research When the algorithm fails and experience wins: An extraordinary trichoscopic case
Thorough hair examination is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
research Unusual dermoscopic features in a patient with alopecia areata
Alopecia areata can show unusual red-dotted vessels and dithranol treatment may mask typical patterns.
research Improved two‐dimensional electrophoretic mapping of Japanese human hair proteins; application to curved and straight Japanese human hairs; and protein identification by MALDI MS and MS/MS quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry
The study found that minor protein differences between curved and straight Japanese hair are unlikely to significantly affect hair structure.
research A homozygous missense variant in type I keratin KRT25 causes autosomal recessive woolly hair
A genetic variant in the KRT25 gene causes tightly curled hair.
research Diseases that turn African hair silky
Certain diseases like AIDS and lupus can make African hair become silky.
research A Missense Mutation within the Helix Initiation Motif of the Keratin K71 Gene Underlies Autosomal Dominant Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis
A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.
research Two different trichoscopic patterns of mid-frontal scalp in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia and clinical features of androgenetic alopecia
Two trichoscopic patterns found in hair loss: diffuse fibrotic and androgenetic alopecia, affecting treatment choice and regrowth chances.
research New aspects of the structure of human hair on the basis of optical microscopic observations of disassembled hair parts.
Human hair's strength comes from a honeycomb-like structure and macrofibrils.
research Three-row stereocilia model predicts mammalian hair bundle behavior
The model explains how mammal ear hair cells respond to sound and adapt.
research Age, lifestyle and self‐perceptions of hair: Is there an association with hair diameter and tensile properties?
Older age and certain lifestyles are linked to thinner, weaker hair, while how you see your hair relates to its thickness.
research Nanoindentation of Hair Cortex and Medulla Regions
research Effect of Hizkia fusiforme Okamura on the proliferation of dermal papilla celIs
Hizkia fusiforme seaweed extract can help promote hair growth.
research Viewpoint 1
Understanding skin patterns can help us learn about skin diseases and their treatments.
research Hair Weathering
Avoid chemical and physical damage to protect hair.
research Hair Shaft Abnormalities. Pili Bifurcati: A Scanning Electron Microscopy Analysis
The study found that pili bifurcati causes hair to intermittently split into two branches, each with its own outer layer.
research An Integrated Analysis of MicroRNA and mRNA Expression Profiles to Identify RNA Expression Signatures in Lambskin Hair Follicles in Hu Sheep
Certain miRNAs and genes influence wave patterns in Hu sheep hair follicles.
research Diffuse Hair Loss
research Multiscale modelling of human hair
Human hair becomes weaker and stretches more easily at higher temperatures.
research Homozygous K5Cre transgenic mice have wavy hair and accelerated malignant progression in a murine model of skin carcinogenesis
Homozygous K5Cre transgenic mice have wavy hair and faster cancer progression.
research Novel Tissue Mechanics-Guided Cellular Flows Enable the Evolution of Feather Follicles
Cellular flows and tissue mechanics guide feather follicle formation in birds.
research Quantifying hair shape and hair damage induced during reshaping of hair.
New imaging and testing methods can effectively assess hair shape changes and damage.
research A New Histologic Pattern in 6 Biopsies From Early Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
Researchers found a new early sign of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia that could help avoid misdiagnosis.
research Fourier Transform Infrared Attenuated Total Reflection Analysis of Human Hair: Comparison of Hair from Breast Cancer Patients with Hair from Healthy Subjects
Hair from breast cancer patients shows changes in structure and composition, and a test using these changes detected cancer but also falsely identified some healthy samples as cancerous.
research An unusual pattern of alopecia areatas
A man had an unusual type of hair loss that didn't match known patterns and didn't improve with treatment.
research The effect of relative humidity on the spreading of ethanol on human hair fibers
Ethanol spreads well on hair at low humidity but less so at higher humidity due to water condensation.
research Non‐invasive evaluation of hair interior morphology by X‐ray microscope
X-ray microscopy can non-invasively show hair structure changes after treatments, but it's less detailed than TEM and needs improvement.
research Localisation of members of the notch system and the differentiation of vibrissa hair follicles: Receptors, ligands, and fringe modulators
Notch-related genes play a key role in the development and cycling of hair follicles.
research High-throughput phenotyping methods for quantifying hair fiber morphology
Quantifying hair shape is better than using racial categories for understanding hair characteristics.
research Cellular Debris in the Grease of Wool Fibers
Cellular debris sticks to damaged wool fibers and affects wool cleanliness.
