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 A discrete transition zone between cuticle and cortex layers of a human hair fibre: changes observed in the presence of breast cancer
Breast cancer alters specific molecular structures in hair, which revert after cancer removal.
research Comprehensive analysis of differences in cashmere production performance in Liaoning cashmere goats by using metabolomics and transcriptomics
Liaoning cashmere goats grow more cashmere by boosting fat production, supporting hair structure, and controlling inflammation.
research Biomimetics Through Bioconjugation of 16- Methylheptadecanoic Acid to Damaged Hair for Hair Barrier Recovery
16-MHA can restore the barrier and moisture of damaged hair, making it similar to undamaged hair.
research Hair today, gone tomorrow: the degradation and conservation of archaeological hair fibers
Acidic sandy clay damages archaeological hair the most, while dry conditions preserve but make it brittle; silicone oil can help keep the hair flexible.
research Exploring the effects of wetting and free fatty acid deposition on an atomistic hair fiber surface model incorporating Keratin Associated Protein 5-1
Water and fatty acids affect hair's surface differently based on hair damage, and models can help understand hair-cosmetic interactions.
research Normal Fur Development and Sebum Production Depends on Fatty Acid 2-Hydroxylase Expression in Sebaceous Glands
FA2H is essential for normal fur and sebum production in mice.
research Proteins as Hair Styling Agents
Proteins like BSA and keratin can effectively style hair and protect it, offering eco-friendly alternatives to chemical products.
research Research Progress in Composition, Classification and Influencing Factors of Hair
Lipids are important for healthy hair, but their exact role is not fully understood and needs more research.
research Monitoring of Wool Stretching Process Using Polarized Second Harmonic Generation
Stretching wool changes its structure and improves fiber alignment.
research Untargeted hair lipidomics: comprehensive evaluation of the hair-specific lipid signature and considerations for retrospective analysis
research Discrete Nanoscale Distribution of Hair Lipids Fails to Provide Humidity Resistance
Hair lipids do not protect against humidity.
research Hair Lipid Structure: Effect of Surfactants
Surfactants in shampoos and conditioners remove some but not all lipids from hair, and more research is needed to understand their full impact.
research Comprehensive transcriptome and methylome analysis delineates the biological basis of hair follicle development and wool-related traits in Merino sheep
Key genes and factors crucial for hair follicle development and wool traits in Merino sheep were identified.
research TMT-based quantitative proteomics reveals the genetic mechanisms of secondary hair follicle development in fine-wool sheep
Key proteins influence wool quality by affecting hair follicle development in sheep.
research Distribution of Glycolipid and Unsaturated Fatty Acids in Human Hair
Human hair has more unsaturated fats inside than on the surface, and certain lipids may help bind the outer and inner layers together.
research A systematic method for the sensitive and specific determination of hair lipids in combination with chromatography
A new method accurately measures hair lipids, revealing individual differences.
research Anti-keratin Monoclonal Antibodies for Identifying Animal Hair Fibers
Scientists made antibodies to tell cashmere and wool apart, which could improve how we identify animal fibers.
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 Altered hair root gene expression profiles highlight calcium signaling and lipid metabolism pathways to be associated with curly hair initiation and maintenance in Mangalitza pigs
Genes related to calcium signaling and lipid metabolism are important for curly hair in Mangalitza pigs.
research Screening of Protein Related to Wool Development and Fineness in Gansu Alpine Fine-Wool Sheep
Key proteins and pathways are crucial for wool fineness, but more research is needed.
research Genomic Regions Associated with Wool, Growth and Reproduction Traits in Uruguayan Merino Sheep
Certain genes influence wool, growth, and reproduction traits in Uruguayan Merino sheep.
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 Identification of skin-expressed genes possibly associated with wool growth regulation of Aohan fine wool sheep
Certain genes and proteins may influence wool growth in Aohan fine wool sheep.
