research Deciphering the molecular morphology of the human hair cycle: Wnt signalling during the telogen–anagen transformation
Wnt signaling is important for the change from the resting phase to the growth phase in human hair cycles.
research Wool fiber curvature is correlated with abundance of K38 and specific keratin‐associated proteins
Wool fiber curliness is linked to the presence of certain proteins and K38.
research The structure of human trichohyalin. Potential multiple roles as a functional EF-hand-like calcium-binding protein, a cornified cell envelope precursor, and an intermediate filament-associated (cross-linking) protein
Trichohyalin helps in hair and skin cell structure and function by binding calcium and linking proteins.
research High-voltage Electron Microscopy and 3-D reconstruction of human hair fiber ultrastructure
The research provided a detailed view of the non-keratinous parts of human hair fibers.
research Formation of surface membranes in developing mammalian hair fibres
Mature hair surfaces are formed by keratinized cells with developed layers, not just modified plasma membranes.
research Structural changes in the trichocyte intermediate filaments accompanying the transition from the reduced to the oxidized form
Oxidation changes the structure of hair protein filaments, causing them to compact and rearrange.
research Pili annulati with fragility: Electron microscopic findings of a case
The study found that hair fragility in Pili annulati may be caused by cavities and damage within the hair shafts.
research Effects of permanent waving on changes of protein and physicomorphological properties in human head hair.
Repeated digital perming with sodium thioglycolate lotion significantly damages hair protein and structure.
research Pili Annulati with Multiple Fragile Hairs
Frequent hairdryer use may worsen hair fragility in people with Pili Annulati.
research Function and interactions of the Ysc84/SH3yl1 family of actin- and lipid-binding proteins
The Ysc84/SH3yl1 protein family is important for cell movement and the process of taking in materials by interacting with actin and cell membranes.
research Cellular and extracellular involvement in the regeneration of the rat lower vibrissa follicle
Both cell and non-cell parts are important for rat whisker follicle regrowth.
research THE SHEPHERDS HOOK PHENOMENON PATTERN OF HAIR ROOTS A DEMONSTRATION OF COMPARATIVE BIOLECTROMAGNETISM BETWEEN HUMAN HAIRS AND MOUSE WHISKERS BY MEANS OF THE PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT
Human hair and mouse whiskers emit similar biomagnetic fields.

Trichohyalin, a hair follicle protein, has a part with repeating patterns of 23 amino acids.
research Banded Scalp Hair with an Unusual Glistening Appearance in a Teenager: A Quiz
A teenager's hair with alternating white and dark bands, known as Pili annulati, is a genetic condition that is usually harmless and often considered attractive.
research Synchronizing actin and microtubules for axonal branching
Certain proteins help nerve cells branch, and other findings relate to cancer, stem cell behavior, and cell division.
research Ultrastructural characteristics of trichilemmal cysts: report of two cases
Trichilemmal cysts may form from hair follicle outer root sheath growth.
research Pili Torti: A Feature of Numerous Congenital and Acquired Conditions
Pili torti is a rare condition where hair is twisted and breaks easily, often linked to genetic disorders or other health issues.
research Changes of Curvature with Regain of Set Wool and Hair Fibers
Merino wool fibers change shape with moisture, while human hair shape stays the same.
research 883 Hair follicle bulb developed as 3D scaffold free microtissue
Scientists created a tiny, 3D model of a hair follicle that grows and acts like a real one.
research Forkhead/winged-helix transcription factor whn regulates hair keratin gene expression: Molecular analysis of theNude skin phenotype
Whn is essential for hair growth, and its malfunction causes hair loss.
research Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes During a Wool Follicle Growth Cycle Induced by Prolactin
Certain genes are linked to wool follicle structure and function, but not hair cycle regulation.
research A Correlative Fluorescent and Electron Microscopic Technique for Ultralocalization of Trichocyte Keratins
