research The prostamide‐related glaucoma therapy, bimatoprost, offers a novel approach for treating scalp alopecias
Bimatoprost, a glaucoma medication, may also help treat hair loss.
research The Mesenchymal Niche of the Hair Follicle Induces Regeneration by Releasing Primed Progenitors from Inhibitory Effects of Quiescent Stem Cells
The study found that a specific area of the hair follicle helps start hair growth by reducing the blocking effects on certain cells and controlling growth signals.
research Dicer- and Bulge Stem Cell-Dependent MicroRNAs During Induced Anagen Hair Follicle Development
MicroRNAs are important for hair growth regulation, with Dicer being crucial and Tarbp2 less significant.
research Expression Pattern of Cyclooxygenase-2 in Normal Rat Epidermis and Pilosebaceous Unit during Hair Cycle
COX-2 levels change during the hair cycle and affect skin and hair growth.
research The genetically programmed hair growth cycle and alopecia: what is there to know?
The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
research Effect of tofacitinib on the expression of noggin/BMP-4 and hair growth stimulation in mice
Tofacitinib helps mice grow more hair by increasing noggin and BMP4 levels, possibly better than minoxidil.
research Integrative Whole-Transcriptome Sequencing Analysis of Skin Tissues with Different Coat Types in Cashmere Goats Across Stages of Hair Follicle Development
The study found that different genes are active in cashmere goats' hair growth stages, which can help improve cashmere production.
research Pilose antler extracts promotes hair growth in androgenetic alopecia mice by activating hair follicle stem cells via the AKT and Wnt pathways
Pilose antler extracts help hair growth by activating hair follicle stem cells.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Chronic telogen effluvium: Increased scalp hair shedding in middle-aged women
Middle-aged women with chronic telogen effluvium experience increased hair shedding but usually don't get significantly thinner hair.
research Biology of the Hair Follicle: The Basics
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle biology can lead to better hair loss treatments.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
research Hair anatomy for the clinician
Understanding hair follicle anatomy helps diagnose hair disorders.
research Human hair follicle organ culture: theory, application and perspectives
Human hair follicle organ culture is a useful model for hair research with potential for studying hair biology and testing treatments.
research Melatonin and the hair follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research A Guide to Assessing Damage Response Pathways of the Hair Follicle: Lessons From Cyclophosphamide-Induced Alopecia in Mice
The document concludes that assessing hair follicle damage due to cyclophosphamide in mice involves analyzing structural changes and suggests a scoring system for standardized evaluation.
research Hair Follicle Immune Privilege Revisited: The Key to Alopecia Areata Management
Restoring hair bulb immune privilege is crucial for managing alopecia areata.
research Ketoconazole Shampoo: Effect of Long-Term Use in Androgenic Alopecia
Ketoconazole shampoo improves hair growth and reduces oil similarly to minoxidil in male pattern hair loss.
research Prolactin and Its Receptor Are Expressed in Murine Hair Follicle Epithelium, Show Hair Cycle-Dependent Expression, and Induce Catagen
Prolactin affects hair growth cycles and can cause early hair follicle regression.
research Histopathologic Evaluation of Alopecias
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires careful examination of hair and scalp tissue, considering both clinical and microscopic features.
research Diffuse hair loss
Hair loss that spreads out can often fix itself or be treated by finding and handling the cause.
research Identifying novel strategies for treating human hair loss disorders: Cyclosporine A suppresses the Wnt inhibitor, SFRP1, in the dermal papilla of human scalp hair follicles
Cyclosporine A may help treat hair loss by blocking a protein that inhibits hair growth.
research Stem cell quiescence acts as a tumour suppressor in squamous tumours
Inactive hair follicle stem cells help prevent skin cancer.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor β2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research HAIR AND SYSTEMATIC DISEASE
Hair loss can indicate underlying systemic diseases and addressing these can sometimes reverse the hair loss.
research Lef1 Contributes to the Differentiation of Bulge Stem Cells by Nuclear Translocation and Cross-Talk with the Notch Signaling Pathway
Lef1 helps stem cells become hair cells by interacting with specific signaling pathways.
research A prospective randomized trial comparing finasteride to spironolactone in the treatment of hirsute women.
Finasteride and spironolactone both reduce hirsutism, but finasteride lowers androgen levels more.
research Pitx2, a β-catenin-regulated transcription factor, regulates the differentiation of outer root sheath cells cultured in vitro
Pitx2 helps outer root sheath cells differentiate but can't start hair growth on its own.
research What controls hair follicle cycling?
The control system for hair growth cycles is not well understood and needs more research.
