This study suggests that human keratin fiber matrix has a well-defined nano-scale grainy structure rather than being amorphous, with grain size influenced by chemical treatments, temperature, humidity, and follicle-level factors.

This study observed that exposing human hair keratins to heat or UV treatments led to modifications in cysteine residues, disrupting crucial disulphide bonds and potentially reducing the structural integrity of hair similar to prolonged styling or sunlight exposure.

This study found that adding dithiodiglycolic acid to the hair straightening process decreased chemical damage and preserved the structural integrity of the hair matrix compared to using thioglycolic acid alone.

This study introduces the term "hair matrix cyst" for a cyst with both pilomatricoma and epidermal cyst characteristics, highlighting its potential for misdiagnosis among similar skin conditions.

This study found that oxidized hair undergoes time-related structural changes, resulting in improved thermal and mechanical stability over several months after moderate or intense oxidative treatments.
