30-60 / 1000+ results research Bidirectional Binding Property of High Glycine–Tyrosine Keratin-Associated Protein Contributes to the Mechanical Strength and Shape of Hair
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 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 Keratin Network Modifications Lead to the Mechanical Stiffening of the Hair Follicle Fiber
Changes in keratin make hair follicles stiffer.
research Revisiting the Significance of Keratin Expression in Complex Epithelia
Keratin genes change gradually during skin cell development and should be used carefully as biomarkers.
research Revisiting the Significance of Keratin Expression in Complex Epithelia
Keratin gene expression helps understand different types of skin cells and their development, and should be used carefully as biological markers.

Annurca apple supplement safely increases hair growth and keratin in humans.
research Discussion: Themes in the Molecular Structure of Hair
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair structure and strength.
research A Review of Keratin-Based Biomaterials for Biomedical Applications
Keratin from hair and wool is used in medical materials for healing and drug delivery.
research Beyond Expectations: The Role of Keratin Intermediate Filament Proteins in Epidermal Integrity
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
research A Novel Epithelial Keratin, hK6irs1, Is Expressed Differentially in All Layers of the Inner Root Sheath, Including Specialized Huxley Cells of the Human Hair Follicle
A new keratin, hK6irs1, is found in all layers of the hair follicle's inner root sheath.
research The Structure of the Amorphous Matrix of Keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Analysis of Heterogeneous Reaction Between Reducing Agents and Keratin Fibers Using Raman Spectroscopy and Microspectrophotometry
The study found that thioglycolic acid breaks down hair bonds more consistently than l-cysteine, which is less damaging to hair.
research Keratin Promotes Differentiation of Keratinocytes Seeded on Collagen/Keratin Hydrogels
Keratin helps skin cells mature when added to a collagen mix, which could be important for skin and hair health.
research Adsorption of Diclofenac and PFBS on a Hair Keratin Dimer
Human hair keratin might be good for filtering out harmful substances from water.
research Mapping Penetration of Cosmetic Compounds into Hair Fibers Using Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS)
Different oils penetrate hair differently; monounsaturated oils like olive oil penetrate better than polyunsaturated oils.
research Morphology and Ultrastructure of Antler Velvet Hair and Body Hair from Red Deer (Cervus elaphus)
Antler velvet hair and body hair of red deer have different structures that help with protection and insulation.
research The Keratins of the Human Beard Hair Medulla: The Riddle in the Middle
Human beard hair medulla contains a unique and complex mix of keratins not found in other human tissues.
research Penetration of Different Molecular Weight Hydrolysed Keratins into Hair Fibres and Their Effects on the Physical Properties of Textured Hair
Different sizes of keratin peptides can strengthen hair, with smaller ones possibly increasing volume and larger ones repairing damage.
research Bald Thigh Syndrome in Sighthounds: Revisiting the Cause of a Well-Known Disease
Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds is caused by structural defects in hair shafts due to downregulated genes and proteins.
research Amino Acids, Peptides, And Proteins In Cosmetic Science
