24 citations
,
December 1957 in “Experimental Cell Research” This study observed that the glassy layer of hair follicles in guinea pigs consists of thick collagen-type fibrils organized into two distinct arrays, whereas in young mice, the fibrils are thinner and develop between the outer root sheath and fibroblasts.
89 citations
,
August 2008 in “Human genetics” This study found that the EDAR 1540T/C genetic variant is significantly associated with hair thickness variation in Japanese populations, enhancing previously observed associations in Southeast Asian groups.
10 citations
,
January 2012 in “Journal of biomedical optics” This study used ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography to observe hair shaft structures, finding melanin granules absent only in white hair, which may explain color differences between black and white hair.
5 citations
,
May 2025 in “Nature Communications” This study found that in mice, high-fat diets quickly reduce the skin's ability to transfer heat, while diets preventing obesity increase skin energy loss, suggesting the skin plays an active role in energy metabolism and lipid regulation.

,
October 2020 in “Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift” This paper presents a case study of a 21-year-old male with thyroid hemiagenesis, where the left thyroid lobe and isthmus are absent, and discusses the anomaly's potential clinical consequences based on existing literature.
January 2017 in “Medeniyet medical journal” This study observed that men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia had increased carotid intima-media thickness and insulin resistance, suggesting a potential link to premature atherosclerosis.
May 2025 in “Science Advances” In this study, researchers reported that hair follicle stem cells maintain quiescence through a PIEZO1-dependent mechanism that senses mechanical forces and translates them into localized calcium influx, involving a transcriptional network that regulates cell adhesion and cytoskeleton-related genes.
December 2024 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal” This study established reference values for trichoscopic parameters of hair density and thickness in healthy Indian males, providing a foundation for future research.

September 2017 in “Springer eBooks” Older East and Southeast Asian men need less hair density for hair restoration satisfaction, and natural hairline features should guide surgery plans.
9 citations
,
July 2018 in “Acta biomaterialia” 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.
76 citations
,
December 2006 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” This study observed that Japanese women experience diffuse central hair loss after age 40, characterized by reduced hair density and thicker hair ratio rather than vellus-like hairs.
4 citations
,
October 2012 in “Archives of Dermatology” Hair diameter diversity is a key sign for diagnosing and managing male pattern baldness.
1 citations
,
August 2024 in “Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery” In this observational study, hair density was found to vary with age, as measured in subjects from a dermatology outpatient department, with males showing a mean unit density of 104.78 and females 108.36.
December 2009 in “생명과학회지” This study found that thymosin β4 is highly expressed in multiple human tissues and may play a role in organ function and angiogenesis through co-localization with VEGF.
4 citations
,
March 2013 in “The American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery” This review discusses how hair follicle light sensitivity is linked to mesenchymal remodeling and suggests that this connection influences photoepilation outcomes and optimal treatment strategies, reporting no new clinical results.

12 citations
,
February 2006 in “Lipids” This study found that in Japanese, German, and American females, changes in hair lipid patterns with age may reflect alterations in sebum excretion and affect hair texture.
34 citations
