research Biology of Human Hair: Know Your Hair to Control It
Understanding hair biology is key to developing better treatments for hair and scalp issues.
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 A highly resistant structure between cuticle and cortex of human hair
A tough membrane between the outer and inner layers of human hair protects it from damage.
research Solid state NMR of isotope labelled murine fur: a powerful tool to study atomic level keratin structure and treatment effects
Solid-state NMR can effectively study keratin structure and treatment effects in fur.
research Molecular elements of the regulatory control of keratin filament modulator AHF/trichohyalin in the hair follicle
The study concluded that a protein important for hair strength is regulated by certain molecular processes and is affected by growth phases.
research Revisiting the significance of keratin expression in complex epithelia
Keratin genes change gradually during skin cell development and should be used carefully as biomarkers.
research Coenzyme Q10 has anti-aging effects on human hair
Coenzyme Q10 helps reduce aging in human hair.
research Stiffness of Human Hair Correlates with the Fractions of Cortical Cell Types
