research Morphological Approach to Hair Disorders
Accurate clinical, histological, and genetic methods are key for understanding and treating hair disorders.
research 0882 Patterning and regional specification of hairy skin
Secreted inhibitors of Wnt and IGF signaling control hair and tooth development, creating species-specific patterns.
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 Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice
Prolactin affects when mice shed and grow hair.
research Structure and functions of human hair keratin
research Congenital atrichia with papular lesions resulting from novel mutations in human hairless gene in four consanguineous families
Mutations in the hairless gene cause a rare form of permanent hair loss.
research Expression pattern of human hair keratin basic 1 (hHbl) in hair follicle and pilomatricoma
hHbl gene is active in hair shaft cells and some pilomatricomas.
research In brief
Pilomatricomas don't follow the usual hair follicle cell differentiation process.
research Acquired Progressive Kinking of Hair
Acquired Progressive Kinking of Hair is likely an early sign of male pattern baldness.
research Pili Annulati
The patient's hair has unique structural differences with alternating bright and dark bands.
research The Enrichment of Specific Hair Follicle-Associated Cell Populations in Plucked Hairs Offers an Opportunity to Study Gene Expression Underlying Hair Traits
Plucked hairs can be used instead of skin biopsies to study hair traits because they contain specific cells related to hair.
research Single-cell chromatin landscapes of mouse skin development
The study maps how genes are regulated during mouse hair growth.
research Miniaturized hairs maintain contact with the arrector pili muscle in alopecia areata but not in androgenetic alopecia: A model for reversible miniaturization and potential for hair regrowth
Miniaturized hairs stay connected to muscle in alopecia areata, allowing possible regrowth, but not in androgenetic alopecia.
research Immunohistochemical analysis of tissue remodelling during the anagen—catagen transition of the human hair follicle
The inner root sheath is vital for hair follicle stability during growth changes.
research Microencapsulated human hair dermal papilla cells: a substitute for dermal papilla?
Encapsulated human hair cells can substitute for natural hair cells to grow hair.
research Human hair follicles display a functional equivalent of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis and synthesize cortisol
Human hair follicles can produce cortisol like the body's stress response system.
research Woolly Antics between the Sheaths
Lipase H is important for hair follicle function and shaping hair fibers.
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 Simple and rapid method to isolate and culture follicular papillae from human scalp hair follicles
Researchers developed a quick and easy way to get and grow cells from the base of human hair follicles.
research Divergent genetic mechanism leads to spiny hair in rodents
Rodent spiny hair traits are due to genetic factors other than the Edar gene.
research Molecular principles of hair follicle induction and morphogenesis
Hair follicle development is controlled by interactions between skin tissues and specific molecular signals.
research THE GROWTH OF HUMAN HAIR IN NUDE MICE
Adiponectin reduces inflammation and bone loss in joint replacements.
research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice*

Adult skin cells can be used to create new hair in a lab.
research The Ultrastructure of Tissue Attached to Telogen Hair Roots
Recognizing specific tissue types on telogen hair roots can improve DNA typing.
research Generation and characterization of hair-bearing skin organoids from human pluripotent stem cells
Scientists created hair-growing skin models from stem cells, which could help treat hair loss and skin diseases.
research A model system to analyse the ability of human keratinocytes to form hair follicles
Scientists developed a system to study human hair growth using skin cells, which could help understand hair development and improve skin substitutes for medical use.
research Expression and distribution patterns of spermine, spermidine, and putrescine in rat hair follicle
Polyamines are abundant in certain parts of rat hair follicles and may play a key role in 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.
