Human hair is complex and grows in cycles starting from embryonic life.
research Structure of the sinus hair follicle in the big‐clawed shrew, Sorex unguiculatus
The big-clawed shrew's sinus hair follicles are highly specialized for sensing vibrations.
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 Human Hair Keratins.
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.
research Spontaneous Super-Contraction of Animal Hair
Animal hair can curl tightly on its own, especially in foxes, due to changes in keratin.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Helical twist direction in the macrofibrils of keratin fibres is left handed
Keratin fibers in hair twist left-handed.
research Human hair keratin network and curvature
Curly hair shape is due to uneven growth patterns in the hair follicle.
research Three-dimensional architecture of macrofibrils in the human scalp hair cortex
Human hair has a complex, variable structure with a consistent matrix and double-twist pattern.
research Development of Hair Fibres
research Fine Structure of Perifollicular Nerve Endings in Human Hair
research Structural interspecies variability of mammals' hairs
Mammal hairs have different internal structures.
research Curl secret in cells
Hair curliness is caused by the arrangement and length of two different cell types.
research ELECTRON MICROSCOPE STUDIES OF HAIR AND WOOL
Hair and wool have complex microscopic structures with microfibrils and varying cystine content.
research Pathogenesis in pili torti: morphological study
Pili torti hair twists due to uneven outer root sheath cell development.
research The three-dimensional microvascular and collagen fibrillar arrangements around rat vibrissa hairs as revealed by scanning electron microscopy
The lower part of rat vibrissa hair gets more blood and is well-protected for growth.
research Local structure of human hair spatially resolved by sub-micron X-ray beam
Human hair has a new region with ordered filaments and the cuticle contains β-keratin sheets.
research Divergent genetic mechanism leads to spiny hair in rodents
Rodent spiny hair traits are due to genetic factors other than the Edar gene.
research Acquired morphological changes of mammalian hair scales
Mammalian hair scales change from smooth to wavy due to friction.
research TRICHOSTASIS SPINULOSA
Trichostasis spinulosa mainly affects the nose, with many tiny hairs in one follicle, possibly influenced by hormones and sunlight.
research Nanoindentation of Hair Cortex and Medulla Regions
research Some electron microscope observations on hardening in the human hair follicle
The hair follicle structure is more complex than thought, with new findings on protein formation.
research Catagen in the hairless house mouse
Hairless mice have longer hair follicles and abnormal structures during the catagen phase.
research Circle hairs involving the extremities in a young girl
Circle hairs are harmless, spiral-shaped body hairs that don't need medical treatment.
research Hoxc13 mutant mice lack external hair
Hoxc13 gene is essential for hair, nail, and papilla development.
research Mapping cell dynamics in human ex vivo hair follicles suggests pulling mechanism of hair growth
Hair growth may involve a pulling force from the outer root sheath.
