research ‘Hirsutism’: A Psychological Analysis
Women with excess body hair feel psychological distress influenced by societal beauty standards, but distress isn't directly linked to the amount of hair.
research The Medicolegal Examination of Hairs
Hair analysis can offer clues about a person, but individual differences limit making precise identifications.

Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research MELATONIN
Melatonin may help with sleep issues, depression, and cancer, but more research is needed.
research Bulge cells of human hair follicles: segregation, cultivation and properties
Researchers found that bulge cells from human hair can grow quickly in culture and have properties of hair follicle stem cells, which could be useful for skin treatments.
research Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Hair Follicle–Specific Gene, Hacl-1
Researchers found a new gene, hacl-1, that is active in mouse hair follicles during hair growth and may be important for hair biology.
research Insights on the mechanical behavior of keratin fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research Pathological Studies of Cross‐Related Congenital Hypotrichosis in Cattle
Crossbreeding certain European cattle breeds may cause hair and physical issues in cattle.
research Effect of equilibrium pH on the structure and properties of bleach‐damaged human hair fibers
Hair's structure and properties change with pH; acidic pH maintains strength and less swelling, while alkaline pH increases water content and swelling.
research Mesenchymal Stem Cells With Modification of Junctional Adhesion Molecule A Induce Hair Formation
Modified stem cells that overexpress a specific protein can improve hair growth and reduce hair abnormalities in mice.
research Analysis of the expression pattern of the carrier protein transthyretin and its receptor megalin in the human scalp skin and hair follicles: hair cycle-associated changes
The proteins transthyretin and megalin are more present in the growth phase of hair, suggesting they might affect hair health and growth.
research High-throughput phenotyping methods for quantifying hair fiber morphology
Hair fiber shape and curvature are not significantly linked when ancestry is considered.
research Highly Conserved Keratin-Associated Protein 7-1 Gene in Yak, Taurine and Zebu Cattle
The KRTAP7-1 gene is very similar across different cattle and yak breeds and likely plays a role in hair strength and shape.
research High-throughput phenotyping methods for quantifying hair fiber morphology
Quantifying hair shape is better than using racial categories for understanding hair characteristics.
research Quantifying Polymer Deposition on Hair Fibers by Microfluorometry
Microfluorometry effectively measures how much polymer coats and penetrates hair, useful for evaluating hair products.
research Functional analysis of the PIP5K1A gene in Liaoning Cashmere goats: an investigation based on bioinformatics, tissue localization, and biological functions
The PIP5K1A gene helps cashmere growth in goats by promoting cell proliferation, and melatonin boosts its expression.
research Folklore Herbal Plants as a Safe and Natural Hair Depilatories
Herbal depilatories are safer and cause fewer side effects than chemical ones for hair removal.
research Characteristics of the microscopic hair structure of domestic mammals from Equidae family
Donkey and horse hair have different microscopic structures, which can help tell them apart.
research Cells within the bulge region of mouse hair follicle transiently proliferate during early anagen: heterogeneity and functional differences of various hair cycles
Mouse hair follicle cells briefly grow during the early hair growth phase, showing that these cells are important for starting the hair cycle.
research The Proximal Promoter of the Human Transglutaminase 3 Gene
The TGM3 gene's promoter region is key for skin and hair cell function and may aid gene therapy.
research Surgical Atlas. Primary hypospadias repair with buccal mucosa
Using buccal mucosa for hypospadias repair in children is effective and reduces complications.
