research Androgens and human hair growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research Smad7-Induced β-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research Increased copy number of the TERT and TERC telomerase subunit genes in cancer cells
Cancer cells often have more copies of TERT and TERC genes, which helps them grow and could affect patient outcomes.
research Stretching the limits: from homeostasis to stem cell plasticity in wound healing and cancer
Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
research Extracellular vesicles derived from MSCs activates dermal papilla cell in vitro and promotes hair follicle conversion from telogen to anagen in mice
Tiny particles from stem cells help activate hair growth cells and encourage hair growth in mice without being toxic.
research FGF Family: From Drug Development to Clinical Application
FGF signaling is a promising target for developing treatments for wounds, metabolic diseases, and cancer.

research Applications of platelet-rich plasma in dermatology: A critical appraisal of the literature
Platelet-rich plasma may have some benefits in dermatology, but there's not enough evidence to widely recommend its use.
research Chronic Restraint Stress Inhibits Hair Growth via Substance P Mediated by Reactive Oxygen Species in Mice
Chronic stress can cause hair loss by increasing oxidative stress, but antioxidants may help.
research 9 Pilosebaceous physiology in relation to hirsutism and acne
Male hormones are important for hair and oil gland development and can cause conditions like excessive hair growth and acne.
research Molecular basis of hair cell loss
The document concludes that there are no effective clinical treatments for hearing loss due to hair cell damage, but research is ongoing.
research Current applications of high-frequency ultrasonography in dermatology
High-frequency ultrasonography is a useful but underused tool in dermatology for assessing skin cancers, monitoring diseases, and evaluating treatments.
research Physiological Regeneration of Skin Appendages and Implications for Regenerative Medicine
The document concludes that understanding hair and feather regeneration can help develop new regenerative medicine strategies.

Both mouse and rat models are effective for testing alopecia areata treatments.
research What should it take to describe a substance or product as 'sperm-safe'
Products should be called 'sperm-safe' only after thorough, well-designed tests.
research Normal Hair Growth in Children
Children's hair grows in different types from before birth through puberty, with growth rates and characteristics varying by age, sex, and race.
research Skin grafting for the treatment of chronic leg ulcers – a systematic review in evidence‐based medicine
Skin grafts are effective for chronic leg ulcers, especially autologous split-thickness grafts for venous ulcers, but more data is needed for diabetic ulcers.
