720-750 / 1000+ resultsresearch LB965 Follicular trochanters: A potential mechanism for stem cell depletion in scarring alopecia
Hair follicle bumps with stem cells might contribute to permanent hair loss by getting disconnected due to scarring.
research Sequences and differential expression of three novel human type-II hair keratins
Hair differentiation starts earlier than thought, involving multiple type-II keratins.
research Woolly hair with alopecia areata in a Caucasian girl
A young Caucasian girl had both woolly hair and alopecia areata, which is rare.
research Glucose and acetate metabolism by isolated sheep wool follicles
Sheep wool follicles can metabolize both glucose and acetate using different pathways important for wool growth.
research Human hair keratins
research 1270 Fibroproliferative genes are preferentially expressed in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
CCCA may be a fibroproliferative disorder, and anti-fibrotic therapies could help.
research Histological and dermatoscopic description of sphynx cat skin
Sphynx cats have abnormal hair follicles and keratinization affecting their skin.
research 성장기 모낭에서 큐티클층의 각질화 과정
The cuticle layer in hair follicles thickens during keratinization due to incomplete cytosol loss.
research Ultrastructural Localization of Hair Keratins in Human Scalp Hair Shafts as Revealed by Rapid-Freezing Immunocytochemistry.
Hair keratins are mainly on macrofibrils in the cortex and in the endocuticle in the cuticle.
research Horse hair follicles: A novel dermal stem cell source for equine regenerative medicine
Horse hair follicles could be a new source of stem cells for healing horses.
research Quantifying whole human hair scalp fibres of varying curl: A micro‐computed tomographic study
Human hair varies in structure based on curl type, with high curl hair showing the most differences.
research Ultrastructural characteristics of trichilemmal cysts: report of two cases
Trichilemmal cysts may form from hair follicle outer root sheath growth.
research Sequence, expression, and evolutionary conservation of a gene encoding a glycine/tyrosine-rich keratin-associated protein of hair.
KAP6 genes are conserved across species and active in hair follicles.
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.
research Expression of the Intermediate Filament Keratin Gene,K15,in the Basal Cell Layers of Epithelia and the Hair Follicle
K15 gene is mainly active in the basal layers of hair follicles and epithelia, aiding early skin cell development.
research TRICHOSTASIS SPINULOSA
Trichostasis spinulosa mainly affects the nose, with many tiny hairs in one follicle, possibly influenced by hormones and sunlight.
research Sequence Analysis and Expression of a TypeIHair Keratin Gene in Goat Skin
The goat hair keratin gene is very similar to sheep's and is strongly expressed in goat hair follicles.
research Fine structure of marsupial hairs, with emphasis on trichohyalin and the structure of the inner root sheath
Marsupial hair structure and keratin distribution are similar to placental mammals.
research Pulling force deforms hair follicle root sheath nuclei and surrounding dermal collagen matrix differently at infundibulum, isthmus and suprabulbar regions
Hair follicles respond differently to pulling forces in various regions.
research Special Biochemical Features of the Hair Follicle
Hair follicles have unique proteins that vary by species and are influenced by nutrition.

Thinner hair follicle structures are linked to non-scar alopecia.
research Seasonal changes in the morphology of wool follicles in Finewool and Strongwool Merino strains grazing at different stocking rates in southern Australia
Stocking rate affects wool follicle inactivity, not Merino strain.
research Human hair keratin network and curvature
Curly hair shape is due to uneven growth patterns in the hair follicle.
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 Follicular ichthyosis
The four patients have a unique type of ichthyosis affecting hair follicles.
research Morphological features of the general cover in long-haired cat breeds
Long-haired cats have thinner skin where hair is thicker, and all have unique collagen patterns.
research Structural analysis of human hair single fibres by scanning microbeam SAXS
Hair curliness is due to uneven distribution of different cortices within the hair fiber.
