690-720 / 1000+ resultsresearch The development of cutaneous afferent pathways in fetal sheep: a structural and functional study
Fetal sheep develop skin nerve pathways and responses to touch and heat between 75 and 134 days of gestation.
research Author response: Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Hairlessness in mammals is caused by combined changes in genes and regulatory regions.
research Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Analysis of Human Hair Fiber Structure
Human hair has different protein structures in its cuticle and cortex.
research The infected hairs of tinea capitis due to Microsporum canis: Demonstration of uniqueness of the hair cuticle by scanning electron microscopy
The hair cuticle acts as a barrier against fungal infection, which occurs only deep within the hair follicle.
research Regulatory T cells in skin utilize the Cxcr4-Cxcl12 axis to promote hair follicle regeneration
Regulatory T cells help hair growth by using the Cxcr4-Cxcl12 pathway.
research 089 Neoplasms bypass immune evasion via hair follicle residence
Neoplasms hide in hair follicles to avoid the immune system.
research "Curly" Wood and Tiger Tails
Tiger tail bands in hair are caused by wavy hair fibers with melanin, unlike straight fibers in normal hair.
research Nanotribological characterization of human hair and skin using atomic force microscopy
The research improved understanding of hair and skin properties across different ethnicities and 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 A novel monoclonal antibody to the outer root sheath cells

research TRPV4 Is Expressed in Human Hair Follicles and Inhibits Hair Growth In Vitro
TRPV4 slows hair growth by affecting hair follicle cells.
research 689 Regional differences in scalp innervation: A pilot study of the healthy scalp
The back of the scalp has more nerve fibers than the front, which may explain why some people feel more sensitivity there.
research Investigation of differences in follicular penetration of particle-and nonparticle-containing emulsions by laser scanning microscopy
Particles similar in size to hair cells penetrate hair follicles better.
research Beyond the Epidermal-Melanin-Unit: The Human Scalp Anagen Hair Bulb Is Home to Multiple Melanocyte Subpopulations of Variable Melanogenic Capacity
The human scalp has different types of pigment cells in hair follicles with varying abilities to produce pigment.
research 877 Small T antigen from a folliculotropic polyomavirus activates canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling in vivo
A virus protein can activate a pathway that may lead to abnormal hair follicle development.
