120-150 / 278 resultsresearch Human Hair and the Impact of Cosmetic Procedures: A Review on Cleansing and Shape-Modulating Cosmetics
Future hair cosmetics will be safer and more effective.
research Structural Hierarchy of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair growth and structure.
research Discrete Nanoscale Distribution of Hair Lipids Fails to Provide Humidity Resistance
Hair lipids do not protect against humidity.
research Anatomy and Physiology of Hair
Hair is important for protection, social interaction, and temperature control, and is made of a growth cycle-influenced follicle and a complex shaft.
research An Epistatic Effect of KRT25 on SP6 Is Involved in Curly Coat in Horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.
research The Susceptibility of Disulfide Bonds to Modification in Keratin Fibers Undergoing Tensile Stress
Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.
research Location of Keratin-Associated Proteins in Developing Fiber Cuticle Cells Using Immunoelectron Microscopy
Keratin-associated proteins are part of the developing hair fiber cuticle.
research New Insights Into Human Hair: SAXS, SEM, TEM, and EDX for Alopecia Areata Investigations
Alopecia Areata causes significant structural and compositional changes in hair.
research Nanomaterials in Hair Care and Treatment
Nanomaterials can improve hair care products and treatments, including hair loss and alopecia, by enhancing stability and safety, and allowing controlled release of compounds, but their safety in cosmetics needs more understanding.
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 Evaluation of Hair Surface Structure and Morphology of Patients with Lichen Planopilaris by Atomic Force Microscopy
AFM can help diagnose lichen planopilaris by identifying specific hair structure changes.
research A Methodological Exploration of Distinguishing Hair Quality Based on Hair Proteomics
Bleaching damages hair by reducing the quality of keratin and keratin-associated proteins.
research Evaluation of Surface Structure and Morphological Phenomena of Caucasian Virgin Hair with Atomic Force Microscopy
AFM can diagnose hair disorders by revealing detailed hair surface changes.
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.
