October 2017 in “ecancermedicalscience” This study observed that the molecular structure of keratins in hair fibres' discrete transition zone differs in breast cancer patients, with altered lipid ester absorption bands reverting post-cancer removal.
March 2024 in “medRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that faster algorithms for inferring ancestry in genomic data can better capture historical and functional insights into genome variation than traditional methods in large datasets like the UK Biobank.
February 2024 in “Frontiers in physiology” This study examines the role of hair follicle stem cells in epidermal regeneration during skin soft tissue expansion, proposing a potential method for their cellular and molecular regulation.
August 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that maintaining a low level of Wnt/β-catenin activity is crucial for mammary gland development, as excessive activity inhibits branching and promotes characteristics of hair follicles instead, highlighting its role in skin appendage identity decisions.
December 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that inducing miR-205 reduces actin contractility and stiffness in hair follicle stem cells and progenitors, stimulating hair regeneration in both young and old mice.
January 2020 in “Research Portal Denmark” This study concludes that anti-androgenic chemicals causing short anogenital distance in male fetuses also induce a feminized transcriptional profile in the perineum, implicating Wnt and estrogen signaling in the process.
April 2014 in “Jurnal Biomedik : JBM” This case report diagnosed an 8-year-old girl with trachyonychia and secondary onychomycosis, finding that spontaneous improvement is common, making specific therapy often unnecessary despite treatment challenges with associated fungal infections.
January 2012 in “Durham e-Theses (Durham University)” This study found that knock-down of keratin 15 in various cell lines affected cell spreading, morphology, migration, differentiation, and proliferation, suggesting its role in maintaining the stem cell nature of keratinocytes.
September 2025 in “AESTHETIC OROFACIAL SCIENCE” This study found that polidioxanona threads increased hair density and satisfaction in treating various types of alopecia, with no adverse events reported, though the small sample limits broader conclusions.
8 citations
,
November 2022 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” This review discusses the limitations of current hair classification systems and highlights the need for standardized reporting of key hair characteristics to improve study comparisons; it reports no new results.
This study identified new geometric and mechanical parameters for curly and kinky/coily hair, which may inform more effective personal care products tailored to these hair types.
This study used quantitative methods to identify new geometric and mechanical parameters of curly and kinky/coily hair, aiming to improve classification and develop better personal care products for these hair types.
This study demonstrated that cryogelation of human hair keratin allows the development of 3D scaffolds with tunable properties, supporting cell adhesion and proliferation for potential biomedical applications.
555 citations
,
July 2001 in “Genes & Development” This study found that Tcf3 and Lef1 differently regulate cell differentiation in multipotent skin stem cells, with Tcf3 promoting follicle-like features and Lef1, when modified, promoting sebocyte differentiation.
