In this study, researchers found that neonate hairs have a distinct microstructure with no medulla and smaller hair follicles compared to adult hairs.

This study observed distinct changes in the ultrastructure of Hexi cashmere goat hair follicles throughout the year, highlighting stages with specific cellular and structural characteristics.

In this study, researchers observed that trichocytic and epithelial cytokeratins have distinct expression patterns within various human and bovine hair follicle cells, contributing to understanding hair follicle development and growth.

This study found that lineage-restricted loss of p63 in murine thymic epithelial cells resulted in severe thymic hypoplasia and absence of hair follicles, indicating p63's critical role in thymic and hair follicle development.

This study characterizes a type II keratin intermediate filament gene family involved in early sheep follicle differentiation, detailing gene expression patterns and sequences in hair cortical cells.

This review discusses the complex interaction between androgens and hair follicle biology, highlighting the need for a better understanding to improve hirsutism treatments, but reports no new results.

This study found that acid and alkaline phosphatases serve different functions in Beagle dog skin, with ALP primarily involved in growth processes and ACP in phospholipid breakdown.

In this study, researchers found that the expression of vimentin, desmin, and laminin in rat skin contributes to cell structure and tissue integrity, with varying reactions across different cell types.

This study found that wavy sinus hairs in cats were significantly associated with feline leukemia virus infection, suggesting this physical trait might be useful for identifying infected cats.

This study found that hair germ and epidermal basal cells differ in keratin expressions in rat hair tissues, with hair-specific keratins appearing after the differentiation of each layer.

This article discusses how drug molecules integrate into hair fibers, focusing on biological transport mechanisms and physicochemical factors, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that beard hair medulla cells express an unexpected range of keratins, showing variability and promiscuous behavior in keratin interactions distinct from other hair follicle cells.

This study found that fluconazole increased water transport in renal cells via effects on aquaporin-2 channels, suggesting potential as a treatment for nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, though clinical trials are needed to confirm efficacy in humans.

In this study, researchers found that papain-treated or mechanically altered Asian scalp hair fibers allowed for spontaneous ion movement and anthocyanin dye flow through the medulla tube, with dye flow enhanced by applied DC voltage.

This study identified that keratotic basal cell carcinomas with citrulline-positive keratin and hair papilla-like structures are highly differentiated, which helps distinguish them from squamous carcinomas.

This study identified that mouse MILL1 and MILL2 are glycoproteins distinct from human MICA/B, primarily due to their association with β2-microglobulin and TAP-independent surface expression.

This study suggests that trichohyalin is modified by peptidyl-arginine deiminase before being cross-linked by TGase 3, allowing the formation of rigid structures in hair follicle cells.

This paper reviews the complex anatomy and development of human hair and emphasizes the need to understand these processes for interpreting drug incorporation into hair, with no new clinical results reported.

This study observed that PAI-2 is consistently expressed in differentiating cells of murine hair and nail, suggesting it may function as a marker of differentiation and possibly protect against premature cell death.

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 over- and ectopic-expression of FoxN1 in early life negatively affected the development of thymic epithelial cells, T and B cells, and skin epithelial cells.

This study observed that PAD type III and trichohyalin are expressed earlier than their deiminated form during the first and second hair cycles in rat hair follicles, indicating a potential additional factor is involved in triggering deimination.

This study found that the hair of a 16th-century female mummy discovered in Paju was remarkably well-preserved due primarily to a calcium-based surface coating that likely inhibited moisture and microorganism infiltration.

This study found that soaking raw skin in a saturated lime solution led to widespread cellular dissolution and tissue changes that facilitate dehairing after 4 to 7 days at -18°C.

This review discusses the lipid composition of human hair across ethnic types, effects of damage on lipid content, and associated changes with diseases, but reports no new findings; further research is needed.

This report describes several cases of pili annulati in children, highlighting its genetic predisposition and distinctive "zebra stripe" hair pattern, but notes no effective treatment is available.

This study found that the fuzzy mutation in mice is linked to both structural hair defects and accelerated hair follicle cycling, influencing the regulation of hair cycle phases such as catagen and anagen.

This study found that hair membrane fluidity is low in the cuticle but high in the cortex and medulla, with treatments like ionic surfactants and oleic acid increasing fluidity in hydrated hair; however, dehydration significantly reduces fluidity throughout the hair.

S100A8 and S100A9 proteins help form hair shafts during growth.

This study detailed the structure and amino acid composition of sheep trichohyalin, noting its presence in various tissues and suggesting a possible functional role beyond structural support in hair follicles.
