research Benign prostatic hyperplasia, metabolic syndrome and androgenic alopecia: Is there a possible relationship?
People with early hair loss may have a higher chance of enlarged prostate and metabolic syndrome, so they should be checked for urinary and metabolic issues.
research Anatomy and Physiology of Hair
Hair is important for protection, social interaction, and temperature control, and is made of a growth cycle-influenced follicle and a complex shaft.
research The human hair follicle has established a fully functional peripheral equivalent of the hypothamalic‐pituitary‐adrenal‐axis (HPA)
Human hair follicles can produce stress hormones like the body's main stress response system.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Skin Epidermis
The skin protects the body and is constantly renewed by stem cells; disruptions can lead to cancer.
research Complementary and Alternative Treatments for Alopecia: A Comprehensive Review
Some alternative treatments for hair loss might work, but more research is needed.
research Control of pelage hair follicle development and cycling by complex interactions between follistatin and activin
Follistatin helps hair growth and cycling, while activin prevents it.
research Hair colouring, permanent styling and hair structure
Frequent hair coloring and styling can damage hair and cause breakage or loss.
research Peripheral Skin Temperature and Circadian Biological Clock in Shift Nurses after a Day off
Shift nurses show altered body temperature and stress hormone levels, suggesting their body clocks adjust to irregular schedules.
research Dormancy in the stem cell niche
Some stem cells in the body rarely divide, which could help create better treatments for diseases and aging.
research Possible relationship between chronic telogen effluvium and changes in lead, cadmium, zinc, and iron total blood levels in females: A case-control study
Higher lead and cadmium, and lower zinc and iron levels in the blood might be linked to chronic hair loss in women.
research The peach RGF/GLV signalling peptide pCTG134 is involved in a regulatory circuit that sustains auxin and ethylene actions
The peach gene pCTG134 helps control the interaction between auxin and ethylene hormones during fruit ripening.
research Mechanism of action of androgen in hair follicles
Testosterone affects hair follicles differently across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing more activity of a specific enzyme and presence of androgen receptors compared to scalp hair.
research Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance or Chrousos Syndrome: Allostasis Through a Mutated Glucocorticoid Receptor
Chrousos Syndrome is caused by mutations that make the body less sensitive to glucocorticoids, leading to various symptoms and requiring high-dose treatment.
research MIM and Cortactin Antagonism Regulates Ciliogenesis and Hedgehog Signaling
MIM is crucial for hair follicle formation and regeneration by controlling cilia formation and hedgehog signaling through its interaction with Cortactin and Src.
research Microemulsions as Carriers for Therapeutic Molecules
Microemulsions could improve how drugs are delivered and absorbed in the body.
research Analytical Techniques for the Quantification of Finasteride - A Review
Different methods accurately measure Finasteride in medicines and body fluids.
research The Nuclear Vitamin D Receptor: Biological and Molecular Regulatory Properties Revealed
The vitamin D receptor is crucial for bone health and affects various body systems, with mutations potentially leading to disease.
research Ferreting out stem cells from their niches
New methods have greatly improved our understanding of stem cell behavior and roles in the body.
research Stem cells and the circadian clock
The circadian clock influences the behavior and regeneration of stem cells in the body.
research Stem cells of hair follicles micrografted into a tissue-engineered dermal template (Integra®)
The treatment successfully integrated hair follicles into a dermal template, showing new hair growth and blood vessel formation.
research The Genetics of Human Skin Disease
Genetic research has advanced our understanding of skin diseases, but complex conditions require an integrative approach for deeper insight.
research Exploring the “Thyroid–Skin Connection”: Concepts, Questions, and Clinical Relevance
Thyroid function affects skin health, with a complex interaction between the two.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research A Review of the Impact of Calorie Restriction on Stem Cell Potency
Eating fewer calories improves the ability of stem cells to repair and renew the body in various tissues.
research Melatonin Receptors and Their Role in Human Diseases
Melatonin receptors, found in many body parts, can help treat various diseases like depression and diabetes due to their effects on inflammation, tumor progression, sleep disorders, and body mass regulation.
research Bad Hair Day: Testosterone and Wnts
Testosterone can both promote hair growth and cause baldness by affecting hair growth signals.
research Deletion of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl 4-hydroxylase 2 in FoxD1-lineage mesenchymal cells leads to congenital truncal alopecia
Removing a specific gene in certain skin cells causes hair loss on the body by disrupting normal hair development.
research Nanocarriers for Improved Delivery of Angiotensin-(1-7)
Nanocarriers like liposomes and cyclodextrins improve how angiotensin-(1-7) is delivered in the body.
research Hair Cosmetics: Dyes
Hair dyes can change hair color temporarily or permanently but may cause side effects like skin reactions and hair damage.
