Chemical and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)-based lipidomics techniques were used to investigate the alternations of lipid profiles in hairtail ( Trichiurus haumela ) muscle after chilled storage for six days. The chemical results showed that the peroxide values (PVs) and thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) content in the muscle increased significantly, from 0.43 meq/kg of lipids and 0.86 mg malondialdehyde (MDA)/kg of muscle to 8.36 meq/kg and 10.69 mg MDA/kg, respectively, after six days of chilled storage. LC–MS-based lipidomics analyses detected 1446 lipids in hairtail muscle tissues assigned to 26 lipid categories, including 257 triglycerides (TGs), 232 phosphatidylcholines (PCs), 149 phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs), and 78 ceramides (Cers), among other classes. In total, 175 and 67 differentially abundant lipids (DALs) accumulating at low and high abundance levels, respectively, were detected in chilled stored hairtail (CSH) compared to fresh (FH) samples. Among the DALs, the PCs, PEs, and TGs/diglycerides (DGs) as predominant lipid components were more prone to oxidation/hydrolysis, likely owing to their highly unsaturated properties. The apparent alterations between the CSH and FH samples might result from lipid lipolysis, modifications of main- and side-chains, backbone cleavage, and/or the decomposition of lipids during chilled storage.

In this paper, hair, which is composed of 99% keratin and 1% other elements, is chosen as a carbon source for nitrogen-doped carbon nanomaterials. By hydrothermal treatment of hair in water without any additives, such as salts, acids, or bases, carbon nanospheres with a photoluminescent quantum yield of 24.8% have been prepared. When the excitation wavelength changes from 300 to 480 nm, the photoluminescent peak shifts from 422 (violet) to 520 nm (green). Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra analysis shows the carbon nanospheres are functionalized with hydroxyl, amino, carbonyl, and carboxylic acid groups. The carbon nanospheres have been further used as a novel probe for label-free detection of Hg2+ ions. The method possesses high sensitivity and selectivity. The linear range for Hg2+ ions is 10 to 100 nM. Meanwhile, the detection can be easily accomplished with a one-step rapid operation. This sensing system has been successfully used for the analysis of river water samples.

Summary Synapses are fundamental components of the animal nervous system. Synaptic cytoskeleton is essential for maintaining proper neuronal development and wiring. Perturbations in neuronal microtubules (MTs) are correlated with numerous neuropsychiatric disorders. Despite discovering multiple synaptic MT regulators, the importance of MT stability, and particularly the polarity of MT in synaptic function, is still under investigation. Here, we identify Patronin, an MT minus-end-binding protein, for its essential role in presynaptic regulation of MT organization and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) development. Analyses indicate that Patronin regulates synaptic development independent of Klp10A. Subsequent research elucidates that it is short stop (Shot), a member of the Spectraplakin family of large cytoskeletal linker molecules, works synergistically with Patronin to govern NMJ development. We further raise the possibility that normal synaptic MT polarity contributes to proper NMJ morphology. Overall, this study demonstrates an unprecedented role of Patronin, and a potential involvement of MT polarity in synaptic development.

Chemical treatments of hair such as dyeing, perming and bleaching could cause mechanical damage to the hair, which weakens the hair fibers and makes the hair break more easily. In this work, hyaluronate (HA) with different molecular weight (MW) was investigated for its effects on restoring the mechanical properties of damaged hair. It was found that low-MW HA (average MW~42 k) could significantly improve the mechanical properties, specifically the elastic modulus, of overbleached hair. The fluorescent-labeling experiments verified that the low-MW HA was able to penetrate into the cortex of the hair fiber, while high-MW HA was hindered. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR) results implied the formation of additional intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the HA-treated hair. Thermos gravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated that the HA-treated hair exhibited decreased content of loosely bonded water, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) characterizations suggested stronger water bonding inside the HA-treated hair, which could alleviate the weakening effect of loosely bonded water on the hydrogen bond networks within keratin. Therefore, the improved elastic modulus and mechanical strength of the HA-treated hair could be attributed to the enhanced formation of hydrogen bond networks within keratin. This study illustrates the capability of low-MW HA in hair damage repair, implying an enormous potential for other moisturizers to be used in hair care products.Keywords:hair damage;hyaluronate;mechanical properties;tensile properties;hydrogen bond

In this study, the relationships between the concentrations of R/S-methamphetamine (MA) and its metabolite R/S-amphetamine (AP), the AP/MA ratio in hair samples, and MA dependence were investigated by performing segmental hair analysis in MA users. Authentic hair samples collected from 10 chronic MA abusers were cut into 1-cm sections (a total of 120 segments). The concentrations of MA and AM enantiomers were quantitatively measured by the LC–MS-MS method. The S-MA concentrations ranged from 1.17 to 256.41 ng/mg and the S-AP concentrations ranged from 0.11 to 23.31 ng/mg in the 120 segments. S-MA and S-AP were the most common analytes identified in hair; no R-MA or R-AP was found. The S-AP/S-MA ratios ranged from 0.03 to 0.32, indicating that the subjects primarily consumed S-MA rather than R-MA or AP. The S-AP/S-MA ratios in the long hair of all chronic MA abusers showed some variation, but there was an overall trend of gradual increase from the distal to the proximal end. This trend was independent of the drug concentrations. Therefore, we could conclude that the AP/MA ratios increased with the duration of MA abuse, and a higher AP/MA ratio suggested high MA dependence. There was no chiral conversion of MA or AP in the hair matrix. The segmental hair analysis showed that all subjects continuously used S-MA, and some users showed an increase in drug dose or the frequency of use.

Due to the damage of scalp because of chemical dyes, increasing attention had been paid to the ecological dyeing of human hair. To address the need for ecological restoration and dyeing of human hair, herein, a novel approach has been proposed via laccase-mediated in situ oxidation of dihydroxy phenylalanine (dopamine). As laccase can catalyze dopamine oxidation and then polymerization to produce strongly colored polymers, different biological coloration processes of human hair based on this process were investigated: (i) Human hair was treated with laccase alone; (ii) The absorption of human hair with dopamine, followed by further catalysis of air; (iii) The absorption of human hair with dopamine, followed by further catalysis of laccase; (iv) Simultaneous laccase-mediated polymerization and dyeing of human hair; and (v) Polymerization of Dopamine with laccase and then dyeing human hair. The surface properties of dyed hair were evaluated in terms of ultraviolet (UV)-protection, color fastness, Fourier transforming infrared spectrum (FT-IR), optical microscope, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that best hair dyeing effect was achieved via simultaneous laccase-mediated polymerization and dyeing. The dyed hair obtained K/S values of 28, light fastness of level 5, and UPF of 100 + . The optical microscope and SEM observations show that the surface of colored hair fibers was covered with thin burrs, which can be attributed to polydopamine attached with physical adhesive force and covalent reaction. FT-IR analysis shows that functional groups were present on the surface of the dyed hair which can be considered as introduction of hydroxyl radical groups. This biological stain technique may be widely used in dyeing of hair with black color.

Graphene-based planar microsupercapacitors are promising energy storage devices for microelectromechanical systems. However, the capacitance and energy density of such graphene-based microsupercapacitors cannot achieve further promotion because of the lack of strategies that permit tailoring both chemical and geometric structures of graphene at the nanoscale. In this study, supercapacitors on hairs with quantum capacitance-dominant extraordinary capacitance are found. Simulations reveal that the record high capacitance and energy density are attributed to the enhanced quantum capacitance effect. The graphene electrodes are prepared by femtosecond laser direct writing-assisted reduction and N-doping of graphene oxides on the human hair surface. Due to the distinct quantum capacitance dominance, the microsupercapacitors exhibit extremely high capacitance (∼3000 mF/cm 2 ) and energy density (∼417 μWh/cm 2 ). We hope that this work will promote the development of microsupercapacitors with high capacitance and energy density.

While human hair is widely used to monitor micro-organic contaminants (MOCs), their incorporation mechanisms are poorly understood. Melanin, known to facilitate the accumulation of drugs in hair, hasn’t been studied in the field of MOCs. Here, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of priority MOCs, were investigated through hair biomonitoring as well as cell exposure experiments. PAH concentrations and melanin contents were measured in black and white hairs from the same individual. The results showed that five dominant PAHs (phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo[ a ]anthracene and chrysene) in black hair (0.66 ng/g – 35.1 ng/g) were significantly higher than those in white hair (0.52 ng/g – 29.6 ng/g). Melanin contents in black hair (14.9 – 48.9 ng/g) were markedly higher than in white hair (0.35 – 2.15 ng/g) and were correlated to PAH concentrations, hinting melanin-mediated accumulation of PAHs in hair. The in vitro experiment using murine melanoma cells demonstrates that PAH levels in cells were affected by melanin, suggesting the affinity of melanin to PAHs. Both biomonitoring and cell exposure experiment implicate the pivotal role of melanin in PAH accumulation in hair. Therefore, to ensure the accuracy of hair biomonitoring for MOCs, attention must be paid to the melanin content uniformity.

DNAzymes have gained various applications in scientific fields, but their practical uses in everyday life are still being investigated. Hair dyeing, a popular cosmetic practice, still poses potential health risks, owing to the toxicity of commercial hair dyes. In this study, we assessed the feasibility of DNAzyme-catalyzed hair dyeing using natural pigments. We found that DNAzymes of peroxidase activity can expedite dopamine polymerization, resulting in the black coloration of human hair in around half an hour. This process can be achieved by using the milder Tris buffer to substitute the NH 4 OH with 0.1 mM H 2 O 2 . In addition, these DNAzymes can catalyze the polymerization of other natural pigments. Thus, our mild and rapid hair dyeing approach has the potential to substitute traditional harsh hair dyeing conditions and also provides new insights into the field of DNAzyme applications.

Methamphetamine (MA) and amphetamine (AM) are widely abused drugs. These compounds contain a chiral center, and their enantiomers exhibit different pharmacologic, pharmacokinetic, and metabolic properties due to differences in binding affinities to their receptor sites. Until now, there was a lack of information on the decline in the concentration of drugs in hair after abstinence. A simple procedure for the chiral separation and determination of methamphetamine (MA) and its metabolite amphetamine (AM) enantiomers by LC–MS/MS in hair samples has been developed and fully validated. The LODs and LLOQs were 0.02 ng/mg and 0.05 ng/mg for all analytes, respectively. This method was successfully applied to both real hair specimens from chronic MA users and after the discontinuation of MA. The concentration of total MA, and total AM in fifty-eight authentic hair specimens ranged from 7.8 ng/mg to 521.0 ng/mg, and from 0.3 ng/mg to 84.0 ng/mg, respectively. Both enantiomers of MA and/or AM were detected in seven of fifty-eight authentic hair specimens. Hair specimens were from thirteen women with a known history of MA abuse, who went to a rehabilitation center and ceased consuming MA (for 4–5 months). The S -isomers of MA and AM were detected in all the 5–6 cm segments. Both enantiomers of MA were detected in nine of the 5–6 cm segments and the enantiomers of AM were found in only five of the nine samples. Assuming a hair growth rate of 1 cm/month, the mean hair elimination half-lives of S -MA, R -MA, S -AM, and R -AM were 0.64(95% CI, 0.46–0.96), 0.58(95% CI, 0.41–0.93), 0.62(0.49–0.88), and 0.50 months (95% CI, 0.42–0.56), respectively. With the developed method, R/S -MA and R/S -AM could be detected in the hair of former drug users for approximately 4 months after abstinence. S -MA is the most commonly found analyte in hair segments and is principally used by abusers. Our results suggest that to evaluate the discontinuation of MA abuse after a 6-month period of abstinence, a 3-cm proximal hair segment should be free of MA at the SOHT proposed cut-off level.

Metal polyphenolic networks (MPNs) are becoming more and more attractive for nontoxic hair dyeing, but their coloring effect is not satisfactory because of the limited interfacial deposition and the absence of internal deposition. Moreover, there is a lack of understanding of the driving factors of the interfacial deposition of MPNs on hair. Herein, we develop a simple yet efficient strategy that transforms disulfide bonds of the hair into thiol groups by thioglycolic acid (TGA) to highly enhance the coloring effect of MPNs at a low temperature. The highly reactive thiol groups react with Fe2+ to form Fe–S bonds, greatly facilitating the interfacial and internal deposition of MPNs and thus resulting in rapid coloration and high darkness. Moreover, the TGA-assisted MPNs-dyed (TGA/MPN) hair shows high resistance to washing with a shampoo. Further, it is found that the connection of thiol groups to the MPNs endows the TGA/MPN hair with similar mechanical and structural properties to the natural white hair and even enables simultaneous hair dyeing and perming. This study offers a novel universal strategy for hair dyeing and permeation with MPNs.

Most commercial permanent hair dyeing technologies are based on the oxidative process of p-phenylenediamine and its derivative materials. However, concerns about their toxicological issues have been raised throughout the years. Herein, we report an innovative surface coloration strategy for fabricating melanin-mimetic multicolor and low-toxicity hair dyes through sodium periodate-induced rapid deposition of eumelanin-like polydopamine (PDA) and pheomelanin-like PDA/cysteine co-deposited coatings on the hair surface. The color and morphology of the resulting hair were characterized in detail by several spectroscopy methods and the possible mechanism for the multi-coloring effects and structural differences of the melanin-mimetic coating was proposed. Our strategy eliminates the use of toxic dye precursors or organic solvents, and the favorable safety of the PDA-based formulations is demonstrated. The fabricated dyes can be applied to hair simply by combing, resulting in uniform multi-coloring effects within a short time. Furthermore, the melanin-mimetic hair dyes have excellent durability and ultraviolet protection performance. This work provides a facile and versatile methodology to develop the next generation of safe, sustainable and multicolor hair dyes and pave new avenues for advancing the field of surface coloration, nanoreactors, nanogenerators, energy storage materials and biomimetic sensing devices.
