Type II spiral ganglion neurites avoid high concentrations of laminin and fibronectin.
research In brief
Pilomatricomas don't follow the usual hair follicle cell differentiation process.
research Hair Shaft Abnormalities. Pili Bifurcati: A Scanning Electron Microscopy Analysis
The study found that pili bifurcati causes hair to intermittently split into two branches, each with its own outer layer.
research Hair curvature: a natural dialectic and review
The document concludes that hair curvature can be explained by the growth patterns caused by the shape and separation of cells in the hair follicle and is affected by specific molecular pathways.
research Acquired curved hair is caused by fusion of multiple hair matrix cells
Curved hair can develop when hair cells merge abnormally during growth.
research Circle hairs involving the extremities in a young girl
Circle hairs are harmless, spiral-shaped body hairs that don't need medical treatment.
