This study discusses that permanent hair straightening can be achieved at neutral or acidic pH conditions, with varying effects on cystine and lanthionine levels, by inducing supercontraction of the hair fiber.

This study found that a bilayer wound dressing capable of releasing hydrogen sulfide promoted wound healing in rats by reducing inflammation, enhancing vascularization, and facilitating hair follicle regeneration.

This study purified a transglutaminase enzyme from human epidermis that requires calcium or strontium for activity and forms cross-linked polymers, but its detailed activation mechanism remains unclear.

In this study, researchers used iron ion coordination to successfully create a molecular knot with three organic ligand strands and eight crossings.

In this study, a novel injectable hydrogel with antibacterial and hemostatic properties showed promise in promoting the healing of MRSA-infected skin wounds.

In this study, researchers found that follicular and epidermal transglutaminases are biochemically and immunologically distinct, suggesting the possibility of selectively modifying hair or epidermal proteins.

In this study, sodium thiosulfate was observed to promote hair growth in mice by encouraging hair follicles to enter the growth phase and complementing the effects of minoxidil, suggesting potential benefits for hair loss treatment.

This study identified N-acyl arylsulfonamides, particularly N-(Boc-piperidine-4-carbonyl)-benzenesulfonamides, as steroid sulfatase inhibitors with improved cellular potency compared to previous compounds.

In this study, the combination of biologically engineered hyaluronic acid and polyquaternium-10 improved hyaluronic acid's retention and moisturizing effects on hair by forming a stable complex that increased binding affinity to keratin.

In this study, a method using riboflavin phosphate, citric acid, and polyols successfully optimized protein cross-linking in hair of all colors through visible light-mediated photo-cross-linking, improving the mechanical properties and hair-setting effects without the influence of hair color.

This study found that enzymatic conversion of Arg-51 in S100A3 protein to citrulline promotes homotetramer assembly, potentially increasing Ca²⁺ binding required for hair cuticular barrier formation.

This study developed a novel hair-straightening shampoo incorporating a polyphenol–inorganic sulfate redox agent, finding that it effectively straightens hair while enhancing strength and reducing damage due to its protective polyphenol coating.

This study found that biotinoyl tripeptide-1-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles significantly improved thermal protection in hair, enhancing cuticle integrity and resistance to heat damage, compared to control samples.

This study found that bioconjugating 16-methylheptadecanoic acid (16-MHA) to damaged hair can mimic the protective properties of 18-methyleicosanoic acid (18-MEA), restoring the hair's structural integrity and moisture homeostasis, even after washing.

This study demonstrated that GP derivatization improves mass spectral analysis of spironolactone and its metabolites by reducing in-source fragmentation and enhancing signal clarity, laying the groundwork for future advancements in reaction optimization and quantitative assay development.

This study found that disulfide bonds in keratin increase its strength and toughness, with some loss of α-helical structure under load, highlighting their role in trichocyte α-keratin's mechanical properties.
