330-360 / 1000+ resultsresearch Comparative aspects of the inner root sheath in adult and developing hairs of mammals in relation to the evolution of hairs
The inner root sheath evolved to help hair grow safely through the skin in mammals.
research WNT Signaling in the Control of Hair Growth and Structure
The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.

Two siblings were found to have a genetic condition causing progressive hair loss and woolly hair, which may often be misdiagnosed.
research Histologische Untersuchungen an der bindegewebigen Wurzelscheide des Sinushaarfollikels bei der Katze: das Sinuskissen
The "sinuskissen" in cat hair follicles is mostly connective tissue, affecting fluid flow.
research Hoxc13 mutant mice lack external hair
Hoxc13 gene is essential for hair, nail, and papilla development.
research Generation of a Novel Inducible and Dermal Papilla‐Specific Wif1‐CreER Knock‐In Mouse Line for Hair Follicle Research
A new genetic tool improves the study of hair growth and potential hair disorder treatments.
research The character “hairless” in the mouse
Hairless mice lack fur due to a genetic mutation affecting skin response, not hormone issues.
research Uncombable-hair Syndrome
Four children had unmanageable pale blond hair due to uncombable-hair syndrome.
research Structure of the sinus hair follicle in the big‐clawed shrew, Sorex unguiculatus
The big-clawed shrew's sinus hair follicles are highly specialized for sensing vibrations.
research The mouse hairy ears mutation exhibits an extended growth (anagen) phase in hair follicles and altered Hoxc gene expression in the ears
The mouse hairy ears mutation causes longer ear hair due to changes in gene expression.
research Editor's evaluation: Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Hairlessness in mammals is due to complex genetic changes in both genes and regulatory regions.
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 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 Resequencing and Signatures of Selective Scans Point to Candidate Genetic Variants for Hair Length Traits in Long-Haired and Normal-Haired Tianzhu White Yak
The research found specific genes that may cause longer hair in Tianzhu White Yak.

Uncombable hair is inherited dominantly with complete penetrance.
research "Curly" Wood and Tiger Tails
Tiger tail bands in hair are caused by wavy hair fibers with melanin, unlike straight fibers in normal hair.
research A Comprehensive Review of GWASs of Human Hair Traits
Genetic studies on hair traits can improve understanding of health and disease.
research Novel splice site mutation in the LIPH gene in a patient with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis: Case report and published work review
