High glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated proteins help make hair strong and maintain its shape.
research Local Structure of Human Hair Spatially Resolved by Sub-Micron X-Ray Beam
Human hair has a new region with ordered filaments and the cuticle contains β-keratin sheets.
research Chapter 4: Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
research Effect of Disulfide Bonds in Human Hair Fibers on the Melting Behavior of Their Crystalline Structure
Disulfide bonds affect the melting behavior of hair's crystalline structure, but hair retains some stability even after these bonds are broken.
research Structural Analysis of Curly and Straight Human Hair Fibers by Scanning Microbeam SAXS
Curly and straight hair differ in how their internal fibers are arranged.
research Organization and Expression of Hair Follicle Genes
Hair growth is controlled by specific gene clusters and proteins, and cysteine affects hair gene expression in sheep.
research Intermediate Filaments: Regulation of Gene Expression and Assembly
Intermediate filaments are crucial for cell structure and function, regulated by specific genes and proteins.
research Structure of Intermediate Filament Assembly in Hair Deduced from Hydration Studies Using Small-Angle Neutron Scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research Strain and Strain Recovery of Human Hair from the Nano- to the Macroscale
Human hair can almost fully recover its structure within about 1,000 minutes after being stretched.
research The Self-Recovery Phenomenon of Oxidized Hair
Oxidized hair can naturally regain strength and stability over six months.
research Cortical Cell Types and Intermediate Filament Arrangements Correlate with Fiber Curvature in Japanese Human Hair
Hair curvature in Japanese people is linked to specific cell types and filament arrangements in the hair cortex.
research In Vitro Assembly Properties of Human Type I and II Hair Keratins
Different combinations of human hair keratins affect how hair fibers form.
research Water Distribution in Human Hair Microstructure Elucidated by Spin Contrast Variation Small-Angle Neutron Scattering
The technique showed that human hair has two main parts, with 68% being rigid and the rest flexible, and water swelling affects its structure.
research Effect of Disulfide Bonds in Human Hair Fibers on the Melting Behavior of Their Crystalline Structure
Changing disulfide bonds in human hair affects its melting behavior and thermal stability.
