research A new practical classification for spatial distribution and morphology of human hair: Ahmad's LGMA classification
Dr. Muhammad Ahmad created a hair classification system to help improve hair restoration surgery outcomes.
research Skin shedding and tissue regeneration in African spiny mice (Acomys)
African spiny mice can regenerate skin, hair, and cartilage, but not muscle, and their unique abilities could be useful for regenerative medicine.
research Healthy Hair: Form and Function
Hair health is influenced by genetics, aging, and environmental factors, with proper care needed to maintain it.
research Methods in hair research: how to objectively distinguish between anagen and catagen in human hair follicle organ culture
A reliable system was developed to distinguish hair growth stages, aiding in identifying hair growth promoters or inhibitors.
research Genome scan for signatures of adaptive evolution in wild African goat (capra nubiana)
Wild African goats have genetic adaptations for surviving harsh desert conditions.
research Morphological and morphometric study of the androgenetic alopecic scalp using two- and three-dimensional analysis comparing regional differences
The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.
research The Genomic Variation in Textured Hair: Implications in Developing a Holistic Hair Care Routine
Afro-textured hair needs personalized care due to its unique genetic traits.
research A comparison of vertical versus transverse sections in the evaluation of alopecia biopsy specimens
Using both vertical and transverse sections gives a better diagnosis of alopecia than using one method alone.
research High-throughput phenotyping methods for quantifying hair fiber morphology
Hair fiber shape and curvature are not significantly linked when ancestry is considered.
research Symmetry breaking of tissue mechanics in wound induced hair follicle regeneration of laboratory and spiny mice
Tissue stiffness affects hair follicle regeneration, and Twist1 is a key regulator.
research Effect of ethnicity and treatments on in situ tensile response and morphological changes of human hair characterized by atomic force microscopy
Different ethnicities and treatments affect human hair strength and structure.
research In vivo expansion and regeneration of full‐thickness functional skin with an autologous homologous skin construct: Clinical proof of concept for chronic wound healing
A new skin treatment using a patient's own cells healed chronic wounds effectively and was preferred over traditional grafts.
research Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
CCCA is a scarring hair loss condition mainly in African descent women, possibly caused by genetics and hairstyling, treated with gentle hair care and medications.
research Variation in human hair ultrastructure among three biogeographic populations
Different populations have distinct hair structures related to their ancestry.
research A Classic Presentation of Acne Keloidalis Nuchae in a Black Male
Acne keloidalis nuchae causes scarring on the scalp, mainly in African American males, and early treatment is important to prevent lasting damage.
research A genome-wide association scan in admixed Latin Americans identifies loci influencing facial and scalp hair features
Genetic factors influence hair traits like shape, color, and greying in Latin Americans.
research Hair Regeneration under Stress
Mice can regrow hair on wounds due to specific cell interactions and mechanical forces not seen in rats.
research Hair Changes Caused by Aging
Aging causes hair to gray and thin, with the timing of graying varying by race, and factors like oxidative stress and genetics can lead to hair loss.
research Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia amalgamated with alopecia areata: immunologic findings
The patient with both scarring and non-scarring hair loss showed complex immune reactions and improved with steroid treatment.
research Anatomical development of the skin in foetuses of Red Sokoto goats (Capra hircus)
Red Sokoto goat fetuses develop firmer, pigmented skin with hair follicles as they grow.
research Alteration in Hair Texture Following Regrowth in Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata caused a boy's hair to regrow straight instead of curly, but the exact reason is unknown.
research Pigmented Casts
Pigmented casts are common in several hair loss conditions and can help diagnose specific types of alopecia.
