research Investigation of aging effects in human hair using atomic force microscopy
Aging makes hair thinner and rougher, with less clear edges.
research Microstructure of Defective Mink Guard Hair
Defective mink guard hairs have split tips and missing cuticle cells, causing a metallic sheen.
research Hair Follicles as Micro-Organs: MicroRNA-Mediated Control of Growth, Cycling, and Fiber Traits
MicroRNAs play a key role in controlling hair growth and quality in sheep and goats.
research Progenitor‐cell‐enriched micrografts as a novel option for the management of androgenetic alopecia
Micrografts promote hair growth in androgenetic alopecia treatment.
research Perspectives on Hair Evolution Based on Some Comparative Studies on Vertebrate Cornification
Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.
research Degradation of Human Hair by Papain
Papain and bisulfite break down human hair by dissolving parts of it.
research Compartmentation of Mitochondrial and Oxidative Metabolism in Growing Hair Follicles: A Ring of Fire
Growing hair follicles have high mitochondrial activity and ROS in specific regions, aiding hair formation.
research Ultrastructural Characteristics of Neonate Scalp Hair
Neonate scalp hair is thinner, lacks a medulla, and has smaller follicles compared to adult hair.
research Ultrastructural immunolocalization of involucrin in the medulla and inner root sheath of the human hair
Involucrin helps strengthen the inner parts of human hair.
research Structural investigation on damaged hair keratin treated with α,β-unsaturated Michael acceptors used as repairing agents
Treatments improved hair surface and scale structure but didn't increase certain bonds in the hair cortex.
research In situ tensile deformation characterization of human hair with atomic force microscopy
AFM helped show how hair changes under tension and the effects of damage and conditioner.
research Interaction of polypeptides with hair in different reducing environments
Small KP peptide improves hair without reducing agents, while larger proteins need them for better results.
research The Secrets of Beautiful Hair: Why is it Flexible and Elastic?
Beautiful hair is flexible and elastic due to its unique double-layered structure and can be enhanced with succinic acid treatment.
research A Raman spectroscopy investigation of the resilience of hair cuticular scales under uniaxial stress
Hair cuticles remain stable and resilient under stress due to strong protein content and crosslinking.
research Structure of intermediate filament assembly in hair deduced from hydration studies using small-angle neutron scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research Quantifying whole human hair scalp fibres of varying curl: A micro‐computed tomographic study
Human hair varies in structure based on curl type, with high curl hair showing the most differences.
research Expression and distribution patterns of spermine, spermidine, and putrescine in rat hair follicle
Polyamines are abundant in certain parts of rat hair follicles and may play a key role in hair growth.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Ultrastructural localization of hair keratins, high sulfur keratin-associated proteins and sulfhydryl oxidase in the human hair
Hair proteins change location and structure as hair cells mature.
research The Catalog of Human Hair Keratins
Human hair keratins were cataloged, showing their roles in hair differentiation stages.
research Localization of Cathepsins B, D, L, LAMP-1 and .MU.-Calpain in Developing Hair Follicles.
Lysosomal proteases and cytoplasmic enzymes help hair follicle cells develop and differentiate.
research A highly resistant structure between cuticle and cortex of human hair
A tough membrane between the outer and inner layers of human hair protects it from damage.
research Peer Review #2 of "Human hair shaft proteomic profiling: individual differences, site specificity and cuticle analysis (v0.1)"
The research found that people's hair proteins vary, especially by ethnicity and body part, which could help identify individuals in forensic science.
research The Hair Follicle: An Underutilized Source of Cells and Materials for Regenerative Medicine
Hair follicles are valuable for regenerative medicine and wound healing.
research Understanding the biochemical properties of human hair keratins : self-assembly potential and cell response
Human hair keratins can self-assemble and support cell growth, useful for biomedical applications.
research Distribution and Localization of Hydrophobic and Ionic Chemical Groups at the Surface of Bleached Human Hair Fibers
Bleaching hair removes its protective top layer and exposes more hydrophilic groups, changing its chemical surface and affecting how it interacts with products.
research Targeted expression of SV40 T antigen in the hair follicle of transgenic mice produces an aberrant hair phenotype
SV40 T antigen in hair follicles causes abnormal hair and health issues in mice.
research Histomorphological, Histochemical and Histoenzymic Studies on the Dermis of Skin of Goat (Capra hircus)
Goat skin has collagen, elastic, and reticular fibers, with hair follicles increasing in depth as goats age.
research Discovery of a sol–gel reinforcing the strength of hair structure: mechanisms of action and macroscopic effects on the hair
A small molecule can strengthen fine hair, making it more resistant and natural-feeling.
