research Pseudo "fringe sign" in frontal fibrosing alopecia
Frontal fibrosing alopecia can mimic traction alopecia but has distinct features like facial papules and eyebrow thinning.
research The promoter of an androgen dependent gene in the hamster flank organ
Researchers found a gene in hamsters that responds to male hormones and may be indirectly controlled by them.
research Estrogens and Human Scalp Hair Growth—Still More Questions than Answers
The effects of estrogen on human hair growth are unclear and need more research.
research Hair cycle and dermic follicular volume of the wild rodent, agouti (Dasyprocta prymnolopha), raised in captivity, in the northeast region of Brazil
Agoutis in captivity have more resting (telogen) hairs than growing (anagen) hairs, regardless of season or gender.
research A novel finding of hair growth like vellus hairs on glabrous skin of distal phalanx of thumb in Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada disease: A case report
Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada disease can cause rare hair growth on normally hairless thumb skin.
research Decision letter: Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Hairless mammals evolved quickly in both gene and non-gene areas related to skin and hair.
research Sox13 is a novel early marker for hair follicle development
Sox13 is a useful marker for early hair follicle development but not essential for hair growth.
research Author response: Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Hairlessness in mammals is caused by combined changes in genes and regulatory regions.
