research Proinflammatory cytokines regulate epidermal stem cells in wound epithelialization
Certain immune system proteins are important for skin healing but can cause problems if there are too many of them.
research Emerging nonmetabolic functions of skin fat
Skin fat has important roles in hair growth, skin repair, immune defense, and aging, and could be targeted for skin and hair treatments.
research The role of macrophages in skin homeostasis
Macrophages are vital for skin healing, hair growth, salt balance, and cancer defense.
research Mechanical forces in skin disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research Primary cicatricial alopecia
The document concludes that early recognition and treatment of primary cicatricial alopecia is crucial to prevent permanent hair loss.
research Anti-Acne Agents Attenuate FGFR2 Signal Transduction in Acne
Anti-acne medications may work by reducing the activity of a protein involved in acne development.
research Prostaglandin metabolism in human hair follicle
Human hair follicles can make and process prostaglandins, which may affect hair growth.
research CXCR3 Blockade Inhibits T Cell Migration into the Skin and Prevents Development of Alopecia Areata
Blocking the CXCR3 receptor reduces T cell accumulation in the skin and prevents hair loss in mice.
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 External light activates hair follicle stem cells through eyes via an ipRGC–SCN–sympathetic neural pathway
Light can turn on hair growth cells through a nerve path starting in the eyes.
research Low level laser therapy and hair regrowth: an evidence-based review
Low-level laser therapy is safe and can increase hair growth for male and female pattern hair loss.
research Receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) stimulates the proliferation of epithelial cells of the epidermo-pilosebaceous unit
RANK-RANKL signaling is essential for hair growth and skin health.
research HAIR ANALYSIS FOR DRUGS OF ABUSE. PLAUSIBILITY OF INTERPRETATION
Hair analysis can detect drug use but requires careful interpretation due to its complexity.
research Apoptosis and cutaneous biology
Apoptosis is crucial for healthy skin and treating skin diseases.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Multi-layered environmental regulation on the homeostasis of stem cells: The saga of hair growth and alopecia
Environmental factors at different levels control hair stem cell activity, which could lead to new hair growth and alopecia treatments.
research The Role of Smads in Skin Development
Smad-4 and Smad-7 are key in hair follicle development, with other Smads being less important.
research The impact of oxidative stress on hair
Oxidative stress damages hair and contributes to aging, and managing it can help maintain hair health.
research The C3H/HeJ mouse and DEBR rat models for alopecia areata: review of preclinical drug screening approaches and results
Both mouse and rat models are effective for testing alopecia areata treatments.
research Pattern Hair Loss in Men
Male pattern hair loss caused by follicular miniaturization; early diagnosis and treatment can reduce psychological burden.
research Extracellular Matrix as a Regulator of Epidermal Stem Cell Fate
The extracellular matrix is crucial for controlling skin stem cell behavior and health.
research Stem cell plasticity enables hair regeneration following Lgr5+ cell loss
Hair can regrow after certain stem cells are lost because other stem cells can take over their role.
research Skin Keratins
Keratins are important for skin cell health and their problems can cause diseases.
research Drugs and Hair Loss
Some medications can cause hair loss, but stopping the drug usually leads to recovery within 3 months.
research Pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia
Male pattern baldness involves three mechanisms and finasteride can help reverse it.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
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 Endogenous retinoids in the hair follicle and sebaceous gland
