960-990 / 1000+ resultsresearch Characterization of a Hair (Wool) Keratin Intermediate Filament Gene Domain
research Human Hair Keratins.
research Multiscale modelling of human hair
Human hair becomes weaker and stretches more easily at higher temperatures.
research Research Highlights
Hair loss significantly affects quality of life, wet combing is better than visual inspection for finding head lice, many with oral lichen planus have allergies, and wet wraps with steroids quickly improve itchy skin conditions.
research Cap Wearing and Quality of Life in Patients with Androgenic Alopecia amongst Indian Population
Wearing a cap doesn't affect quality of life for Indian men with hair loss, but severe hair loss does lower it. Older men have more severe hair loss, and those who wear caps more often want less treatment.
research A Missense Mutation within the Helix Initiation Motif of the Keratin K71 Gene Underlies Autosomal Dominant Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis
A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.
research Treatment Patterns and Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients with Alopecia Areata Stratified by Disease Severity in the USA
More severe alopecia areata can lower quality of life.
research Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
CCCA is a common, progressive hair loss condition that may not always be linked to hair care practices and requires a biopsy for diagnosis.
research Hair resistance to mechanical wear
Hair's resistance to wear varies by ethnicity and treatment, with less wear indicating stronger hair.
research Tactile and hair-hair friction behavior of hair fibers
Hair feels different when touched and rubs together in various ways.
research Identification of differentially expressed Gnαs and Gnα11 in sheep ( Ovis aries ) skins associated with white and black coat colors
Black sheep have higher levels of Gnαs and Gnα11 proteins, which may affect their coat color.
research Characterization of the Promoter Regions of Two Sheep Keratin-Associated Protein Genes for Hair Cortex-Specific Expression
The KRTAP11-1 gene promoter is crucial for specific expression in sheep wool cortex.
research THE N- AND C-TERMINAL END GROUPS OF HAIR KERATIN
Human and horse hair have similar end groups to wool and feathers.
research 51658 Hair Loss and Quality of Life in Muslim American Women
Hair loss significantly affects the quality of life for Muslim American women, especially those not wearing hijab.
research Factors which affect the fibre output of isolated wool follicles maintained in vitro
Wool growth is mainly controlled by external factors and specific proteins, not the follicles themselves.
research Arrangement of elastic fibres in the integument of domesticated mammals.
Elastic fiber arrangement in mammal skin varies by hair density and body region.
research Prevalent founder mutation c.736T>A of LIPH in autosomal recessive woolly hair of Japanese leads to variable severity of hypotrichosis in adulthood
A specific gene mutation in Japanese people can cause varying degrees of hair thinning in adulthood.
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 Effects of Intradermally Injected and Topically Applied Mouse Epidermal Growth Factor on Wool Growth, Skin and Wool Follicles of Merino Sheep
Mouse epidermal growth factor injections in sheep affected wool growth and skin, but saline did not.
research Collagen-type synthesis in human-hair papilla cells in culture
research Investigating the origins of nanostructural variations in differential ethnic hair types using X‐ray scattering techniques
Different ethnic hair types have unique nanoscopic and molecular features despite having the same basic keratin structure.
research Yak Hair Fibers Surface Modification Treated by Plasma
research Characteristics of central cicatricial centrifugal alopecia that developed in elderly compared with younger patients
Elderly patients with CCCA were all African American with low vitamin D, but no iron or zinc deficiencies, and no hormonal imbalances compared to younger patients.
research Cost-effectively dissecting the genetic architecture of complex wool traits in rabbits by low-coverage sequencing
Low-coverage sequencing is a cost-effective way to find genetic factors affecting rabbit wool traits.
research Azimuthal Scattering from Elliptical Hair Fibers
Light scatters differently from elliptical hair fibers than from circular ones, and a new model better predicts this behavior, especially for shiny highlights.
research Case report: Exploring autosomal recessive woolly hair: genetic and scanning electron microscopic perspectives on a Japanese patient
A genetic mutation in the LIPH gene causes tightly curled hair that stops growing in some Japanese individuals.
research High-throughput phenotyping methods for quantifying hair fiber morphology
Hair fiber shape and curvature are not significantly linked when ancestry is considered.
research Microanatomical Observations of Hair Characteristics of Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), Golden Jackal (Canis aureus), and Gray Wolf (Canis lupus): A Comparative Study
Red fox, golden jackal, and gray wolf hairs have similar features but differ in length, thickness, and inner structure.
