Hair Shafts
L. Rudnicka et al. (eds.), Atlas of Trichoscopy, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4471-4486-1_2, © Springer-Verlag London 2012 Most hairs viewed on trichoscopy are normal terminal hairs that are more than 55 m m wide and are uniform in thickness and color [ 1, 2 ] . Hair shaft thickness may be roughly estimated with a handheld dermoscope (thin, normal, thick). Many videodermoscopes include software allowing a...
متن کاملKeratins and lipids in ethnic hair.
Human hair has an important and undeniable relevance in society due to its important role in visual appearance and social communication. Hair is mainly composed of structural proteins, mainly keratin and keratin associated proteins and lipids. Herein, we report a comprehensive study of the content and distribution of the lipids among ethnic hair, African, Asian and Caucasian hair. More interest...
متن کاملPlucked Human Hair Shafts and Biomolecular Medical Research
The hair follicle is a skin integument at the boundary between an organism and its immediate environment. The biological role of the human hair follicle has lost some of its ancestral importance. However, an indepth investigation of this miniorgan reveals hidden complexity with huge research potential. An essential consideration when dealing with human research is the awareness of potential har...
متن کاملWhole-genome shotgun sequencing of mitochondria from ancient hair shafts.
Although the application of sequencing-by-synthesis techniques to DNA extracted from bones has revolutionized the study of ancient DNA, it has been plagued by large fractions of contaminating environmental DNA. The genetic analyses of hair shafts could be a solution: We present 10 previously unexamined Siberian mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) mitochondrial genomes, sequenced with up to 48-fold ...
متن کاملAcidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins
Although numerous hair proteins have been studied biochemically and many have been sequenced, relatively little is known about their in situ distribution and differential expression in the hair follicle. To study this problem, we have prepared several mouse monoclonal antibodies that recognize different classes of human hair proteins. Our AE14 antibody recognizes a group of 10-25K hair proteins...
