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 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 The adsorption behavior of cationic surfactant onto human hair fibers
A certain surfactant sticks to human hair, making it change from water-repelling to water-attracting, which could help in hair conditioning.
research The Application of Radiochemical Techniques to the Study of the Interaction of Hair Fibers with Aqueous Solutions
Hair absorbs different substances from solutions based on pH levels.
research Tribological Properties between Taut Hair Fibers in Wet Conditions: A New Shampoo Formulation for Eliminating Stick‐Slip Friction
Shampoo B, which uses water-soluble silicone, is better at detangling hair in wet conditions due to its two-layer conditioning film.
research Quantifying Polymer Deposition on Hair Fibers by Microfluorometry
Microfluorometry effectively measures how much polymer coats and penetrates hair, useful for evaluating hair products.
research A discourse on human hair fibers and reflections on the conservation of drug molecules
Hair analysis for drugs needs a better understanding of how drugs enter hair, considering factors like hair structure and pigmentation.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research Mechanical forces across compartments coordinate cell shape and fate transitions to generate tissue architecture
Mechanical forces are crucial for shaping cells and forming tissues during development.
research Self Organized Skin Equivalent by Epithelial and Fibroblast Cells on Polycaprolactone Electrospun Mat with Porous Fibers
Researchers created a potential skin substitute using a biodegradable mat that supports skin cell growth and layer formation.
research Light scattering from human hair fibers
Researchers developed a new model for more realistic computer graphics rendering of hair by considering how light scatters on hair fibers.
research Light scattering from human hair fibers
Researchers developed a new model for more realistic computer graphics of hair by considering how light scatters on hair fibers.
research Fiber-Safe Extraction of Red Mordant Dyes from Hair Fibers
A new method extracts red dyes from wool without damaging it, although it slightly weakens the wool.
research Application of amber filler for production of novel polyamide composite fiber
Adding amber particles to polyamide fibers makes them suitable for medical textiles like compression socks.
research Systems Approach to Human Hair Fibers: Interdependence Between Physical, Mechanical, Biochemical and Geometric Properties of Natural Healthy Hair
Hair properties are interconnected; a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary approach is essential for understanding hair behavior.
research Inhalation therapy for repairing damaged elastin fibers and decelerating elastinolysis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Inhalation therapy may repair and protect elastin in the lungs of COPD patients.
research Seasonal variation in hair follicle activity and fibre growth of both male and female Merghoz goats in Western Iran
Goat hair growth and follicle activity change with the seasons and differ between males and females.
research High-throughput phenotyping methods for quantifying hair fiber morphology
Hair fiber shape and curvature are not significantly linked when ancestry is considered.
research Effect of age and sex on fiber and follicle characteristics of an Iranian native sheep
As sheep age, their hair fibers and follicles grow larger and more organized, with no significant differences between males and females.
research Volume Changes During Water Binding to Hair Fibers
Hair increases in size when it absorbs water, and treatments like bleaching affect how much water it can take in.
research Influence of Myosin Regulatory Light Chain and Myosin Light Chain Kinase on the Physiological Function of Inner Ear Hair Cells
NM2 and RLC phosphorylation are essential for normal inner ear hair cell function.
research Exploring the effects of wetting and free fatty acid deposition on an atomistic hair fiber surface model incorporating Keratin Associated Protein 5-1

research A modular modeling approach for investigating wool critical buckling from biologically variable along-fiber microstructure
The model helps understand how wool fiber structure affects its strength and flexibility.
research Development of gene therapy for inner ear disease: Using bilateral vestibular hypofunction as a vehicle for translational research
Gene therapy, especially using atoh1, shows promise for creating functional sensory hair cells in the inner ear, but dosing and side effects need to be managed for clinical application.
research Fundamental studies on the interaction between moisture and textiles. Part X. Moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers.
Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.
