research Order from disorder: Self-organization in mammalian hair patterning
Hair patterns in mice are controlled by both a global system dependent on Fz6 and a local self-organizing system.
research Histopathological Analysis on keratin2-6 g Expression in Hair Mutant Mouse Hague
Keratin2-6g is crucial for hair follicle development, with mutations causing cell degeneration and vacuolation.
research Acquired curved hair is caused by fusion of multiple hair matrix cells
Curved hair can develop when hair cells merge abnormally during growth.
