research Fibroblast heterogeneity: implications for human disease
Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in diseases and healing, and more research on them could improve treatments.
research Woolly Antics between the Sheaths
Lipase H is important for hair follicle function and shaping hair fibers.
research Reduction mechanism of L ‐cysteine on keratin fibers using microspectrophotometry and Raman spectroscopy
L-cysteine slows down the breaking of bonds in hair due to electrostatic interactions.
research Harnessing neuroendocrine controls of keratin expression: A new therapeutic strategy for skin diseases?
Using neurohormones to control keratin can lead to new skin disease treatments.
research DETERMINATION OF PERMEATION PATHWAY OF GENTAMICIN INTO PIG’S EAR SKIN
Gentamicin penetrates pig skin better through open hair follicles than blocked ones.
research ‘Hirsutism’: A Psychological Analysis
Women with excess body hair feel psychological distress influenced by societal beauty standards, but distress isn't directly linked to the amount of hair.
research Stem cells in embryonic skin development
The origins of many adult skin stem cells are still mostly unknown.
research Microscopical characterization of known postmortem root bands using light and scanning electron microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research A human prenatal skin cell atlas reveals immune cell regulation of skin morphogenesis
Immune cells are essential for early hair and skin development and healing.
research Scratching the surface of skin development
The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
research Inducible deletion of epidermal Dicer and Drosha reveals multiple functions for miRNAs in postnatal skin
Drosha and Dicer are essential for hair follicle health and preventing DNA damage in skin cells.
research Environment of the Anagen Follicle
The document concludes that hair follicles have a complex environment and our understanding of it is growing, but there are limitations when applying animal study findings to humans.
research Lineage potential, plasticity and environmental reprogramming of epithelial stem/progenitor cells
Environmental cues can change the fate and function of epithelial cells, with potential for cell therapy.
research Review of the effects of 17α-estradiol in humans: a less feminizing estrogen with neuroprotective potential
17α-estradiol is a safe estrogen that might protect the brain and doesn't cause feminization, needing more research for treating brain diseases.
research The human keratins: biology and pathology
Keratins are crucial for cell stability, wound healing, and cancer diagnosis.
research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Keratin 17 null mice exhibit age- and strain-dependent alopecia
Keratin 17 is crucial for early hair strength and cell survival.
research Androgen receptors are only present in mesenchyme-derived dermal papilla cells of red deer (Cervus elaphus) neck follicles when raised androgens induce a mane in the breeding season
Red deer only have androgen receptors in neck hair cells for mane growth during breeding season.
research Hyperadrenocorticism in Ferrets
Hyperadrenocorticism in ferrets is linked to neutering and indoor housing, and is best treated with surgery and a deslorelin implant.
research Highly Conserved Keratin-Associated Protein 7-1 Gene in Yak, Taurine and Zebu Cattle
The KRTAP7-1 gene is very similar across different cattle and yak breeds and likely plays a role in hair strength and shape.
research Fermented grapeseed oil repairs chemically damaged hair via enhanced permeability mechanisms
Fermented grapeseed oil effectively repairs and protects chemically damaged hair.
research The biology and genetics of curly hair
Curly hair is influenced by specific genetic variations.
research Discrimination between basal cell carcinoma and hair follicles in skin tissue sections by Raman micro-spectroscopy
Raman micro-spectroscopy can help distinguish basal cell carcinoma from hair follicles in skin tissue.
research A Review of Keratin-Based Biomaterials for Biomedical Applications
Keratin from hair and wool is used in medical materials for healing and drug delivery.
research Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Both gene and non-gene areas of DNA evolved to make some mammals hairless.
research Expression and Function of Group IIE Phospholipase A2 in Mouse Skin
sPLA2-IIE is crucial for normal hair follicle structure and skin health.

TGM3 is important for skin and hair structure and may help diagnose cancer.
research Hair cortisol analysis: An update on methodological considerations and clinical applications
Hair cortisol analysis can help diagnose stress-related conditions but needs more refinement for widespread use.
research The itchy scalp - scratching for an explanation
Scalp itching is common and hard to diagnose due to the complex nerve structure of the scalp.
