research Transplantation of bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal and epidermal stem cells contribute to wound healing with different regenerative features
Bone-marrow and epidermal stem cells help heal wounds differently, with bone-marrow cells aiding in blood vessel formation and epidermal cells in hair growth.
research Transgenic mice overexpressing CD109 in the epidermis display decreased inflammation and granulation tissue and improved collagen architecture during wound healing
Mice genetically modified to produce more CD109 in their skin had less inflammation and better healing with less scarring.
research Fiber-Safe Extraction of Red Mordant Dyes from Hair Fibers
Researchers developed a less damaging way to extract red dyes from wool using EDTA and DMF, preserving the fiber's strength for further analysis.
research Strain and Strain Recovery of Human Hair from the Nano- to the Macroscale
Human hair can almost fully recover its structure within about 1,000 minutes after being stretched.
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 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 Comparison on Quality Performance of Human Hair Types with Herbal Oils (Grape Seed/Safflower Seed/Rosehip) by Analysis Techniques
Grape seed oil improved hair quality the most, followed by rosehip and safflower seed oils, and reduced damage from shampoo.
research Enhancing properties of damaged hair through moisture control via construction of highly hydrophobic surface
A silicone treatment makes damaged hair more water-resistant and stronger.
research Natural ‘Green’ Sugar-Based Treatment for Hair Styling
Scientists created a non-toxic, sugar-based hair product that can style hair without damage.
research Electrospun Scaffold of Collagen and Polycaprolactone Containing ZnO Quantum Dots for Skin Wound Regeneration

research Giant axonal neuropathy alters the structure of keratin intermediate filaments in human hair
Giant axonal neuropathy changes the structure of keratin in human hair.
research Penetration of different molecular weight hydrolysed keratins into hair fibres and their effects on the physical properties of textured hair
Different sizes of keratin peptides can strengthen hair, with smaller ones possibly increasing volume and larger ones repairing damage.
research Valorization of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L) waste as green hair dyeing pigment: Effect of mordant and formula optimization
Mangosteen waste can be used as an eco-friendly natural hair dye, producing a lasting reddish color and strengthening hair.
research Quantifying the effects of repeated dyeing: morphological, mechanical, and chemical changes in human hair fibers
Repeated hair dyeing significantly damages hair.
research A comparison of dyeing efficacy between hair‐oxidation‐based and hair‐coating‐based shampoos for the treatment of gray hair
Hair-coating shampoos dye better initially, but hair-oxidation shampoos keep color longer and may damage hair more.
research Novel Compounds for Hair Repair: Chemical Characterization and In Vitro Analysis of Thiol Cross-Linking Agents
APA is a promising new compound for repairing damaged hair, outperforming Olaplex® in strength and elasticity.
research Investigating the role of various extracellular matrix in androgenetic alopecia: Insights from immunostaining and quantitative analysis – A pilot study
ECM changes may play a role in hair loss, with differences between males and females.
research Antioxidant Properties of Platycladus orientalis Flavonoids for Treating UV-Induced Damage in Androgenetic Alopecia Hair
Platycladus orientalis flavonoids protect balding hair from UV damage and slow hair color change.
research Efficacy and safety of Latilactobacillus curvatus LB-P9 on hair health: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial
LB-P9 supplements improve hair health and satisfaction without side effects.
research Production and characterization of human hair keratin bioplastic films with novel plasticizers
Human hair was used to make biodegradable plastic films that could be useful for packaging and disposable products.
research The Anti-Flyaway/Frizz Effect by Inducing the α-Helical Structure Transition of Hair
ATG effectively reduces hair frizz without damaging hair strength.
research The Role of Interface Geometry and Appendages on the Mesoscale Mechanics of the Skin
Skin's uneven surface and hair follicles affect its stress and strain but don't change its overall strength, and help prevent the skin from peeling apart.
research Graphene Oxide–IPDI–Ag/ZnO@Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Nanocomposite Films for Biological Wound-Dressing Applications
The new nanocomposite films are stronger, protect against UV, speed up wound healing, and are antibacterial without being toxic.
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 Changes of Curvature with Regain of Set Wool and Hair Fibers
Merino wool fibers change shape with moisture, while human hair shape stays the same.
