research Reimagining Hair Science: A New Approach to Classify Curly Hair Phenotypes via New Quantitative Geometrical & Structural Mechanical Parameters
A new system for classifying curly hair types using precise measurements can improve hair care products and cultural inclusion.
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 Microscopical characterization of known postmortem root bands using light and scanning electron microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Helical twist direction in the macrofibrils of keratin fibres is left handed
Keratin fibers in hair twist left-handed.
research Moisture sorption/desorption of protein fibres
Internal lipids in keratin fibers, like wool and hair, reduce water absorption and release.
research Nucleation and growth of macrofibrils in trichocyte (hard-α) keratins
Sheet formation is key to macrofibril structure differences in wool.
research ecancermedicalscience
Hair analysis may help detect breast cancer early by identifying changes in lipid content.
research Structural behavior of keratin-associated protein 8.1 in human hair as revealed by a monoclonal antibody
KAP8.1 protein is crucial for hair structure and interacts with keratin 85.

Dermoscopy helps quickly identify hair breakage in people of African descent.
research Human Hair Keratin‐Associated Proteins (KAPs)
Keratin-associated proteins are crucial for hair strength and structure.
research Identification of llama KRTAP7-1 and KRTAP8-1 fiber genes and polymorphism screening
Mutations in specific llama genes may affect fiber quality for textiles.
research An overview of chemical straightening of human hair: technical aspects, potential risks to hair fibre and health and legal issues
Chemical hair straightening can damage hair and health, needing safer alternatives and stricter regulations.
research Bidirectional binding property of high glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated protein contributes to the mechanical strength and shape of hair
High glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated proteins help make hair strong and maintain its shape.
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 Spatiotemporal Expression Characterization of KRTAP6 Family Genes and Its Effect on Wool Traits
KRTAP6 genes affect wool quality in sheep.
research Characterization of the Promoter Regions of Two Sheep Keratin-Associated Protein Genes for Hair Cortex-Specific Expression
The KRTAP11-1 gene promoter is crucial for specific expression in sheep wool cortex.
research Macrofibril Formation
research Polymorphism of keratin-associated protein (KAP) 7 gene and its association with wool traits in Rambouillet sheep
The KAP 7 gene affects wool traits in Rambouillet sheep, with the BB genotype showing the best wool characteristics.
research Methods of keratin extraction from wool and hair and prospects of their application in biomedicine and bioengineering
Extracted keratin from wool and hair can be used in medicine and bioengineering.
research Morphological, Macromolecular Structure and Hair Growth
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 Human Hair and the Impact of Cosmetic Procedures: A Review on Cleansing and Shape-Modulating Cosmetics
Future hair cosmetics will be safer and more effective.
research An epistatic effect of KRT25 on SP6 is involved in curly coat in horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.
