research Age, lifestyle and self‐perceptions of hair: Is there an association with hair diameter and tensile properties?
Older age and certain lifestyles are linked to thinner, weaker hair, while how you see your hair relates to its thickness.
research Skin fragility in the wild-derived, inbred mouse strain Mus pahari/EiJ
Mus pahari mice have fragile skin due to abnormal collagen and elastin.
research Chronological ageing of human hair keratin fibres
Hair ages as the cuticle wears down, especially beyond 1 meter from the root, affecting its strength and shine.
research Lipid loses and barrier function modifications of the brown‐to‐white hair transition
White hair has less lipid content and absorbs water differently than brown hair.
research Effects of Nanofat in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: A Systematic Review.
Nanofat grafting improves scars, rejuvenates skin, and may help hair growth safely, but more research is needed.
research Hard X-ray Microscopic Images of the Human Hair
High-resolution x-ray images showed three main structures in human hair: medulla, cortex, and cuticle.
research Three‐dimensional adipofascial and dermal structures involved in forehead crease formation
Forehead creases are formed by a tight connection between the skin and muscle through dense fibers, with changes in skin thickness and fewer skin appendages near the creases.
research Diffuse neurofibroma of the scalp with alopecia areata as the initial presentation: a case report
A man with hair loss and a scalp lump was diagnosed with a diffuse neurofibroma but chose not to have surgery.
research Anagen hair follicles transplanted into mature human scars remodel fibrotic tissue
Transplanting growing hair follicles into scars can help regenerate and improve scar tissue.
research Recognition of the ultrastructure of the hair follicle of Cashmere goats under the transmission electron microscope
Recognizing ultrastructures of cashmere goat hair follicles helps identify and locate follicle layers.
research The Cross-section Trichometer
The Cross-section Trichometer is a promising tool for measuring hair characteristics without cutting the hair and may have various clinical uses.
research Proteomic Analysis of Crimped and Straight Wool in Chinese Tan Sheep
Crimped wool has proteins linked to crimp formation, while straight wool has proteins linked to fiber fineness, which can improve wool quality and value.
research Cultivation of Hair Matrix Cells from Cashmere Goat Skins and Exemplified Applications
Researchers found a way to grow cashmere goat hair cells in a lab and discovered that certain conditions improve these cells' growth and characteristics.
research Polymorphism of keratin-associated protein (KAP) 7 gene and its association with wool traits in Rambouillet sheep
The KAP 7 gene affects wool traits in Rambouillet sheep, with the BB genotype showing the best wool characteristics.
research Keratin Gene Expression Differences in Wool Follicles and Sequence Diversity of High Glycine-Tyrosine Keratin-Associated Proteins (Kaps) in Magra Sheep of India
Magra sheep's wool luster is linked to specific keratin gene expression and protein variations.
research Identification of the key proteins associated with different hair types in sheep and goats
Different proteins are linked to the varying thickness of sheep and goat hair types.
research Characterisation of Three Ovine KRTAP13 Family Genes and Their Association with Wool Traits in Chinese Tan Sheep
An allele of the KRTAP13-2 gene may improve wool quality in sheep.
research Induction of follicle formation and hair growth by vibrissa dermal papillae implanted into rat ear wounds: vibrissa-type fibres are specified
Implanted dermal papillae can induce hair growth in rat ear wounds.
research Wool Keratin-Associated Protein Genes in Sheep—A Review
Understanding wool keratin-associated proteins in sheep can help improve wool quality through selective breeding.
research Hair structure anatomy and comparative anatomy1 1Dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. R. E. Rivett whose untimely death prevented his role in co-authorship.
Human hair is complex and grows in cycles starting from embryonic life.
research Cellulose-Based Nanofibers in Wound Dressing
Cellulose nanofibers are promising for wound dressings due to their healing and drug delivery benefits.
research Effects of KRTAP20-1 Gene Variation on Wool Traits in Chinese Tan Sheep
Variant G of the KRTAP20-1 gene improves wool curliness in Chinese Tan sheep.
research The unit area trichogram in the assessment of androgen-dependent alopecia
The unit area trichogram is a reliable method to assess hair loss and treatment response in people with androgenic alopecia by measuring hair density and thickness.
research Torsional behavior of human hair
Water makes hair more flexible, especially the outer layer.
research Characterisation of the Ovine KRTAP36-1 Gene in Chinese Tan Lambs and Its Impact on Selected Wool Traits
The KRTAP36-1 gene affects wool quality in Chinese Tan lambs.
research Hair and Scalp Disorders
Alopecia areata causes patchy hair loss, and certain hair features can suggest its presence.
