Proper hair care can prevent and stop hair breakage in people with acquired trichorrhexis nodosa.
research Characterization of Human Ovarian Teratoma Hair Using AFM, FT-IR, and Raman Spectroscopy
Teratoma hair is similar to scalp hair but has a rougher surface and lower adhesive force.
research Biocompatibility Of Kaps-Depleted Residual Hair
KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.
research Understanding the Biochemical Properties of Human Hair Keratins: Self-Assembly Potential and Cell Response
Human hair keratins can self-assemble and support cell growth, useful for biomedical applications.
research Development of a Mechanically Stable Human Hair Keratin Film for Cell Culture

research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research The Tale of Stress: An Exploratory Analysis of Cortisol Levels in the Tail Hair of Captive Asian Elephants
Elephant tail-hair can show past stress levels, matching times when stressful events happened.
research Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Analysis of Human Hair Fiber Structure
Human hair has different protein structures in its cuticle and cortex.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research Chapter 4: Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
research Insights on the Hair Keratin Structure Under Different Drying Conditions
