Peroxide-rich plasma-activated water is gentler on hair than nitrate-rich formulations.
research The Future of Alopecia Treatment: Plant Extracts, Nanocarriers, and 3D Bioprinting in Focus
New treatments like plant extracts, nanocarriers, and 3D bioprinting show promise for hair loss, but more research is needed.
research Evaluation of hair surface structure and morphology of patients with lichen planopilaris (LPP) by atomic force microscopy (AFM)
AFM can help diagnose lichen planopilaris by identifying specific hair structure changes.
research The Trotter collection: A review of Mildred Trotter 's hair research and an update for studies of human variation
Hair traits vary widely and are not reliable indicators of ancestry.
research Keratin Expression Provides Novel Insight into the Morphogenesis and Function of the Companion Layer in Hair Follicles
Keratin patterns in hair follicles help understand hair growth and potential hair and nail disorders.
research Comparative Anatomy of Mouse and Human Nail Units
Mouse nails are similar to human nails, making them useful for studying nail diseases.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research (2015)
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research Type II Epithelial Keratin 6hf (K6hf) Is Expressed in the Companion Layer, Matrix, and Medulla in Anagen-Stage Hair Follicles
K6hf is found in specific parts of hair follicles, nails, and tongue, and is linked to hair growth and structure.
research Special Stains and Immunohistochemical Stains in Hair Pathology
Special and immunohistochemical stains are not routinely needed for diagnosing hair disorders.
research Azimuthal Scattering from Elliptical Hair Fibers
Light scatters differently from elliptical hair fibers than from circular ones, and a new model better predicts this behavior, especially for shiny highlights.
research Review of the current understanding of the effect of ultraviolet and visible radiation on hair structure and options for photoprotection
UV radiation and visible light can damage hair, but there are ways to protect it.
research Analyzing the laser‐light reflection from human hair fibers. II. Deriving a measure of hair luster
The conclusion is that a new method to measure hair shine was confirmed to match people's visual assessments.
research Studies of light scattering from ethnic hair fibers
Different hair types from various ethnic groups affect hair shine due to characteristics like thickness and shape.
research Selected topics in pediatric hair loss
The document concludes that early diagnosis and treatment are key for pediatric hair loss disorders, and addressing the emotional effects on children is important.
research A modular modeling approach for investigating wool critical buckling from biologically variable along-fiber microstructure
The model helps understand how wool fiber structure affects its strength and flexibility.
research Hair Loss in Children
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of hair loss in children is crucial due to limited treatment options and the condition's psychological impact.
research Normal and Aging Hair Biology and Structure ‘Aging and Hair'
Hair gets thinner, grayer, and changes texture with age due to genetics, environment, and cellular changes, affecting the growth cycle.
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 Hair and nail disorders of childhood
The document concludes that various childhood hair and nail disorders exist, some may improve on their own, and advances in genetics and immunology could enhance treatment and counseling.
