research Characterization of a Cluster of Human High/Ultrahigh Sulfur Keratin-associated Protein Genes Embedded in the Type I Keratin Gene Domain on Chromosome 17q12-21
A cluster of sulfur-rich hair protein genes was found on chromosome 17.
research Ozone interactions with human hair: Ozone uptake rates and product formation
Ozone reacts more with unwashed hair, producing compounds due to scalp oils, which could lower ozone exposure but increase exposure to reaction products.
research Multi-layered environmental regulation on the homeostasis of stem cells: The saga of hair growth and alopecia
Environmental factors at different levels control hair stem cell activity, which could lead to new hair growth and alopecia treatments.
research The genetics of hair shaft disorders
The article explains the genetic causes and symptoms of various hair disorders and highlights the need for more research to find treatments.
research Study ofDemodexmites: Challenges and Solutions
The conclusion is that a new biopsy technique and humidity chamber help study skin mites better and suggest mite overpopulation may cause skin diseases.
research Differential gene expression analysis between anagen and telogen of Capra hircus skin based on the de novo assembled transcriptome sequence
Signaling pathways are crucial for hair growth in goats.
research Hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent: an overview
The document concludes that clinicians should be aware of common hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent and that more research is needed to develop effective treatments.
research Characterization and causal investigations of an alopecia syndrome in Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus)
Young female Australian fur seals are losing hair due to low tyrosine and zinc levels and high pollution exposure.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
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 Gap junctions in Turing-type periodic feather pattern formation
Gap junctions help control feather pattern formation in chickens.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by factors like poor blood circulation, scalp tension, stress, and hormonal imbalances, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research INFLUENCE OF CLIPPING AND CHEMICAL EPILATION ON HAIR GROWTH IN MICE1
Certain treatments can speed up local hair growth in mice but don't change the overall hair growth pattern.
research Diseases of Periocular Hair
The document concludes that periocular hair disorders have various causes and treatments, and proper evaluation by specialists is important for management and prognosis.
research Hair, Human Evolution, and the Idea of Human Uniqueness
Human hair is unique and important for understanding human evolution and identity.
research Hair Loss and the Applied Techniques for Identification of Novel Hair Growth Promoters for Hair Re-Growth
Many products for hair re-growth exist, but a perfect treatment without side effects has not yet been found.
research Transcriptome analysis reveals the genetic basis underlying the development of skin appendages and immunity in hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris)
Genes related to keratin, skin cell differentiation, and immune functions are key in hedgehog skin and spine development.
research Lipedematous Alopecia: Clinical, Histopathological, and Trichoscopic Findings of a Single Case and Review of the Literature
A 66-year-old woman's thick scalp and hair loss were confirmed as lipedematous alopecia, a rare condition possibly influenced by genetics, with no effective treatment known.
research Atlas of Geriatric Dermatology
