330-360 / 1000+ resultsresearch Regulation of hard α-keratin mechanics via control of intermediate filament hydration: matrix squeeze revisited
Hard α-keratins stay stiff in water because the surrounding matrix keeps them dehydrated and strong.
research Gradually or immediately? The effects of ad type and fresh start mindset on health persuasion
Ads showing gradual change work better for people less focused on new beginnings, while ads showing immediate change work better for those highly motivated by fresh starts.
research Adsorption of Diclofenac and PFBS on a Hair Keratin Dimer
Human hair keratin might be good for filtering out harmful substances from water.
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 Fracture in Hierarchical Biomaterials: Human Hair
Human hair's structure makes it tough and resistant to breaking.
research 199 Hand preference and sexual orientation as useful elements to predict finasteride side effects in male androgenic alopecia
research Micro-mechanical approaches to characterize tip growth: Insights into root hair elasto-viscoplastic properties
Root hair growth mechanics depend on turgor pressure and cell wall properties.
research Human hair keratin network and curvature
Curly hair shape is due to uneven growth patterns in the hair follicle.
research Characteristic Microstructure of Curved Human Hair
Curved human hair has different structures on each side, which might cause its shape and is similar to wool.
research Conformational differences in protein disulfide linkages between normal hair and hair from subjects with trichothiodystrophy: A quantitative analysis by Raman microspectroscopy
TTD hair is brittle due to fewer sulfur amino acids and unstable disulfide bonds.
research Symmetry breaking of tissue mechanics in wound induced hair follicle regeneration of laboratory and spiny mice
Tissue stiffness affects hair follicle regeneration, and Twist1 is a key regulator.
research The 5-alpha reductase inhibitor finasteride reduces dyskinesia in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease
Finasteride reduces movement issues in Parkinson's disease rats.
research Hair as Displacement Record and Social Token: The Shaft as Temporal Archive, Natural Hair as S0_appearance, and Modification as Signal Displacement
Natural hair is a return to its original state, while modifications signal social pressures.
research Systems Approach to Human Hair Fibers: Interdependence Between Physical, Mechanical, Biochemical and Geometric Properties of Natural Healthy Hair
Hair properties are interconnected; a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary approach is essential for understanding hair behavior.
research Water distribution in human hair microstructure elucidated by spin contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering
The technique showed that human hair has two main parts, with 68% being rigid and the rest flexible, and water swelling affects its structure.
research Inhibition of 5α-reductase attenuates behavioral effects of D1-, but not D2-like receptor agonists in C57BL/6 mice
Finasteride reduces certain behaviors caused by D1-like receptor agonists but not by D2-like receptor agonists in mice.
research Regulation of Receptor Binding Specificity of FGF9 by an Autoinhibitory Homodimerization
FGF9 controls which receptors it binds to through a process where two FGF9 molecules join, and changes in FGF9 can lead to incorrect receptor activation.
research Effect of Rubbing on the Distribution of Topically Applied Drugs into the Hair Follicles
Rubbing increases drug absorption through hair follicles.
research When whorls collide: the development of hair patterns in frizzled 6 mutant mice
Hair follicles in mutant mice self-organize into ordered patterns within a week.
research Cuticle damage and the tensile properties of human hair
