This study conducted in situ tensile loading experiments with atomic force microscopy to observe how conditioning treatments affect the tensile response of virgin, chemically damaged, and mechanically damaged Caucasian hair.

This study found significant correlations for copper and zinc levels between hair and plasma in Pomeranian and Labrador dogs, but no significant correlation for iron.

Hair treatments like bleaching increase friction by exposing tiny pores on the hair surface.

This study examined hair mineral and free amino acid components in various diseases and found that when using effect size analysis, specific components related to diabetes and other conditions were identified, suggesting their potential as novel health indicators.

This study reports a highly sensitive MEMS silicon-hair device that mimics hair follicle functions by detecting minimal forces and moments, including electrostatic attraction and surface tension of liquids.

This study found that women with hyperandrogenic amenorrhea do not show reduced bone mineral density compared to controls, indicating they may be protected from osteopenia.

This study observed that individuals with major unipolar depression have higher levels of sodium and potassium in their hair and decreased antidiuretic hormone levels, similar to changes seen in astronauts after space missions.

A higher calcium to magnesium ratio in hair is linked to lower insulin sensitivity.

This study discovered a new region in the hair cortex where intermediate filaments are both aligned with the hair's axis and orientationally ordered, influenced by the cuticle boundary.

This review discusses medical conditions and therapies related to various elements, such as zinc, copper, mercury, cadmium, lead, chromium, and arsenic, without reporting new experimental results; it highlights past findings on deficiencies, toxicities, and historical cases.

Curly and straight hair differ in how their internal fibers are arranged.

This study found that the distribution of desmogleins is associated with specific types of keratinization and hair anchorage, as well as hypotrichosis.

This study found that treating hair with 1 M sodium hydroxide increases its self-friction coefficient, suggesting potential applications in forming fine frictional fibers for medical uses.

This study explored the potential of human hair keratin as a filtration material, finding that it may effectively absorb the pollutants diclofenac and perfluorobutanesulfonate. The researchers reported significant binding affinities through molecular simulations, supporting further investigation into keratin's use for water purification.

This study observed that insulin-dependent diabetes induces specific molecular changes in the keratin structure of hair, potentially offering a new way to study diabetic complications through easily accessible tissues.

A specific hair diffraction pattern may indicate breast cancer if tested with the correct method.

This study investigated the ability of a human hair keratin dimer to absorb the pollutants diclofenac and perfluorobutane sulfonate, finding high binding affinities that suggest potential for hair-derived materials in water filtration technologies.

This study found that scalp thickness and hair follicle depth were reduced in individuals with androgenetic alopecia, and MRI signal intensity was higher compared to those without the condition.

This study suggests that the mechanical robustness of hair may be enhanced by the binding interactions of keratin-associated proteins, particularly KAP8.1, with intermediate filament proteins.

In this study, incorporating a novel amino acid compound into a hair-straightening formulation improved humidity-resistant straightening and enhanced the surface and mechanical properties of hair fibers, including increased bending stiffness, reduced friction, and better shape retention under high temperature and humidity conditions.

This study introduces a new test using a pendulum device to assess the bending stiffness of hair fibers, which can evaluate the effects of different hair treatments.

In this study, MSC-derived magnetic nanovesicles combined with a magnetic field increased skin retention and accelerated hair follicle growth in a mouse model of hair regeneration.

This study found that carbon dots derived from fucoidan effectively inhibit Enterococcus faecalis and its biofilm, offering a promising approach for managing biofilm-associated persistent endodontic infections.

This study found that the stability of the coiled-coil structure in human hair keratin is maintained by ion-pairing and hydrophobic interactions, which are disrupted as pH approaches 7.0.

This study found that Mueller Matrix microscopy can accurately identify, detect, and evaluate hair follicles in mouse skin tissue, suggesting its potential for skin structure research and dermatological applications.

This study reviews the potential of dibenzo derivatives as safer cancer treatments but finds conflicting evidence about their effectiveness, possibly due to structural differences among the compounds, and reports no new results.
