This review discusses new developments in understanding the structure and properties of keratin fiber cell membrane complexes, without reporting new experimental results.

In this study, researchers found that neonate hairs have a distinct microstructure with no medulla and smaller hair follicles compared to adult hairs.

This study found that involucrin likely plays a key role in forming the cornified material of the medulla and inner root sheath of human hair, contributing to its mechanical strength.

This study found that cysteic acid generation during hair bleaching is diffusion-controlled, increasing with the square root of bleaching time, in both cuticles and cortex of human hair fibers.

This study suggests that the cell membrane complex in hair cuticles contains hydrophilic regions with disulfide bonds allowing polymer uptake and hydrophobic lamella-like lipid layers.
