research Effect of Anti-Keratin Antibody on the Nature of Hair
Anti-keratin antibody from cow milk makes damaged hair stronger and less likely to break.
research Investigating the Relationship Between the Hair Fiber Proteome and Hair Quality
Hair quality is genetically determined and linked to its composition and strength.
research Stiffness of Human Hair Correlates with the Fractions of Cortical Cell Types
Hair stiffness is higher when it has more para-like cortical cells.
research Chronic Treatment with Minoxidil Induces Elastic Fiber Neosynthesis and Functional Improvement in the Aorta of Aged Mice
Minoxidil treatment increases aorta elasticity and reduces stiffness in aged mice, potentially helping with age-related heart issues.
research Chronic Administration of Minoxidil Protects Elastic Fibers and Stimulates Their Neosynthesis with Improvement of the Aorta Mechanics in Mice
Minoxidil helps protect and rebuild elastic fibers in arteries, improving artery function, especially in older females.
research The Secrets of Beautiful Hair: Why Is It Flexible and Elastic?
Beautiful hair is flexible and elastic due to its unique double-layered structure and can be enhanced with succinic acid treatment.
research Some Tensile Properties of Specialty Hair Fibers
Animal hair fibers like wool and mohair are strong when dry, but vicuna fibers are very brittle.
research Skin Aging as a Mechanical Phenomenon: The Main Weak Links
Skin aging is largely due to differences in stiffness and elasticity between skin layers, leading to wrinkles.
research Effect of Equilibrium pH on the Structure and Properties of Bleach-Damaged Human Hair Fibers
Hair's structure and properties change with pH; acidic pH maintains strength and less swelling, while alkaline pH increases water content and swelling.
research Insights on the Mechanical Behavior of Keratin Fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research Porosity at Different Structural Levels in Human and Yak Belly Hair and Its Effect on Hair Dyeing
Yak belly hair has higher porosity and is less stiff than human hair, making it absorb dye better but less suitable as a direct substitute for hair dyeing.
research Development of Novel Wound Dressing Based on Elastin-Like Recombinamers for Skin Regeneration
Elastin-like recombinamers show promise for better wound healing and skin regeneration.
research Effect of Varied Hair Protein Fractions on the Gel Properties of Keratin/Chitosan Hydrogels for Use in Tissue Engineering
Different hair protein amounts change the strength of keratin/chitosan gels, useful for making predictable tissue engineering materials.
research Optical Coherence Tomography as an Advanced Tool in Different Applications
Optical Coherence Tomography has potential in diagnosing hair loss and monitoring blood clotting, and could be improved for deeper tissue observation and better hair loss understanding.
research Characterization of the Mechanical Properties of the Cortex Region of Human Hair Fibers by Multiparametric Atomic Force Microscopy Mapping
Atomic Force Microscopy is a more accurate way to assess hair damage and the effect of cosmetic treatments.
research Keratin Network Modifications Lead to the Mechanical Stiffening of the Hair Follicle Fiber
Changes in keratin make hair follicles stiffer.
research Advances in the Chemical Structure of the Hair Surface, Surface Forces and Interactions
