research Specific Interpretation of Hair Concentrations in Two Fatal Metformin Intoxication Cases
Hair analysis showed very high metformin levels in two fatal overdose cases, suggesting it's useful in forensics but sweat may affect results.
research Structural Changes of Hair Shaft After Application of Chemical Hair Straighteners: Clinical and Histopathological Study
Chemical hair straightening improves smoothness and shine but may cause side effects, suggesting a need for safer methods.
research Hair Shaft miRNA-221 Levels as a New Tumor Marker of Malignant Melanoma
Hair shaft miR-221 levels can help detect malignant melanoma.
research The Vellus Index: A New Method of Assessing Hair Growth
The vellus index is a simple, quick, and reliable method to assess and monitor hair growth, especially in hirsutism.
research High-Throughput Phenotyping Methods for Quantifying Hair Fiber Morphology
The study developed high-throughput methods for quantifying hair fiber morphology, focusing on curvature and cross-sectional shape, using a new Python package called fibermorph. It involved 140 individuals of mixed African-European ancestry and found that correlations between hair curvature and cross-sectional shape were not significant when accounting for ancestry, suggesting these were due to population structure rather than genetic linkage. The research introduced a novel method using polycaprolactone plastic for embedding hair, improving scalability and accuracy. The study emphasized the importance of quantitative methods to avoid racial stereotyping in hair morphology studies and provided open-source tools for further research.

research Examining Polyquaternium Polymers Deposition on Human Excised Hair Fibers
Certain polymers can stick to hair and increase volume, working best at a pH of 7 to 9.
research Enzymatic Method for Assessing Hair Damage with Reduction and Subsequent Oxidation
Permed hair degrades faster and shows more damage after protease treatment compared to untreated hair.
research Topographical and Tribological Characteristics of Asian Human Hair Cuticles

research Hair and Scalp Variation Related to Gender
Gender affects hair and scalp characteristics, with differences in hormone responses, graying patterns, and trace metals.
research Effect of Fermented Mackerel Oil on Hair Growth
Fermented mackerel oil was found to promote hair growth by activating certain cell signals and increasing cell growth.
research Imaging of Photo-Damaged Hair with Differential Phase Scanning X-Ray Microscopy
Sunlight and chemical treatments change hair's internal structure differently, needing specific care.
research Maternal And Neonatal Hair Mercury Concentrations: The Effect Of Dental Amalgam
Mothers and newborns with dental fillings have higher mercury in their hair, but adding fillings during pregnancy doesn't raise mercury levels further.
research Assessment of Hair Density and Caliber in White and Asian Females With Female Pattern Hair Loss Using Folliscope
White females have higher hair density, while Asian females have thicker hair in hair loss cases.
research Hair as a Retrospective Calendar of Cortisol Production—Increased Cortisol Incorporation into Hair in the Third Trimester of Pregnancy
Hair cortisol levels can show increased stress during late pregnancy but only for up to six months.
research Treatment of Hair Loss
Finasteride and minoxidil are effective for hair loss, but continued research is needed for better treatments.
research Acidic and Basic Hair/Nail (Hard) Keratins: Their Colocalization in Upper Cortical and Cuticle Cells of the Human Hair Follicle and Their Relationship to Soft Keratins
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research WNT Signaling in the Control of Hair Growth and Structure
The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.
research Resting No More: Redefining Telogen, the Maintenance Stage of the Hair Growth Cycle
