research In Vitro Evaluation of the Effect of a Not Cross-Linked Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel on Human Keratinocytes for Mesotherapy
HYDRO DELUXE BIO hyaluronic acid hydrogel is compatible with skin cells, may reduce inflammation, promote blood vessel growth, and protect against oxidative stress, suggesting it could help revitalize hair follicles.
research Valproate-acid-induced cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
Valproic acid can cause a skin condition called leukocytoclastic vasculitis, which usually gets better after stopping the drug.
research Dietary supplement increases anagen hair rate in women with telogen effluvium: results of a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
The dietary supplement helped increase hair growth in women with hair loss.
research Molecular cloning of two novel types of peptidylarginine deiminase cDNAs from retinoic acid‐treated culture of a newborn rat keratinocyte cell line
Two new enzymes, PAD-R11 and PAD-R4, were cloned and showed activity, with PAD-R11 resembling epidermal enzymes.
research Variation in the caprine keratin-associated protein 15-1 (KAP15-1) gene affects cashmere fibre diameter
The KRTAP15-1 gene affects cashmere fiber thickness in goats.
research Riboflavin-responsive glutaryl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
Taking riboflavin and eating less lysine can help some people with a specific genetic disorder avoid brain damage.
research Formaldehyde replacement with glyoxylic acid in semipermanent hair straightening: a new and multidisciplinary investigation
Glyoxylic acid is a safer alternative to formaldehyde for hair straightening and effectively changes hair structure.
research Characterization of transport systems for cysteine, lysine, alanine, and leucine in wool follicles of sheep
Sheep wool follicles absorb different amino acids at various rates and locations, which could affect wool growth based on diet and genetics.
research Determination of Cystine and Cysteine in Altered Human Hair Fibers
Cold waving solutions quickly reduce cystine to cysteine in hair.
research Glucose and acetate metabolism by isolated sheep wool follicles
Sheep wool follicles can metabolize both glucose and acetate using different pathways important for wool growth.
research Increased retinol‐binding protein (RBP) 4 and anti‐RBP4 antibody in alopecia areata
People with alopecia areata have higher levels of RBP4 protein and antibodies against it.
research Novel Placenta-Derived Liquid Product Suitable for Cosmetic Application Produced by Fermentation and Digestion of Porcine or Equine Placenta Using Lactic Acid Bacterium Enterococcus faecalis PR31
The new placenta-derived liquid improves skin moisture better than traditional extracts.
research Evaluation of Serum Homocysteine Levels in Patients with Cutaneous-Oral Lichen Planus and Psoriasis Patients
Patients with psoriasis and cutaneous-oral lichen planus have higher blood homocysteine levels than healthy people.
research Chemical Reactions Occurring in Curing Treatment for Permanent Hair Straightening Using Thioglycolic and Dithioglycolic Acids
Using both TGA and DTDG in hair straightening reduces hair damage compared to using TGA alone.
research Structural Changes of Hair Keratin by Reduction, Heat and subsequent Oxidation Treatments
DTDG in hair treatments reduces damage and preserves hair structure.
research Alternative Therapies for Vitiligo
Some alternative therapies for vitiligo show promise but need more research.
research Efficacy and tolerability of an oral supplement containing amino acids, iron, selenium, and marine hydrolyzed collagen in subjects with hair loss (androgenetic alopecia, AGA or FAGA or telogen effluvium). A prospective, randomized, 3‐month, controlled, assessor‐blinded study
The supplement with amino acids, iron, selenium, and marine hydrolyzed collagen improved hair growth more than drug treatment alone, with most people tolerating it well.
research Impact of acid (”progressive brush”) and alkaline straightening on the hair fiber: Differential effects on the cuticle and cortex properties
Glyoxylic acid straighteners cause more protein loss but have similar hair strength effects as traditional alkaline straighteners.
research Folklore Herbal Plants as a Safe and Natural Hair Depilatories
Herbal depilatories are safer and cause fewer side effects than chemical ones for hair removal.
research 1348 Changes in the aging dermal hair follicle environment in female scalp
Aging causes changes in scalp cells that can negatively affect hair health.
