research Preparation of hair follicle germs using centrifugal forces for hair regenerative medicine
Centrifugal forces can help prepare hair follicle germs for hair regeneration.
research Observation of different HHK groups with SEM
Different human hair keratin types have unique structures that affect how they dissolve and can be used to create self-tendons.
research Improved two‐dimensional electrophoretic mapping of Japanese human hair proteins; application to curved and straight Japanese human hairs; and protein identification by MALDI MS and MS/MS quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry
The study found that minor protein differences between curved and straight Japanese hair are unlikely to significantly affect hair structure.
research Intrinsic curvature in wool fibres is determined by the relative length of orthocortical and paracortical cells
Wool fibre curvature is due to longer orthocortical cells compared to paracortical cells.
research Study of the keratinization process in human hair follicle by X-ray microdiffraction.
Hair structure forms the same way inside and outside the body.
research Vertebral epidermal transamidases
Transamidases are present in the epidermis but their exact role is unclear.

Milia may come from the outer part of the hair follicle.
research Sequence analyses of Type I and Type II chains in human hair and epithelial keratin intermediate filaments: Promiscuous obligate heterodimers, Type II template for molecule formation and a rationale for heterodimer formation
Type I and Type II keratin chains can form heterodimers despite sequence differences.
research New Aspects of the Structure of Human Scalp Hair-II: Tubular Structure and Material Flow Property of the Medulla.
The medulla in Asian scalp hair has a tubular structure that allows ions and large molecules to flow through it.
research Exploring Mechanical Niches Identified by Hair Follicle Compression and How These Transduce Proliferation and Differentiation Cues in Epidermally Derived cells.
Less stiff collagen promotes higher cell growth in hair follicles.
research Water distribution in human hair microstructure elucidated by spin contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering
