A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.
research Facile General Injectable Gelatin/Metal/Tea Polyphenol Double Nanonetworks Remodel Wound Microenvironment and Accelerate Healing
New injectable hydrogels with gelatin, metal, and tea polyphenols help heal diabetic wounds faster by controlling infection, improving blood vessel growth, and managing oxidative stress.
research The location of the thioglycolic acid molecules in intrafibrillar unordered areas of the human hair keratin structure
Thioglycolic acid mainly affects the unordered areas in hair structure.
research Helical twist direction in the macrofibrils of keratin fibres is left handed
Keratin fibers in hair twist left-handed.
research Bicalutamide 25 mg associated with minoxidil 1 mg versus minoxidil 1 mg for female-pattern hair loss: A randomized double-blind clinical trial
Bicalutamide added no extra benefit over minoxidil alone for female-pattern hair loss.
research Structure of intermediate filament assembly in hair deduced from hydration studies using small-angle neutron scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
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 Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: annotated tables
Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: An update
The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Human FOXN1-Deficiency Is Associated with αβ Double-Negative and FoxP3+ T-Cell Expansions That Are Distinctly Modulated upon Thymic Transplantation
Thymic transplantation normalized some T-cells but not others, maintaining immune function.
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 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 Raman spectroscopy and electronic microscopy structural studies of Caucasian and Afro human hair
Hair treatments cause significant structural changes, especially with excessive heat, regardless of ethnicity.

Solid-state NMR can effectively study keratin structure and treatment effects in fur.
research Structural features of the α-type filaments of the inner root sheath cells of the guinea pig hair follicle
α-type filaments in guinea pig hair follicles have unique structural features.
research Porosity at Different Structural Levels in Human and Yak Belly Hair and Its Effect on Hair Dyeing
Yak belly hair has higher porosity and is less stiff than human hair, making it absorb dye better but less suitable as a direct substitute for hair dyeing.
research The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
research Androgen Receptor Antagonists (Antiandrogens) Structure-Activity Relationships
Antiandrogens like flutamide are effective in treating conditions like prostate cancer and hair loss, but there's a need for more potent versions. Understanding their structure can help develop better treatments.
research Structural and dynamic insights into substrate binding and catalysis of human lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase
The research explains how a human enzyme binds and processes its substrate, which could relate to its role in biological functions and hair loss.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
