research Human Hair Keratin-Associated Proteins
Hair keratin-associated proteins are essential for strong hair, with over 80 genes showing specific patterns and variations among people.
research Toe-Tourniquet Syndrome: A Diagnostic Dilemma
Hair or fiber wrapped tightly around a toe can lead to serious injury if not treated quickly.
research Fine Structure and Immunocytochemistry of Monotreme Hairs, with Emphasis on the Inner Root Sheath and Trichohyalin-Based Cornification During Hair Evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution in 16 African-Descent and Hispanic Female Patients: A Challenging Diagnosis
FAPD is a possible diagnosis for hair loss in patients of color and requires multiple evaluations for accurate diagnosis.
research Promotion Effect of Norgalanthamine, a Component of Crinum Asiaticum, on Hair Growth
Norgalanthamine from Crinum asiaticum may help hair grow.
research Structure and Hair Follicle-Specific Expression of Genes Encoding the Rat High Sulfur Protein B2 Family
The B2 genes are crucial for hair growth in rats.
research Characterization of Transport Systems for Cysteine, Lysine, Alanine, and Leucine in Wool Follicles of Sheep
Sheep wool follicles absorb different amino acids at various rates and locations, which could affect wool growth based on diet and genetics.
research Porosity at Different Structural Levels in Human and Yak Belly Hair and Its Effect on Hair Dyeing
Yak belly hair has higher porosity and is less stiff than human hair, making it absorb dye better but less suitable as a direct substitute for hair dyeing.
research Mapping Penetration of Cosmetic Compounds into Hair Fibers Using Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS)
Different oils penetrate hair differently; monounsaturated oils like olive oil penetrate better than polyunsaturated oils.
research Pediculosis
Scalp biopsies are important for diagnosing hair loss conditions.
research Wound Healing
Fine hairs improve male pattern baldness treatment, alopecia areata causes remain unknown, and hair can recover from dye damage over time.
research Light Scattering from Human Hair Fibers
Researchers developed a new model for more realistic computer graphics rendering of hair by considering how light scatters on hair fibers.
research Targeting the Wnt Pathways for Therapies
Blocking the Wnt pathway could lead to new treatments for cancer and tissue repair but requires careful development to avoid side effects.
research Keratin Disorders: From Gene to Therapy
New treatments targeting specific genes show promise for treating keratin disorders.
research Testosterone Supplementation for Aging-Associated Sarcopenia
Testosterone supplements can increase muscle mass and strength in older men with low levels, but long-term effects and risks need more research.
research Light Scattering from Human Hair Fibers
Researchers developed a new model for more realistic computer graphics of hair by considering how light scatters on hair fibers.
