research Central Opioid Inhibition of Neuroendocrine Stress Responses in Pregnancy in the Rat Is Induced by the Neurosteroid Allopregnanolone
In late pregnancy, allopregnanolone reduces stress responses in rats by affecting brain chemicals.
research Neurogenic Inflammation in Stress-Induced Termination of Murine Hair Growth Is Promoted by Nerve Growth Factor
Stress increases a factor in mice that leads to hair loss, and blocking this factor may prevent it.
research WNT10A mutation causes ectodermal dysplasia by impairing progenitor cell proliferation and KLF4-mediated differentiation
A WNT10A gene mutation leads to ectodermal dysplasia by disrupting cell growth and differentiation.
research A role for p75 neurotrophin receptor in the control of apoptosis‐driven hair follicle regression
The p75 neurotrophin receptor is important for hair follicle regression by controlling cell death.
research Corticosterone inhibits GAS6 to govern hair follicle stem-cell quiescence
Stress hormone corticosterone blocks a growth factor to slow down hair stem cell activity and hair growth.
research Reversing wrinkled skin and hair loss in mice by restoring mitochondrial function
Restoring mitochondrial function in mice reversed their skin wrinkling and hair loss.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor β2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research Intravital imaging of hair follicle regeneration in the mouse
Two-photon microscopy helps observe hair follicle stem cell behaviors in mice.
research High proliferation and delamination during skin epidermal stratification
High proliferation and cell delamination drive early skin development, while later stages may not rely on cell division orientation.
research Glutamine Metabolism Controls Stem Cell Fate Reversibility and Long-Term Maintenance in the Hair Follicle
Glutamine metabolism affects hair stem cell maintenance and their ability to change back to stem cells.
research Red Ginseng Extract Promotes the Hair Growth in Cultured Human Hair Follicles
Red Ginseng Extract may help human hair grow by activating growth pathways and blocking negative effects of certain hormones.
research Genome-wide meta-analysis implicates mediators of hair follicle development and morphogenesis in risk for severe acne
Genetic variations affecting skin structure play a key role in severe acne.
research Induction of Hair Growth by Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 in 1,763 MHz Radiofrequency-Irradiated Hair Follicle Cells
Radiofrequency exposure can stimulate hair growth by increasing IGF-1 in hair follicle cells.
research Polarity signaling ensures epidermal homeostasis by coupling cellular mechanics and genomic integrity
Par3 protein is essential for skin cell balance and stability.
research Knock-Down of Arabidopsis PLC5 Reduces Primary Root Growth and Secondary Root Formation While Overexpression Improves Drought Tolerance and Causes Stunted Root Hair Growth
Changing the amount of PLC5 in Arabidopsis affects root growth and drought resistance, with less PLC5 slowing root growth and more PLC5 improving drought tolerance but hindering root hair growth.
research De novo single-nucleotide and copy number variation in discordant monozygotic twins reveals disease-related genes
The research found genetic differences in identical twins that could explain why one twin has a disease while the other does not.
