Monilethrix causes short, fragile hair with no specific treatment available.
research Whiskers amiss, a new vibrissae and hair mutation near the Krt1 cluster on mouse Chromosome 11
A new mutation in mice causes crooked whiskers and messy hair.
research Homozygous whole body Cbs knockout in adult mice features minimal pathology during ageing despite severe homocysteinemia
Adult mice with CBS deficiency show minimal health issues and normal lifespan despite high homocysteine levels.
research A Case of Beau’s Lines at Even Intervals and Onycholysis Caused by Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy caused nail grooves and separation, but they healed after treatment stopped.
research Inherited epidermolysis bullosa: clinical and therapeutic aspects
The document concludes that inherited epidermolysis bullosa is a challenging genetic condition requiring multidisciplinary care and new treatments.
research Characterization of tiger tail banding and hair shaft abnormalities in trichothiodystrophy
Tiger tail banding and hair abnormalities are reliable indicators for diagnosing trichothiodystrophy.
research Femoral Neck Stress Fracture Complicated by Deep Venous Thrombosis and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A Case Report
A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for treating stress fractures and related complications in athletes.
research Canestick Lesion of Vellus Hair in Netherton's Syndrome
Recognizing the "bamboo hair defect" is crucial for diagnosing Netherton's syndrome.
research Curly : a new hair defect mutation in the SELH/bc mouse strain
The curly mutation in SELH/Bc mice affects hair and may help study human genetic disorders.
research Age-associated thin hair displays molecular, structural and mechanical characteristic changes
Older thin hair is not just thinner but also has different shape, structure, and stiffness.
research Pohl-Pinkus constrictions of hair following chemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease
Chemotherapy caused the patient's hair to have alternating thick and thin segments.
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 Cysteine and Glutamine level in hair shaft fractures patients
Cysteine strengthens hair, and glutamine fuels hair growth.
research High-sulfur protein deficient human hair: clinical aspects and biochemical study of two unreported cases of a variant type of trichothiodystrophy
Two patients had a unique form of trichothiodystrophy with reduced high-sulfur proteins in their hair.
research Carbonylation of hair proteins: A robust biomarker of molecular and structural oxidative damage in hair fibres
Protein carbonylation is a sensitive marker for oxidative damage in hair, especially from light exposure.
research Nanoindentation of Hair Cortex and Medulla Regions
research Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex Keratinocytes Show Disturbed Mitochondrial Positioning and Activity
Skin cells from people with Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex have abnormally placed and less active mitochondria.
research A Mouse Model for the Basal Transcription/DNA Repair Syndrome Trichothiodystrophy
Researchers created a mouse with the same mutation as humans with trichothiodystrophy, showing similar symptoms and confirming the condition is due to defects in DNA repair and gene activity.
research Sculpting with stiffness: rigidity as a regulator of morphogenesis
Tissue stiffness helps shape how organisms develop.
research Spink5-deficient mice mimic Netherton syndrome through degradation of desmoglein 1 by epidermal protease hyperactivity
research Torsional method for evaluating hair damage and performance of hair care ingredients
