The search for more effective drugs for the management of common hair growth disorders remains a top priority, both for clinical dermatology and industry. In this pilot study, we report a pragmatic organotypic assay for basic and applied hair research. The patented technique produces microdroplets, which generate human folliculoid microspheres (HFMs), consisting of human dermal papilla fibrobla...

Objective. This study was designed to observe the histocompatibility and long-term results of wigs after xenogeneic hair transplantation and to explore the possibility of industrial products in clinical application. Methods. The human hair and melted medical polypropylene were preceded into the follicular unit-like wigs according to the natural follicular unit by extrusion molding. 12 New Zeala...

In this study, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were determined in human scalp hair from Vietnam. Levels of PBDEs and HBCDs were significantly higher in hair of e-waste recycling workers in Bui Dau (e-waste recycling site), an e-waste recycling site than those in general residents in Bui Dau, Dong Mai (lead battery recy...

With regard to hair shape, previous anthropologic studies have emphasized its variability within and between human ethnic groups. Many studies have broadly distinguished three ethnic human subgr...
