This study reported that both gray and black-brown hair had decreased sulfur content after dyeing with a permanent hair dye mixture consisting primarily of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.

This study found that white hair demonstrated denser and more hydrophobic properties compared to black hair.

This case report describes a young girl with trichothiodystrophy and suggests the need for early diagnosis and multidisciplinary interventions for her educational challenges.

This article reports a case of trichothiodystrophy in a 7-year-old girl with sulfur deficiency in her hair, characterized by sparse, slow-growing hair and distinctive tiger tail banding under microscopy.

This case report describes a 2-year-old boy diagnosed with trichothiodystrophy, characterized by fragile hair, intellectual damage, diminished fertility, and short stature.

This study found that adding sheep wool-waste or human hair-waste to soil increased yields and secondary metabolites in various crops and supported up to five harvests without additional fertilizers, though it decreased mycorrhizae colonization.

This report describes a patient with trichothiodystrophy exhibiting both specific hair abnormalities and developmental delay, contributing to the understanding of this rare disorder's clinical presentation.

This study found that specific human hair keratins are differentially expressed in the hair follicle, suggesting a shared pathway of epithelial differentiation between hair cortex and nail plate cells.

Keratin-associated proteins are crucial for hair strength and structure.

This case study describes a young woman with a unique syndrome combining lamellar ichthyosis, neuroectodermal and mesodermal defects, and hair with trichoschisis and low sulfur content.

This article reviews extensive genetic polymorphisms in the keratin-associated proteins of human hair, indicating complexity but reporting no new clinical results and calls for further research on their potential impact on hair structure.

This study reports that trichocyte intermediate filaments from rat vibrissae and human hair follicles may contain a hollow region at their core, suggesting unique structural properties.

This study found that trichothiodystrophic hair shows reduced and disoriented protein deposition in follicles, with both the cuticle and cortex affected, providing localized structural insights into keratin abnormalities.

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 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.

This study identified two types of hard alpha-keratin filament assemblies in developing human hair follicles, which may help investigate the structural framework of mammalian keratin appendages.

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.

Methylmercury accumulates in mouse hair during growth, then decreases when growth stops.

In this study, treatment with aqueous KCN selectively converted disulfide bonds to monosulfide crosslinks in hair, leading to changes in microstructural properties and rubberlike elasticity under specific laboratory conditions.

This case report details two siblings with trichothiodystrophy, identifying reduced hair sulfur content as essential for diagnosis despite varied symptoms complicating recognition.

This study found that the expressions of CDK inhibitors p21waf1/cip1 and p27kip1 were higher during the anagen phase compared to telogen, suggesting a role in follicular epithelial cell differentiation.

This case report identifies an association between trichothiodystrophy and a urologic malformation with primary hypercalciuria, adding to the spectrum of TTD-related abnormalities.

In this study, researchers evaluated the antifungal effectiveness of topical products on infected kitten hair, finding most were effective after one application, with enilconazole and lime sulfur showing residual activity; however, 0.15% ketoconazole with chlorhexidine had no such lasting effect.

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 reviews the classification and complexity of keratin protein groups in hair follicles, but reports no new experimental results on their transcriptional events.

This study found that treating hair with aqueous KCN converts disulfide bonds to monosulfide crosslinks, affecting the elasticity and crosslink distribution in hair microstructures.

This study reports a case of generalized dermatitis in a mixed-breed German Spitz due to Sarcoptes scabiei and Malassezia sp. infection, treated with ivermectin and fluconazole, plus supportive therapies, resulting in marked lesion reduction though not full recovery.

In this study, the authors identified and characterized the Get3d protein, conserved across plants and photosynthetic bacteria, which localizes to the chloroplast in Arabidopsis thaliana and potentially plays a role in tail-anchored protein targeting, linked to photosynthesis homeostasis.

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.

This article discusses dermatophycosis, a fungal infection affecting various animals, and outlines its transmission, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention methods, but reports no new research findings.
