research Internal structure changes in bleached black human hair resulting from chemical treatments: A Raman spectroscopic investigation
Chemical treatments on bleached black hair change its internal structure by breaking and reforming bonds, and treatments with hydrolyzed eggwhite protein help repair it.
research Region-specific reversal of epidermal planar polarity in the rosette fancy mouse
Hair follicles in the back of the rosette fancy mouse have reversed orientations due to a gene mutation.
research In vitro evaluation of changes of hair fibers subjected to oxidation-reductive straighteners associated with dyeing
Straightening and dyeing damage hair structure.
research Local structure of human hair spatially resolved by sub-micron X-ray beam
Human hair has a new region with ordered filaments and the cuticle contains β-keratin sheets.
research Nucleation and growth of macrofibrils in trichocyte (hard-α) keratins
Sheet formation is key to macrofibril structure differences in wool.
research Abnormal inner root sheath of the hair follicle in the loose anagen hair syndrome: An ultrastructural study
Loose anagen hair syndrome is caused by structural abnormalities in the hair follicle's inner root sheath.
research Functional redundancy of Frizzled 3 and Frizzled 6 in planar cell polarity control of mouse hair follicles
Frizzled 3 and Frizzled 6 together control the orientation of mouse hair follicles.
research Hair-thread tourniquet syndrome in a preterm baby
A preterm baby's toes were saved from damage by quickly removing a thread that was cutting off circulation.
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 Spangled hair in siblings
Two siblings had a rare hair condition with banded hair, which doesn't need treatment.
research Curl secret in cells
Hair curliness is caused by the arrangement and length of two different cell types.
research Structural change of keratin protein in human hair by permanent waving treatment
Permanent waving damages hair by disrupting its keratin structure.
research Circle hairs involving the extremities in a young girl
Circle hairs are harmless, spiral-shaped body hairs that don't need medical treatment.
research The First Report of Isolated Clitoral Hood Hair-Thread Tourniquet Syndrome: A Study of Six Patients
Early detection and treatment of hair-thread tourniquet syndrome in young girls is important to prevent serious harm.
research Recurrent missense mutations in the hair keratin gene hHb6 in monilethrix
Mutations in the hHb6 gene cause the hair disorder monilethrix.
research Secondary structure estimation and properties analysis of stretched Asian and Caucasian hair
Stretching damages Caucasian hair's structure more easily than Asian hair.
research Proteomic Analysis of Crimped and Straight Wool in Chinese Tan Sheep
Crimped wool has proteins linked to crimp formation, while straight wool has proteins linked to fiber fineness, which can improve wool quality and value.
research Wool Fibres: Sectioning and Staining, Differentiation of Ortho and Paracortex
research Discreet monilethrix: De novo mutation on the example of polish families
A new mutation caused a rare hair disorder in a Polish girl, not inherited from her family.
research MOESM1 of A missense variant in the coil1A domain of the keratin 25 gene is associated with the dominant curly hair coat trait (Crd) in horse
research Rippled‐pattern trichomatricoma
A unique hair tumor with a rippled pattern was identified, showing incomplete differentiation and unusual cell arrangements.
research Cyclic hair-loss and regrowth in transgenic mice overexpressing an intermediate filament gene.
Mice with extra sheep genes had hair that fell out and regrew in cycles.
research Genome-based analysis of the genetic pattern of black sheep in Qira sheep
Black wool in Qira sheep is linked to specific gene mutations, especially in the TYRP1 gene.

research Sequence and structure based assessment of non-synonymous SNPs in hypertrichosis universalis
Two specific SNPs in the TRPS1 gene cause excessive hair growth by altering the protein's structure.
research Comprehensive analysis of the circular RNA expression profile and circRNA–miRNA–mRNA network in the goat skin with divergent wool curvature
Certain circular RNAs are crucial for wool growth and curvature in goats.
research Monilethrix: A Novel Mutation (Glu402Lys) in the Helix Termination Motif and the First Causative Mutation (Asn114Asp) in the Helix Initiation Motif of the Type II Hair Keratin hHb6
New mutations in hair keratin genes cause the rare hair disorder monilethrix.
