This study found that trichothiodystrophic hair shows reduced and disoriented protein deposition in follicles, with both the cuticle and cortex affected, providing localized structural insights into keratin abnormalities.

This study suggests that specific combinations of human type I and II hair keratins, particularly K35-K85 and K36-K81, have distinct in vitro assembly properties that are significant for macrofibril formation.

This article describes a new method for staining hair fibers that visualizes keratin filaments without the need for OsO4 fixation or sulfur bond breakage, but it provides no new experimental results beyond the method itself.

This study found that mu-crystallin gene expression in mouse skin is highest during the anagen phase of hair development, suggesting its possible role in hair follicle growth.

This study suggests that a specific short sequence repeat in Malassezia restricta may be linked to increased colonization and the development or exacerbation of androgenetic alopecia.

This study reports a highly sensitive MEMS silicon-hair device that mimics hair follicle functions by detecting minimal forces and moments, including electrostatic attraction and surface tension of liquids.

This study found that Mf-rich-fiber in human hair underwent significantly greater degradation by proteases than Ma-rich-fiber, especially when treated with Proteinase K.

This study suggests that analyzing the composition and modifications of hair proteins may provide new biomarkers for assessing hair health, diseases, and aging.

This study demonstrated that a single multimode fiber can be used for single-shot wide-field reflectance imaging, achieving high correlation with the ground truth and enabling real-time microendoscopy at up to 180 frames per second.

This study found that the cytoplasmic dynein component Dynlt3 is essential for effective melanosome transport and transfer in mouse melanocytes, linking melanosome positioning and acidity to the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This study suggests that human trichohyalin may function as a flexible rod linking keratin intermediate filaments and as a scaffold protein in hair follicle and epidermis cell envelopes.

This study found that electroosmotic flow through hair follicles significantly contributes to solution flow during iontophoresis in hairless mouse skin.

In this exploratory in vitro study, treatment with spermidine increased cell viability and altered gene expression in human epidermal keratinocytes, suggesting potential benefits to cellular health and function, though effects on mitochondrial markers were not significant.

This study generated a transcriptomic map of human hair follicles, identifying compartment-specific gene expression profiles that can aid in developing targeted therapies for hair follicle disorders.

In this study, researchers identified key miRNAs and target genes involved in hair follicle development in Merino sheep, providing insights that could aid in improving sheep breeding for wool quality.

This study examined vicuña skin and hair follicle structures, finding a high density of secondary hairs in fleece areas compared to belly and legs, and identified various types of cutaneous glands potentially important for chemical communication.

This study explored the fungal diversity on human scalps, identifying 15 genera and 24 species from 18 scalp samples of girls, with yeast-like structures found in 33.3% of cases. Additionally, zinc oxide nanoparticles, synthesized using ginger extract, showed significant antifungal activity against specific species.

This study found that the MsPG3-GFP fusion protein accumulates at the growing root hair tips in Medicago plants, suggesting its role in tip growth during symbiosis.

This study reports that pulsed biomagnetic fields may play a role in the deformation of red blood cells by facilitating cross-talk between RBCs and human hairs in vitro.

This study suggests that corkscrew hairs in tinea capitis result from internal hair damage by Trichophyton violaceum and external resistance from scalp scales.

UV-enhanced trichoscopy helps diagnose hair shaft disorders like pili annulati.

This review discusses micro-segmental hair analysis for forensic toxicology, emphasizing its potential to provide detailed drug distribution profiles and its application in investigations, while noting the method's limitations and future perspectives.

This study found that SYP123 and VAMP727 are involved in the secretion and transport of inner cell wall components, which is crucial for hardening the root hair shank in Arabidopsis.

This study describes a method for isolating stem cells and keratinocytes from mouse hair follicles using FACS technology, facilitating the study of stem cell biology.

This review explores the potential of targeted topical drug delivery to hair follicles for treating conditions like acne and hair loss but reports no clinical results, emphasizing the need for more research.

This study found that comma hairs are a distinctive feature of tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis, distinguishing it from alopecia areata, which is characterized by exclamation mark hairs.

This study reported that a novel chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol nanofiber sponge effectively enhances the hair follicle-inducing ability of dermal papilla multicellular spheroids in a mouse model.

This study found that epidermal stem cells in nonglabrous skin are connected to the distal end of the arrector pili muscle, which may play a role in epidermal renewal and wound healing.
