research Anatomy and Physiology of Hair
Hair is important for protection, social interaction, and temperature control, and is made of a growth cycle-influenced follicle and a complex shaft.
research Micronutrients in Hair Loss
Some vitamins and minerals are important for preventing hair loss, but treating hair loss with them without a known deficiency is not proven effective.
research The Role of Micronutrients in Young Men Presenting with Hair Loss
Many young men with hair loss have low levels of vitamin D and B12.
research Loss-Of-Function Mutations of an Inhibitory Upstream ORF in the Human Hairless Transcript Cause Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis
Certain mutations in a hair growth-related gene cause a type of genetic hair loss.
research A Distinct Gene Close to the Hairless Locus on Chromosome 8p Underlies Hereditary Marie Unna Type Hypotrichosis in a German Family
A different gene near the hairless gene on chromosome 8p21 causes a rare hair loss condition in a German family.
research Unveiling the Roots of Monogenic Genodermatoses: Genotrichoses as a Paradigm
New gene identification techniques have improved the understanding and classification of inherited hair disorders.
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 Identification of a Recurrent Nonsense Mutation in HR Gene Responsible for Atrichia with Papular Lesions in Two Kashmiri Families
A mutation in the HR gene causes a rare form of irreversible hair loss in two Kashmiri families. Whole exome sequencing is effective for finding such mutations.

research Androgenetic Alopecia: In Vivo Models
Stump-tailed macaque best for researching hair loss causes and treatments.
research Differential Diagnosis of Hair Loss in Children
The document concludes that early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for children with hair loss to prevent permanent damage, although not all conditions can be effectively treated.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research Atrichia Caused by Mutations in the Vitamin D Receptor Gene Is a Phenocopy of Generalized Atrichia Caused by Mutations in the Hairless Gene
Mutations in the Vitamin D receptor gene can cause hair loss similar to mutations in the Hairless gene.
research Identification of a Novel Heterozygous Mutation in the First Japanese Case of Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis
Researchers found a new genetic mutation causing a rare hair loss condition in the first Japanese child studied.

Histone demethylases play a key role in the development of many diseases and may be targets for treatment.
research Alopecia Areata in a Rhesus Monkey (Macaca Mulatta)
The monkey's hair loss was due to an autoimmune disease, not genetics.
research Animal Models of Alopecia
The best animal model for studying male-pattern baldness is the stumptailed macaque, not rats or mice.
