research Volume Changes During Water Binding to Hair Fibers
Hair increases in size when it absorbs water, and treatments like bleaching affect how much water it can take in.
research Smoke water promotes root meristem activity and cell elongation but inhibits root hair growth under phosphorus deficiency in rice
Smoke water helps rice roots grow longer but reduces root hair growth under low phosphorus.
research Exogenous and endogenous lipids of human hair
Removing external lipids from hair reduces moisture and increases strength, while removing internal lipids decreases water permeability.
research The Interaction of Hair Fibers with Alkali Bromide Solutions
Hair absorbs alkali bromide salts and water, affecting its structure, with absorption decreasing at higher temperatures.
research Human hair keratin gradient metallogel and their applications for wound healing
The research developed a human hair keratin and silver ion hydrogel that could help heal wounds.
research Management of excessive soil H+ ion induced toxicities by application of organic seaweed amendment enhances photosynthesis and resource use efficiencies in rice (Oryza sativa)
Using seaweed-based amendments improves soil quality and boosts rice growth and yield.
research Discrete Nanoscale Distribution of Hair Lipids Fails to Provide Humidity Resistance
Hair lipids do not protect against humidity.
research Copper and calcium uptake in colored hair
Hair coloring increases copper and calcium uptake, damaging hair and reducing shine.
research Scanning electron microscopes/silicon drift detector-energy dispersive spectroscopy: An analytical tool to identify waterborne microminerals pickup in human scalp hair cuticle due to water quality
The method can identify minerals in hair from water, and using coconut oil or conditioner can prevent mineral buildup.
research SEM/SDD-EDS—An analytical tool to identify water borne micro minerals pick up in human scalp hair cuticle due to water quality
Water quality affects mineral content in hair, and coconut oil can protect against damage.
research Do Dietary Levels of Pantothenic Acid Regulate Its Intestinal Uptake in Mice?
Mice's intestinal uptake of pantothenic acid is not affected by dietary levels.
research Signaling and Gene Expression for Water-Tolerant Legume Nodulation
The tropical legume Sesbania rostrata can form nodules in waterlogged conditions using a different method that involves plant hormones and specific genes.
research Kinetics and Equilibrium of Solute Diffusion into Human Hair
Hair absorbs molecules differently based on their size, charge, and love for water, and less at higher pH; this can help make better hair products.
research The risk of hydroquinone and sunscreen over-absorption via photodamaged skin is not greater in senescent skin as compared to young skin: Nude mouse as an animal model
Aging and sun damage do not increase the skin's absorption of certain sunscreens and drugs.
research Moisture sorption/desorption of protein fibres
Internal lipids in keratin fibers, like wool and hair, reduce water absorption and release.
research A COMPARISON OF THE PURIFICATION CAPACITY OF FIVE PLANT TYPES CULTIVATED ON FLOATING-BED FOR RESTORATION OF AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT
Canna indica is the best plant for water purification.
research Fundamental studies on the interaction between moisture and textiles. Part X. Moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers.
Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.
research Editorial Board
People need different amounts of biotin based on age, and not getting enough can cause health problems.
research Root hair growth from the pH point of view
pH changes are crucial for root hair growth because they affect enzymes and proteins that control the cell wall and growth.
research An LRH-RSL4 feedback regulatory loop controls the determinate growth of root hairs in Arabidopsis
A feedback loop between LRH and RSL4 controls root hair growth in Arabidopsis.
research The Oxidative Degradation of Keratin (Wool and Bovine Hair)
Oxidizing agents break down keratin in wool and hair, causing swelling and increased solubility.
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 Effects and Mechanism of Nutrients on Root Hair Growth
Nutrients and hormones affect root hair growth, but more research is needed to understand the genetic mechanisms.
research Fentanyl in hair. Chemical factors involved in accumulation and retention of fentanyl in hair after external exposure or in vivo deposition.
Fentanyl accumulates differently in hair from internal use compared to external exposure.
research Editorial Board
Biotin is important for metabolism, with specific daily intake recommendations, and deficiency can cause health problems.
research Relative uptake of minoxidil into appendages and stratum corneum and permeation through human skin in vitro
Minoxidil promotes hair growth by penetrating skin, with ethanol-containing formulas working best.
research Potential health risk and levels of heavy metals in water resources of lead–zinc mining communities of Abakaliki, southeast Nigeria
Water near Abakaliki mines has high toxic metal levels, posing health risks.
research Nanocarriers for optimizing the balance between interfollicular permeation and follicular uptake of topically applied clobetasol to minimize adverse effects
Nanocapsules can improve clobetasol delivery to hair follicles, reducing side effects.
research The reduction of selenium(IV) by boreal Pseudomonas sp. strain T5-6-I – Effects on selenium(IV) uptake in Brassica oleracea
Pseudomonas sp. T5-6-I bacteria increase selenium uptake in Brassica oleracea plants by 130%.
