210-240 / 1000+ resultsresearch Cyclic hair-loss and regrowth in transgenic mice overexpressing an intermediate filament gene.
Mice with extra sheep genes had hair that fell out and regrew in cycles.
research Hair shaft miniaturization causes stem cell depletion through mechanosensory signals mediated by a Piezo1-calcium-TNF-α axis
Hair thinning causes stem cell loss through a process involving Piezo1, calcium, and TNF-α.
research Acquired curved hair is caused by fusion of multiple hair matrix cells
Curved hair can develop when hair cells merge abnormally during growth.
research Morphologische und biochemische untersuchungen am Haar bei gestörtem Aminosäurestoffwechsel
Metabolic disorders can cause hair structure defects and growth issues, but amino acid levels in hair remain normal.
research Identification of Novel Mutations in Basic Hair Keratins hHb1 and hHb6 in Monilethrix: Implications for Protein Structure and Clinical Phenotype
New mutations in hair keratin genes can change hair structure and cause monilethrix, with nail issues more common in certain gene mutations.
research Coexistence of Woolly Hair and Monilethrix: A Cases Study
Two sisters have rare hair disorders causing short, fragile, kinky hair.
research Monilethrix
Monilethrix has no effective treatment, but avoiding hair trauma helps manage it.
research "Curly" Wood and Tiger Tails
Tiger tail bands in hair are caused by wavy hair fibers with melanin, unlike straight fibers in normal hair.

research Human hair keratin network and curvature
Curly hair shape is due to uneven growth patterns in the hair follicle.
research Acquired Hair Fragility in Pili anulati: Causal Relationship with Androgenetic Alopecia
Pili anulati may cause hair loss, proper diagnosis and treatment needed.
research Aberrant connective tissue sheath contraction drives premature hair follicle regression by inducing progenitor cell depletion in androgenetic alopecia
Abnormal contraction of connective tissue in hair follicles causes hair loss by killing off important cells, and treating this could improve hair growth.
research A novel missense mutation (C622G) in the zinc‐finger domain of the human hairless gene associated with congenital atrichia with papular lesions
A new gene mutation causes a rare type of hair loss.
research De novo filament formation by human hair keratins K85 and K35 follows a filament development pattern distinct from cytokeratin filament networks
Human hair keratins K85 and K35 create unique filament patterns important for early hair formation.
