research The hair cycle on the human thigh and upper arm
Men's thigh hair grows longer and has a longer growth cycle than women's, but arm hair growth is similar between genders.
research Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling Regulates Postnatal Hair Follicle Differentiation and Cycling
Blocking BMP signaling causes hair loss and disrupts hair growth cycles.
research Distinguishing Androgenetic Alopecia From Chronic Telogen Effluvium When Associated in the Same Patient
Shorter, thinner hairs indicate AGA, while longer, thicker hairs suggest CTE; counting and measuring shed hairs helps diagnose hair loss type.
research Serum Ferritin and Vitamin D in Female Hair Loss: Do They Play a Role?
Low iron and vitamin D levels are linked to hair loss in women.
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 HAIR AND SYSTEMATIC DISEASE
Hair loss can indicate underlying systemic diseases and addressing these can sometimes reverse the hair loss.
research p63: a crucial player in epithelial stemness regulation
p63 is essential for controlling epithelial stem cells and tissue health.
research Cyclic dynamics of hair follicles and the effect of minoxidil on the bald scalps of stumptailed macaques
Minoxidil helps grow longer, thicker hair in bald scalps of stumptailed macaques, and early treatment is more effective.
research An Overview of Alopecias
The document explains different types of hair loss, their causes, and treatments, and suggests future research areas.
research 8 Hair follicles and associated glands as androgen targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Thehairless gene of the mouse: Relationship of phenotypic effects with expression profile and genotype
Mutations in the hairless gene in mice affect its expression and lead to a range of developmental issues in multiple tissues.
research Prolactin: an emerging force along the cutaneous–endocrine axis
Prolactin may play a significant role in skin and hair health and could be a target for treating skin and hair disorders.
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 The antiandrogen enzalutamide downregulates TMPRSS2 and reduces cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 in human lung cells
The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.
research An Approach to the Patient with Hirsutism
The document concludes with guidance for doctors on diagnosing and treating hirsutism effectively and safely.
research Overexpression of Bcl-2 Protects from Ultraviolet B-Induced Apoptosis but Promotes Hair Follicle Regression and Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Bcl-2 overexpression protects against UVB damage but worsens hair loss from chemotherapy.
research Biology of Hair Growth
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.
research α3β1-integrin regulates hair follicle but not interfollicular morphogenesis in adult epidermis
α3β1-integrin is crucial for maintaining normal hair follicle shape and function but not needed for the development of the surrounding skin.
research Organotypic Skin Culture
Organotypic culture systems can grow skin tissues that mimic real skin functions and are useful for skin disease and hair growth research, but they don't fully replicate skin complexity.
research Are sex discordant outcomes in COVID-19 related to sex hormones?
Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with men often faring worse, and targeting related pathways could offer treatment options.
research Male pattern baldness: current treatments, future prospects
Current treatments for male pattern baldness include minoxidil and finasteride, with new options being developed.
research Androgen modulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in androgenetic alopecia
Androgens may block hair growth signals, targeting this could treat hair loss.
research Objective outcome measures: Collecting meaningful data on alopecia areata
The document suggests using standardized methods to track and measure hair loss in alopecia areata, including patient self-assessment and a 50% improvement in specific scores as a treatment goal.
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 Effect of a nutritional supplement on hair loss in women
The nutritional supplement improved hair density and reduced hair loss in women with female pattern hair loss.
research Deciphering the functions of the hair follicle infundibulum in skin physiology and disease
The hair follicle infundibulum plays a key role in skin health and disease, and understanding it better could lead to new skin disease treatments.
research Hair Follicle Biology and Topical Minoxidil: Possible Mechanisms of Action
Minoxidil stimulates hair growth by increasing hair thickness and prolonging growth phase.
research Hair problems in women
