A mutation in mice causes hair loss and skin issues due to a defect in a gene affecting cell adhesion.
research Comma hairs: A dermatoscopic marker for tinea capitis
Comma hairs are a specific sign of tinea capitis when viewed with videodermatoscopy.
research Proteomic tools for the investigation of human hair structural proteins and evidence of weakness sites on hair keratin coil segments
