research Structural Abnormalities of the Hair Shaft
This article reviews the classification of hair shaft abnormalities, outlining their diagnostic features, but does not present new research findings.
research Trichothiodystrophy: An Ultrastructural Study of the Hair Follicle
This study found that trichothiodystrophic hair shows reduced and disoriented protein deposition in follicles, with both the cuticle and cortex affected, providing localized structural insights into keratin abnormalities.
research Low-Sulfur Hair Syndrome Associated with UVB Photosensitivity and Testicular Failure
This case report identified UVB photosensitivity and testicular failure as previously unreported components of low-sulfur hair syndrome in a 16-year-old male.
research Trichothiodystrophy: A Morphological and Biochemical Study
This study reports that despite normal cystine incorporation into hair follicles, trichothiodystrophy patients have decreased cystine levels in hair shafts, contradicting the hypothesis of defective transport in hair follicles.
research Neurotrichosis: Hair-Shaft Abnormalities Associated With Neurological Diseases
The authors reviewed cases of six children with both hair-shaft abnormalities and neurological disorders, noting that such hair defects may indicate neurological conditions, including potentially treatable metabolic errors.
research Trichothiodystrophy: A Study on Sulfur-Deficient Brittle Hair and Associated Symptoms
In this study, researchers examined two new cases of trichothiodystrophy and observed that the condition is linked to decreased synthesis of high-sulfur matrix proteins in hair.
research Generalized Trichorrhexis Nodosa: A Case Study
This study describes a case of generalized trichorrhexis nodosa and finds that defects in alpha-keratin chain formation and low cystine levels in hair may contribute to the condition.
