research Intermediate Hair Follicles from Patients with Female Pattern Hair Loss Are Associated with Nutrient Insufficiency and a Quiescent Metabolic Phenotype
Nutritional supplements may help improve hair growth in female pattern hair loss.
research Enrichment of Specific Hair Follicle-Associated Cell Populations in Plucked Hairs Offers an Opportunity to Study Gene Expression Underlying Hair Traits
Plucked hairs can be used instead of skin biopsies to study hair traits because they contain specific cells related to hair.
research Understanding Curly Hair Mechanics: Fiber Strength
Curly hair is mechanically different from straight hair and may need new testing methods.
research Trichoscopy in Genetic Hair Shaft Abnormalities
Trichoscopy is a quick and easy way to diagnose most genetic hair problems without invasive methods.
research Pathogenesis and Clinical Features of Alopecia in Epidermolysis Bullosa: A Systematic Review
Alopecia in patients with epidermolysis bullosa varies in severity and is often caused by skin blistering or trauma.

research British Society for Dermatopathology 2011 Findings
Dermatologists give better information on pathology forms, hypersensitivity vasculitis is a common skin issue, misdiagnoses can occur, and various skin conditions are linked to loss of elastin or genetic factors.
research Transglutaminase Activity Is Conserved in Stratified Epithelia and Skin Appendages of Mammals and Birds
Transglutaminase activity is important for skin and is found in both mammals and birds.
research Electron Microscope Studies of Hair and Wool
Hair and wool have complex microscopic structures with microfibrils and varying cystine content.
research Transformation of Amnion Epithelium into Skin and Hair Follicles
Mouse amnion can turn into skin and hair follicles with help from certain cells and factors.
research A Function for Rac1 in the Terminal Differentiation and Pigmentation of Hair
Rac1 is essential for proper hair structure and color.
research Progressive Alopecia Reveals Decreasing Stem Cell Activation Probability During Aging of Mice with Epidermal Deletion of DNA Methyltransferase 1
Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
research A Primer for Studying Cell Cycle Dynamics of the Human Hair Follicle
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle cell cycles is crucial for hair growth and alopecia research, and recommends specific techniques and future research directions.
