February 2007 in “Journal of Structural Biology” Oxidation changes the structure of hair protein filaments, causing them to compact and rearrange.
This study found that, compared to oxidative treatments, reductive perm-waving more severely impacts the intermediate filaments in European human hair, while both treatments alter denaturation kinetics in a first-order manner.
3 citations
,
April 2024 in “Dentistry Journal” In this study, oral care products like foams and a spray, similar to tap water, improved salivary pH and oral clearance rates after exposure to Coca-Cola® in young adults, but no significant differences were found between these products and tap water.
January 2025 in “Multimedialen Archiv und Publikationsserver der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel)” In this study, human gingival mesenchymal stem cells responded differently to inflammation mediated by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) compared to cytokines; oxLDL significantly reduced cell proliferation but had less negative impact on differentiation characteristics.
This study found that certain concentrations of sodium fluoride accelerated apoptosis in cultured human hair follicles, while sodium selenite could counteract this toxicity in vitro.
January 2014 in “대한미용학회지” In this study, the researchers found that micronizing hinokitiol using supercritical carbon dioxide impacted its particle size, with increased temperature enlarging particles and increased pressure reducing them.

June 2017 in “Nature Communications” This study introduced a new technique, 2Phatal, enabling precise apoptotic cell ablation in living animals, revealing unique cell-type differences in apoptosis-related dynamics.
August 2026 in “Materials Technology” This study developed a multifunctional TA-MoS2-SF hydrogel for diabetic ulcer treatment, demonstrating enhanced photothermal bactericidal effects, immune environment remodeling, and fibroblast proliferation, suggesting it may serve as an effective 'antibacterial-immunomodulatory-repair' strategy.
January 1963 in “Stain technology” This study describes a staining technique that differentiates medullary from cortical keratin in sheep and goat hair using Ziehl-Neelsen's carbol-fuchsin in skin biopsy sections.
165 citations
,
May 2023 in “Science Advances” In this study, the researchers developed a living microecological hydrogel containing Chlorella and Bacillus subtilis that showed potential in promoting the healing of infected diabetic wounds by providing continuous oxygen delivery and anti-infective properties.
2 citations
,
June 2022 in “The Bulletin of Contemporary Clinical Medicine” This study suggests that although hydroxyapatite gel has strong bactericidal effects, its combination with platelet-enriched blood autoplasm does not enhance antibacterial activity in endodontic treatment for chronic apical periodontitis.
2 citations
,
March 2019 in “PubMed” This case report describes successful treatment of folliculitis decalvans in a 41-year-old woman using oral fusidic acid, leading to clinical improvement and no recurrences after six months.
July 2019 in “Ferroelectrics” The researchers reported that increasing protein content in human hair keratin/calcium alginate blend films led to larger molecular aggregates, which influenced the films' physical properties such as light transmittance and tensile strength.
83 citations
,
March 1995 in “PLANT PHYSIOLOGY” This study found that the Nod factor from Rhizobium meliloti, particularly at concentrations of 10-8 and 10-7 M, induced specific membrane depolarization and root-hair deformation in Medicago sativa, depending on the stage of cell differentiation.
