30 / 1000+ resultsresearch Formation of the Iε-(γ-Glutamyl)Lysine Crosslink in Hair Proteins: Investigation of Transamidases in Hair Follicles
Transamidases help form strong crosslinks in hair proteins, crucial for hair strength.
research Protein Disulfide Isomerase-Mediated Grafting of Cysteine-Containing Peptides onto Over-Bleached Hair
PDI helps restore over-bleached hair's strength and structure by attaching special peptides.
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 Age-Related Hair Changes in Men: Mechanisms and Management of Alopecia and Graying
Men's hair loss is caused by hormones and genes, and can be treated with medication and surgery, while graying is due to aging and has no prevention except dyeing.
research Structure of Intermediate Filament Assembly in Hair Deduced from Hydration Studies Using Small-Angle Neutron Scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research Exploring the Effects of Wetting and Free Fatty Acid Deposition on a Hair Fiber Surface Model Incorporating Keratin Associated Protein 5-1
Water and fatty acids affect hair's surface differently based on hair damage, and models can help understand hair-cosmetic interactions.
research Heme Oxygenase and the Skin in Health and Disease
HO-1 helps skin health and healing but can worsen melanoma; it's a potential treatment target for skin diseases.
research Keratin Network Modifications Lead to the Mechanical Stiffening of the Hair Follicle Fiber
Changes in keratin make hair follicles stiffer.
research Compendium of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Its Relevance in Glycation and Diabetes
PCOS is linked to diabetes and insulin resistance, and managing AGEs may help treat related symptoms.
research Porosity at Different Structural Levels in Human and Yak Belly Hair and Its Effect on Hair Dyeing
Yak belly hair has higher porosity and is less stiff than human hair, making it absorb dye better but less suitable as a direct substitute for hair dyeing.
research What Ages Hair?
Hair aging and loss are caused by genetics, hormones, environment, and grooming, with treatments like minoxidil effective for certain types of hair loss.
research The Morphological Basis of Vicuña Wool: Skin and Gland Structure in Vicugna Vicugna (Molina 1782)
