research Patchy presentation of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
CCCA can appear as patchy hair loss in younger men, not just the usual pattern.
research Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in Black men: A case series highlighting key clinical features in this cohort
The document concludes that early and accurate diagnosis of hair loss on the top of the scalp in Black men is important to distinguish CCCA from other types of hair loss.
research Central hair loss in African American women: Incidence and potential risk factors
Some African American women's central scalp hair loss is linked to genetics and past fungal scalp infections, with more research needed on other causes.
research Familial Uncombable Hair Syndrome: Ultrastructural Hair Study and Response to Biotin
Biotin improved hair appearance in uncombable hair syndrome but didn't change hair structure.
research Hair Breakage as a Presenting Sign of Early or Occult Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia
Hair breakage may be an early sign of a hair loss condition called CCCA in African American women.
research A highly resistant structure between cuticle and cortex of human hair
A tough membrane between the outer and inner layers of human hair protects it from damage.
research Sphingolipid metabolism orchestrates the establishment of the adult hair follicle stem cell niche to control skin homeostasis
A specific enzyme is essential for proper hair follicle stem cell development and healthy skin.
research Analysis of heterogeneous reaction between reducing agents and keratin fibers using Raman spectroscopy and microspectrophotometry
The study found that thioglycolic acid breaks down hair bonds more consistently than l-cysteine, which is less damaging to hair.
research ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND CONTEMPORARY HUMAN HAIR COMPOSITION AND MORPHOLOGY
Mummy hair's chemical composition may not accurately show ancient people's health due to environmental contamination.
research Action of Thioglycolic Acid and L-Cysteine to Disulfide Cross-Links in Hair Fibers during Permanent Waving Treatment
Thioglycolic acid and L-cysteine change hair structure differently during perms, affecting hair strength and curling efficiency.
research "Curly" Wood and Tiger Tails
Tiger tail bands in hair are caused by wavy hair fibers with melanin, unlike straight fibers in normal hair.
research Molecular Regulation of Secondary Hair Follicle Stem Cell by S100a4 in Cashmere Goat
S100a4 is key for hair growth in cashmere goats.
research The RAIG Family Member, GPRC5D, Is Associated with Hard-Keratinized Structures
GPRC5D is linked to the formation of hair, nails, and certain tongue areas.
research Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Analysis of Human Hair Fiber Structure
Human hair has different protein structures in its cuticle and cortex.
research EBF1 expressed in the dermal papilla regulates hair type and length
EBF1 controls hair type and length.
research Familial hypotrichosis of the scalp. Autosomal dominant inheritance in four generations.
A family had a genetic condition causing hair loss on the scalp, passed down through four generations.
research Physical Properties of Human Hair. 1. Evaluation of Bending Stress by Measuring the Major and the Minor Axis of Human Hair.
The cuticle significantly contributes to hair stiffness, making up about 60% of the total bending stress.
research The Negative Regulator CXXC5: Making WNT Look a Little Less Dishevelled
CXXC5 is a protein that prevents hair growth and could be a target for hair loss treatment.
research Common Variants in the Trichohyalin Gene Are Associated with Straight Hair in Europeans
Common variants in the Trichohyalin gene are linked to straight hair in Europeans.
research Role of Csdc2 in Regulating Secondary Hair Follicle Growth in Cashmere Goats
Csdc2 helps hair growth in cashmere goats by regulating specific genes.
research Caffeine docking studies with keratin: Implications for its cosmetic applications
Caffeine may be good for hair growth and skin care because it binds well with keratin.
research Contrasting Localization of c-Myc with Other Myc Superfamily Transcription Factors in the Human Hair Follicle and During the Hair Growth Cycle
Different Myc family proteins are located in various parts of the hair follicle and may affect stem cell behavior.
research Internal structure changes in bleached black human hair resulting from chemical treatments: A Raman spectroscopic investigation
Chemical treatments on bleached black hair change its internal structure by breaking and reforming bonds, and treatments with hydrolyzed eggwhite protein help repair it.
research Effect of Disulfide Bonds in Human Hair Fibers on the Melting Behavior of Their Crystalline Structure
Changing disulfide bonds in human hair affects its melting behavior and thermal stability.
research Coudability hairs: a revisited sign of alopecia areata assessed by trichoscopy
Coudability hairs are useful markers for alopecia areata activity.
research Distribution and Localization of Hydrophobic and Ionic Chemical Groups at the Surface of Bleached Human Hair Fibers
Bleaching hair removes its protective top layer and exposes more hydrophilic groups, changing its chemical surface and affecting how it interacts with products.
research Prevalence and Etiology of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia
CCCA is a common scarring hair loss in African descent women, possibly linked to genetics, hair care practices, and health issues like diabetes.
research 50-Year-Old Female with a Burning Scalp and Hair Loss
A condition called Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia causes hair loss and scalp burning in middle-aged African women, and it's treated with various medications, hair transplants, and non-drug methods like wigs.
research Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia: possible familial aetiology in two African families from South Africa
The conclusion is that hair loss from CCCA may be genetic and not solely caused by hair grooming practices.
