30 / 1000+ resultsresearch 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 Local structure of human hair spatially resolved by sub-micron X-ray beam
Human hair has a new region with ordered filaments and the cuticle contains β-keratin sheets.
research Chapter 4 Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
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 Effect of disulfide bonds in human hair fibers on the melting behavior of their crystalline structure
Disulfide bonds affect the melting behavior of hair's crystalline structure, but hair retains some stability even after these bonds are broken.
research Organization and Expression of Hair Follicle Genes.
Hair growth is controlled by specific gene clusters and proteins, and cysteine affects hair gene expression in sheep.
research Intermediate filaments: regulation of gene expression and assembly
Intermediate filaments are crucial for cell structure and function, regulated by specific genes and proteins.
research Regulation of hard α-keratin mechanics via control of intermediate filament hydration: matrix squeeze revisited
Hard α-keratins stay stiff in water because the surrounding matrix keeps them dehydrated and strong.
research ‘Hard’ and ‘soft’ principles defining the structure, function and regulation of keratin intermediate filaments
Keratin filaments are crucial for cell structure and protection, with ongoing discoveries about their genes and functions.
research Three-dimensional architecture of macrofibrils in the human scalp hair cortex
Human hair has a complex, variable structure with a consistent matrix and double-twist pattern.
research The Viscoelastic Properties of Chemically Modified alpha-Keratins in Human Hair
Chemical modifications can alter hair's stability and flexibility, with hydrophobic interactions helping maintain structure in humid conditions.
research Strain and Strain Recovery of Human Hair from the Nano- to the Macroscale
Human hair can almost fully recover its structure within about 1,000 minutes after being stretched.
research The 'self recovery phenomenon' of oxidized hair
Oxidized hair can naturally regain strength and stability over six months.
research The Intermediate Filament Architecture as Determined by X-Ray Diffraction Modeling of Hard α-Keratin
Hard α-keratin in hair has a unique, nonordered structure, different from other fibers.
research Cortical cell types and intermediate filament arrangements correlate with fiber curvature in Japanese human hair
Hair curvature in Japanese people is linked to specific cell types and filament arrangements in the hair cortex.
research <i>In vitro</i> Assembly Properties of Human Type I and II Hair Keratins
Different combinations of human hair keratins affect how hair fibers form.
research Water distribution in human hair microstructure elucidated by spin contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering
The technique showed that human hair has two main parts, with 68% being rigid and the rest flexible, and water swelling affects its structure.
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 DSC-investigations of alpha-keratins and the specific effects of chemical treatments on human hair
Chemical treatments weaken hair's thermal stability and structure.
