660-690 / 1000+ resultsresearch Susceptibility variants for male-pattern baldness on chromosome 20p11
research Lamellar ichthyosis, dwarfism, mental retardation, and hair shaft abnormalities
A new syndrome may link skin, growth, mental, and hair issues.
research miR-29 is an important driver of aging-related phenotypes
miR-29 is a key factor that accelerates aging.
research To grow or not to grow: Hair morphogenesis and human genetic hair disorders
Genetic mutations can cause hair growth disorders by affecting key genes and signaling pathways.
research A Missense Mutation in the Zinc-Finger Domain of the Human Hairless Gene Underlies Congenital Atrichia in a Family of Irish Travellers
A specific gene mutation causes complete hair loss in an Irish Traveller family.
research Histopathology of Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy
The research found that a specific gene mutation causes fewer hair follicles and disrupted hair growth cycles, leading to thin and short hair in people with Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy.
research Identification of factors contributing to phenotypic divergence via quantitative image analyses of autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with homozygous c.736T>ALIPH mutation
Different hair fiber development might explain why hair loss severity varies in patients with a specific genetic mutation, and treatments that thicken hair could help.
research Type 2 Diabetic Mellitus Inhibits Skin Renewal through Inhibiting WNT-Dependent Lgr5+ Hair Follicle Stem Cell Activation in C57BL/6 Mice
Type 2 diabetes slows down skin and hair renewal by blocking important stem cell activation in mice.
research Frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism presenting as posterior cortical atrophy
A woman's unique dementia was misdiagnosed, a genetic mutation increases Parkinson's risk with age, and finasteride may help with Tourette syndrome.
research Autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis caused by LIPH mutations: a case report
Mutations in the LIPH gene cause woolly hair in a child.
research Loose Anagen Hair Associated with Wooly Hair Caused by a Heterozygous, Intronic KRT71 Variant
A genetic variant in the KRT71 gene may cause loose anagen hair and wooly hair, and symptoms might improve with age.
research Biallelic HEPHL1 variants impair ferroxidase activity and cause an abnormal hair phenotype
Mutations in the HEPHL1 gene cause abnormal hair and cognitive issues.
research Disruption of the temporally regulated cloaca endodermal β-catenin signaling causes anorectal malformations
Disrupting β-catenin signaling in certain cells causes anorectal malformations.
research Miscellaneous Disorders
Trichorrhexis nodosa causes hair to break easily, often affecting young to middle-aged black women.
research Decision letter: Loss of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b does not affect epidermal homeostasis but promotes squamous transformation through PPAR-γ
Loss of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b increases aggressive skin tumors by affecting PPAR-γ.
research Investigation of the crosstalk between proteasome function and nucleotide excision repair mechanism during ageing
The document concludes that the discussed biological mechanisms and potential therapies are not related to hair loss or hair growth.
research TLR9 activation in large wound induces tissue repair and hair follicle regeneration via gamma delta T cells
Activating TLR9 helps heal large wounds and regrow hair by involving a specific type of immune cell.
research The hair shaft: normality, abnormality, and genetics
Hair microscopy is useful for diagnosing hair disorders, but clear definitions are needed for accurate genetic analysis.
research Advanced glycation end-products inhibit mesenchymal-epidermal interaction by up-regulating proinflammatory cytokines in hair follicles
AGEs may cause hair loss by increasing inflammation in hair follicles.
research Comprehensive Transcriptome Profiling of Balding and Non-Balding Scalps in Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome Type I Patient
The study found genetic differences related to hair development that may explain hair loss in a patient with Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type I.
research Chronic telogen effluvium is due to a reduction in the variance of anagen duration
Chronic hair shedding may be caused by less variation in hair growth times and might stop on its own after several years.
research Telogen elongation in the hair cycle of ob/ob mice
Obese mice with a leptin gene mutation have a longer resting phase in their hair cycle, which may help understand certain hair loss conditions.
research Molecular elements of the regulatory control of keratin filament modulator AHF/trichohyalin in the hair follicle
The study concluded that a protein important for hair strength is regulated by certain molecular processes and is affected by growth phases.

Gene therapy has potential as a future treatment for Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.
research Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5B deficiency due to a novel missense mutation in the coiled-coil domain
A boy's growth and immune problems were caused by a new mutation in the STAT5B gene.
research A novel PLEC nonsense homozygous mutation (c.7159G > T; p.Glu2387*) causes epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy and diffuse alopecia: a case report
A new mutation in the PLEC gene causes a rare condition with skin blistering, muscle weakness, and hair loss.
