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 Secondary structure estimation and properties analysis of stretched Asian and Caucasian hair
Stretching damages Caucasian hair's structure more easily than Asian hair.
research BIOMAGNETISM AS FACTOR IN RED BLOOD CELLS DEFORMATION
Biomagnetic forces can deform red blood cells, not just mechanical factors.
research Structure of intermediate filament assembly in hair deduced from hydration studies using small-angle neutron scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research Pseudopili Annulati in a Dark‐Haired Individual: A Light and Electron Microscopic Study
A dark-haired Chinese girl had hair that looked banded under certain light but was normal under a microscope.
research Investigating the origins of nanostructural variations in differential ethnic hair types using X‐ray scattering techniques
Different ethnic hair types have unique nanoscopic and molecular features despite having the same basic keratin structure.
research Insights on the mechanical behavior of keratin fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research Structural changes in the trichocyte intermediate filaments accompanying the transition from the reduced to the oxidized form
Oxidation changes the structure of hair protein filaments, causing them to compact and rearrange.
