research Characterization of hair follicles in Hirosaki hairless rats with deletion of basic hair keratin genes : enlarged medulla, loss of cuticle and long catagen
research Inductive Properties of Hair Follicle Cells
Hair growth can be induced by certain cells found at the base of hair follicles, and these cells may also influence hair development and regeneration.
research Regulation of hair follicle development by exosomes derived from dermal papilla cells
Exosomes from dermal papilla cells can help grow hair and might treat hair loss.
research Preparing the hair follicle canal for hair shaft emergence
A specific type of skin cell creates an opening for hair to grow out, and problems with this process can lead to skin conditions.
research Epidermal Growth Factor Upregulates Production of Supernumerary Hair Cells in Neonatal Rat Organ of Corti Explants
Epidermal growth factor increases extra hair cells in newborn rat ears.
research Soluble factors from human hair papilla cells and dermal fibroblasts dramatically increase the clonal growth of outer root sheath cells
research Why Mammal Body Hair Is an Evolutionary Enigma
The evolution of mammal body hair remains a mystery.
research Splitting Hairs: Evaluating the Origin of Human Nakedness
Humans likely became hairless to better regulate body temperature.
research Hair matrix germinative epidermal cells confer follicle-inducing capabilities on dermal sheath and high passage papilla cells
Hair growth can be stimulated by combining certain skin cells, which can rejuvenate old cells and cause them to specialize in hair follicle creation.
research Expression Profiling and Cellular Localization of Genes Associated with the Hair Cycle Induced by Wax Depilation
Researchers found new genes involved in hair growth, which could help develop new hair treatments.
research Regulation of human hair growth: hormones and neuropeptides
Hormones and neuropeptides affect hair growth, with androgens having opposite effects on beard and scalp hair.
research Characterization of Hair Follicle Development in Engineered Skin Substitutes
Engineered skin substitutes can grow hair but have limitations like missing sebaceous glands and hair not breaking through the skin naturally.
research Human scalp hair as a thermoregulatory adaptation
Tightly curled scalp hair helps reduce heat from the sun, protecting against overheating.
research The Enrichment of Specific Hair Follicle-Associated Cell Populations in Plucked Hairs Offers an Opportunity to Study Gene Expression Underlying Hair Traits
Plucked hairs can be used instead of skin biopsies to study hair traits because they contain specific cells related to hair.
research Keratins of the human hair follicle: “Hyperproliferative” keratins consistently expressed in outer root sheath cells in vivo and in vitro
Outer root sheath cells consistently express certain keratins influenced by their environment.
research Decision letter: Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Hairless mammals evolved quickly in both gene and non-gene areas related to skin and hair.
