research Promotion of hair follicle development and trichogenesis by Wnt-10b in cultured embryonic skin and in reconstituted skin
Wnt-10b is important for starting hair growth and developing hair follicles.
research Raman spectroscopy and electronic microscopy structural studies of Caucasian and Afro human hair
Hair treatments cause significant structural changes, especially with excessive heat, regardless of ethnicity.
research Eyelash trichomegaly: review of congenital, acquired, and drug‐associated etiologies for elongation of the eyelashes
The document concludes that eyelash trichomegaly, which is the abnormal growth of eyelashes, can be present from birth, caused by diseases, or result from certain medications.
research Human pollution exposure correlates with accelerated ultrastructural degradation of hair fibers
Pollution exposure speeds up hair damage.
research Alopecia: A Pathologist's View
The review concludes that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires proper biopsy techniques and understanding the hair growth cycle and underlying causes.
research Immunolocalization of a Histidine-Rich Epidermal Differentiation Protein in the Chicken Supports the Hypothesis of an Evolutionary Developmental Link between the Embryonic Subperiderm and Feather Barbs and Barbules
A specific protein in chicken embryos links early skin layers to feather development.
research The Metabolism and Control Mechanism of Human Hair Follicles
Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.
research Bone vs. fat: Embryonic origin of progenitors determines response to androgen in adipocytes and osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND CONTEMPORARY HUMAN HAIR COMPOSITION AND MORPHOLOGY
Mummy hair's chemical composition may not accurately show ancient people's health due to environmental contamination.
research Label Retention Identifies a Multipotent Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Like Population in the Postnatal Thymus
The postnatal thymus has cells like mesenchymal stem cells that can become different cell types and help maintain thymus structure.
research Identification of an Intronic Regulatory Element Necessary for Tissue-Specific Expression of Foxn1 in Thymic Epithelial Cells
A specific DNA region is crucial for Foxn1 gene expression in thymus cells but not in hair follicles.
research The G60S Connexin43 Mutant Regulates Hair Growth and Hair Fiber Morphology in a Mouse Model of Human Oculodentodigital Dysplasia
The G60S Connexin43 mutation causes hair growth issues and poor hair quality in mice, similar to human ODDD patients.
research TLRgeting Evasion of Immune Pathways in Glioblastoma
Some brain cancer cells avoid immune system detection, and certain treatments could target this to slow their growth; also, certain fat cell precursors help regenerate hair and skin after injury.
research Adam10 haploinsufficiency causes freckle-like macules in Hairless mice
A mutation in the Adam10 gene causes freckle-like spots on Hairless mice.
research Localisation and regulation of cholesterol transporters in the human hair follicle: mapping changes across the hair cycle
Cholesterol transport in hair follicles decreases from growth to regression phase.
research Ppp2r2a Knockout Mice Reveal That Protein Phosphatase 2A Regulatory Subunit, PP2A-B55α, Is an Essential Regulator of Neuronal and Epidermal Embryonic Development
The PP2A-B55α protein is essential for brain and skin development in embryos.
research Environmental and Cosmetic Factors in Hair Loss and Destruction
Environmental and cosmetic factors, including heat, chemicals, and sun exposure, can cause hair loss and damage.
research Protein and amino acid composition of hair from mice carrying the naked (N) gene
The N gene affects the protein makeup of mouse hair.
research Systems Approach to Human Hair Fibers: Interdependence Between Physical, Mechanical, Biochemical and Geometric Properties of Natural Healthy Hair
Hair properties are interconnected; a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary approach is essential for understanding hair behavior.
research Exogenous Factors in Hair Disorders
Outside factors like grooming, chemicals, and the environment can damage hair and cause disorders.
research Chemotherapy-Induced Hair Loss: The Use of Biomarkers for Predicting Alopecic Severity and Treatment Efficacy
Scalp cooling to prevent hair loss from chemotherapy works for some but not all, and studying hair damage markers could improve prevention and treatment.
research Structure of intermediate filament assembly in hair deduced from hydration studies using small-angle neutron scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research Experimental cutaneous Bacillus anthracis infections in hairless HRS/J mice
Hairless HRS/J mice resist Bacillus anthracis skin infections due to high numbers of immune cells, not because they lack hair follicles.
research Light Microscopic Hair Abnormalities in Children: Retrospective Review of 119 Cases in a 10-Year Period
Over half of the children had abnormal hair under a microscope, with many having genetic hair conditions.
research Structural Abnormalities in the Hair of a Patient with a Novel Ribosomopathy
The patient's hair was thinner and had fewer lipids due to a genetic mutation.
research The Potential of a Hair Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Conditioned Medium for Wound Healing and Hair Follicle Regeneration
Hair growth medium helps heal wounds and regrow hair in mice.
research Assessment of hair and cashmere properties and their genetic background of several goat breeds in Southwest China
Crossbreeding improves goat fiber quality, and specific genes affect hair traits and color.
research Transcriptional Control of Epidermal Stem Cells
Certain transcription factors are key in controlling skin stem cell behavior and could impact future treatments for skin repair and hair loss.
research Genome-based analysis of the genetic pattern of black sheep in Qira sheep
