research Supplementary material from "Giant axonal neuropathy alters the structure of keratin intermediate filaments in human hair"
Giant axonal neuropathy changes the structure of keratin in human hair, making it stiffer and stronger.
research Expression patterns of the glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor, neurturin, their cognate receptors GFRα-1, GFRα-2, and a common signal transduction element c-Ret in the human skin hair follicles
Certain proteins and their receptors are more active during the growth phase of human hair and could be targeted to treat hair disorders.
research Quantifying Polymer Deposition on Hair Fibers by Microfluorometry
Microfluorometry effectively measures how much polymer coats and penetrates hair, useful for evaluating hair products.

Hair shedding is an active process that could be targeted to treat hair loss.
research Stability of opiates in hair fibers after exposure to cosmetic treatment
Cosmetic treatments like bleaching and perming can greatly reduce opiate levels in hair, possibly leading to false-negative drug tests.
research Development of a DNA-analytical Method for the Identification of Animal Hair Fibers in Textiles
Researchers developed a new method to identify animal hair in textiles, which is effective for various fibers and more reliable than previous methods.
research Measuring changes in chemistry, composition, and molecular structure within hair fibers by infrared and Raman spectroscopic imaging
Infrared and Raman imaging can non-destructively analyze hair structure and help diagnose hair conditions.
research The adsorption behavior of cationic surfactant onto human hair fibers
A certain surfactant sticks to human hair, making it change from water-repelling to water-attracting, which could help in hair conditioning.
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 Fiber-Safe Extraction of Red Mordant Dyes from Hair Fibers
A new method extracts red dyes from wool without damaging it, although it slightly weakens the wool.
research Azimuthal Scattering from Elliptical Hair Fibers
Light scatters differently from elliptical hair fibers than from circular ones, and a new model better predicts this behavior, especially for shiny highlights.
research Chemical modification of keratin fibers using 2‐iminothiorane hydrochloride
2-iminothiorane hydrochloride improves hair waving permanence without damage.
research The Interaction of Hair Fibers with Alkali Bromide Solutions
Hair absorbs alkali bromide salts and water, affecting its structure, with absorption decreasing at higher temperatures.
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 Inhalation therapy for repairing damaged elastin fibers and decelerating elastinolysis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Inhalation therapy may repair and protect elastin in the lungs of COPD patients.
research Anti-keratin Monoclonal Antibodies for Identifying Animal Hair Fibers
Scientists made antibodies to tell cashmere and wool apart, which could improve how we identify animal fibers.
research Fractal geometry and topology abstracted from hair fibers
Hair fibers have fractal patterns with properties related to the golden mean, which may affect their functionality.
research Failure of intercellular adhesion in hair fibers with regard to hair condition and strain conditions
Hair breaks differently when wet or dry and is affected by its condition and treatments like perms and bleaching.
research Pigmented Hair-Thickening Fibers: A Camouflage Technique for Alopecia in Patients with Epidermolysis Bullosa
Colored hair-thickening fibers can help hide hair loss in some people with Epidermolysis Bullosa but may cause scalp irritation.
