420-450 / 1000+ resultsresearch Immunohistochemical demonstration of keratins in the epidermal layers of the Malayan pangolin (Manis javanica), with remarks on the evolution of the integumental scale armour
Keratins in Malayan pangolins vary by region, suggesting scales evolved from the tail towards the head.
research Responses of hair follicle–associated structures to loss of planar cell polarity signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research Characterization of Hair Follicle Bulge in Human Fetal Skin: The Human Fetal Bulge Is a Pool of Undifferentiated Keratinocytes
research Decision letter: Hair follicle epidermal stem cells define a niche for tactile sensation
Hair follicle stem cells are crucial for touch sensation and proper nerve structure in mice.
research Monilethrix
A boy with monilethrix has brittle hair that breaks easily due to a genetic condition, which might improve by puberty.
research Cyclical dermal micro-niche switching governs the morphological infradian rhythm of mouse zigzag hair
Mouse zigzag hair bends form due to a 3-day cycle of changes in hair progenitors and their environment.
research MLPH-mediated activation of dermal papilla IGF-1 signaling drives human hair shaft elongation and anagen induction
MLPH helps hair grow by activating IGF-1 signaling in hair cells.
research [Nevoid bundle hairs].
Naevoid bundle hair is an unusual hair growth pattern where multiple hairs fuse together.
research Polyclonal origin and hair induction ability of dermal papillae in neonatal and adult mouse back skin
Dermal papillae cells, important for hair growth, come from multiple cell lines and can be formed by skin cells, regardless of their origin or hair cycle phase. These cells rarely divide, but their ability to shape tissue may contribute to their efficiency in inducing 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 Epithelial skirt and bulge of human facial vellus hair follicles and and associated Merkel cell-nerve complex
Merkel cells are abundant in facial vellus hair follicles, especially during the anagen phase.
research Expression of hair-related keratins in a soft epithelium: Subpopulations of human and mouse dorsal tongue keratinocytes express keratin markers for hair-, skin- and esophageal-types of differentiation
Hoxc13 is important for hair and tongue development by controlling hair keratin genes.
research Close Shave for a Keratin Disorder—K6hf Polymorphism Linked to Pseudofolliculitis Barbae
research EBF1 expressed in the dermal papilla regulates hair type and length
EBF1 controls hair type and length.
research Overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related protein in the skin of transgenic mice interferes with hair follicle development.
Too much parathyroid hormone-related protein in skin disrupts hair growth in mice.
research Differential expression of a gene homologous to a G-α protein gene in neonatal mouse skin during development of hair follicles
The G(S) alpha subunit gene may help start hair follicle growth in newborn mice.
research Hypotrichosis and nail dysplasia: A novel hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia
A 3-year-old girl has a rare condition causing sparse hair and nail issues, with minimal improvement from treatment.
research 840 Early and late matrix progenitors form the terminally differentiated cell layers of the hair follicle
Early and late matrix progenitors in hair follicles create different cell layers, with early ones forming the companion layer and later ones forming the inner root sheath and hair shaft.
research 693 Dermal papilla-derived Wnt ligands are required for adult hair follicle growth
Wnt ligands, produced by dermal papilla cells, are essential for adult hair growth and regeneration.
research PA33 When bones speak through nails: insights from a paediatric case series
Nail abnormalities in children can indicate deeper health issues.
research Dendritic cell migrations involving the pilosebaceous unit in the development of murine skin
Dendritic cells help regulate skin development and hair growth in mice.
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 Hoxc13 and homologs of mammalian hair keratins are required for the cornification of nuptial pads in Xenopus frogs
Hoxc13 and hair keratin are needed for forming rough skin on frog mating pads.
research Tooth, hair and claw: Comparing epithelial stem cell niches of ectodermal appendages
The conclusion is that teeth, hair, and claws have similar stem cell niches, which are important for growth and repair, and more research is needed on their regulation and potential markers.
research Vainas peripilares
The girl's "dandruff" was actually harmless hair casts, not a hygiene issue.

The enzyme PA-PLA1α is important for proper hair follicle development.
research Loose anagen hair of childhood: The phenomenon of easily pluckable hair
Children with loose anagen hair have easily pluckable hair due to root sheath problems, and it might improve without treatment.
