HPV type 56 can hide in hair follicles even without visible warts.
research Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ signalling protects hair follicle stem cells from chemotherapy-induced apoptosis and epithelial–mesenchymal transition
Activating PPAR-γ signalling can protect hair follicle stem cells from damage caused by chemotherapy.
research An osteopontin‐derived peptide inhibits human hair growth at least in part by decreasing fibroblast growth factor‐7 production in outer root sheath keratinocytes
FOL-005 peptide can reduce human hair growth by lowering FGF7 levels.
research Dopamine is a novel, direct inducer of catagen in human scalp hair folliclesin vitro
Dopamine stops hair growth and pigment production in human scalp hair follicles.
research Micro-determination of cyclic AMP levels in human epidermis, dermis and hair follicles
A new method accurately measures cyclic AMP levels in small skin and hair samples.
research The walking dead: sequential nuclear and organelle destruction during hair development
Cells in hair die by breaking down their DNA and mitochondria as they form keratin.
research Hair shaft abnormalities after chemotherapy and tamoxifen therapy in patients with breast cancer evaluated by optical coherence tomography
Chemotherapy can cause significant hair thinning and changes in hair texture, while tamoxifen has a smaller effect.
research Characterization of dermal type I collagen of C3H mouse at different stages of the hair cycle
Collagen remodeling is more active during hair growth stages.
research The stimulation of hair growth in the flank organs of female hamsters by subcutaneous testosterone propionate and its inhibition by topical cyproterone acetate: dose-response studies
Testosterone increases hamster hair growth; cyproterone acetate reduces it.
research Female pattern hair loss: beyond an androgenic aetiology?
Estrogen and prolactin may play bigger roles in female hair loss than previously thought.
research The use of scalp cooling for chemotherapy-induced hair loss
Scalp cooling can help prevent hair loss from chemotherapy without raising cancer spread risk.
research New effects of caffeine on corticotropin‐releasing hormone (CRH)‐induced stress along the intrafollicular classical hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis (CRH‐R1/2, IP3‐R, ACTH, MC‐R2) and the neurogenic non‐HPA axis (substance P, p75NTRand TrkA) inex vivohuman male androgenetic scalp hair follicles
Caffeine may help reduce stress-induced hair loss.
research Is methotrexate an effective and safe treatment for maintaining hair regrowth in people with alopecia totalis? A Critically Appraised Topic
Methotrexate's effectiveness for maintaining hair regrowth in alopecia totalis is unclear due to limited and biased data.
research Isoxazole 9 (ISX9), a small molecule targeting Axin, activates Wnt/β‐catenin signalling and promotes hair regrowth
Isoxazole 9 (ISX9) may help regrow hair by activating certain cell signals.
research Expression of extracellular matrix in hair follicle mesenchyme in alopecia areata
Alopecia areata may involve disrupted mesenchymal function in hair follicles.
research Hydroxylation of dehydroepiandrosterone in human scalp hair folhcles
The enzyme system in hair follicles is similar to the liver's and is affected by certain inhibitors.
research Induction of hair growth by skin irritants and its relation to skin protein kinase C isoforms
Skin irritants can promote hair growth by affecting specific skin proteins.
research Acquired progressive kinking of the hair in a prepubertal boy
A 10-year-old boy had the earliest reported case of hair that became progressively kinkier but eventually returned to normal on its own.
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.
