research Trichilemmoma.Cell biology of the normal human outer root sheath.
The outer root sheath in hair follicles changes during growth, with different keratinization processes in its layers.
research Microscopical characterization of known postmortem root bands using light and scanning electron microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Patterns of expression of trichocytic and epithelial cytokeratins in mammalian tissues. I. Human and bovine hair follicles
Human and bovine hair follicles have distinct cytokeratins specific to hair-forming cells.

A missing mK6irs1 gene causes hair loss in mice.
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 Hair casts or pseudonits
Hair casts can be mistaken for lice, causing unnecessary stress.
