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 Reproduction Mechanism of SS Cross-Links in Permed Hair by the Washing after Reduction with Thioglycolic Acid
Washing permed hair after using thioglycolic acid helps reform strong bonds, making hair stronger.
research Thermal and mechanical transitions in keratins and their relevance for hair cosmetics
High temperatures and cosmetic processes can damage hair keratin, affecting its structure and strength.
research Characterisation of low abundance wool proteins through novel differential extraction techniques
New techniques helped identify rare wool proteins by reducing dominant ones.
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 Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research 2P546 Structural Analysis of Curly and Straight Human Hair Fibers by Scanning Microbeam SAXS(52. Bio-imaging,Poster Session,Abstract,Meeting Program of EABS & BSJ 2006)
Curly and straight hair differ in how their internal fibers are arranged.
research Cyclic hair-loss and regrowth in transgenic mice overexpressing an intermediate filament gene.
