research Heat‐damaged evaluation of virgin hair
Heat damages hair, with Asian hair losing more protein than Caucasian hair.
research Crosslinking Between Trichocyte Keratins and Keratin Associated Proteins
research Microscopical characterization of known postmortem root bands using light and scanning electron microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research A function for Rac1 in the terminal differentiation and pigmentation of hair
Rac1 is essential for proper hair structure and color.
research The hair shaft: normality, abnormality, and genetics
Hair microscopy is useful for diagnosing hair disorders, but clear definitions are needed for accurate genetic analysis.
research Recent advances in preparation and biomedical applications of keratin based biomaterials
Keratin-based biomaterials are promising for wound healing, drug delivery, and nerve regeneration due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility.
research The expression of equine keratins K42 and K124 is restricted to the hoof epidermal lamellae of Equus caballus
