Chemical and Ultrastructural Changes in the Cuticle Observed in RabA2b Overexpressing Plants [PDF]
PlantsThe plant cuticle is a hydrophobic layer covering the cell wall that protects cells from pathogen invasion and water loss. In this study, we analyzed the cuticles of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants overexpressing the vesicular trafficking small ...

Human hair shaft proteomic profiling: individual differences, site specificity and cuticle analysis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Hair from different individuals can be distinguished by physical properties. Although some data exist on other species, examination of the individual molecular differences within the human hair shaft has not been thoroughly investigated.

Differences in hair coat condition between female and male mice occur through testicular-derived factors and are affected by the presence of another mouse. [PDF]
PLoS ONEAn animal's coat protects its body from ultraviolet rays, physical and chemical damage, and temperature changes. It also plays an important role in showing individual information like a pattern for the outside world. In addition, changes in the condition

Restoration of Hair Luster via Novel Biomarker COL7A1 by Minoxidil, Caffeine, and Biotin [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular BiologyHair luster, a key component of visual hair quality, depends largely on the integrity of the cuticle. While cosmetic products offer temporarily enhanced luster, their effects are limited due to a poor understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms.

The Cuticle of Mammalian Hair [PDF]
Nature, 1950 STUDIES in these laboratories have suggested that the arrangement of scales in the cuticles of mammalian hairs can be more accurately revealed by the examination of fibre sections, using ultra-violet light, than by the use of the electron microscope. This work has shown that the thickness of the cuticle of mammalian hair depends upon the arrangement of
