research Sox13 is a novel early marker for hair follicle development
Sox13 is a useful marker for early hair follicle development but not essential for hair growth.
research An efficient method for eccrine gland isolation from human scalp
Scientists developed a way to isolate sweat glands from the scalp during hair transplants, keeping them alive for 6 days for research and cosmetic uses.
research Alopecia in Harlequin mutant mice is associated with reduced AIF protein levels and expression of retroviral elements
Harlequin mutant mice have hair loss due to low AIF protein levels and retroviral element activity.
research Impairment of autophagy may be associated with follicular miniaturization in androgenetic alopecia by inducing premature catagen
Impaired autophagy may cause hair loss by triggering early catagen.
research Development of a mechanically stable human hair keratin film for cell culture
A new film made from human hair supports skin cell growth better than collagen.
research A Homozygous Missense Variant in K25 Underlying Overlapping Phenotype with Woolly Hair and Dental Anomalies
A specific mutation in the K25 gene causes a rare genetic disorder with curly hair at birth and later hair loss, along with dental issues.
research A novel homozygous variant in the dsp gene underlies the first case of non-syndromic form of alopecia
A new gene variant in the DSP gene is linked to a unique type of hair loss.
