research Hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent: an overview
The document concludes that clinicians should be aware of common hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent and that more research is needed to develop effective treatments.
research The proteomic profile of hair damage
Bleaching hair damages protein structure, especially keratin, leading to weakened hair.
research Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms and severe involvement of digestive tract: description of two cases
Severe digestive issues in DRESS need early endoscopy for better treatment.
research A comparison of the culture and growth of dermal papilla cells from hair follicles from non-balding and balding (androgenetic alopecia) scalp
Balding hair follicle cells are smaller, grow less well, and need more effort to culture than non-balding cells.
research Diffuse hypertrichosis during treatment with 5% topical minoxidil
5% topical minoxidil can cause severe body hair growth, which disappears after stopping treatment.
research Patients with bullous skin disease in a high‐epidemic COVID‐19 area, Bergamo, Italy
Oral mTOR inhibitors often cause skin and hair side effects but usually don't require stopping treatment.
research Computerized morphometry and three-dimensional image reconstruction in the evaluation of scalp biopsy from patients with non-cicatricial alopecias
The study suggests computer-assisted analysis of scalp biopsies could improve hair loss diagnosis but needs more validation.
research Epimorphin expression during human foetal hair follicle development
Epimorphin, a protein, plays a key role in the development of hair follicles in human fetuses, but it doesn't help in maintaining the stem cell population of the follicular skin layer.
research Is the metabolism of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone required for androgen action in the skin?
Testosterone conversion to 5α-DHT may not be essential for its effects on the skin.
research Primary cutaneous follicle centre cell lymphoma of the scalp presenting with scarring alopecia
A woman with scalp lymphoma and hair loss improved with radiotherapy, highlighting the need for biopsies in similar cases.
research The induction by topical minoxidil of increased fenestration in the perifollicular capillary wall
Minoxidil increased small openings in blood vessel walls near growing hair in rats.
research Activity of type 1 5α-reductase is greater in the follicular infrainfundibulum compared with the epidermis
The enzyme type 1 5α-reductase is more active in the hair follicle's lower part than in the skin's outer layer.
research Androgenic effect of testosterone and some of its metabolites in relation to their biotransformation in the skin.
Testosterone and some of its forms can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in skin.
research Brain-derived nerve factor and neurotrophins in androgenetic alopecia
Lower growth factors linked to balding in androgenetic alopecia.
research Physiological changes in scalp, facial and body hair after the menopause: a cross-sectional population-based study of subjective changes
After menopause, some women lose scalp hair and gain facial hair, with patterns suggesting different underlying causes.
research A controlled study of the effects of RU58841, a non-steroidal antiandrogen, on human hair production by balding scalp grafts maintained on testosterone-conditioned nude mice
RU58841 significantly increases hair growth rate and initiates more hair cycles, but doesn't affect hair thickness, suggesting it could be a new treatment for baldness.
research Low‐dose oral minoxidil improves global hair density and length in children with loose anagen hair syndrome
Low-dose oral minoxidil increases hair thickness and length in children with a hair disorder called Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome.
research Morphological and morphometric study of the androgenetic alopecic scalp using two- and three-dimensional analysis comparing regional differences
The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.
research The impact of human immunodeficiency virus-related diseases on pigmented skin types
HIV can cause skin disorders, which are often the first sign of infection, especially in people with darker skin.
research Both low circulating insulin-like growth factor-1 and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol are associated with hair loss in middle-aged women
Low IGF-1 and high HDL cholesterol levels are linked to more hair loss in middle-aged women.
research Successful rapid subcutaneous desensitization to anakinra in a case of delayed‐type hypersensitivity reaction
A woman with a drug allergy to anakinra was successfully desensitized, allowing her to continue treatment without allergic reactions.
research Increased retinol‐binding protein (RBP) 4 and anti‐RBP4 antibody in alopecia areata
People with alopecia areata have higher levels of RBP4 protein and antibodies against it.
research Topical fulvestrant solution has no effect on male and postmenopausal female androgenetic alopecia: results from two randomized, proof-of-concept studies
Fulvestrant solution doesn't help hair loss in men and postmenopausal women.
research Significance of iron status in hair loss in women
Iron deficiency might contribute to hair loss in women.
research Impaired responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to T-cell stimulants in alopecia areata patients with a poor response to topical immunotherapy
Poor response to topical immunotherapy in alopecia areata patients is linked to impaired cell responses.
research Hair-follicle dermal papilla and sheath fibroblasts provide a supportive microenvironment for human skin regeneration
Certain cells around hair follicles help improve skin regeneration for potential use in skin grafts.
research Lifting the biofilm lid on the antibacterial and antibiofilm effects of sodium hypochlorite against Staphylococcus aureus in atopic dermatitis
Sodium hypochlorite can effectively prevent and remove Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in atopic dermatitis at high enough concentrations.
research Female pattern hair loss, biological ageing and the Leiden Longevity study
Women with aging signs and heart issues have higher hair loss risk, which may predict shorter lifespan and affect attractiveness.
research Follicles, fungi and scalp conditions
