The angora mouse mutation causes long hair and hair defects due to a gene deletion.
research Structural analysis of human hair single fibres by scanning microbeam SAXS
Hair curliness is due to uneven distribution of different cortices within the hair fiber.
research Structure–property relationships of meta-kerateine biomaterials derived from human hair
Protein composition greatly affects the function of keratin biomaterials.
research The role of disulfide bond formation in the structural transition observed in the intermediate filaments of developing hair
Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair structure during keratinization.
