research Healthy Hair: Form and Function
Hair health is influenced by genetics, aging, and environmental factors, with proper care needed to maintain it.
research Hair today, gone tomorrow: the degradation and conservation of archaeological hair fibers
Acidic sandy clay damages archaeological hair the most, while dry conditions preserve but make it brittle; silicone oil can help keep the hair flexible.
research EEMCO Guidance for the Assessment of Hair Shedding and Alopecia
The document explains hair growth and shedding, factors affecting it, and methods to evaluate hair loss, emphasizing the importance of skin biopsy for diagnosis.
research Stigmatization caused by hair loss – a systematic literature review
Hair loss can lead to significant stigma and lower quality of life, especially for women and those with certain types of alopecia.
research A hair-follicle reconstructed in vitro immunocompetent skin model for prediction of the sensitizing potential of chemicals
The new skin model can predict how chemicals might cause skin allergies.
research Characterization of Mouse Profilaggrin: Evidence for Nuclear Engulfment and Translocation of the Profilaggrin B-Domain during Epidermal Differentiation
Mouse profilaggrin helps in skin cell differentiation and may be involved in calcium signaling.
research Analysis of cosmetic residues on a single human hair by ATR FT-IR microspectroscopy
Cosmetic residues on individual hairs can be identified and differentiated using ATR FT-IR microspectroscopy.
research Planar Proton Minibeam Irradiation Elicits Spatially Confined DNA Damage in a Human Epidermis Model
Proton minibeam radiotherapy may reduce skin side effects by causing localized DNA damage.
research Three-dimensional architecture of macrofibrils in the human scalp hair cortex
Human hair has a complex, variable structure with a consistent matrix and double-twist pattern.
research Transdermal delivery of mixnoxidil with block copolymer nanoparticles
Smaller nanoparticles improve minoxidil absorption through hair follicles.
research Differences between ultrastructure and protein composition in straight hair fibres
Lustre mutant sheep have normal hair structure and proteins but differ in felting properties.
research Comparative aspects of the inner root sheath in adult and developing hairs of mammals in relation to the evolution of hairs
The inner root sheath evolved to help hair grow safely through the skin in mammals.
research Ultrastructural Localization of S100A3, a Cysteine-rich, Calcium Binding Protein, in Human Scalp Hair Shafts Revealed by Rapid-freezing Immunocytochemistry
S100A3 protein is mainly found in specific parts of human hair cells.
research Isolation and Characterization of Human Repetin, a Member of the Fused Gene Family of the Epidermal Differentiation Complex
Repetin is a protein involved in skin and hair development, binding calcium and compensating for other proteins when needed.
research Alopecia in a Novel Mouse Model RCO3 Is Caused by mK6irs1 Deficiency
A missing mK6irs1 gene causes hair loss in mice.
research How rare is isolated rheumatic tricuspid valve disease?
Isolated rheumatic tricuspid valve disease is very rare.
research Cell death by cornification
Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
research A novel preparation method for silicone oil nanoemulsions and its application for coating hair with silicone
A new method improves silicone oil coating on hair, enhancing moisture and lubrication.
research TCF/Lef1-Mediated Control of Lipid Metabolism Regulates Skin Barrier Function
TCF/Lef1 is essential for skin barrier function by regulating lipid metabolism.
research Immunolocalization of Scaffoldin, a Trichohyalin‐Like Protein, in the Epidermis of the Chicken Embryo
Scaffoldin helps form hard skin structures in chicken embryos.
research Skin Development and Disease: A Molecular Perspective
Understanding molecular processes in skin development is key to creating targeted treatments for skin disorders.
research Morphological analysis of in vitro human hair growth
Human hair follicles can grow and stay healthy for up to 8 days in a lab setting.
research Towards Defining the Pathogenesis of the Hairless Phenotype
The hairless gene mutation causes baldness by disrupting hair follicle structure.
research Transglutaminase 3: The Involvement in Epithelial Differentiation and Cancer
TGM3 is important for skin and hair structure and may help diagnose cancer.
research Nevus Lipomatosus Superficialis With Dilated Hair Follicles
