30 / 1000+ resultsresearch A detailed mapping of the readily accessible disulphide bonds in the cortex of wool fibres
Researchers found that the most reachable bonds in wool fibers are near the ends of certain proteins, which help stabilize the fiber's structure.
research De novo filament formation by human hair keratins K85 and K35 follows a filament development pattern distinct from cytokeratin filament networks
Human hair keratins K85 and K35 create unique filament patterns important for early hair formation.
research Shorn Scalps and Perceptions of Male Dominance
Men with shaved heads are seen as more dominant but older and less attractive.
research Exploring the possibility of predicting human head hair greying from DNA using whole-exome and targeted NGS data
Hair greying is mainly influenced by age, with genetics playing a smaller role.
research Norman Orentreich, The Father of Hair Transplantation
Norman Orentreich pioneered hair transplantation, improving techniques over time for more natural results.
research Beard transplants and facial hair trends: why men are motivated to have surgery
Men are getting more beard transplants to look better and follow fashion trends.
research Men’s Use of Cosmetic Surgery and the Role of Traditional Masculinity Ideologies
Men who strongly follow traditional masculinity are more likely to have cosmetic surgery to feel powerful and successful.
research Missing Conflict of Interest Disclosure
The document corrects a missing conflict of interest and acknowledges a pioneer in hair transplantation and his other contributions.
research Odd-Looking Hair and Progressive Alopecia in Mother and Son
Mother and son diagnosed with a rare genetic hair loss condition with no effective treatment.
research InCISE : Instrument for Comprehensive Incisional and Surgical Evaluation
The InCISE score is a promising tool for assessing wound healing in head and neck surgery but needs more research for broader use.
research Study on Hair Distribution in Healthy Males for Hair Restoration Design
About 21.3% of young, healthy Chinese men experience hair loss. Hairlines are mostly linear or have a central protrusion. Hair is densest on the top and back of the head, and hair follicles usually have 1 or 2 hairs. This information can help in designing hair restoration procedures.
research Bidirectional binding property of high glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated protein contributes to the mechanical strength and shape of hair
High glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated proteins help make hair strong and maintain its shape.
research Complete Structure of an Epithelial Keratin Dimer: Implications for Intermediate Filament Assembly
The study revealed the detailed structure of a keratin dimer, aiding understanding of how intermediate filament proteins function.
research The susceptibility of disulfide bonds to modification in keratin fibers undergoing tensile stress
Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.
research Characterization of the Human Hair Shaft Cuticle–Specific Keratin-Associated Protein 10 Family
KRTAP10 proteins help form the hair shaft's tough outer layer by interacting with specific hair keratins.
research Mapping the accessibility of the disulfide crosslink network in the wool fiber cortex
Cysteines in wool fibers are accessible and form important disulfide bonds.
research Men’s use of cosmetic surgery and the role of traditional masculinity ideologies
Men use cosmetic surgery to feel and look better, often influenced by traditional masculinity ideals.

A rare gene variant causes hair and nail issues in a family.
research Parathyroid hormone linked to a collagen binding domain promotes hair growth in a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia in a dose-dependent manner
A hormone linked to collagen helps hair grow back in mice after chemotherapy, and may also prevent bone loss.
research Maintaining arc consistency using adaptive domain ordering
EREG therapy may help treat hair loss by promoting hair growth.
research Treatment of Alopecia Areata in Mice by Stimulating the Hair Follicles Using Parathyroid Hormone Agonists Linked to a Collagen Binding Domain
A protein combining parathyroid hormone and collagen helped hair regrow in mice with a hair loss condition.
research The medusa head: Dermoscopic diagnosis of woolly hair syndrome
A man with Woolly Hair Syndrome had very curly, fragile hair, and doctors used a special scalp examination to diagnose him without invasive tests.

The 190-kbp domain contains all human type I hair keratin genes, showing their organization and evolution.
research Complex Hair Cycle Domain Patterns and Regenerative Hair Waves in Living Rodents
Mice hair growth patterns get more complex with age and can change with events like pregnancy or injury.
research Local Flaps of the Head and Neck
The document concludes that local flaps are effective for reconstructive surgery in the head and neck, offering good skin match and function.
research A Bronze Head of the Fifth Century B.C.
The bronze head shows the high skill and beauty valued by ancient Greek sculptors.
research A Spontaneous Deletion within the Desmoglein 3 Extracellular Domain of Mice Results in Hypomorphic Protein Expression, Immunodeficiency, and a Wasting Disease Phenotype
A gene deletion in mice causes weak protein, immune issues, hair loss, airway problems, and wasting disease.
