research Perspectives of Alopecia Behind the Regulation of Foxn1 Gene Exposes the Human Nude Phenotype
The gene Foxn1 is important for hair growth, and understanding it may lead to new alopecia treatments.
research Ultrastructural Characteristics of Neonate Scalp Hair
Neonate scalp hair is thinner, lacks a medulla, and has smaller follicles compared to adult hair.
research Optical Coherence Tomography Examination of Hair
OCT can effectively examine and reveal details about human hair and scalp conditions.
research Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells

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 Melanogenesis Is Coupled to Murine Anagen: Toward New Concepts for the Role of Melanocytes and the Regulation of Melanogenesis in Hair Growth
Hair color production in mice is closely linked to the hair growth phase and may also influence hair growth itself.
research Electron Microscope Studies of Hair and Wool
Hair and wool have complex microscopic structures with microfibrils and varying cystine content.
research The Hair Cycle of the Mouse and Its Importance in the Study of Sequences of Experimental Carcinogenesis
Understanding the mouse hair cycle is crucial for cancer research.
research Melanogenesis Is Coupled to Murine Anagen: New Concepts for the Role of Melanocytes and Regulation of Melanogenesis in Hair Growth
Hair color production is closely linked to the active growth phase of hair in mice and may also influence hair growth itself.
research Suprabasal Desmoglein 3 Expression in the Epidermis of Transgenic Mice Results in Hyperproliferation and Abnormal Differentiation
Overexpressing Dsg3 in mice skin causes excessive cell growth and abnormal skin development.
research Cloning of Wrinkle-Free, a Previously Uncharacterized Mouse Mutation, Reveals Crucial Roles for Fatty Acid Transport Protein 4 in Skin and Hair Development
Fatty acid transport protein 4 is essential for skin and hair development.
research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Are Associated with Monilethrix-Like Congenital Hypotrichosis
Mutations in the DSG4 gene can cause a rare hair disorder similar to monilethrix.
research Human Hair Keratin-Associated Proteins
Hair keratin-associated proteins are essential for strong hair, with over 80 genes showing specific patterns and variations among people.
research Genetic Interplays Between Msx2 And Foxn1 Are Required For Notch1 Expression And Hair Shaft Differentiation
Msx2 and Foxn1 are both crucial for hair growth and health.

Genetics and hormones cause hair loss; finasteride treats it safely.
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 Hair Follicles, Their Disorders, and Their Opportunities
Hair follicles offer promising targets for delivering drugs to treat hair and skin conditions.
research The Novel Mechanisms and Applications of Exosomes in Dermatology and Cutaneous Medical Aesthetics
Exosomes can improve skin health and offer new treatments for skin repair and rejuvenation.
research A Discourse on Human Hair Fibers and Reflections on the Conservation of Drug Molecules
Hair analysis for drugs needs a better understanding of how drugs enter hair, considering factors like hair structure and pigmentation.
research Scalp Hair Characteristics in the Newborn Infant
Assessing newborn scalp hair can reveal important health information.
research Identification of Hair Shaft Progenitors That Create a Niche for Hair Pigmentation
Scientists found cells in hair that are key for growth and color.
research Characterization of Hair Follicle Development in Engineered Skin Substitutes
