research Faculty Opinions recommendation of A new classification of pattern hair loss that is universal for men and women: basic and specific (BASP) classification.
The BASP classification is a detailed system for categorizing hair loss in both men and women, but it may be complex for beginners and not fully suitable for grading female hair loss.
research Reimagining Hair Science: A New Approach to Classify Curly Hair Phenotypes via New Quantitative Geometrical & Structural Mechanical Parameters
A new system for classifying curly hair types using precise measurements can improve hair care products and cultural inclusion.
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 Whiskers amiss, a new vibrissae and hair mutation near the Krt1 cluster on mouse Chromosome 11
