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.

In this study, researchers used synchrotron X-ray imaging to examine rat vibrissa follicles, finding that despite variations in vibrissa length and follicle size, certain sensory structures remain consistent, suggesting specialized roles in sensory processing depending on the vibrissa type.

This study reports that trichocyte intermediate filaments from rat vibrissae and human hair follicles may contain a hollow region at their core, suggesting unique structural properties.

Using synchrotron X-ray imaging, this study mapped the complex innervation of male rat vibrissa follicles, revealing distinct types of myelinated afferent neurons and patterns of axonal organization that may inform sensory processing in the brainstem.

This study examined developing hair cortex with electron microscopy and found that keratin fibrils form between specific regions in hair follicles and aggregate into twisted cables.

This study suggests that varying intersheet interactions may explain the differences between the two polymorphic forms of macrofibril assembly in Merino wool and hair.

This study describes the structural composition of the skin's dermis in experimental animals, highlighting the arrangement of collagen, elastic, and reticular fibers as well as associated glands and muscles.

This study found that the weak tensile strength of pili torti hair may result from loose keratin intermediate filaments due to abnormalities in disulfide bonds.

Capitate trichomes have more endoplasmic reticulum and vacuoles, while peltate trichomes have more plastids and larger subcuticular spaces.

This study detailed the structure and amino acid composition of sheep trichohyalin, noting its presence in various tissues and suggesting a possible functional role beyond structural support in hair follicles.

This study found that ossification in trichilemmal cysts may be more common than previously thought, often associated with cyst wall rupture, and reports a novel case of ossifying TC with extramedullary hematopoiesis.

This study highlighted the significant role of VSM in cochlear aging, suggesting that changes in its structure and composition may contribute to the development of various pathologies, including congenital hearing disorders, while also identifying the need for further research on VCM-associated molecules.

A teenager's hair with alternating white and dark bands, known as Pili annulati, is a genetic condition that is usually harmless and often considered attractive.

This study observed that human hair macrofibrils predominantly exhibit a double-twist architecture with varying inter-macrofibril angles, advancing insights into their structural organization and mechanical implications.

In this study, trichostasis spinulosa was observed in 51 patients with lesions on the nose, where some follicles contained up to 86 hairs each, possibly influenced by endocrine factors and actinic rays.

This study found that in naturally curved human scalp hairs, distinct arrangements of cell types on either side of the hair fiber contribute to its curvature.

This study examines the structure of the "sinuskissen" in cat hair follicles, revealing it as a loose connective tissue susceptible to changes in aqueous flow, and describes its variable three-dimensional shapes.

In this study, researchers found that the expression of vimentin, desmin, and laminin in rat skin contributes to cell structure and tissue integrity, with varying reactions across different cell types.

This study found that elastic fibre arrangements in the skin of domesticated mammals vary with hair density, with densely-haired species having horizontal fibres and sparsely-haired ones exhibiting a sponge-like system.

This study describes the anatomy of arrector pili muscles in scalp hair follicular units, proposing a model where a single muscle structure is shared by all follicles within a unit.

This histological study of Millivora Capenesis skin describes the composition of the dermis, featuring distinct papillary and reticular layers with associated structures like hair follicles, glands, and corpuscles.

Type XII and XIV collagens help maintain hair follicle structure in bovine skin.

This study found that small proline-rich proteins modify the biomechanical properties of cornified cell envelopes in rodent forestomachs, potentially affecting the tissue's ability to withstand mechanical stress.

The hair follicle's connective tissue is a key source of a certain collagen in human scalp skin.

This study suggests that corkscrew hairs in tinea capitis result from internal hair damage by Trichophyton violaceum and external resistance from scalp scales.

This study found that human trichohyalin has a unique protein sequence potentially contributing to at least three important functions in hair follicle and epidermal cells.

This study observed that hair fibers in older women become more curved with age, decreasing hair luster due to their disordered alignment and structural differences between the convex and concave sides.

Oxidized trichocyte keratin has a helical dislocation in its structure.
