research Systems Approach to Human Hair Fibers: Interdependence Between Physical, Mechanical, Biochemical and Geometric Properties of Natural Healthy Hair
Hair properties are interconnected; a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary approach is essential for understanding hair behavior.
research Topical L‐thyroxine: The Cinderella among hormones waiting to dance on the floor of dermatological therapy?
Topical L-thyroxine may help with wound healing and hair growth but should be used short-term due to potential risks.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Hair can't be reliably repaired once damaged; prevention and proper product use are key to maintaining hair health.
research Reimagining Hair Science: A New Approach to Classify Curly Hair Phenotypes via New Quantitative Geometrical & Structural Mechanical Parameters
New methods to classify curly hair types were developed based on shape and strength.
research An Investigation of Hair and its Keratin Associated Proteins using Advanced Light Microscopy
Advanced microscopy shows hair damage and keratin proteins' roles, aiding future cosmetic treatments.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Cosmetic procedures can harm hair, but damage can be minimized with knowledge and care; however, once hair is damaged, it cannot be reliably repaired.
research Human hair keratin hydrogel : fabrication, characterization and application
Keratin hydrogels from human hair show promise for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
research Recent advances in electrospun nanofibers for wound healing
New nanofiber technology improves wound healing by supporting cell growth and delivering treatments directly to the wound.
research Perspectives on Hair Evolution Based on Some Comparative Studies on Vertebrate Cornification
Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.
research A modular modeling approach for investigating wool critical buckling from biologically variable along-fiber microstructure
The model helps understand how wool fiber structure affects its strength and flexibility.
research Chemical bonds and hair behaviour—A review
Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair's strength, especially when wet.
research Hair structure anatomy and comparative anatomy1 1Dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. R. E. Rivett whose untimely death prevented his role in co-authorship.

research The Proteins of Hair and Other Hard α-Keratins
research Thermal Induced Changes in Cuticle and Cortex to Chemically Treated Hair
Heat worsens damage in chemically treated hair, especially bleached and straightened hair.
research Bioinspired peptides designed for hair perming and dyeing with potential for repair
PepACS offers a safer, eco-friendly way to perm, dye, and repair hair.
research Direct evidence supporting the existence of a helical dislocation in protofilament packing in the intermediate filaments of oxidized trichocyte keratin
Oxidized trichocyte keratin has a helical dislocation in its structure.
research A Raman spectroscopy investigation of the resilience of hair cuticular scales under uniaxial stress
Hair cuticles remain stable and resilient under stress due to strong protein content and crosslinking.
research The proteomics of keratin proteins
Modern techniques have improved the understanding of keratin proteins, revealing their roles in various cells and potential in disease diagnosis.
research Release systems based on self-assembling RADA16-I hydrogels with a signal sequence which improves wound healing processes
Self-assembling RADA16-I hydrogels with bioactive peptides significantly improve wound healing.
research Monitoring of Wool Stretching Process Using Polarized Second Harmonic Generation
Stretching wool changes its structure and improves fiber alignment.
research Using proteomics to compare the molecular structures of sulfide and permeate-depilated sheepskins
The conclusion is that using bovine milk permeate to remove wool from sheepskins is eco-friendly and results in smoother, higher quality leather compared to traditional sulfide methods.
research Mechanical anisotropy of hair affected by genetic diseases highlights structural information related to differential crosslinking in keratins
research Expression patterns of keratin intermediate filament and keratin associated protein genes in wool follicles
Gene expression in wool follicles changes with growth cycles, offering insights into wool and human hair growth.
research Wanted, dead and alive: Why a multidisciplinary approach is needed to unlock hair treatment potential
Different fields of expertise must work together to better understand hair growth and create effective hair loss treatments.
research Curly Hair Follicle is Sculpted by a Contracted Arrector Pili Muscle. A Hypothesis with Treatment Implications
Relaxing certain muscles might straighten curly hair.
