270-300 / 1000+ results research The Molecular Architecture for the Intermediate Filaments of Hardα-Keratin Based on the Superlattice Data Obtained from a Study of Mammals Using Synchrotron Fibre Diffraction
Hard α-keratin has a universal molecular structure with a specific superlattice arrangement.
research The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
research Tactile innervation densities across the whole body
Young adults have about 230,000 tactile nerve fibers, decreasing 5-8% per decade with age.
research Cortical cell types and intermediate filament arrangements correlate with fiber curvature in Japanese human hair
Hair curvature in Japanese people is linked to specific cell types and filament arrangements in the hair cortex.
research A novel cosmetic approach to treat thinning hair
A new hair treatment with caffeine and other ingredients makes hair thicker and less likely to break.
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 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ANATOLIAN NATIVE GOAT DOWN-HAIR FIBERS IN COMPARISON WITH CASHMERE FIBER
Anatolian native goat down-hair is similar to cashmere and can be used for high-quality textiles.
research Analysis of heterogeneous reaction between reducing agents and keratin fibers using Raman spectroscopy and microspectrophotometry
The study found that thioglycolic acid breaks down hair bonds more consistently than l-cysteine, which is less damaging to hair.
research Age, lifestyle and self‐perceptions of hair: Is there an association with hair diameter and tensile properties?
Older age and certain lifestyles are linked to thinner, weaker hair, while how you see your hair relates to its thickness.
research Design of a biofluid-absorbing bioactive sandwich-structured Zn–Si bioceramic composite wound dressing for hair follicle regeneration and skin burn wound healing
Wound dressing absorbs fluid, regenerates hair follicles, and heals skin burns.
research Adaptations in the structure and innervation of follicle‐sinus complexes to an aquatic environment as seen in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris)
Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.
research Stem Cells and the Niche: A Dynamic Duo
Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell behavior and tissue health, and their decline can impact aging and cancer.
research TRPA1 Modulates Mechanotransduction in Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
TRPA1 is crucial for mechanical sensitivity in skin sensory neurons.
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 Epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in cutaneous wound healing: Where we are and where we are heading
The document concludes that a better understanding of cell changes during wound healing could improve treatments for chronic wounds and other conditions.
research Concise Review: Tissue-Engineered Skin and Nerve Regeneration in Burn Treatment
New methods for skin and nerve regeneration can improve healing and feeling after burns.
