research Elastoinertial effects govern dynamic response of soft hair beds
Hair beds in fluid show nonlinear response due to viscosity, inertia, and elasticity.
research Investigation of pH effect on cationic solute binding to keratin and partition to hair
Solute binding to hair keratin is mainly driven by hydrophobic interactions and changes with pH.
research Study of some minerals in normal Egyptian scalp hair
Sodium and potassium levels in Egyptian scalp hair differ by sex and can aid in legal cases.
research Structural analysis of human hair single fibres by scanning microbeam SAXS
Hair curliness is due to uneven distribution of different cortices within the hair fiber.

research Comparative study of male and female human hair: A microscopic analysis.
Male and female human hairs have different microscopic structures that can help in forensic analysis.
research Correlation of monosynaptic field potentials evoked by single action potentials in single primary afferent axons and their bouton distributions in the dorsal horn
The study found that nerve signals are stronger when there are more connection points, but not necessarily denser, along the nerve's path in the spine.
research Concentration homeostasis and elements in hair and dried serum observed by X-ray fluorescence analysis using synchrotron radiation
Hair analysis can help diagnose cell ion channel activity and calcium deficiency.
research The Arrector Pili Muscle and the Follicular Unit of the Scalp: A Microscopic Anatomy Study
The study found that hair follicles are above muscle connections in the scalp, which may help protect stem cell areas.
research Male-pattern baldness and incident coronary heart disease and risk factors in the Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study
Male-pattern baldness is weakly linked to some heart disease risk factors but not a strong indicator for heart disease.
research Genome-wide Maps of Histone Modifications Unwind In Vivo Chromatin States of the Hair Follicle Lineage
Hair follicle stem cells use specific chromatin changes to control their growth and differentiation.
research Effect of Surface Treatments on the Nanomechanical Properties of Human Hair
Bleaching and combing damage hair's surface and mechanical properties.
research Rapunzel! Rapunzel! How Strong Is Your Hair?
Hair can't be as strong as Rapunzel's because it's impractical to scale up due to defects.
research Preconditioning with far-infrared irradiation enhances proliferation, cell survival, and migration of rat bone marrow-derived stem cells via CXCR4-ERK pathways
Far-infrared radiation improves stem cell growth and movement, helping heart therapy.
research Nanomechanical characterization of human hair using nanoindentation and SEM
Human hair's strength and flexibility vary by ethnicity, damage, and treatment.
research Uptake of mercury by the hair of methylmercury-treated newborn mice
Methylmercury accumulates in mouse hair during growth, then decreases when growth stops.
research Calculation of Cuticle Step Heights from AFM Images of Outer Surfaces of Human Hair
AFM helps study hair surfaces for dermatology, cosmetics, and forensics.
