research Normal Hair Growth in Children
Children's hair grows in different types from before birth through puberty, with growth rates and characteristics varying by age, sex, and race.
research Hereditary, Congenital, and Acquired Alopecias
Different types of hair loss in dogs and cats have various causes and treatments, with outcomes ranging from good to uncertain.
research WNT Signaling in the Control of Hair Growth and Structure
The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.
research The proteomic profile of hair damage
Bleaching hair damages protein structure, especially keratin, leading to weakened hair.
research Woolly hair nevus
A 17-year-old developed woolly hair nevus in adolescence, which is unusual, and over time the hair darkened and straightened slightly, but microscopic changes persisted.
research A distinct gene close to the hairless locus on chromosome 8p underlies hereditary Marie Unna type hypotrichosis in a German family
A different gene near the hairless gene on chromosome 8p21 causes a rare hair loss condition in a German family.
research Hereditary, Congenital, and Acquired Alopecias
The conclusion is that different types of hair loss in dogs and cats can be cosmetic or serious, and affected animals should not be bred.
research Two females with hair loss
A mother and daughter have a rare genetic hair loss disorder with no effective treatment.

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 Novel splice site mutation in the LIPH gene in a patient with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis: Case report and published work review
A new mutation in the LIPH gene was found to cause a rare hair disorder in a Japanese boy.
research Diseases of the Hair and Nails

research Congenital hair loss disorders: Rare, but not too rare
Some hair loss disorders are caused by genetic mutations affecting hair growth.
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 Morphological Approach to Hair Disorders
Accurate clinical, histological, and genetic methods are key for understanding and treating hair disorders.
research Sphingolipids of the Murine Hair
Murine hair has specific types of ceramides and glucosylceramides but lacks acylceramides.
research Loose anagen hair syndrome in children of Upper Egypt
Loose Anagen Hair syndrome occurs in dark-skinned children and often improves on its own.
research Hairless-knockout piglets generated using the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/CRISPR-associated-9 exhibit abnormalities in the skin and thymus
