This study found that the unique functions of keratin 16 are likely determined by its tail domain, challenging the previous hypothesis about the role of the helix 1B subdomain.

In this study, researchers reported that the application of refolded human K31 keratin protein significantly improved diameter, mechanical strength, and smoothness of chemically damaged hair after a single treatment.

In this study, certain cysteine residues in Romney sheep wool fibers were labeled more often during stretching tests, particularly under wet conditions, suggesting variability in their disulfide bond contributions to fiber mechanics depending on hydration.

The researchers reported that autophagy, a lysosome-dependent degradation mechanism, plays a significant role in the cellular remodeling of keratinocyte differentiation in the skin, affecting the properties of the differentiation products by altering cellular components during this process.

This study found that keratin damage in mammals and birds can result from N-homocysteinylation, reducing keratin solubility and indicating significant protein modification through genetic or nutritional disruptions in homocysteine metabolism.

This study found that human hair exhibits significant deformation in its intermediate filaments under strain, with recovery taking about 1000 minutes, suggesting a self-healing period post-mechanical stress. Additionally, cuticle scales deform much less than the cortex, and the Poisson ratio aligns with soft matter properties.

This review highlights the potential of microneedles as a pediatric-friendly method for delivering proteins, vaccines, and diagnostics transdermally, noting their ability to penetrate the skin's barrier and suggesting future applications in other parts of the body.

This article reviews the genetic and protein interactions involved in hair growth, highlighting regulatory sequences, expression patterns, and potential genetic modifications, but presents no new experimental findings.

This study found that adding microneedling to minoxidil treatment significantly improved hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone across all assessed measures.

This study found that in Liaoning cashmere goats, overexpression of the PIP5K1A gene enhances skin fibroblast proliferation, while interference with this gene reverses melatonin-induced proliferation, and PIP5K1A regulates certain miRNA expressions, suggesting a role in improving cashmere yield and quality.

This study presents a new automated method for measuring total phenolic compounds in Ziziphus Jujuba fruit extract, showing high precision and potential applications in health and environmental sciences.

This study found that Asian mothers in Leicestershire from 1976 to 1981 had one and a half times the risk of perinatal mortality compared to non-Asian mothers, even when controlling for various factors.

This abstract does not provide any new research findings or results.

This review discusses the principles, materials, and applications of melt electrowriting-based 4D printing for creating biomimetic scaffolds, but reports no new clinical results; it highlights recent advancements and remaining challenges in the field.

This review discusses pyrene excimer nucleic acid probes for detecting biomolecules and protein-DNA interactions and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that keratin-based particles were able to recover and enhance the mechanical properties and thermal stability of virgin and overbleached Asian hair, improving its strength and smoothness by around 40%, and demonstrated safety in human skin keratinocytes.

In this study, researchers found that L-cysteine interacted electrostatically with anionic ions on the surface of keratin fibers in human hair, reducing the rate of disulfide bond disconnection at pH 9.0.

This study's molecular dynamics simulations suggest that electrostatic interactions mainly stabilize peptide binding to human hair keratin, with the protein's dielectric constant significantly affecting free energy calculations.
