research Hair Breakage as a Presenting Sign of Early or Occult Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia
Hair breakage may be an early sign of a hair loss condition called CCCA in African American women.
research Morphogenesis- and Hair Cycle-dependent Expression of Trichohyalin, Peptidylarginine Deiminase Type III and Deiminated Trichohyalin in Rat Dorsal Skin Hair Follicles
THH and PAD type III appear together early in hair growth, but deiminated THH appears later, suggesting another factor is involved.
research Distribution pattern of some glycoconjugates of hair follicle regeneration in rat
Certain sugars increase in some layers of the hair follicle during the middle of the healing process in rats, which may help improve healing.
research Diagnosis of Hair Disorders
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of hair disorders is crucial and requires a range of diagnostic methods.
research Localization of Minoxidil Sulfotransferase in Rat Liver and the Outer Root Sheath of Anagen Pelage and Vibrissa Follicles

NF-κB is crucial for different stages and types of hair growth in mice.
research Induction of Hair Keratins Expression by an Annurca Apple-Based Nutraceutical Formulation in Human Follicular Cells
An apple-based supplement was found to stimulate hair protein production, which may help with hair growth.
research Single follicular unit transplantation reconstructs arrector pili muscle and nerve connections and restores functional hair follicle piloerection
Hair transplant surgery can rebuild muscle and nerve connections, allowing transplanted hairs to stand up like normal hairs.
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 Pitx2, a β-catenin-regulated transcription factor, regulates the differentiation of outer root sheath cells cultured in vitro
Pitx2 helps outer root sheath cells differentiate but can't start hair growth on its own.
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
