60-90 / 1000+ results research Three-dimensional architecture of macrofibrils in the human scalp hair cortex
Human hair has a complex, variable structure with a consistent matrix and double-twist pattern.
research The human hair: from anatomy to physiology
The document concludes that hair is complex, with a detailed growth cycle, structure, and clinical importance, affecting various scientific and medical fields.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Helical twist direction in the macrofibrils of keratin fibres is left handed
Keratin fibers in hair twist left-handed.
research Macrofibril Formation
research Ultrastructural Localization of Hair Keratins in Human Scalp Hair Shafts as Revealed by Rapid-Freezing Immunocytochemistry.
Hair keratins are mainly on macrofibrils in the cortex and in the endocuticle in the cuticle.
research Cornified Epithelial Teeth of Jawless Vertebrates Contain Proteins Similar to Keratin-Associated Proteins of Mammalian Skin Appendages
Jawless vertebrates have teeth proteins similar to those in mammalian hair and nails.
research Biocompatibility of KAPs-Depleted Residual Hair
KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.
research Hair follicle differentiation and regulation.
Hair follicle growth and development are controlled by specific genes and molecular signals.
research Wool Keratin-Associated Protein Genes in Sheep—A Review
Understanding wool keratin-associated proteins in sheep can help improve wool quality through selective breeding.
research Organization and Expression of Hair Follicle Genes.
Hair growth is controlled by specific gene clusters and proteins, and cysteine affects hair gene expression in sheep.
research Location of keratin-associated proteins in developing fiber cuticle cells using immunoelectron microscopy
Keratin-associated proteins are part of the developing hair fiber cuticle.
research Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds—Revisiting the cause of a well-known disease
Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds is caused by structural defects in hair shafts due to downregulated genes and proteins.
research Hard Keratin IF and Associated Proteins
research Crosslinking Between Trichocyte Keratins and Keratin Associated Proteins
research Trichohyalin, an intermediate filament-associated protein of the hair follicle.
Trichohyalin is a protein in hair follicles that helps form hair filaments.
research A Prospective Study of Dermoscopic and Ultrastructural Features of Vitiligo-Associated Leukotrichia
The study found that white hair in vitiligo has specific patterns and structures, which vary with the stage of the disease and may be similar to another hair condition.
research Poly-D,L-Lactic Acid Filler Restores Hair Thickness and Shine by Ameliorating Age-Associated Follicular Decline
PDLLA filler can improve hair thickness and shine by reducing age-related hair decline.
research The swelling behaviour of hair studied through the structural change of keratin protein during the permanent waving treatment
Hair structure changes immediately during perm treatment, with initial damage partially restored later.
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 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 Secrets of Beautiful Hair: Why is it Flexible and Elastic?
Beautiful hair is flexible and elastic due to its unique double-layered structure and can be enhanced with succinic acid treatment.
research Structural Hierarchy of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair growth and structure.
research Ageing processes influence keratin and KAP expression in human hair follicles
Aging causes changes in hair follicles, leading to weaker hair growth.
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 A methodological exploration of distinguishing hair quality based on hair proteomics
Bleaching damages hair by reducing the quality of keratin and keratin-associated proteins.
