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 Age-associated thin hair displays molecular, structural and mechanical characteristic changes
Older thin hair is not just thinner but also has different shape, structure, and stiffness.
research Formation and Structure of Human Hair
Human hair growth and structure are influenced by keratin proteins, genes, melanin, and lipids.
research The structure of people’s hair
Hair's molecular structure is mostly consistent, but genetic differences affect lipid types, which could help diagnose diseases.
research Hair: Its structure and response to cosmetic preparations
Hair can be damaged by daily routines, but protein-based products can protect and improve it.
research Measuring changes in chemistry, composition, and molecular structure within hair fibers by infrared and Raman spectroscopic imaging
Infrared and Raman imaging can non-destructively analyze hair structure and help diagnose hair conditions.
research Structural analysis of the outermost hair surface using TOF-SIMS with gas cluster ion beam sputtering
The hair's outermost surface has multiple layers of lipids and proteins.
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 Evaluation and formulation of Spirulina platensis proteins for potential applications in hair care products
Spirulina proteins can improve hair smoothness and strength in hair care products.
research Effect of Disulfide Bonds in Human Hair Fibers on the Melting Behavior of Their Crystalline Structure
Changing disulfide bonds in human hair affects its melting behavior and thermal stability.
research Insights on the Hair Keratin Structure Under Different Drying Conditions
Drying hair with a microfiber towel better maintains hair strength and structure than using a cotton towel or blow-drier.
research Exploring the Effects of Wetting and Free Fatty Acid Deposition on an Atomistic Hair Fiber Surface Model Incorporating Keratin-Associated Protein 5-1
Damaged hair allows water to penetrate more easily, and fatty acids from shampoos can deposit on hair surfaces.
research Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Analysis of Human Hair Fiber Structure
Human hair has different protein structures in its cuticle and cortex.
research Expression of SPARC (secreted protein acidic rich in cysteine) throughout the hair cycle in rats
SPARC likely aids in tissue remodeling during the hair cycle, not in starting new hair growth phases.
research Raman spectroscopy and electronic microscopy structural studies of Caucasian and Afro human hair
Hair treatments cause significant structural changes, especially with excessive heat, regardless of ethnicity.
research Expression analysis of the type I keratin protein keratin 33A in goat coat hair
Keratin 33A is a key protein in goat winter coats, especially in high-producing breeds.
research Autophagy Controls the Protein Composition of Hair Shafts
Autophagy changes the protein makeup of hair.
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 The Anti-Flyaway/Frizz Effect by Inducing the α-Helical Structure Transition of Hair
ATG effectively reduces hair frizz without damaging hair strength.
research Crosslinking structure of keratin. V. Number and type of crosslinks in microstructures of untreated and potassium cyanide treated human hair
Potassium cyanide treatment changes hair's disulfide bonds, making it more elastic.
research Crosslinking structure of keratin. V. Number and type of crosslinks in microstructures of untreated and potassium cyanide treated human hair
Potassium cyanide changes hair's disulfide bonds to monosulfide, affecting high-sulfur proteins more.
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 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 Differences between ultrastructure and protein composition in straight hair fibres
Lustre mutant sheep have normal hair structure and proteins but differ in felting properties.
research Molecular Evolution and Protein Structure Variation of Dkk Family
Dkk genes evolved faster in birds and reptiles, affecting hair development functions.
research Effects of repeated exposure to ozonated water on hair fibre structure and integrity: Part I
Ozonated water damages hair structure and proteins.
research CosmeticPotential of a Structural Protein CopolymerBased on Silk, Elastin, and Keratin
SELP::KP improves hair strength, elasticity, and health, making it a promising hair cosmetic.
research Solubility of Structurally Complicated Materials: 3. Hair
Hair is hard to dissolve because of its complex proteins, but certain solvents that break specific bonds and hydrate can do it.
research Protein and amino acid composition of hair from mice carrying the naked (N) gene
The N gene affects the protein makeup of mouse hair.
