research Mapping cell dynamics in human ex vivo hair follicles suggests pulling mechanism of hair growth
Hair growth may involve a pulling force from the outer root sheath.
research The Effectiveness of 675 nm Wavelength Laser Therapy in the treatment Androgenetic alopecia among Indian patients. (Preprint)
675 nm laser therapy effectively improves hair growth in Indian patients with androgenetic alopecia.
research Possible relationships between the physical conditions of cattle and the occurrence of structural modifications of their coat hair
Vitamin A deficiency changes cattle hair structure, while pregnancy may improve it, suggesting hair can indicate cattle health.
research Lichen planopilaris
Lichen planopilaris is a rare, chronic condition causing hair loss, mainly in middle-aged women, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent baldness.
research Histocompatibility and Long-Term Results of the Follicular Unit-Like Wigs after Xenogeneic Hair Transplantation: An Experimental Study in Rabbits
The wigs made from human hair and polypropylene were mostly well-tolerated and durable in rabbits, suggesting they could be a new option for people with extensive hair loss.
research Androgenetic alopecia. Modelling progression and regrowth
AGA causes hair loss through follicle miniaturization and hair cycle changes; regrowth depends on anagen initiation in kenogen follicles.
research Visually scoring hirsutism
The modified Ferriman-Gallwey method is a useful tool for diagnosing hirsutism.
research Androgens and human hair growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research Neural Mechanisms of Hair Growth Control
Nerves and chemicals in the body can affect hair growth and loss.
research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 2111In fond memory of Dr Peter Steinert.
A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.
research Morphological Approach to Hair Disorders
Accurate clinical, histological, and genetic methods are key for understanding and treating hair disorders.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
research Androgens trigger different growth responses in genetically identical human hair follicles in organ culture that reflect their epigenetic diversity in life
Male hormones cause different growth in identical human hair follicles due to their unique epigenetic characteristics.
research Hair shaft abnormalities after chemotherapy and tamoxifen therapy in patients with breast cancer evaluated by optical coherence tomography
Chemotherapy can cause significant hair thinning and changes in hair texture, while tamoxifen has a smaller effect.
research Characterization of X‐linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XL‐HED) hair and sweat gland phenotypes using phototrichogram analysis and live confocal imaging
People with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia have no sweat ducts and less, thinner hair.
research Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution (FAPD) in 16 African-Descent and Hispanic Female Patients: A Challenging Diagnosis
FAPD is a possible diagnosis for hair loss in patients of color and requires multiple evaluations for accurate diagnosis.
research Biology of Human Hair: Know Your Hair to Control It
Understanding hair biology is key to developing better treatments for hair and scalp issues.
research A woman with iatrogenic androgenetic alopecia responding to finasteride
EF and PXE not closely related.
research Examining the Safety and Efficacy of Low-Level Laser Therapy for Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss: A Review of the Literature
Low-level laser therapy safely and effectively improves hair growth and coverage for male and female pattern hair loss.
research Clinical and microscopic evaluation of long-term (6 months) epilation effects of the ipulse personal home-use intense pulsed light (IPL) device
The home-use IPL device effectively reduced hair and delayed its regrowth after six months of use, with users happy and no negative side effects.
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 Effects of Guasha on histomorphology of scraped skins and on expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide and substance P in rats
Guasha changed rat skin appearance and blood vessels temporarily without affecting certain nerve proteins or fiber structure.
research Cosmetic Dermatology

Young adults have about 230,000 tactile nerve fibers, decreasing 5-8% per decade with age.
research The Histopathology of Noncicatricial Alopecia
Different types of hair loss have unique features under a microscope, but a doctor's exam is important for accurate diagnosis.
research Multiple Myeloma–Associated Amyloidosis Presenting With Acrolocalized Acquired Cutis Laxa
A man with rare skin changes on his fingers was diagnosed with multiple myeloma-linked amyloidosis.
research Tactile innervation densities across the whole body
