Spectral Histology of Hair and Hair Follicle Using Infrared Microspectroscopy

    Christophe Sandt, Bildstein Lucien, Bornschlögl Thomas … Borondics Ferenc
    Studysummary In this study, researchers used advanced infrared microspectroscopy techniques to map the chemical composition of human hair, revealing new insights such as the presence of glycogen in the outer root sheath and the widespread distribution of calcium carboxylates in the hair cuticle.
