Msx2 and Foxn1 are both crucial for hair growth and health.

Type II keratin genes are crucial for hair follicle differentiation and have a conserved structure and expression pattern.

Arginine converts to citrulline in hair follicles as proteins harden.

Infrared and Raman imaging can non-destructively analyze hair structure and help diagnose hair conditions.

The research found two types of calcium in human hair, one that varies among individuals and another that is consistent across people.

Hair has unevenly distributed proteins and lipids, with lipids mainly in the cuticle and proteins in the cortex and medulla.

Two specific genes are more active during hair growth in mice.

Guinea-pig hair and follicle proteins are mostly similar, but follicles have more group 2 proteins and fewer group 3 and 4 proteins.

Hair is mostly made of three protein types: helical, high-sulfur, and high-tyrosine.

Hair follicle cells become four types: medulla, cortex, cuticle, and inner root sheath.

Human hair has more unsaturated fats inside than on the surface, and certain lipids may help bind the outer and inner layers together.

OCT can identify hair structures, but chemical treatments can damage them.

Bubble hair deformity may be caused by hair shaft trauma and can improve with gentle hair care.

Hair lipids do not protect against humidity.

Some mutant mice have hair with abnormal cross-linking, mainly in the cuticle, not affecting other hair parts.

Alopecic hair has more irregular structures and chemical changes than normal hair, reducing its strength.

White hair has less lipid content and absorbs water differently than brown hair.

Hair proteins change location and structure as hair cells mature.

Stretching damages Caucasian hair's structure more easily than Asian hair.

Different S100 proteins have specific roles in various parts of the hair follicle.

The evolution of mammal body hair remains a mystery.

Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.

Lipids are crucial for healthy hair, protecting it from damage and breakage.

Pubic hair is thicker than axillary and scalp hair, useful for forensic identification.

Calcium soaps are present in human hair and can be removed with acid.

Hair follicles and sweat glands show different keratin staining patterns.

A more sensitive assay was developed to detect enzyme activity converting arginine to citrulline in hair follicles.

As sheep age, their hair fibers and follicles grow larger and more organized, with no significant differences between males and females.

X-ray microscopy can non-invasively show hair structure changes after treatments, but it's less detailed than TEM and needs improvement.

Older thin hair is not just thinner but also has different shape, structure, and stiffness.
