Oxidized trichocyte keratin has a helical dislocation in its structure.
research Measuring changes in chemistry, composition, and molecular structure within hair fibers by infrared and Raman spectroscopic imaging
This study demonstrates that spatially resolved IR and Raman imaging can effectively reveal the molecular structure and composition of untreated human hair, providing insights into its chemistry and structural integrity.
research Keratin formation in the hair follicle
This study examined developing hair cortex with electron microscopy and found that keratin fibrils form between specific regions in hair follicles and aggregate into twisted cables.
research Chapter 4 Cytomechanics of Hair
This review explains the mechanical composition and molecular interactions that determine hair's mechanical properties, without providing any new experimental findings.
