Hybrid in vitro diffusion cell for simultaneous evaluation of hair and skin decontamination: temporal distribution of chemical contaminants [PDF]
Most casualty or personnel decontamination studies have focused on removing contaminants from the skin. However, scalp hair and underlying skin are the most likely areas of contamination following airborne exposure to chemicals. The aim of this study was

Human hair keratins were among the first to be studied but it is only recently that sufficient information has been obtained to gain a basic biologic perspective of these proteins. Hair keratins are members of the intermediate filament family of proteins, yet are sufficiently divergent from epidermal keratins to warrant separate classification: type Ia

The comparative analysis of the methods for keratin extraction from sheep wool and human hair
Nowadays, biopolymers such as keratins are widely used in biomedicine due to their low toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. At the molecular level, keratins differ from other structural proteins by a high content of disulfide bonds, which ...

Analysis on Carbon and Nitrogen Stable Isotope Ratios of Residents’ Hair from Different Cities [PDF]
Stable isotope ratios of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen act as “nature’s recorder”. As a carrier for individual human information, human hair can be measured by isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) to translate into information about people’s ...
