This study demonstrated that the highly divergent WDSV rv-cyclin significantly stimulates eukaryotic cell proliferation, leading to hyperplastic skin lesions in transgenic mice.

This study investigated the dynamic mechanical properties of fluid-immersed elastic hair beds under oscillatory shear flows, revealing a nonlinear response influenced by driving frequency and amplitude, which impacts mechanosensory signaling stability in biological processes like vasodilation and ciliary remodeling.

A man with Woolly Hair Syndrome had very curly, fragile hair, and doctors used a special scalp examination to diagnose him without invasive tests.

This report describes a sudden hair matting incident after shampooing a hairpiece and suggests that weathered hairs might explain this unusual event.

This study found that mice with a disrupted TGFα gene display a curly whisker-coat phenotype, similar to waved-1 mice, suggesting TGFα's crucial role in skin architecture and hair development.

This study examined two cases of bubble hair deformity using light and electron microscopy, suggesting that trauma to the hair shaft may contribute to this condition.

This study introduces a new test using a pendulum device to assess the bending stiffness of hair fibers, which can evaluate the effects of different hair treatments.

This study found that microfibrils play a crucial role in shaping permanent waves by thioglycolic acid, and treating damaged hair with hydrolyzed keratin improved both waving efficiency and hair damage.

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 examined hair curvature in Japanese women, finding that 47% have curved hair, and identified structural differences in hair fiber, which resemble those in wool fibers.

This study observed that the lower part of vibrissa hair roots in adult Wistar rats receives a richer blood supply and structural protection, compared to the upper part.

This study observed that in frizzled 6 null mice, initially uncorrelated hair follicle orientations develop into highly ordered patterns over time, suggesting possible mechanisms for biological structure patterning.

In this study, researchers found that the curliness of human hair is associated with an asymmetric structure at the cellular level, particularly in the differentiation of the precortex.

This study reported three related cases of woolly hair syndrome transmitted as a dominant autosomal trait, characterized by fine, frizzy hair and general hair thinning.

New method, hair distribution width (HDW), improves accuracy in diagnosing androgenetic alopecia (AGA).

This study re-examined the structure of lanceolate endings in rat vibrissae, suggesting that their apical cones may function as a transducer site for detecting hair movements.

This review discusses the history and composition of permanent hair waving products for different hair types and reports no new research findings.

This study identified that the Wave complex proteins ABI1 and Wave2 play a crucial role in regulating epidermal shape and growth during skin development, notably influencing SOX9 expression and Wnt signaling pathways.

This study found that straight crimp mutant wool differs from crimpy wool in the layout of cortical cells and the relative proportions of keratin and keratin-associated proteins.

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 research explores the use of serial block-face scanning electron microscopy to model the complex architecture of sheep wool fibres, focusing on the role and distribution of para- and ortho-cortical cells in determining wool curliness, though the mechanism remains unclear.

This study investigated a spontaneous mutation in mice resulting in hair abnormalities and elevated IgE levels, which resembles human Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.

Two siblings have a rare genetic condition causing curly, coarse hair.

This report identified longitudinal grooves in the hair shafts of four children, diagnosing them with uncombable-hair syndrome.

This study found that hair coloring, waving, and ironing were associated with increased hair abnormalities compared to untreated hair in Iranian women.

This educational activity reports no new research findings; it aims to help physicians assess and improve their clinical skills through self-evaluation and continued medical education.

This study used air wedge interferometry to measure the thickness of human scalp hair from three individuals, finding average thicknesses of 66.482 µm, 59.355 µm, and 59.927 µm respectively, within the typical range for adults.

This study found that hair luster decreases with age in Japanese females, primarily due to an irregular increase in fiber curvature which affects hair alignment.

This study quantified the effects of chemical treatments like oxidative bleaching and hair relaxing on the movement characteristics of hair strands using a novel high-speed recording method.

This study identified a new mouse mutation associated with noninflammatory proliferative skin disease and hair abnormalities, drawing parallels to human conditions like Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.
