360-390 / 1000+ resultsresearch Effects of Intradermally Injected and Topically Applied Mouse Epidermal Growth Factor on Wool Growth, Skin and Wool Follicles of Merino Sheep
Mouse epidermal growth factor injections in sheep affected wool growth and skin, but saline did not.
research Curl Cream Development – A Pilot Study
Polisorbate 20 is not suitable for curl creams due to instability.
research [Electrophoretic studies of acid mucopolysaccharides in skin, prekeratin of hair follicles and in keratoses of wool].
Chondroitin sulphate is more abundant than hyaluronic acid in skin and hair samples, except in gamma-keratosis.
research Annotation of sheep keratin intermediate filament genes and their patterns of expression
Sheep have 17 keratin genes, similar to humans, but with different expression patterns affecting wool and hair.
research Evaluation of Cysteic Acid in Bleached Hair Using Infrared Spectroscopy
Bleaching hair increases cysteic acid levels in a predictable way.
research A modular modeling approach for investigating wool critical buckling from biologically variable along-fiber microstructure
The model helps understand how wool fiber structure affects its strength and flexibility.
research Scale Heights of Chemically Treated Wool and Hair Fibers
Chemical treatments can change the scale heights of wool and cashmere fibers, affecting their identification.
research Fiber Implantation for Pattern Baldness
Fiber implantation for baldness is not recommended because it causes many problems and doesn't work well.
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research Analyzing the laser‐light reflection from human hair fibers. II. Deriving a measure of hair luster
The conclusion is that a new method to measure hair shine was confirmed to match people's visual assessments.
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 Studies of light scattering from ethnic hair fibers
Different hair types from various ethnic groups affect hair shine due to characteristics like thickness and shape.
research Diffusion behavior of poly(ethylene imine) into keratin fibers using microspectrophotometry
PEI diffuses into hair at a constant rate, and urea speeds up this process.
research Investigation of the Changes in the Hair Cuticle Due to Chemical Degradation
Chemical treatments severely damage hair cuticles, especially in previously treated hair.
research Peer Review #2 of "Human hair shaft proteomic profiling: individual differences, site specificity and cuticle analysis (v0.1)"
The research found that people's hair proteins vary, especially by ethnicity and body part, which could help identify individuals in forensic science.
research Peer Review #1 of "Human hair shaft proteomic profiling: individual differences, site specificity and cuticle analysis (v0.1)"
The research found that people's hair proteins vary by individual and body part, with some differences between ethnic groups, which could help in forensics.
research Effect of Temperature and Humidity on Mechanical Properties of Rabbit Hair Fibers
Higher temperatures improve rabbit hair strength up to 50°C, but moisture weakens it.
research Effectiveness of luliconazole vs ketoconazole topical formulation in reversing damaged hair cuticle
Luliconazole is more effective than ketoconazole at repairing damaged hair cuticles.
research Development of a DNA-analytical Method for the Identification of Animal Hair Fibers in Textiles
Researchers developed a new method to identify animal hair in textiles, which is effective for various fibers and more reliable than previous methods.
research Reduction mechanism of L ‐cysteine on keratin fibers using microspectrophotometry and Raman spectroscopy
L-cysteine slows down the breaking of bonds in hair due to electrostatic interactions.
research Chemical modification of keratin fibers using 2‐iminothiorane hydrochloride
2-iminothiorane hydrochloride improves hair waving permanence without damage.
research Systems Approach to Human Hair Fibers: Interdependence Between Physical, Mechanical, Biochemical and Geometric Properties of Natural Healthy Hair

research Failure of intercellular adhesion in hair fibers with regard to hair condition and strain conditions
Hair breaks differently when wet or dry and is affected by its condition and treatments like perms and bleaching.
research A 6-Month, Prospective, Multi-arm Study for the Efficacy of Standardized Nutraceuticals to Improve Hair Fiber Thickness and Strength
Nutrafol® nutraceuticals improve hair thickness and strength.
research Hair today, gone tomorrow: the degradation and conservation of archaeological hair fibers
Acidic sandy clay damages archaeological hair the most, while dry conditions preserve but make it brittle; silicone oil can help keep the hair flexible.
research Luxury Hair Fibers for Fashion Industry
