research An Ultrastructural Study on Corkscrew Hairs and Cigarette-Ash-Shaped Hairs Observed by Dermoscopy of Tinea Capitis
Corkscrew and cigarette-ash-shaped hairs in tinea capitis are caused by internal hair degradation and external resistance.
research New Insights Into Human Hair: SAXS, SEM, TEM, and EDX for Alopecia Areata Investigations
Alopecia Areata causes significant structural and compositional changes in hair.
research Machine Learning Guided Discovery of Superoxide Dismutase Nanozymes for Androgenetic Alopecia
Machine learning identified promising nanozymes for treating hair loss.
research Microscopical Characterization of Known Postmortem Root Bands Using Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Isolated Patchy Heterochromia With Pili Annulati Features on Light and Electron Microscopy
Isolated patchy heterochromia with pili annulati can occur without other health issues.
research Characterization of Hair Lipid Images by Argon Sputter Etching-Scanning Electron Microscopy
Hair texture changes with age due to varying levels of lipids.
research Three-Dimensional Imaging of Tight Junction Network Across Multiple Layers of Human Epidermis by Array Tomography Using Backscattered Electron-Mode Scanning Electron Microscopy
The study found that tight junctions reach the top layer of the skin's stratum granulosum, not just the second top layer as previously thought.
research Pili Annulati with Fragility: Electron Microscopic Findings of a Case
The study found that hair fragility in Pili annulati may be caused by cavities and damage within the hair shafts.
research Hair Microscopy: An Easy Adjunct to Diagnosis of Systemic Diseases in Children
Hair microscopy is a simple and cost-effective method to help diagnose systemic diseases in children.
research Analysis of Bimatoprost-Induced Changes on Rabbit Eyelash Follicle: Clinical and Electron Microscopic Study
Bimatoprost eye drops make rabbit eyelashes longer, thicker, and darker, and increase the number of lashes without causing inflammation.
research Alterations in Hair Follicle Morphology and Hair Shaft Production After Follicular Unit Transplantation
Hair transplants can make hair follicles larger and hair shafts thicker.
research The Keratins of the Human Beard Hair Medulla: The Riddle in the Middle
Human beard hair medulla contains a unique and complex mix of keratins not found in other human tissues.
research In Vitro Assembly Properties of Human Type I and II Hair Keratins
Different combinations of human hair keratins affect how hair fibers form.
research Three-Dimensional Reconstructions of Mechanosensory End Organs Suggest a Unifying Mechanism Underlying Dynamic, Light Touch
Dynamic, light touch is sensed through a common mechanism involving Piezo2 channels in sensory axons.
research George Ernest Rogers 1927–2021
George Ernest Rogers was a notable scientist who made important discoveries about hair and wool proteins.
research Ultrastructural Immunolocalization of Involucrin in the Medulla and Inner Root Sheath of Human Hair
Involucrin helps strengthen the inner parts of human hair.
research Uncombable-Hair Syndrome
Four children had unmanageable pale blond hair due to uncombable-hair syndrome.
research Telocytes in Human Skin – Are They Involved in Skin Regeneration?
Telocytes might help with skin repair and regeneration.
research Alopecia Areata in C3H/HeJ Mice Involves Leukocyte-Mediated Root Sheath Disruption in Advance of Overt Hair Loss
Hair loss in mice starts with immune cells damaging hair roots before it becomes visible.
research Cell Types Promoting Goosebumps Form a Niche to Regulate Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Muscles and nerves that cause goosebumps also help control hair growth.
research Structural Mechanism of TRPV3 Channel Inhibition by the Plant-Derived Coumarin Osthole
Osthole inhibits the TRPV3 channel by binding to specific sites, potentially aiding drug development for skin diseases and cancers.
research A Prospective Study of Dermoscopic and Ultrastructural Features of Vitiligo-Associated Leukotrichia
The study found that white hair in vitiligo has specific patterns and structures, which vary with the stage of the disease and may be similar to another hair condition.
research Investigation of Aging Effects in Human Hair Using Atomic Force Microscopy
Aging makes hair thinner and rougher, with less clear edges.
research Clinical Relevance of Hair Microscopy in Alopecia
Hair microscopy is useful for diagnosing certain hair loss conditions but has limitations and must be interpreted carefully.
research Evaluation of Surface Structure and Morphological Phenomena of Caucasian Virgin Hair with Atomic Force Microscopy
AFM can diagnose hair disorders by revealing detailed hair surface changes.
research Hair Regrowth Boosting Via Minoxidil Cubosomes: Formulation Development, In Vivo Hair Regrowth Evaluation, Histopathological Examination, and Confocal Laser Microscopy Imaging
A new version of minoxidil, a hair loss treatment, was made using nanotechnology. This version, called minoxidil cubosomes, works better and causes fewer skin reactions than the old version. It also penetrates and stays in the skin better, promoting hair regrowth. It's safe and could be a good alternative to current treatments.
research Location of Keratin-Associated Proteins in Developing Fiber Cuticle Cells Using Immunoelectron Microscopy
Keratin-associated proteins are part of the developing hair fiber cuticle.
