Chitosan-coated spironolactone nano carriers effectively treat acne without side effects.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research External lipid function in ethnic hairs
African hair has the most lipids, while Caucasian hair is more hydrated and stronger.
research Ultrastructural immunolocalization of involucrin in the medulla and inner root sheath of the human hair
Involucrin helps strengthen the inner parts of human hair.
research Structural Abnormalities in the Hair of a Patient with a Novel Ribosomopathy
