The method allows detailed observation of hair tissue structures.
research Fine structure of marsupial hairs, with emphasis on trichohyalin and the structure of the inner root sheath
Marsupial hair structure and keratin distribution are similar to placental mammals.
research The Proteins of Normal and Aberrant Hair Keratins
Hair is mostly made of three protein types: helical, high-sulfur, and high-tyrosine.
research Nuclear Topology, Epigenetics, and Keratinocyte Differentiation
Nuclear shape and chromatin changes affect gene expression in skin cell differentiation.
research Multiscale modelling of human hair
Human hair becomes weaker and stretches more easily at higher temperatures.
research The three-dimensional microvascular and collagen fibrillar arrangements around rat vibrissa hairs as revealed by scanning electron microscopy
The lower part of rat vibrissa hair gets more blood and is well-protected for growth.
research Recurrent E413K Mutation of hHb6 in a Japanese Family with Monilethrix
The E413K mutation in the hHb6 gene causes monilethrix, a hair disorder, but doesn't show consistent symptoms.
research Hair—the most sophisticated biological composite material
Hair is a complex protein fiber with unique properties useful for developing hair products.
research Synchronizing actin and microtubules for axonal branching
Certain proteins help nerve cells branch, and other findings relate to cancer, stem cell behavior, and cell division.
research Exploring a biological tissue from atomic to macroscopic scale using synchrotron radiation: example of hair.
Hair has unevenly distributed proteins and lipids, with lipids mainly in the cuticle and proteins in the cortex and medulla.
research Structural changes in the trichocyte intermediate filaments accompanying the transition from the reduced to the oxidized form
Oxidation changes the structure of hair protein filaments, causing them to compact and rearrange.
research Cortical cell types and intermediate filament arrangements correlate with fiber curvature in Japanese human hair
Hair curvature in Japanese people is linked to specific cell types and filament arrangements in the hair cortex.
research Pili trianguli et canaliculi as a phenotypic subtype in patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia: A scanning electron microscopy study
Hair shaft changes may be linked to CCCA, but their role is unclear.
research Molecular elements of the regulatory control of keratin filament modulator AHF/trichohyalin in the hair follicle
The study concluded that a protein important for hair strength is regulated by certain molecular processes and is affected by growth phases.
research Torsional behavior of human hair
Water makes hair more flexible, especially the outer layer.
research Scattering from Elliptical Hair Fibers Based on Microfacet Theory
research Quantifying whole human hair scalp fibres of varying curl: A micro‐computed tomographic study
Human hair varies in structure based on curl type, with high curl hair showing the most differences.
research Hair Whorls in the Dog (Canis familiaris). I. Distribution
Most dogs have hair whorls on their chest and limbs, with shelter dogs and short-haired dogs having more chest whorls.
research Scanning Electron Microscopic Study on Collagen Fibrils in the Mink Dermis during the Hair Cycle and Growth
Collagen fibrils in mink skin change structure during hair growth, becoming looser and thicker in the active phase.
