research Fine Structure and Immunocytochemistry of Monotreme Hairs, with Emphasis on the Inner Root Sheath and Trichohyalin-Based Cornification During Hair Evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Effect of Equilibrium pH on the Structure and Properties of Bleach-Damaged Human Hair Fibers
Hair's structure and properties change with pH; acidic pH maintains strength and less swelling, while alkaline pH increases water content and swelling.
research Ultrastructural Immunolocalization of Involucrin in the Medulla and Inner Root Sheath of Human Hair
Involucrin helps strengthen the inner parts of human hair.
research Discussion: Themes in the Molecular Structure of Hair
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair structure and strength.
research Structure and Hair Follicle-Specific Expression of Genes Encoding the Rat High Sulfur Protein B2 Family
The B2 genes are crucial for hair growth in rats.
research A Highly Resistant Structure Between Cuticle and Cortex of Human Hair
A tough membrane between the outer and inner layers of human hair protects it from damage.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research Adaptations in the Structure and Innervation of Follicle-Sinus Complexes to an Aquatic Environment as Seen in the Florida Manatee (Trichechus Manatus Latirostris)
Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research The Abnormal Skin Structure of Newborn Wistar Rats Maternally Treated with Aspartame: Histological and Immunohistochemical Study
Maternal aspartame consumption during pregnancy leads to skin damage and higher apoptosis in newborn rat offspring.
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 Normal and Aging Hair Biology and Structure: Aging and Hair
Hair gets thinner, grayer, and changes texture with age due to genetics, environment, and cellular changes, affecting the growth cycle.
research Typical Morphological Characteristics of the Skin Structure of the Hair Part of the Normal Human Head and with Hair Loss
Androgenic alopecia causes hair follicle degradation and skin restructuring, but some hair elements remain.
research Fine Structure of Marsupial Hairs, with Emphasis on Trichohyalin and the Structure of the Inner Root Sheath
Marsupial hair structure and keratin distribution are similar to placental mammals.
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 Insights on the Mechanical Behavior of Keratin Fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research The Structure and Organization of Lanceolate Mechanosensory Complexes at Mouse Hair Follicles
Lanceolate complexes in mouse hair follicles are essential for touch and depend on specific cells for maintenance and regeneration.
research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 21 in Fond Memory of Dr. Peter Steinert
A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.
research Characterization of Human KAP24.1, A Cuticular Hair Keratin-Associated Protein with Unusual Amino Acid Composition and Repeat Structure
