research Reimagining Hair Science: A New Approach to Classify Curly Hair Phenotypes via New Quantitative Geometrical & Structural Mechanical Parameters
New methods to classify curly hair types were developed based on shape and strength.
research Photoageing of Hair Fiber and Photoprotection
Sunlight damages hair, causing cuticle loss, protein changes, and discoloration.
research Characterization of the cysteine-rich calcium-binding S100A3 protein from human hair cuticles
Scientists found out how a specific protein in human hair cuticles behaves and is structured.
research Histological Study for Skin of Horse
Horse skin has a layered epidermis, a dermis with hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands, and is supplied by small arteries.
research Evidence for multiple, developmentally regulated isoforms of Ptprq on hair cells of the inner ear
Ptprq has multiple forms that change during inner ear development.
research 14. Wound Healing; Cutaneous Therapy; Hair
A device was made in 2008 to measure hair loss severity. Other findings include: frizzy mutation in mice isn't related to Fgfr2, C/EBPx marks preadipocytes, Cyclosporin A speeds up hair growth in mice, blocking plasmin and metalloproteinases hinders healing, hyperbaric oxygen helps ischemic wound healing, amniotic membranes heal wounds better than polyurethane foam, rhVEGF165 from a fibrin matrix improves tissue flap viability and induces VEGF-R2 expression, and bFGF enhances wound healing and reduces scarring in rabbits.
research Recent advances in electrospun nanofibers for wound healing
New nanofiber technology improves wound healing by supporting cell growth and delivering treatments directly to the wound.
research Organization of microfibrils in keratin fibers studied by X-ray scattering
The study improved understanding of keratin fiber structure by showing consistent microfibril diameter but varying distances and electron density profiles.
research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 2111In fond memory of Dr Peter Steinert.
A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Influence of Myosin Regulatory Light Chain and Myosin Light Chain Kinase on the Physiological Function of Inner Ear Hair Cells
NM2 and RLC phosphorylation are essential for normal inner ear hair cell function.
research The effects of melatonin treatment on wool production and hair follicle cycle in angora rabbits
Melatonin treatment increases wool production and improves fiber quality in angora rabbits.
research Expression of mesenchymal stem cell marker CD90 on dermal sheath cells of the anagen hair follicle in canine species
CD90 is present on specific cells in dog hair follicles.
research <i>Althaea officinalis</i> improves wound healing in rats: a stereological study
Althaea officinalis helps wounds heal faster in rats.
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 Use of hair pores to determine the orientation of collagen fibers in skin
A new method using hair pores can help align skin grafts better, improving results.
research Evaluation of Two Medium-Depth Peels: Glycolic Acid 70% Versus Trichloroacetic Acid 35%: A Histological and Immunohistochemichal Study on Rat Skin
