90-120 / 1000+ results research The microanatomy of the distal arrector pili: possible role for α1β1 and α5β1 integrins in mediating cell‐cell adhesion and anchorage to the extracellular matrix
The arrector pili muscle attaches to the extracellular matrix using α5β1 integrin and connects muscle cells using α1β1 integrin.
research Three-dimensional ultrastructural analysis of human skin with the arrector pili muscle interacting with the hair follicle epithelium
The method effectively analyzes skin tissue changes, especially in the arrector pili muscle and nerve fibers with hair follicles.
research The Arrector Pili Muscle and the Follicular Unit of the Scalp: A Microscopic Anatomy Study
The study found that hair follicles are above muscle connections in the scalp, which may help protect stem cell areas.
research The arrector pili muscle, the bridge between the follicular stem cell niche and the interfollicular epidermis
The study suggests that the arrector pili muscle is important for hair health and its damage might contribute to hair loss.
research Curly Hair Follicle is Sculpted by a Contracted Arrector Pili Muscle. A Hypothesis with Treatment Implications
Relaxing the Arrector Pili Muscle might make curly hair straighter.
research Curly Hair Follicle is Sculpted by a Contracted Arrector Pili Muscle. A Hypothesis with Treatment Implications
Relaxing certain muscles might straighten curly hair.
research Beyond goosebumps: Does the arrector pili muscle have a role in hair loss?
The arrector pili muscle might play a role in hair loss and needs more research to understand its impact.
research Androgenetic alopecia: new insights into the pathogenesis and mechanism of hair loss (version 1; referees: 4 approved)
The arrector pili muscle plays a key role in hair loss in androgenetic alopecia.
research Curly Hair Follicle is Sculpted by a Contracted Arrector Pili Muscle. A Hypothesis with Treatment Implications
Curly hair may be caused by a muscle contraction, and muscle relaxants might help treat it.
research Pathogenesis of pili annulati
Pili annulati is caused by a protein metabolism disorder affecting hair structure.
research Epidermal Cells Expressing Putative Cell Markers in Nonglabrous Skin Existing in Direct Proximity with the Distal End of the Arrector Pili Muscle
Certain skin cells near the base of hair muscles may help renew and stabilize skin, possibly affecting skin disorder understanding.
research 1334 Beyond goosebumps: Interactions between the hair follicle, the arrector pili muscle, and the sympathetic nerve during development and hair follicle regeneration
Arrector pili muscle regulates hair follicle stem cells, DNA methylation needed for hair cycling, and Wnt/B-catenin signaling starts hair growth.
research A case of congenital pili multigemini
A rare, harmless hair condition was found in an infant's eyebrow, needing no treatment.
research Hair Shaft Abnormalities. Pili Bifurcati: A Scanning Electron Microscopy Analysis
The study found that pili bifurcati causes hair to intermittently split into two branches, each with its own outer layer.
research Dermoscopic Features of Pili Annulati: Features of PA
Pili annulati causes zebra-striped hair but doesn't affect hair strength or quality of life.
research Pili Torti: A Feature of Numerous Congenital and Acquired Conditions
Pili torti is a rare condition where hair is twisted and breaks easily, often linked to genetic disorders or other health issues.
research Single follicular unit transplantation reconstructs arrector pili muscle and nerve connections and restores functional hair follicle piloerection
Hair transplant surgery can rebuild muscle and nerve connections, allowing transplanted hairs to stand up like normal hairs.
research Destruction of the arrector pili muscle and fat infiltration in androgenic alopecia
Hair loss in male pattern baldness involves muscle degeneration and increased scalp fat.
research Pili Trianguli et Canaliculi Is a Defect of Inner Root Sheath Keratinization
The hair defect is due to abnormal inner root sheath keratinization.
research Ultraviolet-Enhanced Trichoscopy—A New Tool to Assess Pili Annulati
UV-enhanced trichoscopy helps diagnose hair shaft disorders like pili annulati.
research Pathogenesis in pili torti: morphological study
Pili torti hair twists due to uneven outer root sheath cell development.
research Morphological analyses in fragility of pili torti with Björnstad syndrome
Pili torti hair is fragile due to loose keratin filaments and weak disulfide bonds.
research Pili Annulati
The patient's hair has unique structural differences with alternating bright and dark bands.
research The Basement Membrane of Hair Follicle Stem Cells Is a Muscle Cell Niche
Nephronectin helps attach muscle cells to hair follicles.
research Pili Annulati with Multiple Fragile Hairs
Frequent hairdryer use may worsen hair fragility in people with Pili Annulati.
research Acquired Hair Fragility in Pili anulati: Causal Relationship with Androgenetic Alopecia
Pili anulati may cause hair loss, proper diagnosis and treatment needed.
research Update on detection, morphology and fragility in pili annulati in three kindreds
Careful light microscopy is crucial for detecting mild cases of pili annulati, which weakens hair and varies widely in expression.
research Isolated patchy heterochromia with pili annulati features on light and electron microscopy
Isolated patchy heterochromia with pili annulati can occur without other health issues.
research Banded Scalp Hair with an Unusual Glistening Appearance in a Teenager: A Quiz
