research Alopecia areata
Alopecia areata involves immune response and gene changes affecting hair loss.
research Diseases on Hair Follicles Leading to Hair Loss Part I: Nonscarring Alopecias
Common types of non-scarring hair loss have various causes and treatments, but more effective solutions are needed.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research New insights into human hair: SAXS, SEM, TEM and EDX for Alopecia Areata investigations
Alopecia Areata causes significant structural and compositional changes in hair.
research Scanning Electron Microscopic Study on Collagen Fibrils in the Mink Dermis during the Hair Cycle and Growth
Collagen fibrils in mink skin change structure during hair growth, becoming looser and thicker in the active phase.
research Action of Thioglycolic Acid and L-Cysteine to Disulfide Cross-Links in Hair Fibers during Permanent Waving Treatment
Thioglycolic acid and L-cysteine change hair structure differently during perms, affecting hair strength and curling efficiency.
research Imaging of Photo-Damaged Hair with a Differential Phase Scanning X-Ray Microscopy
Sunlight and chemical treatments change hair's internal structure differently, needing specific care.
research Fourier Transform Infrared Attenuated Total Reflection Analysis of Human Hair: Comparison of Hair from Breast Cancer Patients with Hair from Healthy Subjects
Hair from breast cancer patients shows changes in structure and composition, and a test using these changes detected cancer but also falsely identified some healthy samples as cancerous.
research Thermoporometry measurements of human hair via differential scanning calorimetry
Bleaching hair increases pore size and changes pore structure.
research In vivo Alteration of the Keratin 17 Gene in Hair Follicles by Oligonucleotide-directed Gene Targeting
Injecting specific oligonucleotides can change hair growth and structure by altering a gene.
research Evolution of Trichocyte Keratins
Hair keratins evolved from ancient proteins, diversifying through gene changes, crucial for forming claws and later hair in mammals.
research Integral characterization of normal and alopecic hair at different degeneration stages by in-situ visible and chemical imaging
Alopecic hair has more irregular structures and chemical changes than normal hair, reducing its strength.
research Non‐invasive evaluation of hair interior morphology by X‐ray microscope
X-ray microscopy can non-invasively show hair structure changes after treatments, but it's less detailed than TEM and needs improvement.
research EFFECT OF POTASSIUM ON BLOOD-SUGAR AND PLASMA-INSULIN LEVELS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING PERITONEAL DIALYSIS AND HÆMODIALYSIS
Potassium levels affect blood sugar and insulin during dialysis, and malnutrition changes children's hair roots.
research Gray Hair and Hair Strengthening: A Professional Guide for Hairdressers and Colorists
Gray hair requires special coloring techniques and care to maintain quality and strength.
research Mechanisms of impairment in hair and scalp induced by hair dyeing and perming and potential interventions
Hair dyes and perms can damage hair and scalp, but using interventions can reduce harm.
research Physiological changes in the skin during pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause skin pigmentation, stretch marks, and changes in hair, nails, and sweat glands, with most resolving after birth.
research Scanning electron microscopy and morphometric analysis of the hair in dromedaries with SEM-EDX in relation to age
Dromedary camel hair structure and mineral content change with age.
research Clinical Snippets
Some cells may slow melanoma growth, a protein could affect skin pigmentation, a gene-silencing method might treat hair defects, skin bacteria changes likely result from eczema, and a defensin protein could help treat multiple sclerosis.
research A quantitative technique to analyze and evaluate microstructures of skin hair follicles based on mueller matrix polarimetry
The technique accurately identifies and evaluates hair follicle structures in skin.
research Exogenous Factors in Hair Disorders
Outside factors like grooming, chemicals, and the environment can damage hair and cause disorders.
research Exploring Mechanical Niches Identified by Hair Follicle Compression and How These Transduce Proliferation and Differentiation Cues in Epidermally Derived cells.
Less stiff collagen promotes higher cell growth in hair follicles.
research Optic Nerve Changes in Zinc-deficient Rats
Zinc is essential for healthy optic nerves, and its deficiency can damage them.

Various factors like genetics, pollution, and lifestyle choices can damage hair over time.
research A Raman spectroscopy investigation of the resilience of hair cuticular scales under uniaxial stress
Hair cuticles remain stable and resilient under stress due to strong protein content and crosslinking.
research The G-Protein Couple Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Orchestrates Hair Follicle Homeostasis
GRK2 is essential for healthy hair follicle function, and its absence can lead to hair loss and cysts.
research Damage limitation: comparing the impact of polymers on bleached hair, when applied within or as post-bleach treatments
