Human hair keratin responds to oxidative stress via reactive sulfur and supersulfides

Keratin is a central component of human hair proteins, which explicitly possesses many cysteine residues (Cys-SH). For a long time, these Cys-SH residues were believed to contribute to human hair strength by forming intra- and inter-molecular disulfide bond crosslinks. However, we detected that many...
