In this study, researchers extracted soluble keratin proteins from chicken feathers and found they maintain structural integrity with potential uses for damaged skin, exhibiting no irritative effects in ex vivo settings on hen's eggs.

This study reports that expressed mouse type Ia and type IIa trichocyte keratins were successfully assembled into intermediate filaments in vitro, while also suggesting that disulfide bond cross linking enhances their stability.

This study found that adding dithiodiglycolic acid to the hair straightening process decreased chemical damage and preserved the structural integrity of the hair matrix compared to using thioglycolic acid alone.

This study concluded that among the three diagnostic techniques for detecting Demodex mites in dogs, the scraping technique provided the best diagnostic value.

In this study, researchers found that TSPyV T antigens can disrupt normal cell differentiation and proliferation in hair follicles and interfollicular epidermis, possibly contributing to trichodysplasia spinulosa pathology.

This study developed an ultrahigh-power sonicator to improve protein extraction from hair shafts, followed by advanced proteomic analysis, identifying 239 differentially expressed proteins in fetal growth restriction cases compared to healthy controls, which were validated as potential biomarkers for perinatal diagnostics.

In this study, PEG and keratin scaffolds selectively influenced protein release rates based on charge and size, suggesting their potential for targeted delivery of protein therapeutics.

This study reported the development of a novel and reliable liquid chromatographic method to measure testosterone and epitestosterone in human urine, offering sensitive detection for doping control.

This study found that topical application of a cosmetic formulation containing capryloyl glycine 4% significantly reduced hair growth and thickness on the forearms of female participants after 120 days, compared to placebo.

This study identified a mutation in the CST6 gene linked to a rare syndrome with symptoms affecting hair and skin, revealing cystatin M/E's role in maintaining epidermal homeostasis and hair follicle development.

This study developed a non-invasive, partially automated protocol for extracting high-quality DNA from hair follicles of marmosets, significantly reducing chimerism rates compared to blood, and proving reliable for whole genome sequencing in low-input DNA scenarios.

This study found that glyoxylic acid caused more protein loss in hair compared to traditional alkaline straighteners, though both types of treatments showed comparable effects on hair tensile strength.

In this study, researchers developed de novo designed hetero-bifunctional proteins as an alternative approach for targeted protein degradation, successfully targeting BCL-xL for degradation in cells and inducing apoptosis, which may expand the range of addressable E3 ligases and disease targets.

This source reports that thymosin beta 4 accelerated dermal wound repair in phase 2 clinical trials for pressure ulcers, stasis ulcers, and epidermolysis bullosa wounds and was well tolerated.

In this study, researchers localized arginine and citrulline in rat hair follicles and found that arginine is abundant in trichohyalin droplets, while citrulline predominantly accumulates in the hardened inner sheath and medulla.

This study found that new methods for isolating human dermal papilla cells were more efficient than traditional methods, maintaining higher levels of specific markers and improving the cells' research potential.

This study developed an advanced HPLC-ESI-ion trap MS(n) method for the structural identification of cyclosporin A analogs CyA and CyC and reported the first MS(n)-aided identification of a new CyA analog.

The researchers reported that human foreskin fibroblasts isolated by enzyme digestion method proliferated faster and were purified more quickly than those isolated by the inverted tissue culture method; additionally, post-psoralen photoactivation therapy moderately repaired UVB-induced damage in these fibroblasts, suggesting potential clinical applications.

This review highlights the potential of PROTAC technology in drug discovery for previously undruggable targets, particularly in cancer therapy, while emphasizing the urgent need to discover more E3 ligase recruiters to optimize targeted protein degradation.
