research Stiffness of Human Hair Correlates with the Fractions of Cortical Cell Types
Hair stiffness is higher when it has more para-like cortical cells.
research Cystathionine β‐synthase‐deficient mice thrive on a low‐methionine diet
Mice with CBS deficiency are healthier on a low-methionine diet.
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 Specific receptor detection by a functional keratinocyte growth factor-immunoglobulin chimera.
A new protein was made to detect specific skin cell growth receptors and worked in normal skin but not in skin cancer cells.
research Keratin network modifications lead to the mechanical stiffening of the hair follicle fiber
Changes in keratin make hair follicles stiffer.

A specific protein in chicken embryos links early skin layers to feather development.
research Betaine supplementation is less effective than methionine restriction in correcting phenotypes of CBS deficient mice
Methionine restriction works better than betaine for treating CBS deficiency symptoms in mice.
research pH Dependence of the Coiled-Coil Structure of Keratin Intermediate Filament in Human Hair by 13C NMR Spectroscopy and the Mechanism of Its Disruption
Keratin structure in hair is stable at pH 5-6 but disrupts between pH 6-7.
research Evaluation and formulation of Spirulina platensis proteins for potential applications in hair care products
Spirulina proteins can improve hair smoothness and strength in hair care products.
research Repair of damaged hair protein fiber by jointly using transglutaminase and keratin
Using an enzyme and keratin treatment can significantly repair and strengthen damaged hair.

research Shampoo, conditioner and hair washing
Dermatologists should learn more about shampoos to better treat hair and scalp issues.
research Effect of Aspartic Acid Intermediate Treatment on Virgin Hair by Permanent Wave
Aspartic acid at 0.75% makes perms more effective and less damaging to hair.
research Exploring the effects of wetting and free fatty acid deposition on an atomistic hair fiber surface model incorporating Keratin Associated Protein 5-1
Water and fatty acids affect hair's surface differently based on hair damage, and models can help understand hair-cosmetic interactions.
research Hair Straightening
Hair straightening changes hair structure and can cause damage if done wrong, but improvements in the methods are expected to continue.
research Hair Straightening
Hair straightening methods have advanced to improve effectiveness and reduce damage, but still rely on heat and chemicals.
research Exogenous Factors in Hair Disorders
Outside factors like grooming, chemicals, and the environment can damage hair and cause disorders.
research Enzymatic Method for Assessing Hair Damage with Reduction and Subsequent Oxidation
Permed hair degrades faster and shows more damage after protease treatment compared to untreated hair.
research An Investigation of Hair and its Keratin Associated Proteins using Advanced Light Microscopy
Advanced microscopy shows hair damage and keratin proteins' roles, aiding future cosmetic treatments.
research Hair follicle differentiation and regulation.
Hair follicle growth and development are controlled by specific genes and molecular signals.
research Biology of the wool follicle: an excursion into a unique tissue interaction system waiting to be re‐discovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
research The impact of oxidative stress on hair
Oxidative stress damages hair and contributes to aging, and managing it can help maintain hair health.
research The modern management of hirsutism
Effective hirsutism management requires identifying the cause, combining new and traditional treatments, and setting realistic expectations for patients.
research What Ages Hair?
Hair aging and loss are caused by genetics, hormones, environment, and grooming, with treatments like minoxidil effective for certain types of hair loss.
research Insights on the mechanical behavior of keratin fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
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 Solid state NMR of isotope labelled murine fur: a powerful tool to study atomic level keratin structure and treatment effects
Solid-state NMR can effectively study keratin structure and treatment effects in fur.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research Hair resistance to mechanical wear
Hair's resistance to wear varies by ethnicity and treatment, with less wear indicating stronger hair.
