'Laser tweezers' may help the hard of hearing
A University of Sussex neuroscientist has been awarded £775,000 by the Medical Research Council to continue his research into the causes of deafness, by looking at hair cells in the ear. "Hair cells are the sensory receptors in the ear. Sound vibrates the hairs, which produces an... view more (2003-02-05)

Hair samples may be more accurate measure of exposure to second hand smoke
Strands of hair accurately measure second hand tobacco smoke exposure, finds research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. And they may be more effective than currently used methods, suggest the authors.   view more (2001-12-17)

New radiation technique helps brain cancer patients keep their hair
Patients whose cancer has spread to the brain can avoid typical hair loss (alopecia) when treated with newer radiation techniques, thereby improving their quality of life while still controlling their cancer.   view more (2005-10-17)

UVa Study Expected to Accelerate Development of New Therapies For Hearing and Balance Deficiencies that Impair Millions Worldwide
Birds, fish and amphibians can do something that humans and other mammals generally cannot: re-grow damaged or lost inner ear hair cells.   view more (2007-09-26)

UVa researchers restore genes in human inner ear cells
Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System have discovered a way to transfer genes, which they hope will restore hearing, into diseased tissue of the human inner ear.   view more (2007-06-14)

Medication plus oral contraceptive may improve female pattern hair loss
Finasteride, a medication approved to treat hair loss in men, may also improve the condition in women when combined with oral contraceptives   view more (2006-03-21)

Blow for hair link to breast cancer
The promising link between certain properties in human hair which could have potentially helped in diagnosis of breast cancer is "dubious" according to research published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Physics in Medicine and Biology. Dr Mark Sutton of the McGill University in Canada... view more (2002-04-26)

Hair-raising stem cells identified
Using an animal model, a research team led by Yann Barrandon at the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) and the CHUV (Lausanne University Hospital) has discovered that certain cells inside the hair follicle are true multipotent stem cells, capable of developing into the many different... view more (2005-10-05)

Columbia geneticists uncover new gene involved in determining hair texture and density in humans
A Columbia University Medical Center research team has discovered a new gene involved in determining hair texture in humans.   view more (2008-02-26)

New cell culturing method pumps up the volume
In a breakthrough that will likely accelerate research aimed at cures for hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance problems, scientists have perfected a laboratory culturing technique that provides a reliable new source of cells critical to understanding certain inner-ear disorders.   view more (2007-09-25)

Heads-up study of hair dynamics may lead to better hair-care products
rom frizzy perms to over-bleached waves, "bad hair days" could soon become a less frequent occurrence. Chemists report the first detailed microscopic analysis of what happens to individual hair fibers when they interact with each other, an advance in knowledge key to the development of... view more (2008-08-18)

Journal article validates the coming of age of hair replacement surgery
More than half of all men and one third of all women in the United States are going bald. But in the past, hair transplantation procedures were not designed for everyone.   view more (2006-02-06)

Yale researchers find environmental toxins disruptive to hearing in mammals
Yale School of Medicine researchers have new data showing chloride ions are critical to hearing in mammals, which builds on previous research showing a chemical used to keep barnacles off boats might disrupt the balance of these ions in ear cells.   view more (2006-04-12)

Hair samples show babies can be exposed to 'crystal meth' while in the womb
Babies can be exposed to methamphetamine or "crystal meth" while in the womb, reveals an analysis of hair samples.   view more (2006-10-31)

New micro instrument controls medicine flows
Research scientists at the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory in Oslo have developed a flow metre with fluid channels thinner than a strand of hair. The new device controls that patients receive the correct dosage of medicine.   view more (2004-11-03)

Getting to the roots of hair loss
A healthy individual loses around a hundred hairs a day. Nothing to worry about as long as they are constantly replaced and the losses occur evenly around the whole scalp.   view more (2008-02-25)

USC researchers identify mechanism that controls activation of stem cells during hair regeneration
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have identified a novel cyclic signaling in the dermis that coordinates stem cell activity and regulates regeneration in large populations of hairs in animal models.   view more (2008-01-17)

Frozen hair holds secrets of Yellowstone grizzlies
Locks of hair from more than 400 grizzly bears are stored at Montana State University, waiting to tell the tale of genetic diversity in the Yellowstone Ecosystem.   view more (2007-12-19)

Mouse Model Gives Insight to Human Hair Loss
A progressive skin disease causing hair loss in adult humans was identified in laboratory mice, providing a genetic tool to study the disease known as alopecia areata (AA).   view more (2004-11-10)

Researchers learn more about ways to regenerate the ear's hearing cells
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers have made important progress in their ongoing effort to regenerate the inner ear's hair cells, which convert sound vibrations to nerve impulses.   view more (2006-05-01)

New Study Looks At Sensitivity To Sun
A project designed to try and explain the way genes influence sensitivity to sun is underway at the University of Edinburgh. The study will look not only at the role of ultraviolet radiation in causing skin cancer, but at its benefits in treating of patients with psoriasis, eczema and a range of... view more (2002-04-24)

Misconceptions about headlice: what does the research really show?
A review article in this week’s BMJ dispels some of the myths about treating head lice, using the most up-to-date medical research. For example, it shows that:   view more (2003-06-04)
