Research
870-900 / 1000+ results research Pili trianguli et canaliculi as a phenotypic subtype in patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia: A scanning electron microscopy study
Hair shaft changes may be linked to CCCA, but their role is unclear.
research CXCL12 inhibits hair growth through CXCR4
CXCL12 protein slows down hair growth through its receptor CXCR4. Blocking this can potentially increase hair growth.
research A Novel Human Type II Cytokeratin, K6hf, Specifically Expressed in the Companion Layer of the Hair Follicle
K6hf is a unique protein found only in a specific layer of hair follicles.
research Regulatory T cells in skin utilize the Cxcr4-Cxcl12 axis to promote hair follicle regeneration
Regulatory T cells help hair growth by using the Cxcr4-Cxcl12 pathway.
research Characteristic microstructure of curved human hair
Curved human hair has different structures on its convex and concave sides.
research Characteristic Microstructure of Curved Human Hair
Curved human hair has different structures on each side, which might cause its shape and is similar to wool.
research Hard X-ray Microscopic Images of the Human Hair
High-resolution x-ray images showed three main structures in human hair: medulla, cortex, and cuticle.

Corkscrew hair may be a new sign for quickly diagnosing scalp fungus in black children.
research Differential effects of caffeine on hair shaft elongation, matrix and outer root sheath keratinocyte proliferation, and transforming growth factor‐β2/insulin‐like growth factor‐1‐mediated regulation of the hair cycle in male and female human hair folliclesin vitro
Caffeine affects hair growth and health differently in men and women.
research Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia
CCCA is a common, scarring hair loss in Black women that needs early detection.

The Cashmere goat hair keratin gene is crucial for hair structure.
research 3P343 Change of cell membrane complex of a hair fiber caused by hair damage
Chemical treatments damage hair more than UV exposure, making it thinner and less flexible.
research Analysis of the hair coat of domestic catswith special focus on histological structure
Domestic cat hair varies in thickness and length, with guard hairs being longest and thickest, and all hair types mainly contain keratin.
research Thymosin β4 Identified by Transcriptomic Analysis from HF Anagen to Telogen Promotes Proliferation of SHF-DPCs in Albas Cashmere Goat
Thymosin β4 helps increase hair growth in Cashmere goats.
research An ultrastructural study on corkscrew hairs and cigarette‐ash‐shaped hairs observed by dermoscopy of tinea capitis
Corkscrew and cigarette-ash-shaped hairs in tinea capitis are caused by internal hair degradation and external resistance.
research ‘A detective look’ at hair biopsies from African-American patients
Recognizing specific features of African-American hair can help diagnose hair loss conditions.
research Dermatoscopic features of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
Researchers found a white halo around hair in most patients with a specific type of hair loss, which helps in early diagnosis and treatment.
