Lustre mutant sheep have normal hair structure and proteins but differ in felting properties.

This study found that blocking autophagy in Atg7-deficient mouse hair keratinocytes altered the molecular composition of hair shafts by increasing the abundance of proteins involved in protein turnover while keratins remained unchanged, highlighting autophagy's role in reducing non-cytoskeletal protein concentrations in hair.

In this study, researchers found that autophagy is crucial for maintaining the mature protein composition of hair shafts, with its disruption leading to increased levels of various proteins, suggesting potential diagnostic applications for detecting impaired autophagy through hair proteomic analysis.

In this study, researchers found that the naked (N) gene in mice indirectly affects the synthesis of structural proteins in mouse hair, resulting in reduced high tyrosine protein content and unusual amino acid compositions.

This study suggests that the amino acid composition of fibrous proteins in normal human hair is similar to that of stratum corneum proteins, particularly in cysteine and glycine content.

This study identified a novel keratin-associated protein, KAP24.1, which is specifically expressed in the human scalp and located in the hair cuticle.

This study found that applying the highest dose of biostimulant improved the fresh yield, leaf area, and ACO2 of hydroponically grown ‘Genovese’ basil, suggesting enhanced productivity with reduced fertilizer use.

This study demonstrates that spatially resolved IR and Raman imaging can effectively reveal the molecular structure and composition of untreated human hair, providing insights into its chemistry and structural integrity.

This study concluded that GLCAT14A-C genes are crucial for the function of glucuronic acid transfer to AGPs in Arabidopsis, affecting various growth and reproductive traits such as seed germination and root hair growth.

This study reported that depleting the pro-apoptotic protein Bax in hair follicle stem cells enables these cells to kill nearby viable cells by sequestering TNFα, which increases the stem cell pool and accelerates tissue regeneration, suggesting potential implications for therapies targeting tissue repair and cancer.

In this review paper, the authors explored the composition and role of lipids in human hair, highlighting their importance for hair texture, moisture retention, and tensile strength, while noting that the understanding of hair lipids' functions remains controversial and requires further research.

This study found that Cerasus serrulata extracts, when obtained through specific methods, demonstrate significant antioxidative and antibacterial properties, as well as potential anti-alopecia effects in a mouse model, potentially making them useful supplements for these purposes.

This study proposes a new method to selectively isolate keratin-associated proteins and keratin from human hair, suggesting that KAPs may support keratin fibers in hair structure.

This study found that treating human hair with vitamin E and γ-oryzanol significantly reduced UV-B-induced structural damage, with γ-oryzanol providing greater protection, especially in female hair samples. The findings highlight these compounds' potential as cost-effective solutions for preserving hair integrity against UV damage.

This study found that in Chinese goat breeds, specific genetic variations, particularly in Tibetan Cashmere goats, are associated with traits like hair growth and adaptation to high-altitude environments.

In this preclinical study, researchers found that combining equal ratios of high molecular weight keratin intermediate filaments and low molecular weight keratin-associated proteins from human hair led to the most extensive fibrinogen precipitation, suggesting potential for developing effective hair protein-based hemostatic materials.

This study found that while both natural and bioengineered salivary glands showed similar protein concentrations in response to taste stimulation, their protein compositions and amylase concentrations differed, which may affect nerve signal balance.

In this study, researchers observed that even a single session of hair dyeing can damage hair fibers, with significant worsening of mechanical properties and protein composition after three or more consecutive treatments, emphasizing the need to consider the cumulative impacts of dyeing on hair health.

The book discussed in this abstract is a comprehensive guide to hair analysis, detailing the latest methods and applications across various fields such as toxicology and drug monitoring, designed for both newcomers and experts in the field.

This study highlights the multifunctional benefits of natural hair oils, like coconut and argan, for nourishing and protecting hair, while addressing safety and sustainability as key factors in their evolving use and formulation within cosmetic science.

This review discusses the limitations of current hair classification systems and highlights the need for standardized reporting of key hair characteristics to improve study comparisons; it reports no new results.

In this study, researchers observed that patients with androgenetic alopecia show differences in scalp microbial communities compared to the general population, including an increase in Cutibacterium acnes, particularly in males, which may interact with lipid and immune pathways to contribute to hair follicle miniaturization.

This study found that keratin fibers like human hair undergo thermal and mechanical transitions that can help assess changes from cosmetic processes such as bleaching and perm-waving.

In this study, experimentally induced weight loss in merino sheep led to a decrease in wool fiber diameter and increased expression of certain high sulfur and glycine-tyrosine proteins, potentially impacting wool quality and industry preferences.

In this study, researchers linked hair composition and mechanical properties to perceived hair quality, suggesting that hair quality may be genetically determined.

This study investigated the effect of peracetic acid treatment on hair fiber structure and found that disulfide bond oxidation altered thermal properties while preserving the α-crystal structure, suggesting different stabilizing interactions in hair fibers.

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 down and guard hairs of Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats have distinct protein compositions and physical properties, with keratin-related proteins potentially influencing these differences.

This study identified the AtPRPL1 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana as being involved in cell elongation processes, despite unclear changes in cell wall composition from its altered expression.

This case report describes two patients with trichothiodystrophy who exhibited a different pattern of hair protein composition changes, suggesting a subgroup of TTD characterized by partial loss of high-sulfur proteins without significant alteration in their amino acid composition.
