840-870 / 1000+ resultsresearch Role of bulge cells in wound healing: possible implications for hidradenitis suppurativa
Hair follicle bulge cells are important for hair survival and help heal the skin after injury, which might be relevant for understanding hidradenitis suppurativa.
research ANTI‐HAIR KERATIN MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY (HKN‐2)
HKN-2 antibody targets specific skin and hair cells, showing keratin complexity.
research Manipulation of stem cell proliferation and lineage commitment:visualisation of label-retaining cells in wholemounts of mouse epidermis
Stem cell behavior varies with stimuli, and lineage changes can happen without affecting stem cell division.
research Mucin‐poor follicular mycosis fungoides
The patient's symptoms improved with treatment but recurred when the steroid dose was reduced, requiring ongoing therapy.
research A cell polarity protein, aPKCλ, is essential for maintaining hair follicle stem cell quiescence and hair follicle regeneration
The protein aPKCλ is crucial for keeping hair follicle stem cells inactive and for hair growth and regeneration.
research Coexisting trichorrhexis nodosa and pili annulati: a case report of hair shaft abnormalities in a syrian family
A 23-year-old Syrian woman has two rare hair disorders, and avoiding hair treatments plus using vitamins and minoxidil may help.
research Characterization of the epidermal-dermal junction in hiPSC-derived skin organoids
The study created hair-bearing skin models that lack a key protein for skin layer attachment, limiting their use for certain skin disease research.
research Hirsutism
Excessive hair growth in women, often from high androgen levels, is usually caused by PCOS, and can be treated with hair removal, medication, and possibly weight loss.
research New Criteria for the Clinical Diagnosis of Hyperandrogenism in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and the Risk of Overdiagnosis
Using only hyperandrogenism to diagnose PCOS can lead to overdiagnosis.
research Sequence and structure based assessment of non-synonymous SNPs in hypertrichosis universalis
Two specific SNPs in the TRPS1 gene cause excessive hair growth by altering the protein's structure.
research Relative Amounts of Keratin 17 Are Higher Than Those of Keratin 16 in Hair-Follicle-Derived Tumors in Comparison with Nonfollicular Epithelial Skin Tumors
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 Pathobiology of the hairless phenotype: Dysregulation of hair follicle apoptosis and topobiology during the initiation of follicle cycling
Improper regulation of hair follicle processes causes hairlessness.
research Teacher CPD: towards a broader perspective
Onychomatricoma is a unique nail tumor, not related to other hair-related tumors.
research Diffuse partial woolly hair in a patient with epidermolysis bullosa simplex with mottled pigmentation
A patient with a rare hair condition and skin disorder showed hair improvement after treatment.
research Keratinocyte-Specific Onset of Serine Protease BSSP Expression in Experimental Carcinogenesis
BSSP may help skin tumors grow and could be a marker or target for skin cancer treatment.
research Hyperandrogenismus, adrenale Dysfunktion und Hirsutismus
Excessive male hormones in women cause symptoms like unwanted hair growth, and treatment requires careful medical evaluation.
research Generation of human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived adherent 3-dimensional skin hair-follicle organoids
A new method was developed to efficiently grow skin hair follicles from stem cells, potentially aiding alopecia treatment.
research Expression of E6 and E7 papillomavirus oncogenes in the outer root sheath of hair follicles extends the growth phase and bypasses resting at telogen.
E6/E7 oncogenes in hair follicles cause continuous hair growth by skipping the resting phase.
research Beyond Appearances: Foreign Body Reaction of Hair Follicles as a Complication of Inflammatory Tinea Capitis (Kerion Celsi) Resolved
Removing keratin plugs and ingrown hairs improved scalp inflammation.

Hedgehog signaling is crucial for hair development, cadherins affect cell adhesion, neutrophils play a role in skin lesions, and BP230 autoantibodies impact skin stability.
research 840 Early and late matrix progenitors form the terminally differentiated cell layers of the hair follicle
Early and late matrix progenitors in hair follicles create different cell layers, with early ones forming the companion layer and later ones forming the inner root sheath and hair shaft.
research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.
research A generalized reticulate eruption with scarring alopecia, vulvovaginitis, keratoderma, and 20-nail dystrophy in a 70-year-old woman
