research Assessment of hair loss: clinical relevance of hair growth evaluation methods
Effective hair loss assessment requires a mix of precise measurement methods.
research Assessment of hair and cashmere properties and their genetic background of several goat breeds in Southwest China
Crossbreeding improves goat fiber quality, and specific genes affect hair traits and color.
research Is hypercortisolism in anorexia nervosa detectable using hair samples?
Hair samples can't reliably detect hypercortisolism in anorexia nervosa patients.
research The Trotter collection: A review of Mildred Trotter 's hair research and an update for studies of human variation
Hair traits vary widely and are not reliable indicators of ancestry.
research Noninvasive method for assessing the human circadian clock using hair follicle cells
Scientists found a new, less invasive way to study body clocks using hair cells, which shows shift workers' body clocks don't match their lifestyles.
