through deletions and duplications during evolution.

This study reported that using 2D solid-state NMR techniques on extensively labeled mouse fur improves resolution in detecting chemical shifts and secondary structure features, potentially aiding the analysis of the effects of commercial or therapeutic treatments on specific amino acids.

This study revealed that human keratin-associated protein genes are expressed in specific patterns in hair fiber regions and vary in size, with some variations distinct across different populations.

This study observed that genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP22-1 gene is linked to increased wool yield and decreased fiber curvature in sheep, indicating its potential use in breeding programs.

This study suggests that adjusting the ratios of keratin-associated proteins to keratin intermediate filaments can create keratin/chitosan hydrogels with more consistent gel properties for tissue engineering.
