research Studies on the split ends formation of hair by brushing.
Ethyl Carbitol is the best at preventing split ends in permed hair.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research Structural Changes of Hair Keratin by Reduction, Heat and subsequent Oxidation Treatments
DTDG in hair treatments reduces damage and preserves hair structure.
research Effect of equilibrium pH on the structure and properties of bleach‐damaged human hair fibers
Hair's structure and properties change with pH; acidic pH maintains strength and less swelling, while alkaline pH increases water content and swelling.
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 Antibacterial and wound healing stimulant nanofibrous dressing consisting of soluplus and soy protein isolate loaded with mupirocin
The new wound dressing speeds up healing and kills bacteria effectively.
research Mechanical and biological properties of keratose biomaterials
Keratose, derived from human hair, is a non-toxic biomaterial good for tissue regeneration and integrates well with body tissues.
research Col4a2-eGFPmouse model reveals the molecular and functional dynamics of basement membrane remodelling in hair follicle morphogenesis
Scientists made a mouse that shows how a specific protein in the skin changes and affects hair growth and shape.
research Characterization of nonkeratinous proteins extracted from human hair by permanet wave lotion.
Permanent wave lotion can extract proteins from hair, especially when pH is higher, and repeated treatments or bleaching can damage hair.
research Evolution of hard proteins in the sauropsid integument in relation to the cornification of skin derivatives in amniotes
Hard skin features like scales, feathers, and hair evolved through specific protein changes in different animal groups.
research Molecular Engineering of Recombinant Protein Hydrogels: Programmable Design and Biomedical Applications

15-Gy x-ray irradiation temporarily alters rat calvaria skin without causing significant inflammation or fibrosis.
research Author response: Hair follicle epidermal stem cells define a niche for tactile sensation
Skin stem cells in hair follicles are important for touch sensation.
research Chapter 4 Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
research Analysis of structural changes in permanent waved human hair using Raman spectroscopy
Permanent waving weakens hair by altering its protein structure.
research The Role of Natural Hydrogels in Enhancing Wound Healing: From Biomaterials to Bioactive Therapies
Natural hydrogels can improve wound healing but face challenges in becoming widely used in clinics.
research Three-dimensional microanatomy of longitudinal lanceolate endings in rat vibrissae
Rat vibrissae have sensory terminals with specific structures that help detect hair movements.
research Molecular modeling and structural characterization of a high glycine–tyrosine hair keratin associated protein
The 3D structure of a key hair protein was modeled, revealing specific helical structures and stabilization features.
research Proteomic tools for the investigation of human hair structural proteins and evidence of weakness sites on hair keratin coil segments
Hair proteins have weak spots in their α-helical segments.
research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 2111In fond memory of Dr Peter Steinert.
A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
