research Evidence for various calcium sites in human hair shaft revealed by sub-micrometer X-ray fluorescence
The research found two types of calcium in human hair, one that varies among individuals and another that is consistent across people.
research Cellular Nanofiber Structure with Secretory Activity-Promoting Characteristics for Multicellular Spheroid Formation and Hair Follicle Regeneration
Nanofiber structure helps regenerate hair follicles.
research Preparing the hair follicle canal for hair shaft emergence
A specific type of skin cell creates an opening for hair to grow out, and problems with this process can lead to skin conditions.
research Extensive Hair-Shaft Elongation by Isolated Mouse Whisker Follicles in Very Long-Term Gelfoam® Histoculture
Gelfoam® histoculture supports long-term hair and nerve growth in mouse whisker follicles.
research Naked Hair Shafts as a Marker of Cicatricial Alopecia
Naked hair shafts are significantly associated with scarring hair loss and may help diagnose it, especially when multiple are found.
research Long-lasting Antimicrobial Effect Achieved via Immobilization of Antimicrobial Agents on Hair Shaft
Treated hair can fight dandruff and odor even after several washes.
research Genetics of Structural Hair Disorders
The document concludes that over 500 genes are linked to hair disorders and this knowledge is important for creating new treatments.
research Secretory phospholipase A2-IIA overexpressing mice exhibit cyclic alopecia mediated through aberrant hair shaft differentiation and impaired wound healing response
Mice with too much sPLA₂-IIA have hair loss and poor wound healing due to abnormal hair growth and stem cell depletion.
research Hair Shaft Fracture in a Young Athlete: A Rare Case Report of Acquired Trichorrhexis Nodosa
A young athlete's fragile hair condition improved by cutting hair and using gentle shampoo.
research Independent DSG4 frameshift variants in cats with hair shaft dystrophy
Cats with abnormal hair had DSG4 gene changes causing hair problems.
research Measuring changes in chemistry, composition, and molecular structure within hair fibers by infrared and Raman spectroscopic imaging
Infrared and Raman imaging can non-destructively analyze hair structure and help diagnose hair conditions.
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 effect of night shift work on the expression of clock genes in beard hair follicle cells
Night shift work disrupts the body's natural clock genes.
research Responses of hair follicle–associated structures to loss of planar cell polarity signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research Raman spectroscopy and electronic microscopy structural studies of Caucasian and Afro human hair
Hair treatments cause significant structural changes, especially with excessive heat, regardless of ethnicity.
research Local structure of human hair spatially resolved by sub-micron X-ray beam
Human hair has a new region with ordered filaments and the cuticle contains β-keratin sheets.
research Normal and Aging Hair Biology and Structure ‘Aging and Hair'
Hair gets thinner, grayer, and changes texture with age due to genetics, environment, and cellular changes, affecting the growth cycle.
research Dose-Dependent Histopathological and Structural Impact of Chemical Hair-Straighteners on Scalp Epithelium and Hair-Fibres Using Albino Wistar Rats
Chemical hair straighteners can severely damage hair and scalp with repeated use.
research Office Diagnosis of Hair Shaft Defects
The document explains how to identify different hair problems using a microscope.
research Self‐organizing hair peg‐like structures from dissociated skin progenitor cells: New insights for human hair follicle organoid engineering and Turing patterning in an asymmetric morphogenetic field
Researchers created early-stage hair-like structures from skin cells, showing how these cells can self-organize, but more is needed for complete hair growth.
research The structure of hair and follicles of mice carrying the naked (N) gene
Mice with the naked gene have missing or abnormal hair cells.
research INTRODUCING GAP IN HAIR FOLLICLE ELECTROMAGNETISM AS MECHANISM FOR THE PRESENCE OF BIPOLAR ELECTRICAL CHARGES INHERENT IN THE HUMAN HAIR SHAFT
Human hair has bipolar electrical charges because of a gap in the hair follicle's electromagnetic field.
research pH Dependence of the Coiled-Coil Structure of Keratin Intermediate Filament in Human Hair by 13C NMR Spectroscopy and the Mechanism of Its Disruption
Keratin structure in hair is stable at pH 5-6 but disrupts between pH 6-7.
research Porosity at Different Structural Levels in Human and Yak Belly Hair and Its Effect on Hair Dyeing
Yak belly hair has higher porosity and is less stiff than human hair, making it absorb dye better but less suitable as a direct substitute for hair dyeing.
research The structural and functional aspects of hair cell regeneration in the chick as a result of exposure to intense sound
Chickens exposed to loud noise can quickly regain hearing mostly due to repair of the tectorial membrane, not just hair cell regeneration.
research Hair follicles as a target structure for nanoparticles
Nanoparticles around 600-700 nm can effectively enter and stay in hair follicles for days, which may help in delivering drugs to specific cells.
research Trichoscopy findings in loose anagen hair syndrome: rectangular granular structures and solitary yellow dots
Rectangular black granules, solitary yellow dots, and mostly single-hair follicles suggest Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome.
research A highly resistant structure between cuticle and cortex of human hair
A tough membrane between the outer and inner layers of human hair protects it from damage.
research Plucked Human Hair Shafts and Biomolecular Medical Research
Human hair follicles may provide a noninvasive way to diagnose diseases and have potential in regenerative medicine.
