research Reduction mechanism of L ‐cysteine on keratin fibers using microspectrophotometry and Raman spectroscopy
L-cysteine slows down the breaking of bonds in hair due to electrostatic interactions.
research Chapter 4 Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
research Helical twist direction in the macrofibrils of keratin fibres is left handed
Keratin fibers in hair twist left-handed.
research Characterization of the Human Hair Keratin–Associated Protein 2 (KRTAP2) Gene Family
KRTAP2 genes are crucial for hair structure and may impact hair disorders and treatments.
research Comparative genomics analyses of alpha-keratins reveal insights into evolutionary adaptation of marine mammals
Marine mammals lost many α-keratin genes, aiding their adaptation to aquatic life by becoming hairless.
research Heat‐damaged evaluation of virgin hair
Heat damages hair, with Asian hair losing more protein than Caucasian hair.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research The swelling behaviour of hair studied through the structural change of keratin protein during the permanent waving treatment
Hair structure changes immediately during perm treatment, with initial damage partially restored later.
research Damage limitation: comparing the impact of polymers on bleached hair, when applied within or as post-bleach treatments
Polymers help reduce damage and improve bleached hair when used during or after bleaching.
research The susceptibility of disulfide bonds to modification in keratin fibers undergoing tensile stress
Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.
research Human Hair Keratin‐Associated Proteins (KAPs)
Keratin-associated proteins are crucial for hair strength and structure.
research ELECTRON MICROSCOPE STUDIES OF HAIR AND WOOL
Hair and wool have complex microscopic structures with microfibrils and varying cystine content.
research The proteomics of keratin proteins
Modern techniques have improved the understanding of keratin proteins, revealing their roles in various cells and potential in disease diagnosis.
research Human KAP Genes, Only the Half of it? Extensive Size Polymorphisms in Hair Keratin-Associated Protein Genes
KAP genes show significant genetic variability, but its impact on hair traits is unclear.
research Protein disulphide isomerase-mediated grafting of cysteine-containing peptides onto over-bleached hair
PDI helps restore over-bleached hair's strength and structure by attaching special peptides.
research Cross-linked features of mouse pelage hair resistant to detergent extraction
Some mutant mice have hair with abnormal cross-linking, mainly in the cuticle, not affecting other hair parts.
research Microscopical characterization of known postmortem root bands using light and scanning electron microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Penetration of different molecular weight hydrolysed keratins into hair fibres and their effects on the physical properties of textured hair
Different sizes of keratin peptides can strengthen hair, with smaller ones possibly increasing volume and larger ones repairing damage.
research Physical and mechanical properties of the hair shaft: A review of measurement techniques to verify the efficacy of cosmetic products
Different techniques measure hair properties to ensure cosmetic products work.
research Adsorption of Diclofenac and PFBS on a Hair Keratin Dimer
Human hair keratin might be good for filtering out harmful substances from water.
research Properties of Partially Extracted Hairs and their Degradability by Proteases
Mf-rich hair degrades more than Ma-rich hair, especially with Proteinase K.
research Polyomavirus‐induced pilomatricomas in mice: from viral inoculation to tumour development
Polyomavirus A2 infection in newborn mice caused hair follicle tumors.
research Malignant appearance of trichilemmal cyst: a case report with review of the literature
A man's neck lump was a trichilemmal cyst, not cancer, and should be fully removed due to rare risk of becoming malignant.
research Structural change of keratin protein in human hair by permanent waving treatment
Permanent waving damages hair by disrupting its keratin structure.
