research AN ATTEMPT TO ASSESS THE MAGNITUDE OF ENDOGENOUS ANDROGEN PRODUCTION IN A CASE OF THE ADRENOGENITAL SYNDROME*
A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research Alterations in Hair Follicle Morphology and Hair Shaft Production After Follicular Unit Transplantation
Hair transplants can make hair follicles larger and hair shafts thicker.
research Keratin-mediated hair growth and its underlying biological mechanism
Keratin injections can promote hair growth by affecting hair-forming cells and tissue development.
