Research
240-270 / 1000+ results research Type II Keratins Are Phosphorylated on a Unique Motif during Stress and Mitosis in Tissues and Cultured Cells
Type II keratins are uniquely phosphorylated during stress and mitosis, affecting their structure and function.
research Tensile properties of twisted hair fibers
Twisting hair weakens it, but strength can be recovered at low twist levels.
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.
research High-voltage Electron Microscopy and 3-D reconstruction of human hair fiber ultrastructure
The research provided a detailed view of the non-keratinous parts of human hair fibers.
research Regulation of hard α-keratin mechanics via control of intermediate filament hydration: matrix squeeze revisited
Hard α-keratins stay stiff in water because the surrounding matrix keeps them dehydrated and strong.
research P-13 Some biomechanical properties of human hair keratin (HHK) artificial tendon
research Fractal geometry and topology abstracted from hair fibers
Hair fibers have fractal patterns with properties related to the golden mean, which may affect their functionality.
research J. Cosmet. Sci., 59, 263–289 (July/August 2008) Characterization of curved hair of Japanese women with reference to internal structures and amino acid composition
Japanese women's curved hair has an uneven internal structure and varied amino acid composition.
research A Portable Electrospinner for Nanofiber Synthesis and Its Application for Cosmetic Treatment of Alopecia
A portable device can create nanofibers to improve the appearance of thinning hair better than commercial products.
research Sequence analyses of Type I and Type II chains in human hair and epithelial keratin intermediate filaments: Promiscuous obligate heterodimers, Type II template for molecule formation and a rationale for heterodimer formation
Type I and Type II keratin chains can form heterodimers despite sequence differences.
research Hair Shaft Abnormalities. Pili Bifurcati: A Scanning Electron Microscopy Analysis
The study found that pili bifurcati causes hair to intermittently split into two branches, each with its own outer layer.
research The three-dimensional microvascular and collagen fibrillar arrangements around rat vibrissa hairs as revealed by scanning electron microscopy
The lower part of rat vibrissa hair gets more blood and is well-protected for growth.
research Distribution of G-actin is Related to Root Hair Growth of Wheat
Root hair growth in wheat needs a specific G-actin gradient and high Ca2+ concentration at the tips.
research The Fate of Trichohyalin
Trichohyalin is modified by enzymes to form strong structures in hair cells.
research Pili Torti: A Feature of Numerous Congenital and Acquired Conditions
Pili torti is a rare condition where hair is twisted and breaks easily, often linked to genetic disorders or other health issues.
research A modular modeling approach for investigating wool critical buckling from biologically variable along-fiber microstructure
The model helps understand how wool fiber structure affects its strength and flexibility.
research Torsional method for evaluating hair damage and performance of hair care ingredients
The torsional method effectively evaluates hair damage and the performance of hair care ingredients.

Trichoscopy can help tell the difference between artificial hair fibers and other scalp artifacts.
research Existence of trichohyalin-keratohyalin hybrid granules: Co-localization of two major intermediate filament-associated proteins in non-follicular epithelia
Trichohyalin is found in non-hair tissues and works with filaggrin in certain skin areas and conditions.
research The effect of treatments on the shear modulus of human hair measured by the single fiber torsion pendulum.
Different treatments change the strength and flexibility of human hair.
research pH Dependence of the Coiled-Coil Structure of Keratin Intermediate Filament in Human Hair by 13C NMR Spectroscopy and the Mechanism of Its Disruption
Keratin structure in hair is stable at pH 5-6 but disrupts between pH 6-7.
research Investigation of ROP GTPase Activity and Cytoskeleton Dynamics During Tip Growth in Root Hairs and Pollen Tubes
