research Magnetic coiffure: Engineering of human hair surfaces with polyelectrolyte-stabilised magnetite nanoparticles
Scientists made human hair magnetic by coating it with special nanoparticles.
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 British Hair and Nail Society
Hair regrowth was seen in 83% of children with alopecia, immune system plays a role in the condition, and various treatments showed effectiveness for hair and nail disorders.
research Bio-Based Electrospun Fibers for Wound Healing
Bio-based electrospun fibers improve wound healing but face production and regulatory challenges.
research Hair Lipid Structure: Effect of Surfactants
Surfactants in shampoos and conditioners remove some but not all lipids from hair, and more research is needed to understand their full impact.
research Neural Mechanisms of Hair Growth Control
Nerves and chemicals in the body can affect hair growth and loss.
research Chapter 6 Fetal Skin Wound Healing
Fetal skin heals without scarring due to unique cells and processes not present in adult skin healing.
research Concise Review: Tissue-Engineered Skin and Nerve Regeneration in Burn Treatment
New methods for skin and nerve regeneration can improve healing and feeling after burns.
research Electrospun Nanofibers for Improved Angiogenesis: Promises for Tissue Engineering Applications
Electrospun nanofibers show promise for enhancing blood vessel growth in tissue engineering but need further research to improve their effectiveness.
research Shampoos: Ingredients, efficacy and adverse effects
Shampoos are designed to clean and improve hair and scalp health, with specific ingredients for different hair types and conditions.
research The Ethnic Differences of the Damage of Hair and Integral Hair Lipid after Ultra Violet Radiation
Asian hair is more resistant to UV damage due to higher lipid content.
research Design of a biofluid-absorbing bioactive sandwich-structured Zn–Si bioceramic composite wound dressing for hair follicle regeneration and skin burn wound healing
Wound dressing absorbs fluid, regenerates hair follicles, and heals skin burns.
research Sex steroid synthesis in human skin in situ: The roles of aromatase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein in the homeostasis of human skin
Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.
research Adaptations in the structure and innervation of follicle‐sinus complexes to an aquatic environment as seen in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris)
Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.
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 Dietary supplementation with Essential-oils-cobalt for improving growth performance, meat quality and skin cell capacity of goats
Essential-oils-cobalt improves goat growth and product quality.
research Culture of the human pilosebaceous unit, hair follicle and sebaceous gland
The article concludes that developing in vitro models for human hair structures is important for research and reducing animal testing, but there are challenges like obtaining suitable samples and the models' limitations.
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 Mapping the accessibility of the disulfide crosslink network in the wool fiber cortex
Cysteines in wool fibers are accessible and form important disulfide bonds.
research Review of the current understanding of the effect of ultraviolet and visible radiation on hair structure and options for photoprotection
UV radiation and visible light can damage hair, but there are ways to protect it.
research Melatonin-Loaded Nanocarriers: New Horizons for Therapeutic Applications
Melatonin-loaded nanocarriers improve melatonin delivery and effectiveness for various medical treatments.
research What Ages Hair?
Hair aging and loss are caused by genetics, hormones, environment, and grooming, with treatments like minoxidil effective for certain types of hair loss.
research Molecular modeling of hair keratin/peptide complex: Using MM‐PBSA calculations to describe experimental binding results
Electrostatic interactions mainly stabilize the binding of peptides to hair keratin.
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 Mechanisms underlying the action of self-assembling short-peptide nano-fiber gel scaffold materials in the aesthetic repair of burn wounds
Short-peptide gel scaffolds improve burn wound healing and hair growth.
research Modern artificial hair implantation: a pilot study of 10 patients
Artificial hair implantation is generally safe and can restore hair when other treatments fail, but some patients may experience side effects.
research Inhibitory effect of tianeptine on catagen induction in alopecia areata-like lesions induced by ultrasonic wave stress in mice
Tianeptine, an antidepressant, may prevent stress-induced hair loss in mice.
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 Effect of scalp position on tensile properties of single hair fibers
Hair strength is similar across different scalp areas, and not affected by age, gender, or hair thickness.
