research Features of structure of external layer of murine hair at different stages of malignant tumor development
Hair structure worsens as tumors grow in mice.
research Three-Dimensional Histological Structures of the Human Dermis
3D images of skin show collagen is evenly spread, but elastic fibers are fewer near hair follicles.
research Pili annulati with fragility: Electron microscopic findings of a case
The study found that hair fragility in Pili annulati may be caused by cavities and damage within the hair shafts.
research 1322 Molecular profiling of frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) reveals TH1 and JAK-STAT up-regulation with no suppression of hair keratins
