Alcohol extract from Vernonia anthelmintica seeds may help treat stress-related hair loss.
research 502 The stress-responsive secretory protein adrenomedullin 2 potently induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human hair follicles
Adrenomedullin 2 stops cell growth and causes cell death in human hair follicles.
research Delta Opioid Receptors Presynaptically Regulate Cutaneous Mechanosensory Neuron Input to the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn
Delta opioid receptors help regulate touch sensation by reducing neurotransmitter release in the spinal cord.
research Can the Hair Follicle Become a Model for Studying Selected Aspects of Human Ocular Immune Privilege?
Hair follicles could help develop eye treatments by studying immune responses.

research Topical gabapentin and its relation to cutaneous innervation in symptomatic lymphocytic primary cicatricial alopecia
Using a special skin cream with gabapentin helped reduce symptoms of a certain scalp condition but didn't change nerve fibers or skin chemicals.
research The human skin as a hormone target and an endocrine gland
Human skin acts like a hormone-producing organ, making and managing various hormones important for skin and hair health.
research Cephalalgic Alopecia Areata
Botulinum A toxin injections reduced pain and promoted hair regrowth in a woman with a rare form of alopecia areata.
research The protease corin regulates electrolyte homeostasis in eccrine sweat glands
