810-840 / 1000+ results research Curly bare (cub), a new mouse mutation on chromosome 11 causing skin and hair abnormalities, and a modifier gene (mcub) on chromosome 5
A new mouse mutation causes skin and hair issues, influenced by another gene.
research Hair-follicle dermal papilla and sheath fibroblasts provide a supportive microenvironment for human skin regeneration
Certain cells around hair follicles help improve skin regeneration for potential use in skin grafts.
research Ultrastructural characteristics of trichilemmal cysts: report of two cases
Trichilemmal cysts may form from hair follicle outer root sheath growth.
research Pilomatricoma can differentiate not only towards hair matrix and hair cortex, but also follicular infundibulum, outer root sheath and hair bulge
Pilomatricoma can develop into various hair-related structures.
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 Spiny Keratoderma
Spiny keratoderma is a rare skin condition with small spines on palms and soles, possibly linked to abnormal hair formation.
research The Gross Morphology and Scanning Electron Microscopic Evaluation of the Skin Surface in Congenic Strains of Hairless Mice
Hairless mice lose hair by 3-4 weeks, develop thicker, folded skin, and show pigmentation differences.
research Exogen Hairs in Women with and without Hair Loss
Women with and without hair loss have similar amounts of exogen hairs, so these hairs are not a key factor in hair loss conditions.
research Author response: A multi-scale model for hair follicles reveals heterogeneous domains driving rapid spatiotemporal hair growth patterning
Understanding hair follicle interactions can help treat male pattern baldness.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells Maintain the Differentiation Refractory Niche for Co-Occupant Melanocyte Stem Cells by Regulating Retinoid Metabolic Process
Hair follicle stem cells prevent melanocyte stem cells from differentiating by controlling retinoic acid levels.
research Pearly Pinna Papules in a Young Female
The young woman has a benign, hereditary skin condition with no signs of a more serious syndrome.
research Human hair keratin network and curvature
Curly hair shape is due to uneven growth patterns in the hair follicle.
research UC-MSC-Es enhance the proliferation of human hair dermal papilla cells.
UC-MSC-Es help human hair cells grow.
research Activating β-catenin signaling in CD133-positive dermal papilla cells increases hair inductivity
Boosting β-catenin signaling in certain skin cells can enhance hair growth.
research Characterization of Primary Cilia and Intraflagellar Transport 20 in the Epidermis
Ift20 is essential for hair follicle function and skin cell movement.
research Cytochemistry of Trichohyalin Granules: A Possible Role for Cornification of Inner Root Sheath Cell in the Hair Follicle
Trichohyalin granules help inner root sheath cells in hair follicles harden by integrating with keratin filaments.
research A case of familial trichomegaly with synophrys in association with loose anagen syndrome
A 17-year-old girl and her brothers have a rare hair condition with long eyelashes, thick eyebrows, and easily pluckable hair.
research Distribution of P2X3‐immunoreactive fibers in hairy and glabrous skin of the rat
P2X3-IR fibers are widespread in rat skin and likely help detect pain.
research Two cases of aplasia cutis congenita with hair collar signs and macrophage hyperplasia
Two cases showed skin abnormalities without bone or neural defects.
research Skin and hair abnormalities of Cantu syndrome: A congenital hypertrichosis due to a genetic alteration mimicking the pharmacological effect of minoxidil
Cantu syndrome, which causes excessive hair growth and skin issues, is due to a mutation in the ABCC9 gene, and understanding this could help develop new treatments for hair diseases.
research Hair melanocytes as neuro-endocrine sensors—Pigments for our imagination
Hair melanocytes help the skin respond to stress and regulate hair pigmentation.
research Human hair follicle and interfollicular keratinocyte reactivity to mouse HPV16-transformed cells: An in vitro study
HPV16-transformed cells can change human skin cell properties, aiding tumor growth.
research Mammalian keratin associated proteins (KRTAPs) subgenomes: disentangling hair diversity and adaptation to terrestrial and aquatic environments
Different hair types in mammals are linked to variations in specific protein genes, with changes influenced by their living environments.
research Mouse notch: expression in hair follicles correlates with cell fate determination.
Mouse Notch is important for determining cell roles in hair follicles.
research Epidermal Cells Expressing Putative Cell Markers in Nonglabrous Skin Existing in Direct Proximity with the Distal End of the Arrector Pili Muscle
