9 / 9 resultsresearch Effect of Shampoo, Conditioner, and Permanent Waving on the Molecular Structure of Human Hair
This study found that shampoo and conditioner do not alter hair's molecular structure, while perming treatments significantly affect keratin and intermediate filament structures due to bond alterations.
research The Structure of People's Hair
This study found that while molecular hair structures were nearly identical across individuals, genetic factors seem to influence specific lipid compositions, as seen in identical-patterned hair from parent-child pairs and identical twins, but not fraternal twins.
research Keratins and Lipids in Ethnic Hair
In this study, researchers found that higher concentrations of internal lipids in African hair may influence its keratin structure, as observed through various analytical methods.
research Characterization of the Human Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 2 (KRTAP2) Gene Family
This study found that KRTAP2 proteins predominantly express in the hair shaft cortex of humans, interact with hair keratins, and play crucial roles in hair shaft keratinization.
research Unzipping the Cuticle of the Human Hair Shaft to Obtain Micron/Nano Keratin Filaments
This study demonstrated that human hair shafts can be anatomically separated to obtain intact micron and nano keratin filaments using solvents like performic acid and urea.
research Human Hair Keratin-Associated Proteins
This study revealed that human keratin-associated protein genes are expressed in specific patterns in hair fiber regions and vary in size, with some variations distinct across different populations.
research The Catalog of Human Hair Keratins
This study establishes a catalog of human type I hair keratins and identifies their specific roles and expression patterns during hair differentiation and growth in scalp follicles.
research The Extraction And Characterization Of Human Nail Keratin
Human nails contain both skin and hair keratins, each needing different extraction methods.
research X-Ray Studies of the Structure of Hair, Wool, and Related Fibers. II. - The Molecular Structure and Elastic Properties of Hair Keratin
This study found that the X-ray patterns of stretched mammalian hair (β-keratin) are similar to those of natural silk (fibrion), suggesting a similar elastic mechanism involving reversible intra-molecular transformations.
