research Effects of non-ablative fractional erbium glass laser treatment on gene regulation in human three-dimensional skin models
Erbium glass laser treatment may help with skin remodeling, reduce inflammation, and improve skin cell maturation.
research Alopecia and platelet-derived therapies
Platelet lysate is more effective than activated autologous platelet-rich plasma or saline in improving hair growth after hair restoration surgery.
research ILK modulates epithelial polarity and matrix formation in hair follicles
ILK is essential for proper hair follicle development and structure.
research Bone vs. fat: Embryonic origin of progenitors determines response to androgen in adipocytes and osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research Maternal androgen excess induces cardiac hypertrophy and left ventricular dysfunction in female mice offspring
High levels of male hormones in pregnant mice cause heart enlargement and poor heart function in their female babies.
research The TOR–Auxin Connection Upstream of Root Hair Growth
High energy boosts root hair growth in plants, while low energy stops it.
research Clinical Case Seminar: Postmenopausal androgen excess-challenges in diagnostic work-up and management of ovarian thecosis
The conclusion is that removing both ovaries is the best treatment for excess male hormones in postmenopausal women, with medication as another option, and managing insulin resistance is important for diagnosis and treatment.
research Functional analyses of a novel missense and other mutations of the vitamin D receptor in association with alopecia
A single amino acid change in the vitamin D receptor can disrupt its function and lead to hair loss.
research Assessment of vitamin D receptors in alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia
Low vitamin D receptor levels found in hair loss patients; topical vitamin D treatment suggested.
research Normal and Aging Hair Biology and Structure ‘Aging and Hair'
Hair gets thinner, grayer, and changes texture with age due to genetics, environment, and cellular changes, affecting the growth cycle.
research A review of cellular biopreservation considerations during hair transplantation
Proper cell preservation is crucial for successful hair transplants and other medical treatments.
research Apocrine sweat gland obstruction by antiperspirants allowing transdermal absorption of cutaneous generated hormones and pheromones as a link to the observed incidence rates of breast and prostate cancer in the 20th century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.
research Simultaneous effects of tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) on local hair growth promotion and systemic absorption of topically applied minoxidil in a mouse model
Adding a small amount of TPGS to minoxidil can help hair growth, but too much TPGS reduces this effect and increases minoxidil in the blood.
research Chronic administration of minoxidil protects elastic fibers and stimulates their neosynthesis with improvement of the aorta mechanics in mice
Minoxidil helps protect and rebuild elastic fibers in arteries, improving artery function, especially in older females.
research Platelet sonicates activate hair follicle stem cells and mediate enhanced hair follicle regeneration
Sonicated platelet-rich plasma boosts hair growth by activating stem cells.
research The new paradigm for androgenetic alopecia and plant-based folk remedies: 5α-reductase inhibition, reversal of secondary microinflammation and improving insulin resistance
Plant-based remedies may treat hair loss by reducing inflammation and improving insulin resistance.
research Identification of key genes induced by platelet-rich plasma in human dermal papilla cells using bioinformatics methods
Platelet-rich plasma may help hair follicle cells grow by affecting certain genes and pathways.
research Case 21-2012
The patient was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa and severe malnutrition, requiring urgent refeeding and monitoring.
research The Effect of Parathyroid Hormones on Hair Follicle Physiology: Implications for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Parathyroid hormones are important for hair growth, but their use in treating hair loss from chemotherapy is still uncertain.
research Tamoxifen-Induced Female Androgenetic Alopecia in a Patient with Breast Cancer
Tamoxifen caused hair loss in a 52-year-old woman.
research Basic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. What endocrine systems could be implicated?
SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, can affect all endocrine organs and systems, altering their function and potentially leading to disorders. Factors like diabetes and obesity increase infection risk and severity. Understanding these effects is key for effective treatment.
research The mechanism of activated platelet‐rich plasma supernatant promotion of hair growth by cultured dermal papilla cells
Activated platelet-rich plasma helps hair growth by boosting growth factors and cell growth pathways in hair cells.
research Bilateral Eyelid Pseudoptosis From Lipogranulomas of the Preaponeurotic Fat Pads
Surgical removal of abnormal fat pads fixed the woman's eyelid issue caused by likely silicone injections.
research The preventive effect of vitamin D3 on radiation-induced hair toxicity in a rat model
Vitamin D3 may protect rat hair follicles from radiation damage.
research The concealed side of caspases: beyond a killer of cells
Caspases do more than kill cells; they also help in cell growth and disease, and targeting them could lead to new treatments.
research Micro needling: A novel therapeutic approach for androgenetic alopecia, A Review of Literature
Microneedling may help hair loss, but needs more research.
research Protective cardiovascular and renal actions of vitamin D and estrogen
Vitamin D and estrogen may help protect heart and kidney health, and maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels could be especially beneficial for African Americans, postmenopausal women, and people with chronic kidney disease.
research Glutamic acid promotes hair growth in mice
Glutamic acid helps increase hair growth in mice.
research Carvone Decreases Melanin Content by Inhibiting Melanoma Cell Proliferation via the Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) Pathway
