Research
270-300 / 1000+ results research Development of a novel, clinically-relevant model for investigating factors that stimulate human hair growth
Testosterone stimulates growth in intermediate hair follicles, but this can be blocked by cyproterone acetate.
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 Human hair morphology: a scanning electron microscopy study on a male Caucasoid and a computerized classification of regional differences.
Hair varies in size and features depending on body region.
research Pigmented vellus and upright regrowing hairs as the only predictive trichoscopic markers of hair regrowth in alopecia totalis and universalis
Pigmented vellus and upright regrowing hairs predict hair regrowth in severe alopecia.
research Robust coupling between the C‐tactile afferent and the hair follicle in humans
C-tactile nerves are sensitive to hair movement.
research Premature termination of hair follicle morphogenesis and accelerated hair follicle cycling in Iasi congenital atrichia (fzica) mice points to fuzzy as a key element of hair cycle control
The fuzzy gene is crucial for controlling hair growth cycles.
research Heterotypic cell contacts and basal lamina morphology during hair follicle development in the mouse: a light, scanning, and electron microscopic study at the site of tissue interaction
Heterotypic cell contacts likely help hair matrix cells differentiate during mouse hair follicle development.
research Morphogenesis of the hair follicle during catagen
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 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 Dermoscopic Approach to a Small Round to Oval Hairless Patch on the Scalp
Dermoscopic examination helps diagnose different types of hair loss conditions by showing specific patterns.
research An ultrastructural study on corkscrew hairs and cigarette‐ash‐shaped hairs observed by dermoscopy of tinea capitis
Corkscrew and cigarette-ash-shaped hairs in tinea capitis are caused by internal hair degradation and external resistance.
research Reduced Linear Hair Growth Rates of Vellus and of Terminal Hairs Produced by Human Balding Scalp Grafted onto Nude Mice
Balding scalps slow down hair growth.
research 5α-Reductase activity in the human hair follicle concentrates in the dermal papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research LB1609 The evolutionary trajectory of primate skin appendage traits
Humans evolved to have less hair and more sweat glands than chimpanzees and macaques.
research 561 Vellus-to-terminal hair follicle reconversion does occur in male pattern balding in a new humanized mouse model of androgenetic alopecia and is promoted by minoxidil and PRP
Minoxidil and PRP can help convert miniaturized hair follicles back to normal in male pattern baldness.
research Hair curvature: a natural dialectic and review
The document concludes that hair curvature can be explained by the growth patterns caused by the shape and separation of cells in the hair follicle and is affected by specific molecular pathways.
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 Rethinking the mechanics of hair growth: evidence for a pulling model
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Thymic peptides differentially modulate human hair follicle growth.
Thymic peptides can either promote or inhibit human hair growth.
research Proopiomelanocortin expression in the skin during induced hair growth in mice
research Characterization of hair follicles in Hirosaki hairless rats with deletion of basic hair keratin genes : enlarged medulla, loss of cuticle and long catagen
research Apoptotic cells may drive cell death in hair follicles during their regression cycle
Apoptotic cells help cause hair follicle cell death during regression.
research Acquired morphological changes of mammalian hair scales
Mammalian hair scales change from smooth to wavy due to friction.
research Clinicopathological insights into the phenotypic variation of autosomal recessive hypotrichosis/wooly hair by c.736T>A LIPH mutation
The conclusion is that the variation in hair thinness in patients is mostly due to the amount of underdeveloped hairs, and treatments that thicken fine hairs might work for those with mild to severe conditions.
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 889 Trpv3 gain-of-function mutation impairs differentiation of hair follicle inner root sheath
A specific mutation in the TRPV3 gene causes hair follicle cells to develop improperly, leading to hair loss.
research Morphological and morphometric study of the androgenetic alopecic scalp using two- and three-dimensional analysis comparing regional differences
The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.
research 15. Hair and Nails
Women with androgenetic alopecia have fewer terminal hairs, phenol in nail surgery is safe, and a new hair transplant method is faster and less damaging.
