research Which chemicals should be grouped together for mixture risk assessments of male reproductive disorders?
Group a wide range of chemicals, not just phthalates, for assessing risks to male reproductive health.
research Evidence-based treatments for female pattern hair loss: a summary of a Cochrane systematic review
Minoxidil helps regrow hair in female pattern hair loss, but more research needed for other treatments.
research Hair through the female life cycle
Women's hair generally gets thinner and less dense starting in their mid-thirties, with hair loss becoming more common as they age due to both genetics and environment.
research Chronic telogen effluvium is due to a reduction in the variance of anagen duration
Chronic hair shedding may be caused by less variation in hair growth times and might stop on its own after several years.
research The mineralocorticoid receptor as a novel player in skin biology: beyond the renal horizon?
The mineralocorticoid receptor may play a role in skin and hair health and could be a new target for treating related disorders.
research Adipose mesenchymal stem cells combined with platelet-rich plasma accelerate diabetic wound healing by modulating the Notch pathway
Using fat stem cells and blood cell-rich plasma together improves healing in diabetic wounds by affecting cell signaling.
research Network-Based Drug Repositioning: Approaches, Resources, and Research Directions
The document concludes that computational methods using networks and various data can improve the process of finding new uses for existing drugs.
research 5-α-Reductase type 2 deficiency: is there a genotype-phenotype correlation? A review
No consistent link between genotype and phenotype in 5-α-Reductase type 2 deficiency.
research It's not all traction: the pseudo ‘fringe sign’ in frontal fibrosing alopecia
The pseudo 'fringe sign' can also appear in frontal fibrosing alopecia, not just in traction alopecia, showing that this condition may be more common than thought.
research Cyclophosphamide: As bad as its reputation? Long-term single centre experience of cyclophosphamide side effects in the treatment of systemic autoimmune diseases
Cyclophosphamide has serious side effects, but long-term follow-up can help manage risks.
research Hair loss and herbs for treatment
Herbs can potentially treat hair loss by inhibiting a key enzyme and promoting hair growth, and deficiencies in zinc, biotin, and iron are linked to hair loss.
research Tuning Wnt Signals for More or Fewer Hairs
Changing Wnt signaling can lead to more or less hair growth and might help treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research Ephrins Negatively Regulate Cell Proliferation in the Epidermis and Hair Follicle
Ephrins slow down skin and hair follicle cell growth.
research Anabolic-androgenic steroids and cardiovascular risk
Using steroids can increase the risk of heart problems.
research A Clinical and Biological Guide for Understanding Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia and Its Prevention
Scalp cooling can help prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss with a 50-90% success rate and is safe for patients.
research Aging in hair follicle stem cells and niche microenvironment
Aging in hair follicle stem cells leads to hair graying, thinning, and loss.
research A primer for studying cell cycle dynamics of the human hair follicle
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle cell cycles is crucial for hair growth and alopecia research, and recommends specific techniques and future research directions.
research TCL1 transgenic mouse model as a tool for the study of therapeutic targets and microenvironment in human B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia
The TCL1 transgenic mouse model is useful for understanding human B-cell leukemia and testing new treatments.
research The prolactin receptor as a therapeutic target in human diseases: browsing new potential indications
Blocking the prolactin receptor might help treat various diseases, but more research is needed.
research Hormonal changes in menopause: do they contribute to a ‘midlife hair crisis’ in women?
Menopause-related hormonal changes affect hair but are not the only cause of hair changes in middle-aged women.
research Clinical, histopathological and immunological characteristics of exfoliative cutaneous lupus erythematosus in 25 German short‐haired pointers
A disease causing skin issues in young adult German short-haired pointers is hereditary, with most affected dogs not responding to treatment.
research Hirsutism
Hirsutism is excessive male-pattern hair growth in women, often caused by hormonal imbalances, and requires ongoing treatment to manage.
research Spironolactone: An Anti-androgenic and Anti-hypertensive Drug That May Provide Protection Against the Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19
Spironolactone might help protect against severe lung problems in COVID-19 patients.
research Macrophages Promote Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Regeneration in a CX3CR1- and TGF-β1–Dependent Manner
Macrophages help hair growth after injury through CX3CR1 and TGF-β1.
research Treatment of permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia with low dose oral minoxidil
Low dose oral minoxidil helps regrow hair in permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia.
research Epigenetic control of skin and hair regeneration after wounding
Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.
research Procyanidin B‐3, isolated from barley and identified as a hair‐growth stimulant, has the potential to counteract inhibitory regulation by TGF‐β1
Barley extract, specifically procyanidin B-3, can promote hair growth and counteract growth inhibition.
