research Learning from nudity: lessons from the nude phenotype
The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
research Trichohyalin: Presence in the Granular Layer and Stratum Corneum of Normal Human Epidermis
Trichohyalin is also found in the outer layers of normal human skin.
research Effect of ethnicity and treatments on in situ tensile response and morphological changes of human hair characterized by atomic force microscopy
Different ethnicities and treatments affect human hair strength and structure.
research Effect of equilibrium pH on the structure and properties of bleach‐damaged human hair fibers
Hair's structure and properties change with pH; acidic pH maintains strength and less swelling, while alkaline pH increases water content and swelling.
research Stiffness of Human Hair Correlates with the Fractions of Cortical Cell Types
Hair stiffness is higher when it has more para-like cortical cells.
research Formation of the cornified envelope
The cornified envelope is crucial for skin's barrier function and involves key proteins and genetic factors.
research Skin transcriptome reveals the Periodic changes in genes underlying hair follicle cycling in Cashmere goats
Cashmere goats have a hair growth cycle with specific genes regulating growth, regression, and resting periods.
research Human Hair as a Testing Substrate in the Era of Precision Medicine: Potential Role of ‘Omics-Based Approaches
Human hair shows promise for non-invasive medical testing, but more research is needed to standardize its use.
research DNA Methylation as an Epigenetic Memory Keeper during Skin Development and Regeneration
DNA methylation is essential for skin and hair follicle development, and could be a target for treating skin diseases.
research Hoxc13 polyglycine repeat gain-of-function drives mammalian integument evolution by altering targeted genes and interactions
The polyG fragment in Hoxc13 protein helps evolve mammalian skin and hair by enhancing gene interactions.
research Biomechanics of chemically treated hair for continuous 1D strands

research A modular modeling approach for investigating wool critical buckling from biologically variable along-fiber microstructure
The model helps understand how wool fiber structure affects its strength and flexibility.
research Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
research 14. Wound Healing; Cutaneous Therapy; Hair
A device was made in 2008 to measure hair loss severity. Other findings include: frizzy mutation in mice isn't related to Fgfr2, C/EBPx marks preadipocytes, Cyclosporin A speeds up hair growth in mice, blocking plasmin and metalloproteinases hinders healing, hyperbaric oxygen helps ischemic wound healing, amniotic membranes heal wounds better than polyurethane foam, rhVEGF165 from a fibrin matrix improves tissue flap viability and induces VEGF-R2 expression, and bFGF enhances wound healing and reduces scarring in rabbits.
research Morphogenesis- and Hair Cycle-dependent Expression of Trichohyalin, Peptidylarginine Deiminase Type III and Deiminated Trichohyalin in Rat Dorsal Skin Hair Follicles
THH and PAD type III appear together early in hair growth, but deiminated THH appears later, suggesting another factor is involved.
research The Hair Follicle as a Dynamic Miniorgan
Hair follicles are complex, dynamic mini-organs that help us understand cell growth, death, migration, and differentiation, as well as tissue regeneration and tumor biology.
research The Cytology and Cytochemistry of the Wool Follicle
Wool follicles are complex, involving interactions between different cell types and structures.
research The naked truth: Sphynx and Devon Rex cat breed mutations in KRT71
Sphynx cats are hairless and Devon Rex cats have curly hair due to specific genetic mutations.
