270-300 / 1000+ resultsresearch Chemical and physical treatments damage Caucasian and Afro‐ethnic hair fibre: analytical and image assays
Chemical and physical treatments like bleaching, dyeing, and UV radiation damage both Caucasian and Afro-ethnic hair.
research Exogen involves gradual release of the hair club fibre in the vibrissa follicle model
Hair sheds gradually from the follicle, with readiness to shed indicated by less attachment material.
research Association of the KAP 8.1 Gene Polymorphisms with Fibre Traits in Inner Mongolian Cashmere Goats
KAP8.1 gene variations affect cashmere weight in Inner Mongolian goats.
research Preliminary comparison of skin transcriptome from sheep with different wool fibre diameters
Lipid metabolism affects wool fiber diameter in sheep.
research Effects of repeated exposure to ozonated water on hair fibre structure and integrity: Part I
Ozonated water damages hair structure and proteins.
research Investigating the internal structure of sheep wool hair fibre using new microscopic techniques
Curly wool has more orthocortex than straight wool.
research Red LED light promotes hair follicle development to improve fibre quality in Su line Angora rabbit
Red LED light improves the quality of Angora rabbit wool by promoting hair growth.
research A new staining method for visualization of keratin filaments in hair fibre cross sections.
A new method effectively visualizes keratin in hair without harsh chemicals.
research In vitro methodology, hormonal and nutritional effects and fibre production in isolated ovine and caprine anagen hair follicles
Angora goat hair grows faster and produces more protein than cashmere goat hair, and certain hormones and nutrients positively affect hair growth and protein synthesis.
research Exploring Variation in Ovine KRTAP19-5 and Its Effect on Fine Wool Fibre Curvature in Chinese Tan Sheep
The KRTAP19-5 gene affects wool curvature in Chinese Tan sheep, with Variant B reducing curvature.
research A discrete transition zone between cuticle and cortex layers of a human hair fibre: changes observed in the presence of breast cancer
Breast cancer alters specific molecular structures in hair, which revert after cancer removal.
research An overview of chemical straightening of human hair: technical aspects, potential risks to hair fibre and health and legal issues
Chemical hair straightening can damage hair and health, needing safer alternatives and stricter regulations.
research The localisation and characterisation of insulin-like growth factor-I receptors and the investigation of melatonin receptors on the hair follicles of seasonal and non-seasonal fibre-producing goats
Goat hair follicles have insulin-like growth factor-I receptors that might affect hair growth, but no melatonin receptors were found.
research Detection of a Second KAP22 Family Member in Sheep and Analysis of Its Genetic Variation and Associations with Selected Wool Fibre Traits
The KRTAP22-2 gene in sheep does not significantly affect wool traits.
research Cyclic combing of untreated and bleached human hair: Analysis of the time‐dependent breakage of hair through recording the formation of fibre fragments
Friction causes hair breakage during combing, and fragment count predicts hair strength.
research Hair follicle group and skin follicle population of Australian Merino sheep
Certain hair follicle traits in Merino sheep may be inherited.
research Variation in the ovine keratin-associated protein 15-1 gene affects wool yield
Genetic variation in the KRTAP15-1 gene affects wool yield in sheep.
research Seasonal changes in the morphology of wool follicles in Finewool and Strongwool Merino strains grazing at different stocking rates in southern Australia
Stocking rate affects wool follicle inactivity, not Merino strain.
research The structural implications of water hardness metal uptake by human hair
Human hair absorbs calcium and magnesium from tap water, affecting its structure and styling properties.
research Effect of melatonin administration to lactating cashmere goats on milk production of dams and on hair follicle development in their offspring
Melatonin increases cashmere quality in goats but reduces their milk production and doesn't affect their offspring's hair growth.
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 Mechanistic Aspects of African Hair Relaxation
Relaxers straighten African hair by breaking down its helical structure using strong bases.
research Characterisation of Ovine KRTAP19-3 and Its Impact on Wool Traits in Chinese Tan Sheep
Specific gene variants affect wool traits in Chinese Tan sheep.
research DKK4 as a novel candidate marker for Zhexi Angora rabbit wool quality
DKK4 can be used to improve wool quality in Zhexi Angora rabbits.
research You cannot go bald without first, losing your hair: Telogen effluvium is a precursor to, prerequisite for and potentially an incitant to common baldness in men
Hair loss (telogen effluvium) happens before male pattern baldness.
research The kinetics of moisture sorption by hair
Hair absorbs moisture differently based on its structure and treatment, with changes occurring at 30% humidity.
research Diseases of the hair and scalp in the elderly
Aging can lead to poorer scalp and hair health, including less hair and more scalp diseases, which should be managed to help older people feel better.
research STUDIES OF SULPHUR, PHOSPHORUS AND SOME METALS IN SKIN FOLLICLES
Sulphur, phosphorus, and metals are distributed differently in animal skin follicles, with variations in detection speed and location.
research Trichorrhexis nodosa: a distinctive presentation after tumour necrosis factor-α inhibitor therapy
Etanercept may cause hair fragility and breakage.
