research Exogenous Factors in Hair Disorders
Outside factors like grooming, chemicals, and the environment can damage hair and cause disorders.
research Effect of equilibrium pH on the structure and properties of bleach‐damaged human hair fibers
Hair's structure and properties change with pH; acidic pH maintains strength and less swelling, while alkaline pH increases water content and swelling.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Localization of Cathepsins B, D, L, LAMP-1 and .MU.-Calpain in Developing Hair Follicles.
Lysosomal proteases and cytoplasmic enzymes help hair follicle cells develop and differentiate.
research Histology of the Human Hair Follicle
Understanding hair follicle structure is key for treating hair disorders and could help develop new treatments.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research Alterations in Hair Follicle Morphology and Hair Shaft Production After Follicular Unit Transplantation
Hair transplants can make hair follicles larger and hair shafts thicker.
research Premature greying of hair among the population of King Faisal University in Al-Ahasa, Saudi Arabia: an epidemiological study
Premature greying of hair is common among young people at King Faisal University, especially females, and is linked to health issues, lifestyle, and family history.
research Analysis of the expression pattern of the carrier protein transthyretin and its receptor megalin in the human scalp skin and hair follicles: hair cycle-associated changes
The proteins transthyretin and megalin are more present in the growth phase of hair, suggesting they might affect hair health and growth.
research Hair-cycle dependent differential expression of ADAM 10 and ADAM 12
ADAM 10 and ADAM 12 proteins are involved in different stages of hair growth and could be targets for treating hair disorders.
research Advances in Hair Diseases
The review highlights the importance of stem cells in hair health and suggests new treatment strategies for hair loss conditions.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research Involucrin, but not filaggrin and Kdap mRNA, expression is downregulated in 3-D cultures of intact rat hair bulbs after calcium stimulation
Calcium reduces involucrin in rat hair bulbs but doesn't affect filaggrin and Kdap.
research A mutation in the type II hair keratin KRT86 gene in a Han family with monilethrix
A new mutation in the KRT86 gene was found to cause the hair disorder monilethrix in a Han family.
research Discovery of a sol–gel reinforcing the strength of hair structure: mechanisms of action and macroscopic effects on the hair
A small molecule can strengthen fine hair, making it more resistant and natural-feeling.
research Current Genetics in Hair Diseases
Genetic mutations cause various hair diseases, and whole genome sequencing may reveal more about these conditions.
research Sphingolipids of the Murine Hair
Murine hair has specific types of ceramides and glucosylceramides but lacks acylceramides.
research Development and Physicochemical Evaluation of a Polyherbal Dual-Action Shampoo for Hair Coloring and Conditioning
The shampoo naturally colors and conditions hair safely without toxic chemicals.
research The effect of blue light on the scalp and hair follicles
Blue light can damage hair and scalp, leading to hair loss.
research Case report: Exploring autosomal recessive woolly hair: genetic and scanning electron microscopic perspectives on a Japanese patient
A genetic mutation in the LIPH gene causes tightly curled hair that stops growing in some Japanese individuals.
research Antioxidant, Black Hair, and Hair Growth Effect of Mixed Extracts of Nardostachys jatamansi, Ocimum basilicum and Crocus sativus
NOC-4 extract promotes black hair and hair growth effectively.
research Categorization of long-lasting hair changes in patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplants
Patients often experience long-lasting changes to their hair after stem cell transplants.
research Hair Changes Caused by Aging
Aging causes hair to gray and thin, with the timing of graying varying by race, and factors like oxidative stress and genetics can lead to hair loss.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 2111In fond memory of Dr Peter Steinert.
A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.
