research Cutaneous application of α-methylspermidine activates the growth of resting hair follicles in mice
Putting α-methylspermidine on mouse skin can start hair growth.
research Gender differences in scalp hair growth rates are maintained but reduced in pattern hair loss compared to controls
Women's hair grows faster and thicker than men's, but hair growth slows for both genders with pattern hair loss.
research Differential Expression of Proteins Associated with the Hair Follicle Cycle - Proteomics and Bioinformatics Analyses
Researchers found 44 proteins that change during different hair growth stages and may be important for hair follicle function.
research Hair-cycle dependent differential expression of ADAM 10 and ADAM 12
ADAM 10 and ADAM 12 proteins are involved in different stages of hair growth and could be targets for treating hair disorders.
research The Thinning Top: Why Old People Have Less Hair
Old people have less hair because their hair follicles don't regenerate as well, not because of fewer stem cells, and a protein called follistatin might help reactivate 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 Nonpigmented hair removal using photodynamic therapy in animal model
Photodynamic therapy can remove nonpigmented hair in mice and might work for humans.
research Reflectance spectroscopy for noninvasive evaluation of hair follicle stage
Reflectance spectroscopy can noninvasively track hair growth stages by measuring skin reflectance and melanin changes.
research Hair Follicle Dermal Stem Cells Regenerate the Dermal Sheath, Repopulate the Dermal Papilla, and Modulate Hair Type
Hair follicle dermal stem cells are key for regenerating parts of the hair follicle and determining hair type.
research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research A Murine Model for Inducing and Manipulating Hair Follicle Regression (Catagen): Effects of Dexamethasone and Cyclosporin A
Dexamethasone speeds up hair loss in mice, while cyclosporin A slows it down.
research The human hair: from anatomy to physiology
The document concludes that hair is complex, with a detailed growth cycle, structure, and clinical importance, affecting various scientific and medical fields.
research mTOR signaling promotes stem cell activation via counterbalancing BMP-mediated suppression during hair regeneration
mTOR signaling helps activate hair stem cells by balancing out the suppression caused by BMP during hair growth.
research Targeted Expression of Human Vitamin D Receptor in the Skin Promotes the Initiation of the Postnatal Hair Follicle Cycle and Rescues the Alopecia in Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Vitamin D receptor is crucial for starting hair growth after birth.
research Hormonal changes in menopause: do they contribute to a ‘midlife hair crisis’ in women?
Menopause-related hormonal changes affect hair but are not the only cause of hair changes in middle-aged women.
research The hair growth promoting effect of ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, a long-acting Vitamin C derivative
A long-acting Vitamin C derivative helps hair grow by stimulating cells and increasing growth factors.
research Human hair follicles operate an internal Cori cycle and modulate their growth via glycogen phosphorylase
Inhibiting glycogen metabolism can promote hair growth.
research Expression of the Orphan Protein Plet-1 during Trichilemmal Differentiation of Anagen Hair Follicles
Plet-1 protein helps hair follicle cells move and stick to tissues.
research How to Diagnose Hair Loss
The document concludes that using specific tools and tests is essential for identifying the cause of hair loss and deciding on the right treatment.
research Icariin promotes mouse hair follicle growth by increasing insulin-like growth factor 1 expression in dermal papillary cells
Icariin helps mouse hair grow by boosting a growth factor in skin cells.
research Hair follicular cell/organ culture in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
Stem cell therapy is a promising approach for hair regrowth despite potential side effects.
research Characterization of BMP2 gene expression in embryonic and adult Inner Mongolia Cashmere goat (Capra hircus) hair follicles
The BMP2 gene is more active in the early growth phase of Cashmere goat hair and may affect hair regeneration and textile production.
research Interleukin 6 induces the hair follicle growth phase (anagen)
Interleukin 6 helps hair grow.
research The Hair Growth-Promoting Effect ofRumex japonicusHoutt. Extract
Rumex japonicus extract may promote hair growth more effectively than Minoxidil.
research Novel circRNAs from cashmere goats: Discovery, integrated regulatory network, and their putative roles in the regeneration and growth of secondary hair follicles
Certain circular RNAs help cashmere goats grow more hair.
research Hair(y) Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
research Analysis of the expression pattern of the carrier protein transthyretin and its receptor megalin in the human scalp skin and hair follicles: hair cycle-associated changes
The proteins transthyretin and megalin are more present in the growth phase of hair, suggesting they might affect hair health and growth.
research Diseases of the Hair and Nails
Stress, nutritional issues, and chronic diseases can cause hair loss, and nail changes may signal internal diseases; treatment focuses on the underlying cause.
research Partial Proteasome Inhibitors Induce Hair Follicle Growth by Stabilizing β-Catenin
Certain inhibitors applied to the skin can promote hair growth by maintaining a key hair growth signal.
