Research
720-750 / 1000+ results research Outer root sheath keratinization in anagen and catagen of the mammalian hair follicle. A seventh distinct type of keratinization in the hair follicle: trichilemmal keratinization.
Trichilemmal keratinization is a unique process in hair follicles where the outer root sheath turns into keratin without a specific layer.
research Development of a novel, clinically-relevant model for investigating factors that stimulate human hair growth
Testosterone stimulates growth in intermediate hair follicles, but this can be blocked by cyproterone acetate.
research Bullous Congenital Ichthyosiform Erythroderma with Tinea Capitis in Half-Siblings: Rare Phenomenon in Ichthyosis with Co-Existing Trichophyton rubrum Infection and Blocker Displacement Amplification for Mosaic Mutation Detection
Half-siblings with a rare skin condition improved with treatment for a fungal infection, but hair loss remained.
research Desmoplastic tricholemmoma in a dog
A dog had a rare skin tumor called desmoplastic tricholemmoma.
research Hair: more than just an appendage
A boy and his father with hereditary hypotrichosis simplex were treated for hair loss, but the treatment result is unknown.
research Disorders of hair in infants and children other than alopecia
A mushroom extract might reduce hair loss and liver damage caused by certain chemotherapy drugs in animals.

Trichoscopy is useful for diagnosing and monitoring alopecia areata treatment.
research 1390 Lineage-committed fibroblast populations are more efficient at regenerating hair follicles in chamber grafting assays when compared to undifferentiated embryonic fibroblasts
Differentiated fibroblasts regenerate hair follicles better than undifferentiated ones.
research In brief
Pilomatricomas don't follow the usual hair follicle cell differentiation process.

Trichotillomania involves hair pulling and can be treated with therapy and medication.
research Dermatoscopy case of the month: Trichodysplasia spinulosa
A man with a weakened immune system was diagnosed with a rare skin condition called trichodysplasia spinulosa using skin examination techniques.
research Temporal Triangular Alopecia – A Diagnostic Dilemma: Case Series of Six Patients

rTMS may help treat trichotillomania in some patients.
research In vitro Keratin Expression of Hair Cells
Hair cells grown in a lab showed specific hair proteins.
research Isolated hair loss on the eyebrow: five cases with trichoscopic features
Trichoscopy helps tell apart hair loss due to alopecia areata from trichotillomania in eyebrows.
research The germinative epithelium of sheep vibrissae and wool follicles has extensive proliferative potential but is dependent on the dermal papilla
Sheep hair follicle cells can grow a lot but need the dermal papilla to do so.
research TRPS1 haploinsufficiency results in increased STAT3 and SOX9 mRNA expression in hair follicles in trichorhinophalangeal syndrome
Reduced TRPS1 leads to increased STAT3 and SOX9 in hair follicles, affecting hair growth.
research Dermal papilla cells induce keratinocyte tubulogenesis in culture
Skin cells can help create early hair-like structures in lab cultures.
research Analysis of Gene Expression in Isolated Single Hair Follicles: An Approach Using Semiquantitative Reverse-Transcriptase—Polymerase Chain Reaction
Researchers developed a new way to measure gene activity in single hair follicles and found that a specific gene's activity changes with different amounts and times of treatment.
research Tenascin-C expressing touch dome keratinocytes exhibit characteristics of all epidermal lineages
Touch dome keratinocytes in adult skin have traits of different skin cell types.
research Unusual loss of body hair in childhood: Trichotillomania or alopecia
Proper diagnosis and treatment of childhood hair loss require distinguishing between alopecia and trichotillomania.
research Trichotillomania: What Do We Know So Far?
Trichotillomania treatment is most successful with a mix of behavioral therapy, medication, and social support.
research Monilethrix in monozygotic twins with very rare mutation in KRT 86 gene
Identical twins with a rare KRT 86 gene mutation both have the hair disorder monilethrix.
research Identification of Trichophyton rubrum by Nested PCR Analysis from Paraffin Embedded Specimen in Trichophytia Profunda Acuta of the Glabrous Skin
Nested PCR can reliably identify fungal infections when traditional methods fail.
research Evaluation of Hair Density and Hair Diameter in the Adult Egyptian Population using Quantitative Trichoscopic Analysis
Trichoscopy is a quick, non-invasive way to measure hair density and thickness, helping diagnose hair loss.
research 470 Exploring the possible involvement of skin-resident memory T cells in refractory chronic alopecia areata
Chronic refractory alopecia areata has more skin-resident memory T cells, and JAK inhibitors may help reduce them.
research Watching hair grow
Hair grows when stem cell offspring in the follicle base proliferate, influenced by the dermal papilla.
research A rare clinical image of hypertrichosis (Werewolf syndrome)
Hypertrichosis causes excessive hair growth and needs psychological support due to its impact on self-esteem.
