This study found that while the KRTAP gene family is unique to mammals, humans have a similar number of these hair gene types as other primates despite having less body hair.

Hair and follicle keratins differ in structure and expression, especially in cysteine content.

This study found that the binding and release of BMP-2 from kerateine biomaterials are significantly influenced by pH and salt concentration, highlighting the potential for developing improved bone repair systems.

This study identified two single-nucleotide polymorphisms and three haplotypes in the KRTAP7-1 gene across yak, taurine, and zebu cattle, with the BOVIN-KRTAP7-1*A haplotype most prevalent.

In this study, hair composted with various organic materials, and inoculated with Bacillus subtilis, showed improved degradation and nutrient release, but temperatures below 33℃ limited composting efficiency, suggesting bacterial augmentation could aid sustainable management of keratin-rich waste.

This study found that cells isolated from human scalp hair follicles proliferated well in a specific culture medium and possessed keratins characteristic of hair-forming cells.

In this study, researchers identified a cluster of hair-specific keratin-associated protein genes within the 21q22.3 region, revealing a novel transcription mechanism involving TSPEAR/C21orf29 that may bypass typical transcriptional termination sites.

High temperatures and certain chemicals can significantly change the amino acid content in human hair.

This study found that, compared to oxidative treatments, reductive perm-waving more severely impacts the intermediate filaments in European human hair, while both treatments alter denaturation kinetics in a first-order manner.

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.

This study reviews the complex keratinization process in the epidermis, detailing how various factors regulate keratinocyte differentiation and emphasizing the importance of understanding this process for the pathogenesis of skin disorders like ichthyoses and psoriasis.

In this study, researchers observed that aroma oil-enhanced scalp scaling significantly improved scalp conditions over 8 weeks, marked by increased water and oil content, reduced keratin and surface value, and higher satisfaction in hair-related outcomes compared to the control group.

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

In this study, the Narasoo healing shampoo and Hair tonic were associated with improvements in scalp hydration, hair gloss, and hair growth, but further research is recommended to confirm these effects.

This study found that mutations affecting hair keratin expression on Chromosome 15 in mice may cause altered hair and skin features similar to other known mouse mutations.

This study investigated various proteins as eco-friendly hair perming agents for Asian hair and found that bovine serum albumin and keratin achieved perming results comparable to commercial products, while also increasing hair moisture, indicating a protective effect during heat styling.

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.

The researchers reported that increasing protein content in human hair keratin/calcium alginate blend films led to larger molecular aggregates, which influenced the films' physical properties such as light transmittance and tensile strength.

This study found that the newly developed hair product K-30 increased both protein content and weight in chemically damaged hair to levels similar to healthy hair, unlike traditional products that only temporarily improve texture.

In this study, researchers found that a polyphenolic extract from Annurca apples, high in procyanidin B2, increased hair growth, density, and keratin content in healthy subjects after 2 months of use, and stimulated keratin biosynthesis in vitro.

This case study reports a peculiar variant of an epidermal cyst in a patient, featuring unique characteristics like brownish, lumpy contents resembling bone marrow.

This study found that the fungus Microsporum gypseum enzymatically degrades keratin in human hair, with the sequence of degradation reflecting the keratinization and cystine content of individual hair components in vitro.

This article reviews the composition and structure of mammalian hard keratins, focusing on the filamentous and nonfilamentous protein content, and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that hydrophobic amino acids from egg white hydrolyzed protein and L-phenylalanine effectively penetrate deep into the human hair fiber, increasing specific contents in both virgin and bleached hair.

This study found that shikimic acid- and maleate-based hair repair agents modified the structure of hair fibers, though they did not increase disulfide bridge content in the hair cortex.

In this study, researchers found that higher concentrations of internal lipids in African hair may influence its keratin structure, as observed through various analytical methods.

This article reviews gaps in our understanding of molecular events in hair follicle growth, focusing on keratin synthesis and protein oxidation, but reports no new findings.

This study observed that increasing the γ-kerateine content in meta-kerateine materials led to reduced elasticity, solidity, and hydrolytic stability, and decreased hepatocyte attachment support.

This study demonstrated that imidazole-based ionic liquids, particularly [Emim]DEP, effectively dissolved yak hair keratin, maintaining its structure better than other tested solvents, and also performed well on human hair and goat wool, with consistent performance even after five recycling cycles.

This study found that digital perm treatments using sodium thioglycolate lotion led to the most significant reduction in protein content and greater hair damage compared to other methods and lotions.
