The 3D structure of a key hair protein was modeled, revealing specific helical structures and stabilization features.

Self-assembling RADA16-I hydrogels with bioactive peptides significantly improve wound healing.

Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.

Infrared and Raman imaging can non-destructively analyze hair structure and help diagnose hair conditions.

Different hair protein amounts change the strength of keratin/chitosan gels, useful for making predictable tissue engineering materials.

Peptide hydrogel scaffolds help grow new hair follicles using stem cells.

Liposomal systems show promise for delivering drugs through the skin but face challenges like high costs and stability issues.

Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.

Nanofiber scaffolds help wounds heal by delivering drugs directly to the injury site.

Peptide-based hydrogels are promising for healing chronic wounds effectively.

Using laccase to add poly(tyrosine) to wool makes it less likely to shrink and stronger.

Hair from breast cancer patients shows changes in structure and composition, and a test using these changes detected cancer but also falsely identified some healthy samples as cancerous.

Peptide hydrogels heal burn wounds faster and better than standard dressings.

The flap assay grows the most natural hair but takes the longest, the chamber assay is hard work but gives dense, normal hair, and the patch assay is quick but creates poorly oriented hair with some issues.

Human hair has different protein structures in its cuticle and cortex.

The study concludes that certain domains in Clostridium histolyticum enzymes are structurally unique, bind calcium to become more stable, and play distinct roles in breaking down collagen, with potential applications in medicine and drug delivery.

Scientists created three types of structures to help regrow hair follicles, and all showed promising results for hair regeneration.

Researchers used a laser to create advanced skin models with hair-like structures.

3D imaging of skin biopsies offers better accuracy but is time-consuming and can't clear melanin.

The conclusion is that using light-sheet fluorescence microscopy with a special solution can effectively create detailed 3D images of human skin for dermatological research.

Permanent waving weakens hair by altering its protein structure.

The document concludes that understanding the anatomical changes of the ageing face is important for effective rejuvenation treatments.

Horizontal sections of scalp biopsies are good for diagnosing Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia and help customize treatment.

A protein called desmoglein 3 is important for keeping hair follicle stem cells inactive and helps in their regeneration.

Trichoscopy helps tell apart scalp lesions in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus and is useful for choosing biopsy locations.

Rats can't grow new hair follicles after skin wounds, unlike mice, due to differences in gene expression and response to WNT signaling.

Disulfide bonds make keratin in hair stronger and tougher.

Hair treatments cause significant structural changes, especially with excessive heat, regardless of ethnicity.

Mutations in the enzyme don't significantly change how it binds to its specific substances.

Microspheres about 1.5 micrometers in size can best penetrate hair follicles, potentially reaching important stem cells.
