research Effect of a Keratin Coupling Agent on the Mechanical Properties of a Bovine Hair-Thermoplastic Starch Composite
Adding keratin to a mix of cow hair and plant-based plastic makes it stronger.
research The Effect of Coconut Oil on the Physical-Mechanical Property and the Micromolecular Structure of Human Hair
Coconut oil helps protect and improve damaged hair.
research Effect of 1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 on Mechanical Properties of Hairless Mouse Skin
Vitamin D3 applied to mouse skin caused more wrinkles and sagging due to changes in the skin's outer layer.
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 Age-Associated Thin Hair Displays Molecular, Structural, and Mechanical Characteristic Changes
Older thin hair is not just thinner but also has different shape, structure, and stiffness.
research Effect of Surface Treatments on the Nanomechanical Properties of Human Hair
Bleaching and combing damage hair's surface and mechanical properties.
research Understanding Breakage in Curly Hair
Curly hair breaks due to mechanical damage and environmental factors, not chemical makeup, and needs ongoing care to prevent breakage.
research Regeneration of Hair and Other Skin Appendages: A Microenvironment-Centric View
The microenvironment, especially mechanical forces, plays a crucial role in hair growth and could lead to new treatments for hair loss.
research Trichonodosis in a Patient with Straight Hair
Mechanical trauma like towel drying can cause knotted hair even in straight hair.
research TRPA1 Modulates Mechanotransduction in Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
TRPA1 is crucial for mechanical sensitivity in skin sensory neurons.
research General Theory of Skin Reinforcement
Skin and its underlying fat layer act together to resist mechanical stress, and reinforcing this composite structure may help more with anti-aging than just strengthening the skin alone.
research Hair Regeneration Under Stress
Mice can regrow hair on wounds due to specific cell interactions and mechanical forces not seen in rats.
research Experimental Methods
Human hair's structure and properties were studied using advanced microscopes and mechanical tests.
research The Investigation and Management of the Hirsute Woman
The document concludes that hirsutism in women, often caused by PCOS, requires systematic evaluation and can be treated with medications, mechanical removal, or cosmetic methods, with weight loss also being beneficial.
research Adipose Tissue-Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction in Regenerative Medicine: A Brief Review on Biology and Translation
Fat tissue-derived cells show promise for repairing body tissues, but more research and regulation are needed for safe use.
research The Evaluation and Management of Hirsutism
Most women with excess hair growth have an underlying hormonal issue, often treated with medication and hair removal methods.
research Dermatologic Manifestations of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS often have skin problems like excessive hair, acne, hair loss, and dark patches, which can be treated with hormonal and non-hormonal therapies.
research Cutaneous Manifestations of Eating Disorders
Skin problems are common and important signs of eating disorders and treating the eating disorder can improve these skin conditions.
research An Analysis of Follicular Punches, Mechanics, and Dynamics in Follicular Unit Extraction

research Asian Hair: A Review of Structures, Properties, and Distinctive Disorders
Asian hair is generally straight and thick, with unique disorders and properties, and more research is needed to understand it fully.
research Hair Breakage in Normal and Weathered Hair: Focus on the Black Patient
Black hair is fragile due to hair care practices, not structural differences.
research Scalp Whorls
Abnormal scalp whorls can indicate brain development issues but may also be seen in neurologically normal people.
research Minoxidil Is a Potential Neuroprotective Drug for Paclitaxel-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Minoxidil may protect nerves and improve hair quality during paclitaxel treatment.
