research Congenital hair loss disorders: Rare, but not too rare
Some hair loss disorders are caused by genetic mutations affecting hair growth.
research Proteomic tools for the investigation of human hair structural proteins and evidence of weakness sites on hair keratin coil segments
Hair proteins have weak spots in their α-helical segments.
research The hair cycle and its regulation
Hormones, nutrition, and seasonal changes regulate hair growth cycles, with androgens extending growth phases and factors like aging and malnutrition affecting hair loss and thinning.
research Hair extensions: a concerning cause of hair disorders
Hair extensions can cause hair loss and scalp damage, and these problems might be more common than people realize.
research Hair Biology
The document explains hair biology, the causes of hair loss, and reviews various hair loss treatments.
research Smad4-dependent desmoglein-4 expression contributes to hair follicle integrity
Smad4 is important for healthy hair follicles because it helps produce a protein needed for hair to stick together and grow.
research Exogenous and endogenous lipids of human hair
Removing external lipids from hair reduces moisture and increases strength, while removing internal lipids decreases water permeability.
research The disrupted balance between hair follicles and sebaceous glands inHoxc13‐ablated rabbits
Rabbits lacking the Hoxc13 gene show similar hair and skin issues to humans with ECTD-9, making them good for research on this condition.
research The inconsistent regulation of HOXC13 on different keratins and the regulation mechanism on HOXC13 in cashmere goat (Capra hircus)
The HOXC13 gene affects different hair proteins in cashmere goats in varied ways and is controlled by a feedback loop and other factors.
research Genetics of Structural Hair Disorders
The document concludes that over 500 genes are linked to hair disorders and this knowledge is important for creating new treatments.
research Molecular modeling and structural characterization of a high glycine–tyrosine hair keratin associated protein
The 3D structure of a key hair protein was modeled, revealing specific helical structures and stabilization features.
research In Vitro Methodologies to Evaluate the Effects of Hair Care Products on Hair Fiber
Different tests are used to see how hair care products affect hair, and choosing the right test is important for accurate results.
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 Alopecia-associated pseudocyst of the scalp
A rare scalp condition causing hair loss and cysts in young men can be treated effectively with a specific steroid injection.
research Diseases on Hair Follicles Leading to Hair Loss Part I: Nonscarring Alopecias
Common types of non-scarring hair loss have various causes and treatments, but more effective solutions are needed.
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 Keratin 71 Mutations: From Water Dogs to Woolly Hair
A mutation in the KRT71 gene causes a hair disorder by disrupting hair follicle structure and texture.
research Can plant‐derived phytochemicals provide symptom relief for hair loss? A critical review
Some plant-based chemicals may help with hair growth, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Molecular evolution of HR, a gene that regulates the postnatal cycle of the hair follicle
Changes in the HR gene have influenced hair growth and may lead to hair loss conditions in humans.
research Analysis of Lipids in the Medulla of Japanese Hair and Their Function
Lipids in Japanese hair help maintain glossiness and structure.
research Determination of Secondary Follicle Characteristics, Density, Activity, and Hoxc13 Expression Pattern of Hexi Cashmere Goats Breed
Hexi cashmere goats' hair growth varies by stage, with Hoxc13 linked to hair activity.
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 High-throughput phenotyping methods for quantifying hair fiber morphology
Hair fiber shape and curvature are not significantly linked when ancestry is considered.
research Diseases of the Hair and Nails
Stress, nutritional issues, and chronic diseases can cause hair loss, and nail changes may signal internal diseases; treatment focuses on the underlying cause.
research Expression of lipid-protein gene PLP2 in Liaoning cashmere goat
The PLP2 gene affects cashmere fiber quality in goats and is linked to hair growth and loss.
research Nonscarring hair loss disorders
Most types of hair loss can regrow naturally, but there are no effective cures for male pattern or age-related hair loss, and only limited options for females.
