990-1000 / 1000+ resultsresearch 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 Biphasic Effect of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 on Human Hair Follicle Growth and Hair Fiber Production in Whole-Organ Cultures
Small amounts of Vitamin D3 can boost hair growth, but too much can stop it.
research Seasonal fiber growth cycles of ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) and long‐term effects of melatonin treatment
Melatonin treatment made ferrets grow their fur earlier and affected their breeding time.
research Novel Collagen Sponge Reinforced with Polyglycolic Acid Fiber Produces Robust, Normal Hair in Murine Hair Reconstitution Model
PGA fiber-reinforced collagen sponges improve hair growth and skin structure.
research Photoageing of Hair Fiber and Photoprotection
Sunlight damages hair, causing cuticle loss, protein changes, and discoloration.
research Grey hair: clinical investigation into changes in hair fibres with loss of pigmentation in a photoprotected population
Grey hair is wilder, drier, and less manageable than pigmented hair.
research Location of keratin-associated proteins in developing fiber cuticle cells using immunoelectron microscopy
Keratin-associated proteins are part of the developing hair fiber cuticle.
research Elucidating penetration pathways into the hair fiber using novel microscopic techniques.
The conclusion is that substances can penetrate hair fibers through multiple pathways, including both the cell membrane complex and the non-keratinous parts.
research High-throughput phenotyping methods for quantifying hair fiber morphology
Hair fiber shape and curvature are not significantly linked when ancestry is considered.
