research Keratin 71 Mutations: From Water Dogs to Woolly Hair
A mutation in the KRT71 gene causes a hair disorder by disrupting hair follicle structure and texture.
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 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 Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Towards a Molecular Understanding of Hair Loss and Its Treatment
Future hair loss treatments should aim to extend hair growth, reactivate resting follicles, reverse shrinkage, and possibly create new follicles, with gene therapy showing promise.
research Molecular Biology of Hair Morphogenesis: Development and Cycling
Understanding hair growth involves complex interactions between molecules and could help treat hair disorders.
research Hedgehog Stimulates Hair Follicle Neogenesis by Creating Inductive Dermis During Murine Skin Wound Healing
The Sonic hedgehog pathway is crucial for new hair growth during mouse skin healing.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
research Unraveling the Molecular Mechanisms of Hair and Nail Genodermatoses
Genetic discoveries are key for understanding, diagnosing, and treating inherited hair and nail disorders.
research Regeneration of Hair Follicles Is Modulated by Flightless I (Flii) in a Rodent Vibrissa Model
Flightless I protein affects hair growth, with low levels delaying it and high levels increasing hair length in rodents.
research Regeneration of Hair and Other Skin Appendages: A Microenvironment-Centric View
The microenvironment, especially mechanical forces, plays a crucial role in hair growth and could lead to new treatments for hair loss.
research How Different Is Human Hair? A Critical Appraisal of Global Hair Fibre Characteristics and Properties Towards Defining a More Relevant Framework for Hair Type Classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research P63 Targeted Deletion Under the FOXN1 Promoter Disrupts Pre- and Post-Natal Thymus Development, Function, and Maintenance, and Induces Severe Hair Loss
Deleting the p63 gene in certain cells causes problems in thymus development and severe hair loss in mice.
research Current Genetics in Hair Diseases
Genetic mutations cause various hair diseases, and whole genome sequencing may reveal more about these conditions.
research Hair Growth Promoting Effect and Action Mechanism of Chrysanthemum Zawadskii Extract
Chrysanthemum zawadskii extract may help treat hair loss by promoting hair growth and affecting growth factors.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research The Impact of Oxidative Stress on Hair
Oxidative stress damages hair and contributes to aging, and managing it can help maintain hair health.
research Inherited Disorders of the Hair
The document explains the genetic causes and characteristics of inherited hair disorders.
research Specific Citrullination Causes Assembly of a Globular S100A3 Homotetramer
A specific chemical change in the S100A3 protein leads to the formation of a four-part structure important for hair formation.
research Identification of a Preferred Substrate Peptide for Transglutaminase 3 and Detection of In Situ Activity in Skin and Hair Follicles
The study found a specific peptide that helps detect TGase 3 activity in skin and hair follicles.
research Temporal Layering of Signaling Effectors Drives Chromatin Remodeling During Hair Follicle Stem Cell Lineage Progression
Different signals work together to change gene activity and guide hair follicle stem cells to become specific cell types.
research Alopecia Areata: Gene Expression in Skin Samples from Patients

research Genetic Basis of Skin Appendage Development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Effect of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone on Apoptosis in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.
research Histogenesis of Keratoacanthoma: Histochemical and Immunohistochemical Study
