research WNT Signaling in Disease
The WNT signaling pathway is important in many diseases and targeting it could offer new treatments.
research Skin biopsy
Correct skin biopsy techniques are crucial to avoid misdiagnosis of skin diseases.
research Protection Against Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
No treatment fully prevents hair loss from chemotherapy yet.
research Intestinal Dysbiosis and Biotin Deprivation Induce Alopecia through Overgrowth of Lactobacillus murinus in Mice
An imbalanced gut and lack of biotin can cause hair loss in mice.
research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Are Associated with Monilethrix-like Congenital Hypotrichosis
Mutations in the DSG4 gene can cause a rare hair disorder similar to monilethrix.
research Treatment of chemotherapy-induced alopecia
Scalp cooling can prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss, and certain treatments can speed up hair regrowth, but more research is needed for better treatments.
research Wnt Signaling and Aging-Related Heart Disorders
Wnt signaling may be linked to heart diseases in aging and could be a target for future treatments.
research Contemporary Hair Transplantation
Modern hair transplants use small grafts for a natural look and drugs to prevent further loss, with high patient satisfaction.
research Finasteride for female androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride increases hair density in female androgenetic alopecia, but individual results may vary.
research Exploring the Drug Repurposing Versatility of Valproic Acid as a Multifunctional Regulator of Innate and Adaptive Immune Cells
Valproic Acid could potentially be used to treat immune-related conditions due to its ability to modify immune cell functions.
research The HoVert technique: a novel method for the sectioning of alopecia biopsies
The HoVert technique is a simple, cost-effective new method that improves alopecia diagnosis by allowing detailed analysis from a single biopsy.
research Proliferation, but Not Apoptosis, Is Associated with Distinct β-Catenin Expression Patterns in Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinomas
Distinct β-catenin patterns are linked to cell growth, not cell death, in lung cancer.
research Comprehensive molecular and cellular studies suggest avian scutate scales are secondarily derived from feathers, and more distant from reptilian scales
Bird scales evolved from feathers, not reptile scales.
research Recent advances on skin‐resident stem/progenitor cell functions in skin regeneration, aging and cancers and novel anti‐aging and cancer therapies
New treatments targeting skin stem cells show promise for skin repair, anti-aging, and cancer therapy.
research Keratin formation in the hair follicle
Keratin fibrils in hair form and stop growing at specific points in the follicle.
research Understanding and Addressing Hair Disorders in Transgender Individuals
Hormone therapy affects hair growth in transgender individuals, with testosterone potentially causing hair loss in trans men and estrogen reducing facial/body hair in trans women; treatment options vary.
research Differential diagnosis of hair loss in children. Differentialdiagnose des Haarausfalls bei Kindern
The document concludes that early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for children with hair loss to prevent permanent damage, although not all conditions can be effectively treated.
research Traction Alopecia
Tight hairstyles, especially on chemically treated hair, can cause reversible hair loss if caught early but may become permanent if not addressed.
research Parkinson's disease and skin
Parkinson's disease is linked to skin disorders and skin cells help in studying the disease.
research Medicalisation, pharmaceutical promotion and the Internet: a critical multimodal discourse analysis of hair loss websites
Commercial hair loss websites promote Propecia by making men feel insecure about baldness and suggesting it's a medical issue needing treatment.
research Intralesional therapy for the treatment of keratoacanthoma
Intralesional therapy for keratoacanthoma is effective and has fewer side effects than systemic treatments.
research Stem cells and aberrant signaling of molecular systems in skin aging
Skin aging is caused by stem cell damage and can potentially be delayed with treatments like antioxidants and stem cell therapy.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cell behavior by the niche microenvironment
The environment around melanocyte stem cells is key for hair regeneration and color, with certain injuries affecting hair color and potential treatments for pigmentation disorders.
research Rooster feathering, androgenic alopecia, and hormone-dependent tumor growth: What is in common?
Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.
research Histologic progression of acne inversa/hidradenitis suppurativa: Implications for future investigations and therapeutic intervention
Acne inversa is an epithelial-driven disease where inflammation is caused by cyst rupture, and treatments should focus on preventing tendril growth for better results.
research Deciphering principles of morphogenesis from temporal and spatial patterns on the integument
The conclusion is that skin and hair patterns are formed by a mix of cell activities, molecular signals, and environmental factors.
research Perspectives on Hair Evolution Based on Some Comparative Studies on Vertebrate Cornification
Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.
research "You Need a Makeover!": The Social Construction of Female Body Image in "A Makeover Story", W"hat Not to Wear", and "Extreme Makeover"
