Structural features of the α-type filaments of the inner root sheath cells of the guinea pig hair follicle

The study by Peter M. Steinert, published in 1978, examined the structural features of α-type filaments in the inner root sheath cells of guinea pig hair follicles. The research provided detailed insights into the composition and organization of these filaments, contributing to the understanding of hair follicle biology. The findings highlighted the specific structural characteristics that differentiate α-type filaments from other filament types within the hair follicle, offering a foundation for further studies on hair growth and hair follicle function.
