research Two mutations at KRT74 and EDAR synergistically drive the fine-wool production in Chinese sheep
Two mutations in KRT74 and EDAR genes cause sheep to have finer wool.
research Hair follicles and their role in skin health
Hair follicles are essential for skin health, aiding in hair growth, wound healing, and immune function.
research Motoneuron-Specific PTEN Deletion in Mice Induces Neuronal Hypertrophy and Also Regeneration after Facial Nerve Injury
Deleting the PTEN gene in mice causes nerve cells to grow larger and heal better after injury, but may cause overgrowth and hair loss in older mice.
research Anatomical development of the skin in foetuses of Red Sokoto goats (Capra hircus)
Red Sokoto goat fetuses develop firmer, pigmented skin with hair follicles as they grow.
research Keratin formation in the hair follicle
Keratin fibrils in hair form and stop growing at specific points in the follicle.
research Correlation of monosynaptic field potentials evoked by single action potentials in single primary afferent axons and their bouton distributions in the dorsal horn
The study found that nerve signals are stronger when there are more connection points, but not necessarily denser, along the nerve's path in the spine.
research Pigmented Casts
Pigmented casts are common in several hair loss conditions and can help diagnose specific types of alopecia.
research Ultrastructural and immunohistochemical characteristics of telocytes in human scalp tissue
Telocytes in the scalp may help with skin regeneration and maintenance.
research Light Microscopic Hair Abnormalities in Children: Retrospective Review of 119 Cases in a 10-Year Period
Over half of the children had abnormal hair under a microscope, with many having genetic hair conditions.
research Understanding the biochemical properties of human hair keratins : self-assembly potential and cell response
Human hair keratins can self-assemble and support cell growth, useful for biomedical applications.
research A Novel Human Type II Cytokeratin, K6hf, Specifically Expressed in the Companion Layer of the Hair Follicle
K6hf is a unique protein found only in a specific layer of hair follicles.
research Lack of Evidence for Sprouting of Aβ Afferents into the Superficial Laminas of the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn after Nerve Section
Aβ afferents do not sprout into the superficial spinal cord layers after nerve injury.
research Progressive Alopecia Reveals Decreasing Stem Cell Activation Probability during Aging of Mice with Epidermal Deletion of DNA Methyltransferase 1
Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
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 Endogenous human skin equivalent promotes in vitro morphogenesis of follicle-like structures
Endo-HSE helps grow hair-like structures from human skin cells in the lab.
research A bald statement - Current approaches to manipulate miniaturisation focus only on promoting hair growth
The conclusion is that future hair loss treatments should target the root causes of hair thinning, not just promote hair growth.
research Intermediate hair follicles: a new more clinically relevant model for hair growth investigations
Intermediate hair follicles are a better model for studying hair growth and testing hair loss treatments.
research Dermal-epidermal interactions—follicle-derived cell populations in the study of hair-growth mechanisms
Dermal-epidermal interactions are crucial for hair growth and maintenance.
research A comparison of transcriptomic patterns measured in the skin of Chinese fine and coarse wool sheep breeds
Fine wool sheep have more genes for wool quality, while coarse wool sheep have more for skin and muscle traits.
research The nutritional biochemistry of wool and hair follicles
Nutrients like vitamins, copper, zinc, and amino acids are crucial for healthy hair and wool growth.
research CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Disruption of Fibroblast Growth Factor 5 in Rabbits Results in a Systemic Long Hair Phenotype by Prolonging Anagen
Disrupting the FGF5 gene in rabbits leads to longer hair by extending the hair growth phase.
research Characterization of hair lipid images by argon sputter etching-scanning electron microscopy
Hair texture changes with age due to varying levels of lipids.
research A highly resistant structure between cuticle and cortex of human hair
A tough membrane between the outer and inner layers of human hair protects it from damage.
research Structural changes of hair shaft after application of chemical hair straighteners: Clinical and histopathological study
Chemical hair straightening improves smoothness and shine but may cause side effects, suggesting a need for safer methods.
research Effects of ultraviolet B radiation on physicochemical properties of human hair shaft
UVB radiation changes the chemical makeup and dries out human hair but doesn't alter its appearance or texture.
research Application of an Enzymatic Method for Identifying Hair Treatments
The enzymatic method can effectively identify chemical treatments on hair.
research Biomechanics of chemically treated hair for continuous 1D strands
NaOH treatment improves hair strength and suitability for textiles.
research Immunohistochemistry study of pentoxifylline in the treatment of alopecia induced by cyclophosphamide in male rats
Pentoxifylline helps hair regrowth in rats with hair loss.
research Perspectives of Alopecia behind the Regulation of Foxn1 Gene Exposes the Human Nude Phenotype
The gene Foxn1 is important for hair growth, and understanding it may lead to new alopecia treatments.
