660-690 / 1000+ resultsresearch Fluorescence Microscopy Study of the Sorption of Cationic Polymers on Hair
Polymer JR400 sticks to hair but washes off with detergent.
research FGFR2 is associated with hair thickness in Asian populations
A gene variation is linked to hair thickness in Asians.
research Spatiotemporal dynamics of sensory neuron and Merkel-cell remodeling are decoupled during epidermal homeostasis
Merkel cells stabilize nerve endings in the skin, and they change independently of each other.
research Unilateral Beau's Lines Associatd with a Fingertip Crushing Injury
A man's crushed thumb caused unusual horizontal nail ridges on all fingers of one hand.
research The effect of changes in temperature on peripheral blood flow in systemic sclerosis
Warming hands improves blood flow in people with systemic sclerosis.
research Intrinsic curvature in wool fibres is determined by the relative length of orthocortical and paracortical cells
Wool fibre curvature is due to longer orthocortical cells compared to paracortical cells.
research Author response: Arabidopsis formin 2 regulates cell-to-cell trafficking by capping and stabilizing actin filaments at plasmodesmata
Arabidopsis Formin 2 stabilizes actin filaments, affecting cell-to-cell movement and virus susceptibility.
research Skin aging as a mechanical phenomenon: The main weak links
Skin aging is largely due to differences in stiffness and elasticity between skin layers, leading to wrinkles.
research WISP-1 induced by mechanical stress contributes to the fibrosis and hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum via the Hedgehog-Gli1 signaling
Mechanical stress causes ligament thickening through WISP-1 and Hedgehog signaling.
research Heat transfer in human hair
Heat transfer in hair is slower in groups of hair, increasing the risk of damage from high-temperature styling tools.
research J. Cosmet. Sci., 58, 629–636 (November/December 2007) Hair breakage during combing. IV. Brushing and combing hair
Brushing causes more long hair breaks than combing, especially with bleached or wet hair.
research [A longitudinal elasticity study of hair from the human head in forensic medicine].
The method effectively measures hair elasticity and could be useful in forensics.
research Iron deficiency in female pattern hair loss, chronic telogen effluvium, and control groups
No significant difference in iron deficiency between women with or without hair loss.
research Beyond Spectral Similarity: How to Distinguish Polymorphs with Similar Solid‐State Circular Dichroism Anisotropy Spectra?
A new method using solid-state circular dichroism anisotropy can distinguish similar chiral compounds better than traditional techniques.
research Peer Review #2 of "Secreted Frizzled-related protein 4 inhibits the regeneration of hair follicles (v0.1)"
A protein called sFRP4 can partly inhibit hair growth.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5α-reduction of androgens in the presence of progesterone in human gingival fibroblasts: modulatory actions of the alkaline phosphatase inhibitor levamisole
Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.
research The existence of a linear system consisting of sympathetic endings in rat skin
Rat skin has a linear system of nerve fibers linked to hair follicles and muscles.
research Effect of shampoo, conditioner and permanent waving on the molecular structure of human hair
Perming significantly changes hair's molecular structure, while shampoo and conditioner do not.
research Explaining and predicting the single channel versus multi-channel consumer: the case of an embarrassing product
The Theory of Planned Behaviour predicts consumer behavior better when emotions, personality, demographics, and marketing are included.
research Is neuronal inhibition or excitability controlled by Na+K+2CL– transporters?
NKCC1 transporters help control neuron excitability and inhibition.
research The penetration efficiency of a dissolved model drug into hair follicles depends on the concentration of added nanoparticles
