research Prognosis and Management of Congenital Hair Shaft Disorders without Fragility—Part II
Some congenital hair disorders improve with age and can be managed with treatments like minoxidil, retinoids, supplements, and gentle hair care, but there's no cure.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor β2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research Enhancing hair growth in male androgenetic alopecia by a combination of fractional CO2 laser therapy and hair growth factors
Laser therapy and hair growth factors significantly improve hair density in male baldness.
research Hair shaft miniaturization causes stem cell depletion through mechanosensory signals mediated by a Piezo1-calcium-TNF-α axis
Hair thinning causes stem cell loss through a process involving Piezo1, calcium, and TNF-α.
research Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma with hair shaft fragments.
A rare ear cyst contained hair fragments.
research Phototrichogram Analysis of Japanese Female Subjects with Chronic Diffuse Hair Loss
Phototrichogram and hair diameter measurements are effective, noninvasive ways to assess hair growth and detect early hair loss, with the most common pattern being reduced hair density.
research Light microscopy of the hair: A simple tool to "untangle" hair disorders
Light microscopy is useful for diagnosing different hair disorders.
research The medusa head: Dermoscopic diagnosis of woolly hair syndrome
A man with Woolly Hair Syndrome had very curly, fragile hair, and doctors used a special scalp examination to diagnose him without invasive tests.
research Diseases of the Hair and Nails
Stress, nutritional issues, and chronic diseases can cause hair loss, and nail changes may signal internal diseases; treatment focuses on the underlying cause.
research SEM/SDD-EDS—An analytical tool to identify water borne micro minerals pick up in human scalp hair cuticle due to water quality
Water quality affects mineral content in hair, and coconut oil can protect against damage.
research Environmental and Cosmetic Factors in Hair Loss and Destruction
Environmental and cosmetic factors, including heat, chemicals, and sun exposure, can cause hair loss and damage.
research Optical coherent tomography: promising in vivo measurement of hair shaft cross section
OCT is a reliable, noninvasive way to measure hair thickness.
research Acquired progressive kinking of the hair in a prepubertal boy
A 10-year-old boy had the earliest reported case of hair that became progressively kinkier but eventually returned to normal on its own.
research Woolly Hair in Two Siblings
Two siblings have a rare genetic condition causing curly, coarse hair.
research Microanatomical Observations of Hair Characteristics of Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), Golden Jackal (Canis aureus), and Gray Wolf (Canis lupus): A Comparative Study
Red fox, golden jackal, and gray wolf hairs have similar features but differ in length, thickness, and inner structure.
research The hair cycle
The document concludes that the hair cycle is a complex process involving growth, regression, and rest phases, regulated by various molecular signals.

research Proteomic analysis of hair shaft and nail plate.
Hair and nail proteins, mainly keratins, are crucial for structure and can indicate health issues.
research HAIR AND SYSTEMATIC DISEASE
Hair loss can indicate underlying systemic diseases and addressing these can sometimes reverse the hair loss.
research Induction of hair follicle dermal papilla cell properties in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived multipotent LNGFR(+)THY-1(+) mesenchymal cells
Researchers found a way to create cells from stem cells that act like human cells important for hair growth and could be used for hair regeneration treatments.
research Congenital hair loss disorders: Rare, but not too rare
Some hair loss disorders are caused by genetic mutations affecting hair growth.
research THE BIOLOGY OF HAIR CARE
Better hair care products are needed to protect against grooming and chemical damage.
research Morphological Approach to Hair Disorders
Accurate clinical, histological, and genetic methods are key for understanding and treating hair disorders.
research Use of the TrichoScan to Assess Female Pattern Hair Loss
TrichoScan helps identify subtle hair thinning in women with androgenetic alopecia.
research Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy for investigating murine telogen skin after spontaneous or depilation-induced hair growth
EPR spectroscopy showed that spontaneous hair growth results in thicker skin and less pigmented hair than depilation-induced growth.
research Hair shaft disorders in children – An update
Diagnosing and managing children's hair shaft disorders is challenging but essential.
research Keratin 71 Mutations: From Water Dogs to Woolly Hair
A mutation in the KRT71 gene causes a hair disorder by disrupting hair follicle structure and texture.
research Hair follicle morphogenesis and epidermal homeostasis in we/we wal/wal mice with postnatal alopecia
The we/we wal/wal mice have defects in hair growth and skin layer formation, causing hair loss, useful for understanding alopecia.
research Improvement in Hair Loss and Better Hair Quality with Vitamin Therapy in Monilethrix
