90-120 / 1000+ resultsresearch Editor's Evaluation: Complementary Evolution of Coding and Noncoding Sequence Underlies Mammalian Hairlessness
Hairlessness in mammals is due to complex genetic changes in both genes and regulatory regions.
research A Novel Mutation in Hr Causes Abnormal Hair Follicle Morphogenesis in Hairpoor Mouse, an Animal Model for Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis
A new mutation in the Hr gene causes hair loss in mice, similar to a human hair disorder.
research Mechanism of Apoptotic Regulation of Follicular Regression
The document concludes that understanding how hair follicles naturally die and regenerate is important for insights into organ development and could impact health and disease treatment.
research A Mouse Model for the Basal Transcription and DNA Repair Syndrome Trichothiodystrophy
Researchers created a mouse with the same mutation as humans with trichothiodystrophy, showing similar symptoms and confirming the condition is due to defects in DNA repair and gene activity.
research Dermoscopy for the Pediatric Dermatologist Part I: Dermoscopy of Pediatric Infectious and Inflammatory Skin Lesions and Hair Disorders
Dermoscopy improves diagnosis and treatment monitoring for children's skin infections, inflammations, and hair disorders.
research Mouse Models for the Study of Human Hair Loss
Mice are useful for researching human hair loss and testing treatments, despite some differences between species.
research Pathologic Diagnosis of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia on Horizontal Sections
Horizontal sections of scalp biopsies are good for diagnosing Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia and help customize treatment.
research Deciphering Principles of Morphogenesis from Temporal and Spatial Patterns on the Integument
The conclusion is that skin and hair patterns are formed by a mix of cell activities, molecular signals, and environmental factors.
research An Epistatic Effect of KRT25 on SP6 Is Involved in Curly Coat in Horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.
research Acquired Progressive Kinking of the Hair in a Prepubertal Boy
A 10-year-old boy had the earliest reported case of hair that became progressively kinkier but eventually returned to normal on its own.
research Acquired Constriction Ring Syndrome as a Cause of Inconsolable Crying in a Child: A Case Report
A hair tightly wrapped around a toddler's toe caused severe crying and was treated by surgery.
research Spatial Transcriptomics of a Giant Pilomatricoma
The analysis of a large pilomatricoma revealed five distinct areas with different gene activity related to hair growth and tumor development.
research A Missense Mutation in Lama3 Causes Androgen Alopecia
A gene mutation in Lama3 is linked to a common type of hair loss.
research Development of Woolly Hair and Hairlessness in a CRISPR-Engineered Mutant Mouse Model with KRT71 Mutations
Researchers made a mouse model with curly hair and hair loss by editing a gene.
