Stretched hair has a similar structure to natural silk, showing hair's elasticity involves reversible changes within its molecules.

Hair curliness is due to uneven distribution of different cortices within the hair fiber.

Disulfide bonds make keratin in hair stronger and tougher.

Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.

Internal lipids in keratin fibers, like wool and hair, reduce water absorption and release.

Hair is mostly made of three protein types: helical, high-sulfur, and high-tyrosine.

The new 3D imaging method accurately measures hair surface details quickly.

Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.

The effectiveness of reducing agents on hair fibers depends on their electrode potentials.

Hair increases in size when it absorbs water, and treatments like bleaching affect how much water it can take in.

Human hair keratin is a promising and sustainable biomaterial for tissue regeneration.

Microsporum gypseum fungus breaks down keratin in hair by digesting it enzymatically, starting with less keratinized parts.

Hair absorbs different substances from solutions based on pH levels.

The KRTAP11-1 gene promoter is crucial for specific expression in sheep wool cortex.

Keratin 33A is a key protein in goat winter coats, especially in high-producing breeds.

Treatments improved hair surface and scale structure but didn't increase certain bonds in the hair cortex.

Only two of the four keratin genes are expressed in wool fibers.

Different oils penetrate hair differently; monounsaturated oils like olive oil penetrate better than polyunsaturated oils.

All five hair fiber products improved appearance but didn't stick to completely bald areas.

Keratin-based scaffolds are safe and effective for tissue engineering.

Chemical hair straighteners can severely damage hair and scalp with repeated use.

Hair coloring and bleaching can permanently break down hair protein and temporarily change its properties.

Human hair keratin is a promising material for nerve repair.

A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.

The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.

The KRTAP21-2 gene affects wool length and quality in sheep.

Bleaching damages hair the most, while dyes improve combability but still cause protein loss.

A new method effectively visualizes keratin in hair without harsh chemicals.

The gene KAP22-1 affects wool yield and fiber shape in sheep.
