420-450 / 1000+ resultsresearch Multiscale modelling of human hair
Human hair becomes weaker and stretches more easily at higher temperatures.
research The Binding of Small Molecules and Polymers to Keratin and Their Effects on the Physicochemical and Surface Properties of Hair Fibers
Certain small molecules and polymers can change hair's physical properties and how it feels by affecting the bonds within the hair.
research Effect of a keratin coupling agent on the mechanical properties of a bovine hair-thermoplastic starch composite
Adding keratin to a mix of cow hair and plant-based plastic makes it stronger.
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 The swelling behaviour of hair studied through the structural change of keratin protein during the permanent waving treatment
Hair structure changes immediately during perm treatment, with initial damage partially restored later.
research 3P343 Change of cell membrane complex of a hair fiber caused by hair damage
Chemical treatments damage hair more than UV exposure, making it thinner and less flexible.
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 Micropore-forming photocurable tissue adhesive promotes cell infiltration for wound healing
A new tissue adhesive helps wounds heal better by allowing more cells to enter.
research The toughening transition in hair keratin
The observed "toughening" in keratin was actually due to water evaporation, not a real change in keratin.
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 Laccase-catalyzed poly(tyrosine) grafting improves the performance of wool
Using laccase to add poly(tyrosine) to wool makes it less likely to shrink and stronger.
research Mechanical anisotropy of hair affected by genetic diseases highlights structural information related to differential crosslinking in keratins
research High spatial resolution study of human skin using synchrotron infrared microscopy: application to the penetration of external agents
External agents penetrate skin more easily in areas with fewer lipids, especially through hair follicles.
research Cross‐linked features of mouse pelage hair resistant to detergent extraction
Two mouse mutants have defective hair cuticle cross-linking.
research Sequence analyses of Type I and Type II chains in human hair and epithelial keratin intermediate filaments: Promiscuous obligate heterodimers, Type II template for molecule formation and a rationale for heterodimer formation
Type I and Type II keratin chains can form heterodimers despite sequence differences.
research Protein chains in hair and epidermal keratin IF: Structural features and spatial arrangements
research A new staining method for visualization of keratin filaments in hair fibre cross sections.
A new method effectively visualizes keratin in hair without harsh chemicals.
research The effects of hydrophobic modifications on the interaction of human hair with water
Hydrophobic modifications make human hair less affected by water.
research Harnessing the Biomimetic Effect of Macromolecular Crowding in the Cell-Derived Model of Clubfoot Fibrosis
The model helps test drugs for clubfoot fibrosis by mimicking cell environments and shows minoxidil reduces harmful collagen links.
research Magnetically driven formation of 3D freestanding soft bioscaffolds
Magnetic fields help create complex 3D soft structures for biomedical use.
research Human epidermal transglutaminase. Preparation and properties.
The enzyme from human skin can cross-link proteins and needs calcium to work.
research The combined use of minimally-cross linked hyaluronic acid skin booster and PDO smooth threads for lip rejuvenation (Lip boosting : A therapeutic approach)
The combined treatment improves lip texture, elasticity, and firmness for up to nine months.
research Insights on the mechanical behavior of keratin fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research Development of a three‐point cantilever bending technique to study the mechanical properties of hair styling ingredients
The technique helps measure how hair styling ingredients affect hair's stiffness and flexibility.
research Photo-Crosslinked and Photothermal Flammulina Velutipes Polysaccharide Hydrogel Loaded with Caffeic Acid-Copper Nanozyme for Diabetic Wound Healing
research A Novel Marker of Tissue Junctions, Collagen XXII
Collagen XXII is a marker for tissue junctions, aiding in structural integrity and found in muscles, heart, skin, and arthritic joints.
research Synthesis and cross-linking in the structure and growth of hair keratins
The molecular details of hair growth are not well understood.
research Skin-inspired phototherapeutic cryogel ameliorates infected wound healing by orchestrating mechanotransduction and immunomodulation
The cryogel effectively heals infected wounds and promotes tissue regeneration without scarring.
