This study found that torsional measurements can effectively distinguish the effects of hair care products on the cuticle versus the cortex of hair fibers, unlike tensile measurements.

This study describes trichilemmal keratinization as a distinct process of hair follicle keratinization that occurs in specific areas of the outer root sheath, illustrated using electron microscopy on dog hair.

This study found that real-time 2-D Doppler echo of intracardiac blood flow helps evaluate myocardial infarction severity, with persistent late systolic inflow indicating worse left ventricular function.

This study found that the KrasG12D mutation alters ERK signal dynamics in hair follicle stem cells, leading to tissue deformation, and suggests a collective effect of mutant cells is necessary for disruption.

This study reports that mutations in the SUR2 gene are linked to Cantu syndrome, highlighting the role of KATP channels in cardiovascular health and potential new therapies.

This study found that mutations in certain keratin genes significantly affect wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting these genes could be important for sheep breeding to improve wool quality.

This study observed that hair casts, seen in girls with tightly drawn hairstyles, may result from local circulatory disturbances and scalp inflammation.

This study suggests that minoxidil sulfate and pinacidil do not activate K channel currents in hair follicles, indicating their hair growth effects may occur through other mechanisms like increased blood flow.

In this study, researchers mapped cysteine accessibility in wool keratins and KAPs, revealing that certain cysteines in keratin end domains and Types I and II rod domains are accessible and likely involved in forming disulfide bonds.

This study developed a new method to analyze Cantú syndrome mutations in KATP channels, finding that while Kir6.1 mutations increase sensitivity to potassium channel openers, SUR2B mutations show reduced sensitivity, but both result in marked hyperpolarization compared to wild-type channels under basal conditions.

This case study reported that a 15-year-old female developed acquired localized trichorrhexis nodosa, a hair shaft disorder, due to vigorous rubbing of an herbal powder on her scalp as part of local cultural practices.

This study developed a model showing that keratin elasticity in skin may be influenced by electrostatic and bridging interactions between keratin filaments, contingent on the balance of charges in the surrounding medium.

This study reports that in vitro experiments suggest biomagnetic cross-talk between red blood cells and human hairs as a potential factor influencing RBC deformation.

In this case report, a patient with end stage renal disease and sickle cell trait experienced recurrent priapism episodes after starting oral minoxidil for hypertension, which resolved after discontinuing the medication, suggesting minoxidil as a potential trigger in susceptible individuals.

This study identified numerous size polymorphisms in the human ultrahigh sulfur KAP4 genes due to intragenic sequence variations, suggesting these polymorphisms may have arisen through deletions and duplications during evolution.

This study observed defects in hair cuticle cross-linking in some, but not all, mouse mutants with sparse or structurally unsound hair.

This study found that disrupting the microtubule cytoskeleton in Arabidopsis root hairs caused loss of growth directionality and suggested microtubules interact with calcium gradients to regulate apical growth stability.

This study found that examining hair morphology provides deeper insights than classification, suggesting a potential population stratification artefact between hair curvature and cross-sectional shapes in the examined admixed African-European sample.

This study describes a novel hairless mutant rat strain, F344-Hr(krh), developed via ENU mutagenesis, which provides a model for skin disease and potentially focal glomerulosclerosis due to specific genetic mutations.

This case report describes two patients with a likely new type of pachyonychia, characterized by nail thickening and severe generalized hypotrichosis, possibly linked to a mutation in a hard keratin.

In this study, significant differences in the expression of type I IRS keratin genes were observed in the groins of three sheep breeds during wool growth, related to hair follicle density.

This case report describes a unique occurrence of plica polonica in a lung adenocarcinoma patient on chemotherapy, linked to anagen effluvium from paclitaxel and carboplatin and uncustomary shampoo use.

This study found that disulfide bonds in keratin increase its strength and toughness, with some loss of α-helical structure under load, highlighting their role in trichocyte α-keratin's mechanical properties.

This research describes methods to analyze the mechanical properties and fracture characteristics of hair across different types and ages, using specialized tensile testing and imaging techniques, without reporting new results.

This case study reports that selenium shampoo, bacterial infection with trichomycosis axillaris, and possibly strongyloides larvae may have contributed to acquired hair shaft abnormalities resembling trichorrhexis nodosa in two patients.

This study reports that in vitro experiments suggest a new biomagnetic cross-talk between red blood cells and human hair could be a factor in red blood cell deformation.

This study observed that human hair macrofibrils predominantly exhibit a double-twist architecture with varying inter-macrofibril angles, advancing insights into their structural organization and mechanical implications.

This study used micro-CT to visualize preputial vessel distribution in a congenital hypospadias rat model, revealing that vessels at the preputial junction with good circulation were well-suited for vascular pedicle flaps in surgery.
