research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: annotated tables
Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.
research Ethnic hair update: Past and present
Dermatologists need to understand African American hair-care practices to better treat their hair and scalp disorders.
research Distinguishing Androgenetic Alopecia From Chronic Telogen Effluvium When Associated in the Same Patient

research Permanent Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia in Patients with Breast Cancer: A 3-Year Prospective Cohort Study
Some breast cancer patients still experience hair loss three years after chemotherapy, especially with taxane-based treatments.
research The Ethnic Differences of the Damage of Hair and Integral Hair Lipid after Ultra Violet Radiation
Asian hair is more resistant to UV damage due to higher lipid content.
research Normal Hair Growth in Children
Children's hair grows in different types from before birth through puberty, with growth rates and characteristics varying by age, sex, and race.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: An update
The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
research Evaluation of DNA Variants Associated with Androgenetic Alopecia and Their Potential to Predict Male Pattern Baldness
DNA variants can predict male pattern baldness, with higher risk scores increasing baldness likelihood.
research Changing the shape of hair with keratin peptides
Keratin peptides can change hair shape gently without harsh chemicals.
research The biology of hair diversity
Hair diversity is influenced by complex genetics and environmental factors, requiring more research for practical solutions.
research Effect of ethnicity and treatments on in situ tensile response and morphological changes of human hair characterized by atomic force microscopy
Different ethnicities and treatments affect human hair strength and structure.
research Alopecia and Mood Stabilizer Therapy
Hair loss from mood stabilizers is common but can be managed without stopping the medication.
research Evaluation of the predictive capacity of DNA variants associated with straight hair in Europeans
Certain DNA variants can predict straight hair in Europeans but are not highly specific.
research Traction Alopecia
Tight hairstyles, especially on chemically treated hair, can cause reversible hair loss if caught early but may become permanent if not addressed.
research Use of Body Hair and Beard Hair in Hair Restoration
Body and beard hair can be used for hair restoration in severely bald patients, but the technique is complex and costly.
research The hair follicle enigma
The document concludes that understanding hair follicles requires more research using computational methods and an integrative approach, considering the current limitations in hair treatment products.
research Hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent: an overview
The document concludes that clinicians should be aware of common hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent and that more research is needed to develop effective treatments.
research Body Hair Transplant by Follicular Unit Extraction: My Experience With 122 Patients
Body hair transplantation is an effective method for restoring hair in people with severe baldness and limited scalp donor hair.
research Geometric classification of scalp hair for valid drug testing, 6 more reliable than 8 hair curl groups
A 6-group hair classification is more reliable for drug testing than an 8-group system.
research The Hair Shedding Visual Scale: A Quick Tool to Assess Hair Loss in Women
The new visual scale is a quick and effective way to measure hair loss in women.
research Hair shaft abnormalities after chemotherapy and tamoxifen therapy in patients with breast cancer evaluated by optical coherence tomography
Chemotherapy can cause significant hair thinning and changes in hair texture, while tamoxifen has a smaller effect.
research Hair coat characteristics in Friesian heifers in the Netherlands and Kenya : experimental data and a review of literature
Friesian heifers take about 18 months to adapt to Kenya's climate, with hair changes not strongly linked to weight gain.
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 Gender differences in scalp hair growth rates are maintained but reduced in pattern hair loss compared to controls
Women's hair grows faster and thicker than men's, but hair growth slows for both genders with pattern hair loss.
research Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals the Molecular Anatomy of Sheep Hair Follicle Heterogeneity and Wool Curvature
The research identified genes that explain why some sheep have curly wool and others have straight wool.
research Old Friend or New Ally: A Comparison of Follicular Unit Transplantation and Follicular Unit Excision Methods in Hair Transplantation
Both Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) are effective hair transplant methods; the best choice depends on the patient's needs and the surgeon's preference.
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 Tracing selection signatures in the pig genome gives evidence for selective pressures on a unique curly hair phenotype in Mangalitza
Selective breeding caused the unique curly hair in Mangalitza pigs.
research Hairline Restoration: Difference in Men and Woman—Length and Shape
