This study mapped the curly mutation in mice to a specific region on chromosome 11, identifying it as a candidate model for studying human genetic hair disorders.

This study describes a 4-year-old boy who exhibits a rare, synchronized pattern of hair growth and shedding, unlike the typical asynchronous pattern seen in humans.

This study reports five cases of congenital triangular alopecia featuring a central island of short terminal hair, with the cause remaining unknown.

This study identified five distinct scalp whorl patterns, noting that white males have the most distinct whorls, while African Americans and women more often exhibit a diffusion pattern.

Tufted folliculitis is common in patients with folliculitis decalvans.

This study found that comma hairs are a distinctive feature of tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis, distinguishing it from alopecia areata, which is characterized by exclamation mark hairs.

Proper shaving techniques and specific topical treatments can help manage pseudofolliculitis barbae.

This study shows that differences in Hoxc gene expression in hair follicle mesenchyme along the body axis contribute to regional variations in mammalian hair growth.

This study identified five distinct natural scalp whorl patterns and noted that White males have more distinct whorls, whereas African Americans and women often display a diffusion pattern.

This article reviews literature on hair casts, shedding light on this rarely discussed hair disorder, along with a case report of a 5-year-old mistakenly treated for head lice.

This study found that 53% of Japanese women have straight hair while 47% have varying degrees of curved hair, with distinct structural differences observed in the internal makeup of curved hair fibers.

This study found that the wavy coat trait in Nakano cataract mice is polygenic, involving major and minor genes, and resembles human curly scalp hair associated with the PRSS53 gene alteration.

In this study, researchers reported a rare case of nevus comedonicus with hair growth in a 26-year-old male, challenging prior reports that affected lesions typically lack the capability to develop terminal hair.

In this case report, a 5-year-old boy presented with an itchy patch of hair loss in the frontotemporal region, with trichoscopy revealing specific hair shaft features, such as black dots and corkscrew hairs.

In this study, researchers created a mutant mouse lacking the first cut repeat in the Cux/CDP protein, resulting in curly vibrissae and wavy hair, supporting the role of Cux/CDP's DNA binding domains in gene regulation during development.

Trichoscopy is effective in diagnosing trichotillomania by showing specific hair patterns.

This study observed that hair casts, seen in girls with tightly drawn hairstyles, may result from local circulatory disturbances and scalp inflammation.

This study found that overexpressing the Hoxc13 gene in mice causes hair loss and a skin condition similar to ichthyosis, identifying several gene targets that may regulate hair growth.

This study constructed a single-cell atlas of hair follicle cells from yaks and taurine cattle, revealing that differences in WNT signaling within dermal papilla cells may be key to the yak's adaptation to cold environments on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

This abstract presents a clinical case of a woman with traction alopecia and discusses trichoscopic findings without reporting any new research results.

This study examined two cases of bubble hair deformity using light and electron microscopy, suggesting that trauma to the hair shaft may contribute to this condition.

This article discusses the condition telogen effluvium, a type of diffuse hair loss, in the context of potential post-COVID-19 pandemic occurrences, but reports no new research or clinical results.

This study explored a mother and daughter with loose anagen hair syndrome linked to wooly hair, identifying an intronic variant in the KRT71 gene that affects hair keratin splicing, thus broadening the spectrum of KRT71-related disorders.

This study suggests that acquired progressive kinking of hair, which typically appears at or after puberty, may be androgen dependent and could progress to male pattern baldness.

This case report describes a 15-year-old Japanese girl with juvenile hypothyroidism who developed hypertrichosis and hyperkeratosis due to a keratin plug inhibiting hair growth on her back and arms.

This article reviews uncombable hair syndrome, highlighting its symptoms, potential diagnosis methods, and the suggestion for biotin supplements, but it reports no new empirical results.

This study examined the formation of acquired curved hair and found that the fusion of hair matrix cells during follicle regeneration contributes to asymmetric follicle shapes and curved hair, potentially linked to changes in type IV collagen and protein expression levels.
