This study found that ribbed hairs on tarantulas closely resemble chemoreceptors rather than silk-producing spigots, with no silk observed emitting from them under microscopy.

This study found that keratin-associated proteins form part of the developing exocuticle and a-layer in hair fiber cuticle cells, while cornified envelope proteins were absent.

This study found that SK2 channels in sensory terminals of rat muscle spindles and hair follicles may play a crucial role in modulating mechanosensory transduction by influencing receptor potentials through Ca2+-activated K+ currents.

This study found that the gene BSSP, a serine protease, is predominantly expressed in sebaceous glands and is overexpressed in nude mouse skin.

This study found that keratin and other hair proteins in humans are extensively modified posttranslationally, which helps explain the structural characteristics of mature hair.

This study developed a personalized microneedle that delivers finasteride directly to the skin, facilitating a sustained release and potentially reducing side effects associated with oral administration.

Isolated patchy heterochromia with pili annulati can occur without other health issues.

This study found that postmortem root banding in hair is likely due to the degradation of the intermacrofibrillar matrix in the cortex, with no damage to the cuticle observed.

The Trichodysplasia spinulosa virus protein can cause abnormal hair growth in mice.

This study explored proteomics to investigate protein changes during protein synthesis and keratinization in maturing wool fiber, but the relationship to fibre development remains largely unknown.

In this study, trichostasis spinulosa was observed in 51 patients with lesions on the nose, where some follicles contained up to 86 hairs each, possibly influenced by endocrine factors and actinic rays.

Small white dots on the scalp seen with a dermoscope correspond to sweat ducts and vary with different hair disorders.

Hair follicles have unique proteins that vary by species and are influenced by nutrition.

This study found that cell spheres formed from mesenchymal cells in newborn mouse skin showed increased expression of genes associated with hair follicle regeneration, though marker distribution varied and requires further investigation.

This study found that small proline-rich proteins modify the biomechanical properties of cornified cell envelopes in rodent forestomachs, potentially affecting the tissue's ability to withstand mechanical stress.

This study found that 40 nm nanoparticles can effectively penetrate into hair follicles and epidermal Langerhans cells in human skin samples, potentially enabling efficient transcutaneous vaccine delivery.

The study observed that cell spheres formed from mesenchymal cells of newborn mice skin exhibited upregulation of markers linked to hair follicle regeneration, suggesting a potential hibernation-like state for maintaining viability.

This study reports the development of a MEMS silicon-hair device capable of detecting minute forces and moments, replicating the sensory functions of human hair follicles with high sensitivity.

This study found that in anagen hair follicles, the basement membrane zone components showed decreased expression in the lower hair bulb, with a complete absence of BP230 at the dermal papilla junction, suggesting an incomplete hemidesmosome structure in these regions.

This study developed a double-wavelength laser scanning microphotometer to measure hair shaft and follicle absorbance, improving spatial resolution and reducing light scattering effects in vitro.

This research found that the microtubule catastrophe factor KIF18B plays a crucial role in promoting spindle orientation in keratinocytes, linking this process to cell fate decisions during hair follicle morphogenesis.

In this study, researchers developed a three-dimensional ultrastructural analysis tool using serial block-face scanning electron microscopy to reveal detailed nerve networks and muscle structures in human skin tissues, demonstrating the technique's potential to study structural changes in aging or disease.

This study described the structure of the hair brush on male Endoclita vietnamensis moths' legs, identifying characteristics such as specialized scales and a pheromone gland, which could facilitate the future development of pheromone-based pest control methods for eucalyptus pests in China.

In this study, researchers used synchrotron X-ray imaging to examine rat vibrissa follicles, finding that despite variations in vibrissa length and follicle size, certain sensory structures remain consistent, suggesting specialized roles in sensory processing depending on the vibrissa type.

This study highlights confocal microscopy as a promising, minimally invasive tool for assessing hair morphology and internal structures, making it valuable for cosmetic hair assessments.

This study explores the physical properties of hair from various wild mammalian species using polarized light microscopy, aiming to correlate these properties with the internal structures such as the medulla, cortex, and keratin cuticle.

This study demonstrated that molecular dynamics simulations of keratin could effectively model the mechanical properties of hair, aligning well with experimental data, especially when conducted in vacuum conditions.
