480-510 / 1000+ resultsresearch The infected hairs of tinea capitis due to Microsporum canis: Demonstration of uniqueness of the hair cuticle by scanning electron microscopy
The hair cuticle acts as a barrier against fungal infection, which occurs only deep within the hair follicle.
research Characterization of Hair Follicles in Hirosaki Hairless Rats with Deletion of Basic Hair Keratin Genes. Enlarged Medulla, Loss of Cuticle and Long Catagen
Hirosaki hairless rats have sparse, twisted hair due to missing hair keratin genes.
research Scanning electron microscopes/silicon drift detector-energy dispersive spectroscopy: An analytical tool to identify waterborne microminerals pickup in human scalp hair cuticle due to water quality
The method can identify minerals in hair from water, and using coconut oil or conditioner can prevent mineral buildup.
research Calculation of Cuticle Step Heights from AFM Images of Outer Surfaces of Human Hair
AFM helps study hair surfaces for dermatology, cosmetics, and forensics.
