This study reports that trichocyte intermediate filaments from rat vibrissae and human hair follicles may contain a hollow region at their core, suggesting unique structural properties.

Molecular dynamics simulations help understand keratin's properties and predict hair's response to treatments.

This study demonstrated that molecular dynamics simulations of keratin could effectively model the mechanical properties of hair, aligning well with experimental data, especially when conducted in vacuum conditions.

This study suggests that varying intersheet interactions may explain the differences between the two polymorphic forms of macrofibril assembly in Merino wool and hair.

This study identified two types of hard alpha-keratin filament assemblies in developing human hair follicles, which may help investigate the structural framework of mammalian keratin appendages.

The document explains how hair is studied in forensics to identify its source and its role in criminal investigations.

This article reviews the potential hair-protective effects of Onion and Aloe vera against damage from hair dyes but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers from various animals were similar, despite different structural features, with sorbed water being more ordered than liquid water.

This study examined developing hair cortex with electron microscopy and found that keratin fibrils form between specific regions in hair follicles and aggregate into twisted cables.

This review discusses the role of keratins in epithelial cell stress protection and cancer, highlighting their potential as multifunctional regulators and diagnostic markers, without presenting new research findings.

This study suggests that human keratin fiber matrix has a well-defined nano-scale grainy structure rather than being amorphous, with grain size influenced by chemical treatments, temperature, humidity, and follicle-level factors.

This review discusses changes in keratin structure or gene expression that result in various skin disorders and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that homocysteine-keratin accumulation in human hair increases towards the tips, linked to copper/iron-catalyzed demethylation of methionine, and may contribute to keratin damage.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that human hair keratins can self-assemble into stable nanofibrous networks in vitro, which are compatible with human skin cells and useful for regenerative applications.

This study demonstrates that (9+2) topological patterns derived from fractal fiber sets exist, with nine total patterns and only two being independent or fundamental.

This study presents a new method for evaluating cosmetic treatments by measuring the resistance of hair to mechanical wear, revealing differences related to hair ethnicity and treatment type.

Hair increases in size when it absorbs water, and treatments like bleaching affect how much water it can take in.

This article discusses the characteristics of human hair, its damaging processes, and the potential repair effects of immuno-cosmeceuticals, but it reports no new clinical results.

Natural products might help treat hair greying.

Hair health is influenced by genetics, aging, and environmental factors, with proper care needed to maintain it.

This study found that intermediate filaments and matrix proteins in presumptive hair shaft cells are synthesized sequentially, identifying a new polypeptide component that changes during hair cell differentiation.

This study investigated the tensile response and morphological changes of different ethnic hair types using AFM, showing variations between virgin, chemically damaged, and conditioner-treated Caucasian hair under different conditions.

This chapter reviews formulation principles for creating cosmetic nanoemulsions and applications targeting skin and hair care, but does not present new experimental results.

This study found that coconut oil impedes hair hydration more effectively than soybean oil by penetrating deeper, and suggested a new model for intermediate filament assembly in hair.

This chapter discusses the structure and function of the skin, detailing its protective roles and the layers that comprise it, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that heating damages Asian black male and female hair cuticles without altering their structure, with damage severity increasing at higher temperatures and longer exposure times.

This industry update reports on various advancements in therapeutic delivery during July 2018, highlighting active mergers, collaborations, and potential developments across fields like gene therapy, immuno-oncology, and rare diseases treatment; however, no new clinical results are presented.

This study highlighted the promising health benefits of taxifolin, a flavonoid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other protective effects found in foods like onions and milk thistle, though more research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and safety for human therapeutic use.
