research Experimental Confirmation of a Distinctive Diffraction Pattern in Hair From Women With Breast Cancer
A specific hair diffraction pattern may indicate breast cancer if tested with the correct method.
research A Study of the Soluble Proteins of Normal and Pathologic Horny Tissues by a Modified Disc Electrophoresis Technique
Pathologic tissues have more soluble proteins than normal tissues.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Cosmetic procedures can harm hair, but damage can be minimized with knowledge and care; however, once hair is damaged, it cannot be reliably repaired.
research Hair Follicle Culture
Hair follicle culture helps study hair growth but has limitations in modeling the full hair cycle.
research Electron Microscope Studies of Hair and Wool
Hair and wool have complex microscopic structures with microfibrils and varying cystine content.
research Extracellular Vesicles Derived from MSCs Activate Dermal Papilla Cells In Vitro and Promote Hair Follicle Conversion from Telogen to Anagen in Mice
Tiny particles from stem cells help activate hair growth cells and encourage hair growth in mice without being toxic.
research Effects of the Lexington LaserComb on Hair Regrowth in the C3H/HeJ Mouse Model of Alopecia Areata
The Lexington LaserComb helped regrow hair in mice with a condition similar to human hair loss.
research Degradation Of Human Hair By Papain
Papain and bisulfite break down human hair by dissolving parts of it.
research Human Hair Follicle Regeneration Following Amputation and Grafting into the Nude Mouse
Human hair follicles can regenerate after removal, but with low success rate.
research Exosomal MicroRNAs Derived from Dermal Papilla Cells Mediate Hair Follicle Stem Cell Proliferation and Differentiation
Exosomes from dermal papilla cells help hair growth by making hair follicle stem cells multiply and change.
research Plasticity and Cytokinetic Dynamics of the Hair Follicle Mesenchyme During the Hair Growth Cycle: Implications for Growth Control and Hair Follicle Transformations
Disruptions in hair follicle fibroblast dynamics can cause hair growth problems.
research Controllable Production of Transplantable Adult Human High-Passage Dermal Papilla Spheroids Using 3D Matrigel Culture
Researchers created hair-inducing human cell clusters using a 3D culture method.
research FGFR2 Is Associated With Hair Thickness In Asian Populations
A gene variation is linked to hair thickness in Asians.
research Validation of TrichoScan Technology as a Fully-Automated Tool for Evaluation of Hair Growth Parameters
TrichoScan® is a reliable tool for measuring hair growth, providing quicker and more consistent results than manual methods.
research Fractography of Human Hair
Moisture content significantly affects how human hair breaks.
research Hair Biology
The document explains hair biology, the causes of hair loss, and reviews various hair loss treatments.
research Trichoscan: What Is New?
Trichoscan is a reliable method for measuring hair growth and monitoring treatment effectiveness in hair loss.
research Fibromodulin Deficiency Alters Temporospatial Expression Patterns of Transforming Growth Factor-β Ligands and Receptors During Adult Mouse Skin Wound Healing
Mice lacking fibromodulin have disrupted healing patterns, leading to abnormal skin repair and scarring.
research Hair Removal Using an Nd:YAG Laser System
Nd:YAG laser can reduce hair with multiple treatments, but permanent removal isn't guaranteed.
research Scalp Immersion Proxigraphy: An Improved Imaging Technique for Phototrichogram Analysis
SIP is a better method for measuring hair growth accurately.
research Structural Features of the Alpha-Type Filaments of the Inner Root Sheath Cells of the Guinea Pig Hair Follicle
α-type filaments in guinea pig hair follicles have unique structural features.
research Dermal Fibrosis in Male Pattern Hair Loss: A Suggestive Implication of Mast Cells
Mast cells might contribute to hair loss by causing skin thickening.
research Osteopontin Gene Is Expressed in the Dermal Papilla of Pelage Follicles in a Hair-Cycle-Dependent Manner
The osteopontin gene is active in a specific part of rat hair follicles during a certain hair growth phase and might affect hair cycle and diseases.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma Microneedling Versus 5% Topical Minoxidil in the Treatment of Patterned Hair Loss
Minoxidil works faster and is more cost-effective for treating hair loss, but platelet-rich plasma microneedling can be an alternative for those who can't use minoxidil.
research Curly Hair: Measured Differences and Contributions to Breakage
Curly hair breaks more easily, especially with chemical treatments, but simpler grooming reduces breakage.
research Characterization of Hair Lipid Images by Argon Sputter Etching-Scanning Electron Microscopy
Hair texture changes with age due to varying levels of lipids.
research Expression of an Olfactomedin-Related Gene in Rat Hair Follicular Papilla Cells
FP-1 is a key protein in rat hair growth, active only during the growth phase.
research Structure of Intermediate Filament Assembly in Hair Deduced from Hydration Studies Using Small-Angle Neutron Scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research External Lipid Function in Ethnic Hairs
African hair has the most lipids, while Caucasian hair is more hydrated and stronger.
