research Molecular modeling and structural characterization of a high glycine–tyrosine hair keratin associated protein
The 3D structure of a key hair protein was modeled, revealing specific helical structures and stabilization features.
research The susceptibility of disulfide bonds to modification in keratin fibers undergoing tensile stress
Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.
research Thiol/disulfide homeostasis in patients with telogen effluvium: is oxidative stress important in the pathogenesis of telogen effluvium?
Oxidative stress is likely important in causing telogen effluvium, and antioxidants might help treat it.
research Homo- and heteropolymer self-assembly of recombinant trichocytic keratins
Recombinant keratins can form useful structures for medical applications, overcoming natural keratin limitations.
research Effect of equilibrium pH on the structure and properties of bleach‐damaged human hair fibers
Hair's structure and properties change with pH; acidic pH maintains strength and less swelling, while alkaline pH increases water content and swelling.
research Preparation of Water Soluble Wool Keratin and Its Application for Human Hair
Water-soluble wool keratin can protect human hair from damage during treatments.
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 Preparation and Characterization of Soluble Wool Keratin for Human Hair Care
CMADK reduces hair damage from bleaching and permanent waving.
research Keratin network modifications lead to the mechanical stiffening of the hair follicle fiber
Changes in keratin make hair follicles stiffer.
research Dynamically Cross-Linked Granular Hydrogels for 3D Printing and Therapeutic Delivery
The hydrogels are strong, self-healing, and good for 3D printing and delivering treatments.
research Biology of Human Hair: Know Your Hair to Control It
