5 / 655 resultsresearch Direct evidence supporting the existence of a helical dislocation in protofilament packing in the intermediate filaments of oxidized trichocyte keratin
Oxidized trichocyte keratin has a helical dislocation in its structure.
research Structure and Mechanical Properties of Human Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filament Protein
Disulfide bonds make keratin in hair stronger and tougher.
research Mechanistic Aspects of African Hair Relaxation
Relaxers straighten African hair by breaking down its helical structure using strong bases.
research Thermal and mechanical transitions in keratins and their relevance for hair cosmetics
High temperatures and cosmetic processes can damage hair keratin, affecting its structure and strength.
research cDNA Cloning, Expression, and Assembly Characteristics of Mouse Keratin 16
Mouse and human keratin 16 can both form filaments, with differences likely due to the tail domain, not the helical domain.

Curved hair transplantation requires specialized tools and techniques to avoid damaging hair follicles, with modified FUE being the preferred method. Proper extraction and implantation angles are crucial to prevent complications like keloids and sterile folliculitis.
community Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.
community Keratin microspheres - breakthrough
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
community Best Microneedle Lengths To Stimulate Stem Cells
Microneedling with needle lengths of 1.5mm to 2.5mm to stimulate hair follicle stem cells for potential hair growth. Using needles longer than 2.5mm is not recommended due to risk of puncturing veins in the scalp. A dermastamp is suggested over a roller.
community Elastin based peptides help reduce wrinkles. Can they help the scalp too?
Elastin-based peptides may help reduce wrinkles and could potentially benefit the scalp. The conversation suggests using them with hyaluronic acid gel to improve scalp health and reduce hair fall.
