Frequent hair coloring and styling can damage hair and cause breakage or loss.
research Minoxidil specifically decreases the expression of lysine hydroxylase in cultured human skin fibroblasts
Minoxidil reduces lysine hydroxylase in skin cells.
research Lack of a gonadal or adrenal androgenic mechanism for the hypertrichosis produced by diazoxide, phenytoin and minoxidil
These drugs cause hair growth without affecting testosterone or adrenal hormones.
research Evaluating the antioxidant effects of human hair protein extracts
Human hair protein extracts can protect skin cells from oxidative stress.
research Examination of androgenetic alopecia with serum biomarkers
Serum biomarkers like insulin-like growth factor-1 and vitamin D may help diagnose androgenetic alopecia.

research Direct Observation of Hair Components Involved in Formation of Permanent Waves
Microfibrils are key for permanent waves, and hydrolyzed keratin improves wave formation and hair condition.
research Using platelet-rich plasma to treat hair loss and thinning
Injecting platelet-rich plasma into the scalp stimulates hair growth, increases hair density, and treats hair loss effectively with minimal side effects.
research Using platelet-rich plasma to treat hair loss and thinning
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections effectively treat hair loss and thinning in both men and women, with high satisfaction and no major side effects.
research Trichothiodystrophy
Trichothiodystrophy is a condition with brittle hair and various physical and mental issues due to low sulfur in proteins.
research Sulphation catalysed by the human cytosolic sulphotransferases - chemical defence or molecular terrorism?

research Recent advances in thiasteroids chemistry
New sulfur-containing steroid analogs show promise for more targeted medical treatments.
research A Rapid Extraction Procedure of Human Hair Proteins and Identification of Phosphorylated Species.
A new method quickly extracts and identifies proteins from hair and other keratin sources.
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 Activin Controls Skin Morphogenesis and Wound Repair Predominantly via Stromal Cells and in a Concentration-Dependent Manner via Keratinocytes
Activin helps skin growth and healing mainly through stromal cells and affects keratinocytes based on its amount.
research Specific receptor detection by a functional keratinocyte growth factor-immunoglobulin chimera.
