5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Organization of microfibrils in keratin fibers studied by X-ray scattering
The study improved understanding of keratin fiber structure by showing consistent microfibril diameter but varying distances and electron density profiles.
research Nucleation and growth of macrofibrils in trichocyte (hard-α) keratins
This study suggests that varying intersheet interactions may explain the differences between the two polymorphic forms of macrofibril assembly in Merino wool and hair.
research Structural change of keratin protein in human hair by permanent waving treatment
This study found that permanent waving treatment partially disrupts the α-helical structure in human hair microfibrils, primarily during the initial reduction phase, rather than just affecting disulphide bonds.
research The swelling behaviour of hair studied through the structural change of keratin protein during the permanent waving treatment
This study analyzed the swelling behavior of human hair during permanent waving treatment, finding that both the microstructure and macrostructure of intermediate filaments swell simultaneously at the initial stage, and while partially destructed by reduction, they are considerably restored through oxidation.

community Keratin microspheres - breakthrough
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
community Is keratin fusion bond good alternative to clip on hair patch for diffused thinners
Keratin fusion bonds are discussed as an alternative to clip-on hair patches for men with diffused thinning. The conversation explores different styling options for hair loss.
community Let's talk keratin products and hair loss
OP is considering using a keratin gel to improve hair quality and is concerned about its safety and visual impact on a slightly balding crown. Users discuss shampoo frequency, with some suggesting less frequent use for better hair health, but OP prefers regular shampoo and conditioner for silky hair.
community Is Biotin or Keratin shampoo better for hair health/growth
Biotin and Keratin shampoos are discussed for hair health and growth. Users suggest shampoos alone don't significantly aid hair growth.
