Melanin density affects hair color, and this method can help in cosmetic assessments and diagnosing hair diseases.
research The potential of androgenic alopecia management from plant derivatives
Plant extracts like Avicennia marina, Boehmeria nipononivea, and Camellia sinensis could potentially treat hair loss with fewer side effects than synthetic drugs.
research CPC14 Blaschko-linear trichoepitheliomas: unveiling type 1 segmental mosaicism
A rare skin condition in a boy is likely due to a specific genetic mutation pattern.

Abnormal gene expression related to keratin causes hair loss in certain mice.
research Hair follicle differentiation and regulation.
Hair follicle growth and development are controlled by specific genes and molecular signals.
research Thyroid Hormones Directly Alter Human Hair Follicle Functions: Anagen Prolongation and Stimulation of Both Hair Matrix Keratinocyte Proliferation and Hair Pigmentation
Thyroid hormones help hair grow, reduce hair loss, and increase hair pigment.
research Congenital hair loss disorders: Rare, but not too rare
Some hair loss disorders are caused by genetic mutations affecting hair growth.
research Keratin Expression Provides Novel Insight into the Morphogenesis and Function of the Companion Layer in Hair Follicles
Keratin patterns in hair follicles help understand hair growth and potential hair and nail disorders.
research p53 Is a Direct Transcriptional Repressor of Keratin 17: Lessons from a Rat Model of Radiation Dermatitis
The protein p53 directly reduces the production of Keratin 17, a skin and hair protein, in rats with radiation dermatitis.
research Perspectives on Hair Evolution Based on Some Comparative Studies on Vertebrate Cornification
Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.
research Proteomic Characterization of Damaged Single Hairs Recovered after an Explosion for Protein-Based Human Identification
Explosions don't stop hair proteins from being used to identify people.
research Alopecia areata susceptibility variant identified by MHC risk haplotype sequencing reproduces symptomatic patched hair loss in mice
A gene variant causes patched hair loss in mice, similar to alopecia areata in humans.
research Competitive balance of intrabulge BMP/Wnt signaling reveals a robust gene network ruling stem cell homeostasis and cyclic activation
BMP and Wnt signaling balance controls hair follicle stem cell activity and hair growth.
research Gene expression profiling gets to the root of human hair follicle stem cells
Human hair follicle stem cells can be isolated using specific markers for potential therapeutic use.
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 Generalized trichoepitheliomas with alopecia and myasthenia gravis: Clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical study and comparison with classic and desmoplastic trichoepithelioma
Generalized trichoepitheliomas with hair loss may indicate myasthenia gravis.
