This study reports that biomass activated carbon fibers derived from metaplexis japonica seed hair effectively adsorb methylene blue dye, demonstrating high capacity and rapid adsorption performance.

This study observed that repeated perm treatments decrease disulfide bonds in hair due to their conversion largely into cysteic acid, affecting the waving efficiency depending on the reduction agent used.

This study found that electrospun short fibrous sponges effectively mimic the 3D extracellular matrix, promoting tissue regeneration, angiogenesis, and wound healing in diabetic rats better than 2D fiber membranes.

Human hair structure varies by ethnicity, and certain treatments can improve hair condition and appearance.

Twisting hair weakens it, but strength can be recovered at low twist levels.

This study found that a genetic variant in the EDAR gene leads to typical East Asian hair characteristics by increasing signaling output, as shown in transgenic mice experiments.

In this study, minoxidil treatment in aged mice increased elastin expression and improved aortic structure and function, suggesting its potential for arterial remodeling in aging.

This study found that triglyceride and energy metabolic pathways are crucial factors influencing wool fiber diameter in fine-wool Alpine Merino sheep, providing insights for enhancing wool quality.

This study found that xylanase and pectinase enzymes clean wool and specialty hair fibers as effectively as soap, without causing physical damage, whereas resinase was not effective.

This study reports promising preliminary results for using monoclonal antibodies to identify cashmere fibers, highlighting observed immunological differences from wool keratins.
