research Dihydrotestosterone induces arterial stiffening in female mice
Dihydrotestosterone makes arteries stiffer in female mice by reducing estrogen receptor expression.
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 Luxury Hair Fibers for Fashion Industry
The industry should promote pure luxury hair fibers, improve technology, and diversify products to support growers and ensure sustainable use.
research From Design to Production: Applications of Polymer and Protein Nanofibers for Regenerating Tissue
FN nanofiber dressings improve wound healing and restore natural skin structure.
research Harnessing the Biomimetic Effect of Macromolecular Crowding in the Cell-Derived Model of Clubfoot Fibrosis

Aging scalp skin contributes to hair aging and loss, and more research is needed to develop better hair loss treatments.
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 Role of scalp health in achieving optimal hair growth and retention
Healthy scalp leads to better hair quality and less damage.
research An Investigation of Hair and its Keratin Associated Proteins using Advanced Light Microscopy
Advanced microscopy shows hair damage and keratin proteins' roles, aiding future cosmetic treatments.
