Rho GTPases are central regulators of the cytoskeleton and, in humans, are controlled by
145 multidomain guanine nucleotide exchange factors (RhoGEFs) and GTPase-activating …

The three-dimensional arrangement of chromatin encodes regulatory traits important for
nuclear processes such as transcription and replication. Chromatin topology is in part mediated …

Rho GTPases control cell shape formation and thus fundamental physiological processes in
all eukaryotes. Their functions are regulated by 145 RhoGEF and RhoGAP multi-domain …

A "permanent" bent shape can be imposed on a straight human hair by a two-stage
reduction/oxidation (perm-waving) process. The process relies on the molecular level on sulfhydryl/…

Hair is an insoluble, fibrous, α-keratinous, protein composite material, providing outer
coverage, eg, for mammals. In the context of a wider study on the effects of pH on human hair …

Purpose To investigate monoallelic CLPB variants. Pathogenic variants in many genes cause
congenital neutropenia. While most patients exhibit isolated hematological involvement, …

The concept of mimicking structural colour in nature as an alternative to traditional textile
coloration techniques would reduce dependency on dyes, pigments and vast quantities of …

The aim of this study is to extend the knowledge gained through the dynamic humidity curl
retention (DHCR) to determine the influence of the polymers in the composite (polymer/hair) …

The relation between the main cortical structures in hair (IFs & matrix) and its mechanical
properties has been studied for many years. Beyond fundamentals aspects, this was also done …
