Identification of Factors Contributing to Phenotypic Divergence via Quantitative Image Analyses of Autosomal Recessive Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis with Homozygous c.736T>A LIPH Mutation

research Identification of Factors Contributing to Phenotypic Divergence via Quantitative Image Analyses of Autosomal Recessive Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis with Homozygous c.736T>A LIPH Mutation

12 citations , July 2016 in “British journal of dermatology/British journal of dermatology, Supplement”

This study observed phenotypic diversity in hair loss among Japanese individuals homozygous for the LIPH c.736T>A mutation and suggests that differences in hair thickness may contribute to varying severities.

research Treatment of Monilethrix with Oral Minoxidil

37 citations , May 2016 in “JAAD case reports”

This abstract describes monilethrix, an autosomal dominant genodermatosis with symptoms like hair fragility and keratosis pilaris, and does not report new experimental results.

research N1-Methylspermidine, A Stable Spermidine Analog, Prolongs Anagen And Regulates Epithelial Stem Cell Functions In Human Hair Follicles

13 citations , July 2015 in “Archives of dermatological research”

This study found that the spermidine analog N1-methylspermidine prolonged hair follicle growth and decreased inflammation and oxidative stress in cultured hair follicles, suggesting potential relevance for treating inflammatory scalp diseases.

research Keratins: The Hair Shaft's Backbone Revealed

17 citations , February 2015 in “Experimental Dermatology”
