research Capturing Stem Cell Behavior Using Intravital and Live Cell Microscopy
Stem cells are more dynamic and adaptable than previously believed.
research Three-dimensional reconstructions of mechanosensory end organs suggest a unifying mechanism underlying dynamic, light touch
Dynamic, light touch is sensed through a common mechanism involving Piezo2 channels in sensory axons.
research In vivo imaging of mammary epithelial cell dynamics in response to lineage-biased Wnt/β-catenin activation
Activating β-catenin in mammary cells leads to changes that cause early-stage abnormal growths similar to skin structures.
research Newly born mesenchymal cells disperse through a rapid mechanosensitive migration
Newly born mesenchymal cells quickly spread out in response to tissue tension during early development.
research Involvement of ILC1-like innate lymphocytes in human autoimmunity, lessons from alopecia areata
ILC1-like cells can cause alopecia areata by attacking hair follicles.
research Steroidogenic factor-1 lineage origin of skin lesions in Carney complex syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney complex are likely caused by a specific group of skin cells that promote pigment production due to a genetic mutation.
research The molecular link between auxin and ROS-Mediated polar root hair growth
Plant root hair growth is controlled by the hormone auxin, which affects the production of certain oxygen-related molecules through a specific process.
research Hair follicles’ transit-amplifying cells govern concurrent dermal adipocyte production through Sonic Hedgehog
Cells in hair follicles help create fat cells in the skin by releasing a protein called Sonic Hedgehog.
research Psychological effects of androgenetic alopecia on women: Comparisons with balding men and with female control subjects
Hair loss affects women's mental health more than men's, causing anxiety, low self-esteem, and social insecurity.
research Antidepressants have Anti-inflammatory Effects that may be Relevant to Dermatology: A Systematic Review
Antidepressants might help with skin inflammation and improve conditions like psoriasis and eczema.
research Activation of Cytoprotective Prostaglandin Synthase-1 by Minoxidil as a Possible Explanation for Its Hair Growth-Stimulating Effect
Minoxidil boosts hair growth by activating PGHS-1.
research Advances in Understanding Hair Growth
Understanding glycans and enzymes that alter them is key to controlling hair growth.
research The beneficial effects of Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepoL.) seed oil for health condition of men
Pumpkin seed oil may improve prostate health, bladder control, and hair growth in men.
research Physiology and Medical Treatments for Alopecia
Minoxidil, finasteride, and low-level laser light therapy are effective FDA-approved treatments for hair loss.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia: Iatrogenic endocrine disruption
Certain drugs and supplements may contribute to hair loss in the frontal hairline in older women.
research The Browning of White Adipose Tissue: Some Burning Issues
Turning white fat into brown-like fat could help fight obesity and type 2 diabetes.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research TRP Channels in Skin Biology and Pathophysiology
TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research Induction of transforming growth factor-beta 1 by androgen is mediated by reactive oxygen species in hair follicle dermal papilla cells
Androgens increase a growth factor in hair cells by creating reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants might help treat hair loss.
research Animal models of androgen-dependent disorders of the pilosebaceous apparatus
Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.
research Thyroid hormone action in epidermal development and homeostasis and its implications in the pathophysiology of the skin
Thyroid hormones are important for skin health and changes in them can affect conditions like hair loss and eczema.
research Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology ofZiziphus jujubaMills
Ziziphus jujuba Mills may have health benefits, but more research is needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness.
research Enhanced remyelination during late pregnancy: involvement of the GABAergic system
Late pregnancy helps repair brain damage in rats due to the GABAergic system.
research CD133-positive dermal papilla-derived Wnt ligands regulate postnatal hair growth
Wnt proteins from certain skin cells are crucial for normal hair growth and renewal.
research Potential Medical Uses of Cannabigerol: A Brief Overview
CBG may help with various medical conditions but needs more human research to confirm safety and effectiveness.
research Impact of taxol on dermal papilla cells — A proteomics and bioinformatics analysis
Taxol damages hair growth cells, causing hair loss.
research Primary cicatricial alopecias
The document concludes that early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing rare hair loss disorders and that more research is needed to improve treatment strategies.
research Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the human androgen receptor ligand-binding domain with a coactivator-like peptide and selective androgen receptor modulators
Scientists successfully created and analyzed the structure of a part of the human androgen receptor with specific modulators and a peptide to understand how it binds differently in various tissues.
