Keratin-based hydrogels can be improved for medical use by adding PEG, making them more soluble and adjustable.
research Hair Extensions: Anatomic, Biological, and Clinical Implications in Alopecia
Hair extensions can damage scalp health and cause hair loss, especially with prolonged use.
research Tactile and hair-hair friction behavior of hair fibers
Hair feels different when touched and rubs together in various ways.
research Tactile sensitivity in the rat: a correlation between receptor structure and function
Rats have different touch receptors in their paws that help with movement and handling objects.
research Tolerance to uncertainty as a professional quality of a future sailor
Future sailors need to handle uncertainty well to succeed.
research 3P343 Change of cell membrane complex of a hair fiber caused by hair damage
Chemical treatments damage hair more than UV exposure, making it thinner and less flexible.
research Plasticity of epithelial stem cells in tissue regeneration
Epithelial stem cells can adapt and help in tissue repair and regeneration.
research Sustainable Biopolymer Based on Tung Oil and Tung Free Fatty Acids for Hair Tensile Enhancement
The TO-TF copolymer strengthens damaged hair effectively and sustainably.
research Secondary structure estimation and properties analysis of stretched Asian and Caucasian hair

research Potassium Channel Openers Increase Aortic Elastic Fiber Formation and Reverse the Genetically Determined Elastin Deficit in the BN Rat
Potassium channel openers help form elastic fibers in arteries and can treat elastin deficiency and hypertension.
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 Effect of a keratin coupling agent on the mechanical properties of a bovine hair-thermoplastic starch composite
Adding keratin to a mix of cow hair and plant-based plastic makes it stronger.
research Chelators Depigment and Inorease Elasticity of Mink Skin
Certain chelators lighten mink skin and hair, increase skin elasticity, and disrupt hair growth without affecting fur quality.
research Arrangement of elastic fibres in the integument of domesticated mammals.
Elastic fiber arrangement in mammal skin varies by hair density and body region.
research Characterization of the exocuticle a‐layer proteins of wool
The outer layer of Merino wool is rich in sulfur proteins, making it resistant to damage.
research Insights on the mechanical behavior of keratin fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research Role of tissue expansion in hair restorative surgery
Tissue expansion is a safe primary method for hair restoration in patients with large scalp defects before hair transplantation.
research 647 Alternative splicing factor Esrp1 controls homeostasis of skins by regulating barrier formation and function
Esrp1 is important for skin health by helping form and maintain the skin barrier.
research Moisture sorption/desorption of protein fibres
Internal lipids in keratin fibers, like wool and hair, reduce water absorption and release.
research The toughening transition in hair keratin
The observed "toughening" in keratin was actually due to water evaporation, not a real change in keratin.
research Mechanistic insights of desmopressin loaded elastic liposomes for transdermal delivery: HSPiP predictive parameters and instrumental based evidences
Desmopressin-loaded liposomes can effectively deliver drugs through the skin, improving bioavailability and patient compliance.
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 Spontaneous Super-Contraction of Animal Hair
Animal hair can curl tightly on its own, especially in foxes, due to changes in keratin.
