research Temporary hair removal by low fluence photoepilation: Histological study on biopsies and cultured human hair follicles
Low fluence photoepilation temporarily removes hair by targeting the hair follicle's pigmented area without severe damage.
research 17α‐estradiol induces aromatase activity in intact human anagen hair follicles ex vivo
17α-estradiol boosts aromatase activity in female hair follicles, potentially helping with hair loss.
research Topical application of Polygonum multiflorum extract induces hair growth of resting hair follicles through upregulating Shh and β-catenin expression in C57BL/6 mice
Polygonum multiflorum extract helps grow hair by activating certain hair growth signals in mice.
research Hair cycle-specific expression of versican in human hair follicles
Versican, a protein, is less present in thinning hair follicles and this decrease might contribute to common hair loss in men.
research Changes in hair weight in men with androgenetic alopecia after treatment with finasteride (1 mg daily): Three- and 4-year results
Finasteride increases hair weight and count in men with hair loss, with best results after four years.
research Localisation of members of the notch system and the differentiation of vibrissa hair follicles: Receptors, ligands, and fringe modulators
Notch-related genes play a key role in the development and cycling of hair follicles.
research Alopecia areata incognita: A Hypothesis
Alopecia areata may appear differently depending on the individual's type of hair loss and scalp condition.
research No Association between Serum Ferritin Levels >10 μg/l and Hair Loss Activity in Women
Higher iron levels in the blood are not linked to increased hair loss in women.
research A comparison of vertical versus transverse sections in the evaluation of alopecia biopsy specimens
Using both vertical and transverse sections gives a better diagnosis of alopecia than using one method alone.
research The Effect of Topical Minoxidil on Hair Follicular Cycles of Rats
Minoxidil speeds up hair growth in rats without prolonging growth phase.
research Fractional Photothermolysis Laser Treatment of Male Pattern Hair Loss
Laser treatment can stimulate hair growth for male pattern hair loss.
research Estrogens and Human Scalp Hair Growth—Still More Questions than Answers
The effects of estrogen on human hair growth are unclear and need more research.
research Effect of Adenovirus-Mediated Expression of Sonic Hedgehog Gene on Hair Regrowth in Mice With Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Using a gene therapy with the Sonic Hedgehog gene helps mice regrow hair faster after losing it from chemotherapy.
research Cyclical Changes in Rat Vibrissa Follicles Maintained In Vitro
Rat vibrissa follicles are useful for studying hair growth cycles, especially the transition from pro-anagen to anagen.
research Human hair follicles operate an internal Cori cycle and modulate their growth via glycogen phosphorylase
Inhibiting glycogen metabolism can promote hair growth.
research Peppermint Oil Promotes Hair Growth without Toxic Signs
Peppermint oil can effectively promote hair growth without being toxic.
research HAIR DISEASES
Most hair loss can be diagnosed with patient history and physical exam, and a few common types make up most cases.
research Effects of Imiquimod on Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Hair Cycle Progression
Imiquimod cream activates hair follicle stem cells and causes early hair growth by changing immune cells and certain protein expressions.
research Analysis of quantitative changes in hair growth during treatment with chemotherapy or tamoxifen in patients with breast cancer: a cohort study
Chemotherapy causes hair loss starting soon after treatment begins and recovers about 3 months after ending, while tamoxifen does not significantly affect hair growth.
research Narrow-band red LED light promotes mouse hair growth through paracrine growth factors from dermal papilla
Red LED light helps mouse hair grow by increasing growth factors from skin cells.
research Management of hypotrichosis of the eyelashes: Focus on bimatoprost
Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03% safely and effectively increases eyelash growth when applied to the upper eyelid.
research Alopecia: A Pathologist's View
The review concludes that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires proper biopsy techniques and understanding the hair growth cycle and underlying causes.
research Hair Loss and Lithium
Lithium therapy may cause temporary hair loss, with possible regrowth if treatment is stopped or continued.
research Hair Growth Promoting Activity of Cedrol Nanoemulsion in C57BL/6 Mice and Its Bioavailability
Cedrol Nanoemulsion was found to be more effective at promoting hair growth than traditional treatments and had better bioavailability.
research A study on the extracts of Cuscuta reflexa Roxb. in treatment of cyclophosphamide induced alopecia
Cuscuta reflexa extracts helped regrow hair in rats with drug-induced hair loss.
research Common Baldness in Women
The document concludes that early diagnosis is key for treating common baldness in women, but reassurance is often the best approach as hair thinning can be a normal part of aging.
research Construction of transcriptome atlas of white yak hair follicle during anagen and catagen using single-cell RNA sequencing
The research improved understanding of yak hair growth to help use yak wool better.
research Myristoleic Acid Promotes Anagen Signaling by Autophagy through Activating Wnt/β-Catenin and ERK Pathways in Dermal Papilla Cells
Myristoleic acid helps hair growth by boosting cell growth and recycling processes in hair follicle cells.
research Alopecia areata incognita in Cronkhite-Canada syndrome
The report suggests that hair loss in Cronkhite-Canada syndrome may be caused by alopecia areata incognita, as shown by a patient's improvement with treatment.
