research A Human Folliculoid Microsphere Assay for Exploring Epithelial– Mesenchymal Interactions in the Human Hair Follicle
HFMs can help study hair growth and test potential hair growth drugs.
research Growth of human hair follicle keratinocytes in vitro
The model successfully grew and differentiated hair follicle cells in the lab.
research Formation of surface membranes in developing mammalian hair fibres
Mature hair surfaces are formed by keratinized cells with developed layers, not just modified plasma membranes.
research The hair in childhood and old age
Hair growth issues can be linked to genetics, diseases, or medications, and new treatments are being developed.
research APCDD1 is a novel Wnt inhibitor mutated in hereditary hypotrichosis simplex
A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.
research 613 Assessment of the induction and morphogenic potential of human hair matrix cells and dermal papilla fibroblasts ex vivo
Human hair matrix cells and dermal papilla fibroblasts can form early hair follicle structures but don't produce hair shafts yet.
research Abnormal inner root sheath of the hair follicle in the loose anagen hair syndrome: An ultrastructural study
Loose anagen hair syndrome is caused by structural abnormalities in the hair follicle's inner root sheath.
research Female patients complaining about hair loss: documentation of defective scalp hair dynamics with contrast-enhanced phototrichogram
The study concluded that a special imaging technique showed women with hair loss have slower hair growth and a faulty hair replacement cycle.
research Differential distribution of the epigenetic marker 5‐hydroxymethylcytosine occurs in hair follicle stem cells during bulge activation
The marker 5-hmC changes in hair follicle stem cells when they start to grow.
research Proliferating trichilemmal cyst with histological malignant transformation: Identification of hair sheath keratins in the tumor.
A hair cyst can become cancerous, showing specific keratins from the hair sheath.
research Distinctive age distribution and hair loss pattern putatively highlighting uniqueness of Japanese cases of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution
Japanese cases of fibrosing alopecia show a unique age and hair loss pattern, possibly due to racial differences.
research Chronic telogen effluvium and female pattern hair loss are separate and distinct forms of alopecia: a histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analysis
CTE and FPHL are different hair loss types with unique causes.
research PATHOGENESIS OF GENETIC HUMAN HAIR DISORDERS
All major hair defects involve cuticle abnormalities.
research Miscellaneous Disorders
Trichorrhexis nodosa causes hair to break easily, often affecting young to middle-aged black women.
research T-cell “induced-self” MHC class I/peptide complexes may enable “de novo” tolerance induction to neo-antigens occurring outside of the thymus
Hair follicles may help teach the immune system to tolerate new self-antigens, but this can sometimes cause hair loss.
research Hair Follicle Keratins
Hair growth can be influenced by manipulating keratin and growth factor genes.
research Neurotrichosis: Hair‐shaft Abnormalities associated with Neurological Diseases
Hair-shaft abnormalities can indicate neurological disorders, some of which are treatable.
research Autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis caused by LIPH mutations: a case report
Mutations in the LIPH gene cause woolly hair in a child.
research Human Hair Follicle Stem/Progenitor Cells Express Hypoxia Markers
Human hair follicle stem cells show signs of low oxygen levels, which may be important for hair growth and preventing baldness.
research Cell proliferation during fibre growth initiation in ferret hair follicles
Ferret hair growth starts between 0 and 4 days after melatonin treatment, with cell growth peaking in the hair germ and declining as the hair matures.
research Monilethrix in monozygotic twins with very rare mutation in KRT 86 gene
Identical twins with a rare KRT 86 gene mutation both have the hair disorder monilethrix.
research Loose anagen syndrome in one identical twin girl.
A 2-year-old girl had a hair disorder not shared by her identical twin.
research High-sulfur protein deficient human hair: clinical aspects and biochemical study of two unreported cases of a variant type of trichothiodystrophy
Two patients had a unique form of trichothiodystrophy with reduced high-sulfur proteins in their hair.
research A Homozygous Nonsense Mutation in the Zinc-Finger Domain of the Human Hairless Gene Underlies Congenital Atrichia
A specific gene mutation causes complete hair loss without other health issues.
research Supplementary Material for: Life of the B10 mouse: a view from the hair follicles and tissue stem cells
Mouse skin and hair aging starts at 200 days, with changes in hair follicles and more white hairs as signs of aging.
research Dermoscopic Approach to a Small Round to Oval Hairless Patch on the Scalp
Dermoscopic examination helps diagnose different types of hair loss conditions by showing specific patterns.
research Structural Abnormalities in the Hair of a Patient with a Novel Ribosomopathy
The patient's hair was thinner and had fewer lipids due to a genetic mutation.
research HAIR KERATINIZATION IN HEALTH AND DISEASE
Understanding intermediate filaments helps explain hair health and related diseases.
research Glypican-1, -4 and 6 Participate in the Hair Follicle Stem Cell Differentiation via Specific Interactions with BMP2R, Fz7 and Patched 1
