This review discusses the historical and current use of ribosome-inactivating protein-expressing plants in traditional medicine across various cultures and regions, highlighting their role despite a lack of scientific validation.

This study found that a cocktail of three proteins from embryonic skin can enable adult fibroblasts to regenerate hair follicles by altering gene expression and activating regenerative signaling pathways.

Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.

This study identified two high sulfur protein genes, B2E and B2F, in rats, which are expressed in hair cortical cells during anagen and contribute to hair fiber production.

This study found that topical application of mitochondrial electron transport chain inhibitors stimulated hair follicle stem cell activation and hair regrowth in aged mice by promoting lactate production.

This study observed that the OCIAD2 and DCN genes in Liaoning cashmere goats have opposite effects on hair growth by interacting with the TGF-β signaling pathway, influencing follicle morphogenesis and periodic changes.

This study reported that recombinant sonic hedgehog proteins can promote hair growth by activating hair-related genes and signaling pathways, suggesting potential as a therapeutic agent in mice.

This study found that specific immune cell phenotypes, particularly CD25 on CD4 Treg cells, were causally linked to androgenic alopecia, suggesting potential targets for immune-based therapies.

This paper reviews the benefits of using silk proteins as natural ingredients in cosmetics, highlighting their potential for improving skin and hair health due to properties like antimicrobial activity, UV resistance, and enhanced moisture absorption.

This study found that glycated proteins in untreated scalp hair may serve as a non-invasive marker for blood glucose control, but its applicability is limited by factors like cosmetic treatments and sample collection challenges.

This study found that keratin-associated proteins related to metallothionein and occludin appear in various animals, suggesting they may have roles beyond hair characteristics and were later adapted for hair production.
