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 Discussion: Themes in the Molecular Structure of Hair
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair structure and strength.
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 Genetics of Structural Hair Disorders
The document concludes that over 500 genes are linked to hair disorders and this knowledge is important for creating new treatments.
research A Case of Hair Structure Abnormality Associated with Iron Deficiency Anaemia
Iron deficiency can cause hair abnormalities, but taking iron can fix them and stop hair loss.
research WNT Signaling in the Control of Hair Growth and Structure
The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.
research Hair colouring, permanent styling and hair structure
Frequent hair coloring and styling can damage hair and cause breakage or loss.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: An update
The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
research Hair shaft structures in EDAR induced ectodermal dysplasia
The EDAR gene mutation leads to thinner and more deformed hair shafts.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: annotated tables
Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.
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 Structural analysis of human hair fibers under the ultra‐high voltage electron microscope
Human hair structure varies by ethnicity, and certain treatments can improve hair condition and appearance.
research Structural abnormalities of the hair shaft
The document concludes that understanding hair structure is key to diagnosing hair abnormalities and recommends gentle hair care for management.
research Structural features of the α-type filaments of the inner root sheath cells of the guinea pig hair follicle
α-type filaments in guinea pig hair follicles have unique structural features.
research Molecular modeling and structural characterization of a high glycine–tyrosine hair keratin associated protein
The 3D structure of a key hair protein was modeled, revealing specific helical structures and stabilization features.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research pH Dependence of the Coiled-Coil Structure of Keratin Intermediate Filament in Human Hair by 13C NMR Spectroscopy and the Mechanism of Its Disruption
Keratin structure in hair is stable at pH 5-6 but disrupts between pH 6-7.
research Normal and Aging Hair Biology and Structure ‘Aging and Hair'
Hair gets thinner, grayer, and changes texture with age due to genetics, environment, and cellular changes, affecting the growth cycle.
research Structure and hair follicle-specific expression of genes encoding the rat high sulfur protein B2 family
The B2 genes are crucial for hair growth in rats.
research Dose-Dependent Histopathological and Structural Impact of Chemical Hair-Straighteners on Scalp Epithelium and Hair-Fibres Using Albino Wistar Rats
Chemical hair straighteners can severely damage hair and scalp with repeated use.
research Internal structure changes in bleached black human hair resulting from chemical treatments: A Raman spectroscopic investigation
Chemical treatments on bleached black hair change its internal structure by breaking and reforming bonds, and treatments with hydrolyzed eggwhite protein help repair it.
research Hair follicles as a target structure for nanoparticles
Nanoparticles around 600-700 nm can effectively enter and stay in hair follicles for days, which may help in delivering drugs to specific cells.
research Proteomic tools for the investigation of human hair structural proteins and evidence of weakness sites on hair keratin coil segments
Hair proteins have weak spots in their α-helical segments.
research Trichoscopy findings in loose anagen hair syndrome: rectangular granular structures and solitary yellow dots
Rectangular black granules, solitary yellow dots, and mostly single-hair follicles suggest Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome.
research Structural Abnormalities in the Hair of a Patient with a Novel Ribosomopathy
The patient's hair was thinner and had fewer lipids due to a genetic mutation.
research Influence of Amino Acids on the Hair Structure Before and During Chemical Treatments
Amino acids like arginine and cysteine protect hair during chemical treatments, keeping it strong and less brittle.
