research Heat‐damaged evaluation of virgin hair
Heat damages hair, with Asian hair losing more protein than Caucasian hair.
research Comparative genomics of the keratin-associated protein (KAP) gene clusters in human, chimpanzee, and baboon
KAP genes are crucial for hair development and show both shared and unique traits in humans, chimpanzees, and baboons.
research The toughening transition in hair keratin
The observed "toughening" in keratin was actually due to water evaporation, not a real change in keratin.
