30-60 / 1000+ resultsresearch Structure and Mechanical Properties of Human Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filament Protein
Disulfide bonds make keratin in hair stronger and tougher.
research Immunolocalization of junctional proteins in human hairs indicates that the membrane complex stabilizes the inner root sheath while desmosomes contact the companion layer through specific keratins
Junctional proteins stabilize the inner root sheath and connect the companion layer in human hair.
research In Vitro Assembly and Structure of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Scientists successfully created mouse hair proteins in the lab, which are stable and similar to natural hair.
research A general mathematical model for the in vitro assembly dynamics of intermediate filament proteins
The model shows that filament flexibility and amino acid differences affect how fast intermediate filament proteins assemble.
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.
