The study found that minor protein differences between curved and straight Japanese hair are unlikely to significantly affect hair structure.
research Determination of follicular direction and preparation of micrograft holes for hair transplantation
The technique improved hair transplant success and patient satisfaction by matching hair growth direction.
research Cell Polarization Defects in Early Heart Development
Defects in certain proteins cause major heart abnormalities during early development.
research How a Bird Gets Its Feathers: Insights from Chromatin Looping
Feather patterns are influenced by enhancers and chromatin looping, and the structure of protein complexes important for hair growth has been detailed.
research Pulling force deforms hair follicle root sheath nuclei and surrounding dermal collagen matrix differently at infundibulum, isthmus and suprabulbar regions
Hair follicles respond differently to pulling forces in various regions.
research Acquired curved hair is caused by fusion of multiple hair matrix cells
Curved hair can develop when hair cells merge abnormally during growth.

research Water distribution in human hair microstructure elucidated by spin contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering
The technique showed that human hair has two main parts, with 68% being rigid and the rest flexible, and water swelling affects its structure.
research N1-acetylspermidine is a determinant of hair follicle stem cell fate
N1-acetylspermidine promotes hair follicle stem cell self-renewal.
