Two specific genes are more active during hair growth in mice.
research Characterization of the proteins of guinea-pig hair and hair-follicle tissue
Guinea-pig hair and follicle proteins are mostly similar, but follicles have more group 2 proteins and fewer group 3 and 4 proteins.
research The Proteins of Normal and Aberrant Hair Keratins
Hair is mostly made of three protein types: helical, high-sulfur, and high-tyrosine.
research Influence of Oxidative and/or Reductive Treatment on Human Hair (I): Analysis of Hair-Damage after Oxidative and/or Reductive Treatment
Chemical treatments and daily stresses damage hair, especially the cuticle layer.
research A STUDY OF THE DIFFERENTIATION PRODUCTS OF THE HAIR FOLLICLE CELLS WITH THE ELECTRON MICROSCOPE.
Hair follicle cells become four types: medulla, cortex, cuticle, and inner root sheath.
research Prospective ultramorphological characterization of human hair by optical coherence tomography
OCT can identify hair structures, but chemical treatments can damage them.
research Bubble hair
Bubble hair deformity may be caused by hair shaft trauma and can improve with gentle hair care.
research Integral characterization of normal and alopecic hair at different degeneration stages by in-situ visible and chemical imaging
Alopecic hair has more irregular structures and chemical changes than normal hair, reducing its strength.
research Lipid loses and barrier function modifications of the brown‐to‐white hair transition
White hair has less lipid content and absorbs water differently than brown hair.
research Ultrastructural localization of hair keratins, high sulfur keratin-associated proteins and sulfhydryl oxidase in the human hair
Hair proteins change location and structure as hair cells mature.
research Secondary structure estimation and properties analysis of stretched Asian and Caucasian hair
Stretching damages Caucasian hair's structure more easily than Asian hair.
research Localization of S100A2, S100A4, S100A6, S100A7, and S100P in the human hair follicle.
Different S100 proteins have specific roles in various parts of the hair follicle.
research Why Mammal Body Hair Is an Evolutionary Enigma
The evolution of mammal body hair remains a mystery.
research Fundamental studies on the interaction between moisture and textiles. Part X. Moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers.
Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.
research A systematic review on the lipid composition of human hair
Lipids are crucial for healthy hair, protecting it from damage and breakage.
research Variations of scalp, pubic and axillary hair
Pubic hair is thicker than axillary and scalp hair, useful for forensic identification.
research Evidence for calcium soaps in human hair shaft revealed by sub-micrometer X-ray fluorescence
Calcium soaps are present in human hair and can be removed with acid.
research Immunohistochemical staining characteristics of epidermal appendages (hair follicles and eccrine sweat glands) to anti-epidermal keratin antisera
Hair follicles and sweat glands show different keratin staining patterns.
research Optical coherence tomography to evaluate the effects of oxidative hair dye on the fiber
Oxidative hair dye changes hair color and structure but doesn't weaken it.
research A Sensitive Assay for the Enzyme Activity in Hair Follicles and Epidermis that Catalyses the Peptidyl-Arginine-Citrulline Post-translational Modification
A more sensitive assay was developed to detect enzyme activity converting arginine to citrulline in hair follicles.
research Non‐invasive evaluation of hair interior morphology by X‐ray microscope
X-ray microscopy can non-invasively show hair structure changes after treatments, but it's less detailed than TEM and needs improvement.
