research Planar cell polarity-dependent and independent functions in the emergence of tissue-scale hair follicle patterns
Mice can correct hair follicle orientation without certain genes, but proper overall alignment needs those genes.

Testosterone and DHEA can benefit women's health but must be prescribed carefully due to potential risks.
research Friends Turned Foes: Angiogenic Growth Factors beyond Angiogenesis
Some growth factors, while important for normal body functions, can cause diseases when not regulated properly.
research Persistent Sexual and Nonsexual Adverse Effects of Finasteride in Younger Men
Finasteride can cause sexual problems and depression in young men.
research Peripheral blood gene expression in alopecia areata reveals molecular pathways distinguishing heritability, disease and severity
Blood tests can help understand the genetic differences in people with alopecia areata, including how severe it is and if it's inherited.
research Estrogen-Dependent Ontogeny of Sex Differences in Somatostatin Neurons of the Hypothalamic Periventricular Nucleus*
Male rats have more somatostatin neurons than females due to testosterone converting to estrogen during early development.
research No metabolic impact of surgical normalization of hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women with ovarian androgen-secreting tumours
Surgery to lower high testosterone in postmenopausal women with certain ovarian tumors doesn't significantly affect their metabolism.
research Old Wine in New Bottles: Reviving Old Therapies for Alopecia Areata Using Rodent Models
Old treatments for other skin conditions showed promise for hair regrowth in mice with a hair loss condition.
research Transforming Growth Factor-??, Smad, and Collagen Expression Patterns in Fetal and Adult Keratinocytes
Keratinocytes show more TGF-β system activity and collagen production as they age, which might affect wound scarring.
research Intraovarian platelet-rich plasma administration could improve blastocyst euploidy rates in women undergoing in vitro fertilization
Platelet-rich plasma may improve embryo genetics in IVF.
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 Hair growth promoting effect of bioactive extract from deer antler velvet-loaded niosomes and microspicules serum
Deer antler velvet serum helps hair grow and is safe for skin.
research Mouse Spermatogenesis Reflects the Unity and Diversity of Tissue Stem Cell Niche Systems
Mouse spermatogenesis shows that stem cells can behave flexibly and move widely in open environments.
research Androgen deprivation therapy may constitute a more effective COVID-19 prophylactic than therapeutic strategy
Androgen deprivation therapy might be better for preventing COVID-19 than treating it.
research Ppp2r2a Knockout Mice Reveal That Protein Phosphatase 2A Regulatory Subunit, PP2A-B55α, Is an Essential Regulator of Neuronal and Epidermal Embryonic Development
The PP2A-B55α protein is essential for brain and skin development in embryos.
research Quantitative proteomic analysis of dermal papilla from male androgenetic alopecia comparing before and after treatment with low‐level laser therapy
Low-level laser therapy improves hair growth and dermal papilla cell function.
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 Effects of Food-Derived Collagen Peptides on the Expression of Keratin and Keratin-Associated Protein Genes in the Mouse Skin
Eating collagen peptides may help with skin and hair growth.
research Androgenetic alopecia
Various treatments exist for hair loss, but more research is needed for better options.
research Lineage Tracing of Hair Follicle Stem Cells in Epidermal Whole Mounts
The method allows for 3D tracking of hair follicle stem cells and shows they can regenerate hair for up to 180 days.
research Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals the Molecular Anatomy of Sheep Hair Follicle Heterogeneity and Wool Curvature
