Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.
research Ectopic Expression of a Truncated Isoform of Hair Keratin 81 in Breast Cancer Alters Biophysical Characteristics to Promote Metastatic Propensity
A specific hair protein variant increases the spread of breast cancer and is linked to worse survival rates.
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 An Integrated Analysis of Cashmere Fineness lncRNAs in Cashmere Goats
lncRNA XLOC_008679 and gene KRT35 affect cashmere fineness in goats.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cell Progeny Heal Blisters While Pausing Skin Development
Skin healing from blisters can delay hair growth as stem cells focus on repairing skin over developing hair.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cell Progeny Heal Blisters While Pausing Skin Development
When skin blisters, healing the wound is more important than growing hair, and certain stem cells mainly fix the blisters without helping hair growth.
research Chapter 4: Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
research Structural Features of the Alpha-Type Filaments of the Inner Root Sheath Cells of the Guinea Pig Hair Follicle
α-type filaments in guinea pig hair follicles have unique structural features.
research Expression Pattern of Cyclooxygenase-2 in Normal Rat Epidermis and Pilosebaceous Unit During Hair Cycle
COX-2 levels change during the hair cycle and affect skin and hair growth.
research Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Hair Follicle-Specific Gene, Hacl-1
Researchers found a new gene, hacl-1, that is active in mouse hair follicles during hair growth and may be important for hair biology.
research The Arrector Pili Muscle: The Bridge Between the Follicular Stem Cell Niche and the Interfollicular Epidermis
The study suggests that the arrector pili muscle is important for hair health and its damage might contribute to hair loss.
research Decay of Skin-Specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, leading to their unique scales and skin features.
research Keratin Formation in the Hair Follicle
Keratin fibrils in hair form and stop growing at specific points in the follicle.
research Protein Extraction from Human Anagen Head Hairs 1 Millimeter or Less in Total Length
A new method was developed to extract and analyze proteins from very short human hairs.
