This study observed that applying a pulling force to hair follicles led to significant compression of nuclei in certain cell layers and distinct collagen changes at different follicle depths.

This article discusses the pseudo 'fringe sign' in frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting that it is not solely related to traction, and it reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that hair cuticles experience greater water-induced plasticization than hair cortex, affecting the torsional rigidity of hair fibers, which may help predict hair setting behavior.

This study found that the dermal sheath smooth muscle regulates hair follicle progenitor cell death during hair regression through mechanical signaling of the TGF-β pathway.

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 hair implant needles with longer point lengths and smaller bevel angles required less total work for insertion, which corresponded with surgeons' perceptions of insertion force differences.

This study explores torsional measurements of single hair fibers to differentiate the effects of cosmetic treatments on hair structure, highlighting their potential to reveal shear stiffness changes related to cuticle damage.

This study observed that in live rodents, actin filaments adjust their structure to facilitate membrane transfer between cellular compartments; linear filaments stabilize fused membranes, while branched filaments, connected by the protein Ezrin, drive integration, demonstrating actin's role in adapting to membrane biophysical changes.

This study introduces a new test using a pendulum device to assess the bending stiffness of hair fibers, which can evaluate the effects of different hair treatments.

This study found that human C-tactile afferents respond to hair deflection, suggesting a functionally relevant anatomical relationship to hair follicles similar to that observed in mice.

In this hospital-based observational study involving 30 participants, researchers found no statistically significant difference in the force needed to pluck anagen versus telogen hair in the frontal and occipital scalp regions of women with female pattern hair loss.

This study proposes that the terminal tuft structure in sensory nerve endings, involving Schwann cell processes and axon fingers, potentially plays a role in mechano-electric transduction in rats.

Temporal triangular alopecia is a lifelong condition with hairless patches on the side of the head that may be present from birth.

Traction alopecia is hair loss from pulling on hair too much.

This article discusses the importance of understanding hair direction and angulation in hair restoration but reports no new experimental findings.

This study demonstrated that a metric based on rotational echo intensity in 2H magic-angle spinning NMR can derive kinetic information for conformational exchange without complex modelling, achieving activation barriers consistent with prior findings.

This study presents additional data suggesting that the absence of nerve endings in certain segments of human hair follicles influences the asymmetrical distribution of electrical charges, as indicated by no precipitation of Potassium Ferricyanide crystals.

This study reports a good correlation between the curvature of human eyelashes and the displacement of the neutral axis, influenced by the non-uniform thickness of the outer cuticle layer.

The study found that the Marangoni effect causes the uneven wetting of surfactant-coated hair due to the surfactant moving into the water.

This case report documents a rare instance of triangular temporal alopecia in an adult woman, emphasizing the importance of correct diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatments, and reviews the literature on TTA.

This chapter reviews traction alopecia, discusses its clinical presentation and severity grading, and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight controversies in its treatment and prevention strategies.

Hair treatments like bleaching increase friction by exposing tiny pores on the hair surface.

The LTF gene may help predict and manage nonspecific orbital inflammation.

This study proposed that the tiger tail phenomenon in trichothiodystrophy hair is caused by regular undulations of hair fibers, altering the optical properties seen under polarized light.

This study found that the tensile strength of curly hair is influenced by two main components, with springiness (toe region) contributing significantly, unlike in noncurly hair where it is negligible.

This study describes a new radiation method called three-dimensional moving field radiation therapy, which showed improved tumor targeting and reduced damage to surrounding tissues compared to traditional one-plane methods.

In this study, exosome-like nanoparticles derived from rose stem cell culture were found to enhance skin quality by increasing collagen production, reducing melanin and inflammation, and promoting cell migration in vitro, suggesting potential aesthetic applications.

This article discusses traction alopecia in children and adolescents, emphasizing its occurrence due to hairstyles that exert chronic tension on hair, but reports no new findings.

This review discusses the causes and diagnosis of traction alopecia, emphasizing education for high-risk populations as there is currently no cure, and presents no new clinical findings.
