research High-throughput phenotyping methods for quantifying hair fiber morphology
Hair fiber shape and curvature are not significantly linked when ancestry is considered.
research Azimuthal Scattering from Elliptical Hair Fibers
Light scatters differently from elliptical hair fibers than from circular ones, and a new model better predicts this behavior, especially for shiny highlights.
research Rethinking the mechanics of hair growth: evidence for a pulling model
research Special Biochemical Features of the Hair Follicle
Hair follicles have unique proteins that vary by species and are influenced by nutrition.
research Angora Mouse Mutation: Altered Hair Cycle, Follicular Dystrophy, Phenotypic Maintenance of Skin Grafts, and Changes in Keratin Expression
The angora mouse mutation causes long hair and hair defects due to a gene deletion.
research Hox in the Niche Controls Hairy-geneity
Hox genes control hair growth patterns in mammals by regulating stem cell activity in the skin.
research Intrinsic curvature in wool fibres is determined by the relative length of orthocortical and paracortical cells
Wool fibre curvature is due to longer orthocortical cells compared to paracortical cells.
research Case report: Exploring autosomal recessive woolly hair: genetic and scanning electron microscopic perspectives on a Japanese patient
A genetic mutation in the LIPH gene causes tightly curled hair that stops growing in some Japanese individuals.
research Hair cross-sectioning in uncombable hair syndrome: An easy tool for complex diagnosis
The document suggests finding a simpler, cheaper way to diagnose Uncombable Hair Syndrome.
research 1326 Hes1 regulates anagen initiation and hair follicle regeneration through modulation of hedgehog signaling
research ELECTRON MICROSCOPE STUDIES OF HAIR AND WOOL
Hair and wool have complex microscopic structures with microfibrils and varying cystine content.
research Human hair keratins
research Tensile properties of twisted hair fibers
Twisting hair weakens it, but strength can be recovered at low twist levels.
research Targeted expression of SV40 T antigen in the hair follicle of transgenic mice produces an aberrant hair phenotype
SV40 T antigen in hair follicles causes abnormal hair and health issues in mice.
research Acquired Progressive Kinking of Hair
Acquired Progressive Kinking of Hair is likely an early sign of male pattern baldness.
research A Prickly Problem
The man had persistent itchy bumps on his cheeks and neck despite trying different shaving products.
research Increased Expression of Zyxin and Its Potential Function in Androgenetic Alopecia
Inhibiting Zyxin may help treat androgenetic alopecia by promoting hair growth.
research Isolation and Characterization of Mouse High-glycine/Tyrosine Proteins
Mouse high-glycine/tyrosine proteins have distinct patterns in hair follicles, peaking at specific hair cycle days.
research Giant Axonal Degeneration: Scanning Electron Microscopic and Biochemical Study of Scalp Hair
The patient's hair had unique damage and a lower sulfur-to-nitrogen ratio compared to relatives, but not compared to healthy controls.
research Quasi-Static Torsional Deformation of Single Hair Fibers: Application of a Modeling Approach and Results from Cosmetic Treatments.
The research found that twisting hair fibers can show changes in stiffness and damage, and help tell apart different hair treatments.
research Supplementary material from "Giant axonal neuropathy alters the structure of keratin intermediate filaments in human hair"
Giant axonal neuropathy changes the structure of keratin in human hair, making it stiffer and stronger.
research The Shaven (Sha) Mutation, Chromosome 15
The Shaven mutation in mice affects hair growth and causes a greasy coat due to abnormal lipid content.
research Hair—the most sophisticated biological composite material
Hair is a complex protein fiber with unique properties useful for developing hair products.
research `Cyclic alopecia' inMsx2mutants: defects in hair cycling and hair shaft differentiation
Msx2-deficient mice experience irregular hair growth and loss due to disrupted hair cycle phases.
research A case of congenital pili multigemini
A rare, harmless hair condition was found in an infant's eyebrow, needing no treatment.
research Water distribution in human hair microstructure elucidated by spin contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering
The technique showed that human hair has two main parts, with 68% being rigid and the rest flexible, and water swelling affects its structure.
research Some electron microscope observations on hardening in the human hair follicle
The hair follicle structure is more complex than thought, with new findings on protein formation.
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 Spatial Probing of the Properties of the Human Hair Surface Using Wilhelmy Force Profiles
Human hair surface varies in wettability, showing daily and monthly patterns.
