60-90 / 1000+ resultsresearch Histomorphological studies on the skin of camel (Camelus dromedarius) [in Bangladesh]
Camel skin has typical mammalian layers, with hair follicles, glands, and muscles, varying by body area.
research The hairless gene mutated in congenital hair loss disorders encodes a novel nuclear receptor corepressor
The mutated hairless gene causes hair loss by acting as a new type of corepressor affecting thyroid hormone receptors.
research Human Hairless Protein Roles in Skin/Hair and Emerging Connections to Brain and Other Cancers
The hairless protein is important for skin, hair, and may influence cancer development.
research X-rays studies of the structure of hair, wool, and related fibres. II. - The molecular structure and elastic properties of hair keratin
Stretched hair has a similar structure to natural silk, showing hair's elasticity involves reversible changes within its molecules.
research Transcriptional Profiling in Rat Hair Follicles following Simulated Blast Insult: A New Diagnostic Tool for Traumatic Brain Injury
Hair follicles can help diagnose traumatic brain injury quickly and non-invasively.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia: A review of disease pathogenesis
The cause of Frontal fibrosing alopecia, a type of hair loss, is complex, likely involving immune responses and genetics, but is not fully understood.
research Structural interspecies variability of mammals' hairs
Mammal hairs have different internal structures.
research Rapunzel! Rapunzel! How Strong Is Your Hair?
Hair can't be as strong as Rapunzel's because it's impractical to scale up due to defects.
research Biomechanics of hair fibre growth: A multi-scale modeling approach
The model shows that factors like follicle shape and stiffness are key for hair growth and anchoring.
research Distribution of caspase‐14 in epidermis and hair follicles is evolutionarily conserved among mammals
Caspase-14 is important for skin and hair development in all mammals.
research Effects of dihydrotestosterone on rat dermal papilla cells in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) doesn't affect rat skin cell growth, but it does change cell cycle, protein levels, and other cell functions, potentially shortening hair growth cycle.
research Formation and Structure: An Introduction to Hair
Hair is important for social and sexual communication in humans.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
research Natural Bizbenzoquinoline Derivatives Protect Zebrafish Lateral Line Sensory Hair Cells from Aminoglycoside Toxicity
Some natural compounds can protect fish ear cells from damage by certain antibiotics without affecting the antibiotics' ability to fight infections.
research Immune cell regulation of the hair cycle
Immune cells affect hair growth and could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Molecular evolution of HR, a gene that regulates the postnatal cycle of the hair follicle
Changes in the HR gene have influenced hair growth and may lead to hair loss conditions in humans.
research Characteristic microstructure of curved human hair
Curved human hair has different structures on its convex and concave sides.
research Activation of Cytoprotective Prostaglandin Synthase-1 by Minoxidil as a Possible Explanation for Its Hair Growth-Stimulating Effect
Minoxidil boosts hair growth by activating PGHS-1.
research Hair structure anatomy and comparative anatomy1 1Dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. R. E. Rivett whose untimely death prevented his role in co-authorship.
Human hair is complex and grows in cycles starting from embryonic life.
research Towards the validation of endogenous steroid testing in wildlife hair
Hair analysis for stress and reproductive hormones in wildlife needs more research for accuracy across species.
research Through the lens of hair follicle neogenesis, a new focus on mechanisms of skin regeneration after wounding
Hair can regrow in large wounds through a process similar to how hair forms in embryos, and understanding this could lead to new treatments for hair loss or scarring.
research Multifunctional Merkel cells: Their roles in electromagnetic reception, finger-print formation, Reiki, epigenetic inheritance and hair form
Merkel cells may have roles in sensing magnetic fields, creating fingerprints, Reiki energy healing, passing on environmental information to offspring, and influencing hair shape.
research Purification and Calcium Dependence of Transglutaminases from Sheep Hair Follicles
Sheep hair follicle transglutaminases are calcium-dependent.
research [Contribution to hair medulla study (author's transl)].
Hair medullary cells in mammals vary in complexity, with humans having more structured cells similar to inner root sheath cells.
research 362 Not just a cell marker: DPP4 modulates regeneration of hair follicles in large wounds
DPP4, a molecule in skin, helps heal large wounds and regrow hair follicles when its levels are reduced.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of A counter gradient of Activin A and follistatin instructs the timing of hair cell differentiation in the murine cochlea.
Activin A speeds up ear hair cell differentiation, while Follistatin slows it down.
research WNT Signaling in the Control of Hair Growth and Structure
The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.
research Identification of reptilian genes encoding hair keratin-like proteins suggests a new scenario for the evolutionary origin of hair
Reptiles have genes similar to hair proteins, suggesting hair's genetic origins predate mammals.
