240-270 / 1000+ resultsresearch Multiscale modelling of human hair
Human hair becomes weaker and stretches more easily at higher temperatures.
research Rational design of keratin-based injectable hydrogels for biomedical applications
Keratin-based hydrogels can be improved for medical use by adding PEG, making them more soluble and adjustable.
research Ex vivo SIM-AFM measurements reveal the spatial correlation of stiffness and molecular distributions in 3D living tissue
Collagen makes skin stiff, and preservation methods greatly increase tissue stiffness.
research Alkylation of human hair keratin for tunable hydrogel erosion and drug delivery in tissue engineering applications
Alkylation of human hair keratin allows for adjustable drug release rates in hydrogels for medical use.
research Magnetically driven formation of 3D freestanding soft bioscaffolds
Magnetic fields help create complex 3D soft structures for biomedical use.
research Three-dimensional model of normal human dermal tissue using serial tissue sections
A detailed 3D model of human skin was created to help develop artificial skin.
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 Impact of substrate stiffness on dermal papilla aggregates in microgels
Softer hydrogel surfaces help maintain hair growth-related functions in skin cells.
research Fabrication of a 3D hair follicle‐like hydrogel by soft lithography
Researchers created a 3D hydrogel that mimics human hair follicles, which may help with hair loss treatments.
research A new approach to the bending properties of hair fibers.
The new test shows how hair treatments affect hair's bending stiffness by swinging a pendulum through hair fibers.
research Analysis of slenderizing human hair fibers surface morphology
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 In situ tensile deformation characterization of human hair with atomic force microscopy
AFM helped show how hair changes under tension and the effects of damage and conditioner.
research P-13 Some biomechanical properties of human hair keratin (HHK) artificial tendon
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 832 Variability in secretion of growth factors by platelets is intrinsic to alopecia patients undergoing platelet-rich plasma therapy
Hair growth treatment results vary because each patient's platelets release different levels of growth factors.
research The swelling behaviour of hair studied through the structural change of keratin protein during the permanent waving treatment
Hair structure changes immediately during perm treatment, with initial damage partially restored later.
research Reimagining Hair Science: A New Approach to Classify Curly Hair Phenotypes via New Quantitative Geometrical & Structural Mechanical Parameters
New methods to classify curly hair types were developed based on shape and strength.
research Physico-chemical properties of modern cosmetics for styling and their effect on hair structure
Modern hair styling products don't repair hair but improve its surface and stability.
research Chapter 4 Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
research CosmeticPotential of a Structural Protein CopolymerBased on Silk, Elastin, and Keratin
SELP::KP improves hair strength, elasticity, and health, making it a promising hair cosmetic.
research Torsional behavior of human hair
Water makes hair more flexible, especially the outer layer.
research Injectable Dual‐Crosslinked Poly(oligo(Ethylene Glycol) Methacrylate) Hydrogels Inspired by Mussel Adhesion for Cutaneous Wound Healing and Functional Tissue Regeneration
The hydrogels improve wound healing and tissue regeneration better than traditional treatments.
research Water distribution in human hair microstructure elucidated by spin contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering
The technique showed that human hair has two main parts, with 68% being rigid and the rest flexible, and water swelling affects its structure.
research Biomechanical properties of scalp flaps and their correlations to reconstructive and aesthetic surgery procedures
Scalp flaps are stiffer than skin from other body areas, which helps in planning reconstructive and cosmetic head surgeries.
research Injectable Biomimetic Gels for Biomedical Applications
Injectable biomimetic gels can help heal tissues and deliver drugs but need improvements in strength and delivery.
