research Chronological ageing of human hair keratin fibres
Hair ages as the cuticle wears down, especially beyond 1 meter from the root, affecting its strength and shine.
research Evolution of hard proteins in the sauropsid integument in relation to the cornification of skin derivatives in amniotes
Hard skin features like scales, feathers, and hair evolved through specific protein changes in different animal groups.
research Protein extraction from human anagen head hairs 1-millimeter or less in total length
A new method was developed to extract and analyze proteins from very short human hairs.
research Structural Hierarchy of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair growth and structure.
research The susceptibility of disulfide bonds to modification in keratin fibers undergoing tensile stress
Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.
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 Biocompatibility of KAPs-Depleted Residual Hair
KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.
research The biology and genetics of curly hair
Curly hair is influenced by specific genetic variations.
research Strategies for improved hair binding: Keratin fractions and the impact of cationic substructures
Certain treatments can increase protein binding to natural hair but are less effective on permed hair.
research Age-associated thin hair displays molecular, structural and mechanical characteristic changes
Older thin hair is not just thinner but also has different shape, structure, and stiffness.
research Evolution of Trichocyte Keratins
Hair keratins evolved from ancient proteins, diversifying through gene changes, crucial for forming claws and later hair in mammals.
research Transcriptome Analysis of Improved Wool Production in Skin-Specific Transgenic Sheep Overexpressing Ovine β-Catenin
