research Genetics of Structural Hair Disorders
The document concludes that over 500 genes are linked to hair disorders and this knowledge is important for creating new treatments.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Light Microscopic Hair Abnormalities in Children: Retrospective Review of 119 Cases in a 10-Year Period
Over half of the children had abnormal hair under a microscope, with many having genetic hair conditions.
research Isolation and Quantification of Glycosaminoglycans from Human Hair Shaft
Human hair contains more glycosaminoglycans in children than adults, and these compounds decrease with age, possibly affecting hair thickness.
research A Guide for Building Biological Pathways with Two Case Studies: Hair and Breast Development
The document explains how to create detailed biological pathways using genomic data and tools, with examples of hair and breast development.
research Cyclical Dermal Micro-Niche Switching Governs the Morphological Infradian Rhythm of Mouse Zigzag Hair
Mouse zigzag hair bends form due to a 3-day cycle of changes in hair progenitors and their environment.
research Ancient Lineages of the Keratin-Associated Protein (KRTAP) Genes and Their Co-option in the Evolution of the Hair Follicle
Keratin-associated proteins have ancient origins and were used for different purposes before being adapted for hair in mammals.
research 28 Hair Restoration
