research Volume Changes During Water Binding to Hair Fibers
Hair increases in size when it absorbs water, and treatments like bleaching affect how much water it can take in.
research Structure and Development of the Skin and Cutaneous Appendages
Understanding skin structure and development helps diagnose and treat skin disorders.
research Diagnosis and treatment of isolated autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis
ARWH is a rare hair disorder with no cure, but potential treatments include minoxidil and other therapies.
research Hair follicle organoids: advances in construction, applications, and translational challenges
Hair follicle organoids can help study hair biology and disorders but need improvements for wider use.
research Convergent Decay of Skin-specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, showing complex skin evolution.
research Organization and Expression of Hair Follicle Genes.
Hair growth is controlled by specific gene clusters and proteins, and cysteine affects hair gene expression in sheep.
research Multifunctional Merkel cells: Their roles in electromagnetic reception, finger-print formation, Reiki, epigenetic inheritance and hair form
Merkel cells may have roles in sensing magnetic fields, creating fingerprints, Reiki energy healing, passing on environmental information to offspring, and influencing hair shape.
research The Overexpression of Tβ4 in the Hair Follicle Tissue of Alpas Cashmere Goats Increases Cashmere Yield and Promotes Hair Follicle Development
Overexpressing Tβ4 in goats' hair follicles increases cashmere production and hair follicle growth.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Hair follicle transcriptome profiles during the transition from anagen to catagen in Cashmere goat (Capra hircus)
The transition from growth to regression in Cashmere goat hair follicles involves changes in expression of genes related to keratin and cell differentiation.
research Microscopical characterization of known postmortem root bands using light and scanning electron microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Ability of Transplanted Cultured Epithelium to Respond to Dermal Papillae
Cultured epithelium can form hair follicles when combined with dermal papillae.
research Discovery of differentially expressed genes in cashmere goat (Capra hircus) hair follicles by RNA sequencing
Researchers found 617 genes that behave differently in cashmere goat hair follicles, which could help understand hair growth.
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 Congenital Hypotrichosis in Japanese White Strain (JW-NIBS) Rabbits.
A single recessive gene causes sparse hair in certain Japanese White rabbits.
research Discussion: Themes in the Molecular Structure of Hair
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair structure and strength.
research Biocompatibility of KAPs-Depleted Residual Hair
KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.
research The Hair Follicle: An Underutilized Source of Cells and Materials for Regenerative Medicine
Hair follicles are valuable for regenerative medicine and wound healing.
research A role of melatonin in neuroectodermal‐mesodermal interactions: the hair follicle synthesizes melatonin and expresses functional melatonin receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
