This study explored how chronic hair pulling behavior serves as a coping mechanism among African American women, particularly through the lens of eroticism, but reports on narratives rather than clinical results.

This case report describes three patients with Netherton syndrome who experienced growth hormone deficiency and improved growth rates following growth hormone therapy.

This study found that rabbit skin histology revealed changes in collagen and elastic fibers after soaking, dehairing, and tanning processes, impacting fiber tightness and fur removal.

This study introduces the N-K Healing Series, an alternative geometric approach to medicine, claimed to restore tissue fully and eliminate pain without the traditional drawbacks, allegedly achieving results beyond mainstream medical treatments in simulated injury scenarios.

This case study reports that a patient receiving Bojungikki-tang alongside chemotherapy showed improvement in hair loss despite ongoing treatment, suggesting a potential benefit for chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This study found that genes in the human keratin-associated protein 1 family may have evolved mainly through gene duplication of cysteine-repeat motifs.

Frequent hairdryer use may worsen hair fragility in people with Pili Annulati.

This case report describes a 23-year-old woman who experienced hair breakage along her anterior hairline due to the formation of bubbles in the hair shafts from blow-drying techniques.

This article describes Adamson's fringe and its role in Tinea capitis, incorporating historical context and Kligman's validation of Adamson's observations, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers observed distinct morphological differences in hair follicles of mutant mouse genotypes, influenced by the expression levels of keratin2-6g, which is essential for proper hair follicle development.

Gene expression in wool follicles changes with growth cycles, offering insights into wool and human hair growth.

This article discusses a novel mutation in the FERMT1 gene identified in a Spanish family with Kindler’s syndrome but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes an 18-year-old man with pili annulati, characterized by a "shagreened" appearance of the hair shaft with alternate bright and dark bands and wide holes throughout the cortex.

Excision and laser techniques can effectively treat acne keloidalis nuchae.

This study shows that microdiffraction experiments reveal structural layers in keratinous tissues, each with different keratin types, potentially explaining their dual role as mechanical support and chemical barriers.

In this study, researchers used three-dimensional reconstruction to show that the shape of the hair follicle determines the hair's form, with variations observed among different racial groups.

This study reports the cloning and expression details of two new human type II keratins, K6irs3 and K6irs4, in the hair follicle's inner root sheath, suggesting a distinct functional role related to hair structure.

This study found that while Eda and Edar proteins interact in vitro, their roles in dental development differ, with downless mutant mice showing distinct tooth defects compared to tabby mutants.

This study suggests an association between glyoxylic acid-containing hair-straightening treatments and acute kidney injury in young women, with urine calcium oxalate crystals observed in some cases, indicating potential nephrotoxicity. Early treatment with thiamine and pyridoxine may mitigate the severity of kidney damage.

In this study, researchers identified a novel congenital skin disorder in Chesapeake Bay retrievers, linked to a plakophilin-1 deficiency due to a genetic mutation, marking the first known occurrence in an animal species.

This report describes a unique anatomical case featuring a detailed formation of a periaortic venous ring in an organic sample.

This study found that keratin 19, unlike keratin 14, forms less stable filaments with keratin 5, suggesting distinct assembly properties and potential unique roles in skin basal cells.

This article proposes a hypothesis that KRT75, a protein found in hair follicles, was evolutionarily co-opted by ameloblasts during the development of prismatic enamel in synapsids, but reports no new results.

This study demonstrated that using chelants like N , N ′ ‐ethylenediamine disuccinic acid in hair coloring products can significantly reduce keratin fiber damage by preventing the formation of metal-induced free radicals.

In this study, researchers found that the cornification process in the nuptial pads of Xenopus frogs involves the expression of the type II hair keratin homolog, krt59, and is regulated by the transcription factor hoxc13, showing similarities to mammalian hair evolution.
