research Type 1 interferon signature in the scalp lesions of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata shows a unique type 1 interferon signature, suggesting potential treatment by targeting this pathway.
research Skin wounds in the MRL/MPJ mouse heal with scar
MRL/MpJ mice's skin wounds heal with scars, unlike their ear wounds which can regenerate.
research Skin physiology in microgravity: a 3-month stay aboard ISS induces dermal atrophy and affects cutaneous muscle and hair follicles cycling in mice
A 3-month stay in space causes skin thinning, disrupts hair growth, and changes muscle-related genes in mice.
research Ultrasound-activated particles as CRISPR/Cas9 delivery system for androgenic alopecia therapy
Scientists have created a new hair loss treatment using ultrasound to deliver gene-editing particles, which resulted in up to 90% hair regrowth in mice.
research Mechanism of action of herbs and their active constituents used in hair loss treatment
Some herbs and their components might help treat hair loss by affecting various biological pathways, but more research and regulation are needed.
research A nude mouse model of hypertrophic scar shows morphologic and histologic characteristics of human hypertrophic scar
Nude mice with grafted human skin developed scars similar to human hypertrophic scars.
research A discourse on human hair fibers and reflections on the conservation of drug molecules
Hair analysis for drugs needs a better understanding of how drugs enter hair, considering factors like hair structure and pigmentation.
research To grow or not to grow: Hair morphogenesis and human genetic hair disorders
Genetic mutations can cause hair growth disorders by affecting key genes and signaling pathways.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cells in the pigmentation of skin and its appendages: Biological patterning and therapeutic potentials
Understanding how melanocyte stem cells work could lead to new treatments for hair graying and skin pigmentation disorders.
research Hydrogen peroxide disrupts scarless fetal wound repair
Hydrogen peroxide can cause scars by changing healing processes and increasing certain protein levels.
research Deciphering the functions of the hair follicle infundibulum in skin physiology and disease
The hair follicle infundibulum plays a key role in skin health and disease, and understanding it better could lead to new skin disease treatments.
research Spironolactone: An Anti-androgenic and Anti-hypertensive Drug That May Provide Protection Against the Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19
Spironolactone might help protect against severe lung problems in COVID-19 patients.
research Effects of Finasteride on Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
Finasteride reduces prostate bleeding by affecting blood vessel growth.
research Enzyme Treatment of Wool and Specialty Hair Fibers
Enzymes xylanase and pectinase clean wool and specialty hair fibers effectively without damage, offering an eco-friendly alternative to soap and hot water.
research Repurposing existing drugs for COVID-19: an endocrinology perspective
Existing drug dexamethasone may lower death risk in severe COVID-19 cases; more research needed for other drugs.
research Chemotherapy of psoriasis and other skin disorders with oral retinoids
Oral retinoids are effective for treating severe skin disorders but have reversible side effects and risks for pregnant women.
research The Hair Follicle
Dogs could be good models for studying human hair growth and hair loss.
research Candidate genes of SARS-CoV-2 gender susceptibility
Men are more affected by COVID-19 due to differences in immune responses and protein expression.
research PKC downregulation upon rapamycin treatment attenuates mitochondrial disease
Rapamycin treatment helps with mitochondrial disease by reducing PKC levels.
research Cholesterol homeostasis: Links to hair follicle biology and hair disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and risks for COVID-19 infection: A comprehensive review
Women with PCOS have a higher risk of severe COVID-19 due to related health issues.
research C‐reactive protein promotes adhesion of monocytes to endothelial cells via NADPH oxidase‐mediated oxidative stress
C-reactive protein helps monocytes stick to blood vessel cells by causing oxidative stress.
research Friends Turned Foes: Angiogenic Growth Factors beyond Angiogenesis
Some growth factors, while important for normal body functions, can cause diseases when not regulated properly.
research Crosstalk between androgen and Wnt/β-catenin leads to changes of wool density in FGF5-knockout sheep
Blocking the FGF5 gene in sheep leads to more fine wool and active hair follicles due to changes in certain cell signaling pathways.
research Mutations in Sterol O-Acyltransferase 1 (Soat1) Result in Hair Interior Defects in AKR/J Mice
A mutation in the Soat1 gene causes hair structure defects and other health issues in AKR/J mice.
research Procyanidins attenuate neuropathic pain by suppressing matrix metalloproteinase-9/2
Procyanidins from grape seeds reduce nerve pain by blocking specific proteins and inflammation.
research Testosterone target therapy: focus on immune response, controversies and clinical implications in patients with COVID-19 infection
