Noggin is necessary to start the hair growth phase in skin after birth.
research HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis in transgender women: a subgroup analysis of the iPrEx trial
PrEP for HIV is less effective in transgender women mainly due to low adherence to the treatment.
research Skin and hair on-a-chip: in vitro skin models versus ex vivo tissue maintenance with dynamic perfusion
The Multi-Organ-Chip improves the growth and quality of skin and hair in the lab, potentially replacing animal testing.
research Ultrafast Mid-IR Laser Scalpel: Protein Signals of the Fundamental Limits to Minimally Invasive Surgery

research Prostaglandin D 2 Inhibits Hair Growth and Is Elevated in Bald Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
PGD2 stops hair growth and is higher in bald men with AGA.
research Overexpression of activin A in the skin of transgenic mice reveals new activities of activin in epidermal morphogenesis, dermal fibrosis and wound repair
Overexpression of activin A in mice skin causes skin thickening, fibrosis, and improved wound healing.
research Bioengineering skin using mechanisms of regeneration and repair
Artificial skin development has challenges, but new materials and understanding cell behavior could improve tissue repair. Also, certain growth factors and hydrogel technology show promise for advanced skin replacement therapies.
research Metformin: an old medication of new fashion: evolving new molecular mechanisms and clinical implications in polycystic ovary syndrome
Metformin helps manage polycystic ovary syndrome by improving insulin resistance and ovulation, but more research is needed on its full effects.
research APCDD1 is a novel Wnt inhibitor mutated in hereditary hypotrichosis simplex
A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.
research Sex differences in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis’ response to stress: an important role for gonadal hormones
Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.
research Conditional Disruption of Hedgehog Signaling Pathway Defines its Critical Role in Hair Development and Regeneration
The hedgehog signaling pathway is crucial for hair growth but not for the initial creation of hair follicles.
research Volatile signalling by sesquiterpenes from ectomycorrhizal fungi reprogrammes root architecture
Fungi-produced compounds can change plant root growth.
research A Therapeutic Microneedle Patch Made from Hair-Derived Keratin for Promoting Hair Regrowth
A new microneedle patch made from hair proteins helps regrow hair faster and better than current treatments.
research ELECTRON MICROSCOPE STUDIES OF HAIR AND WOOL
Hair and wool have complex microscopic structures with microfibrils and varying cystine content.
research Proteomic analysis of human mesenchymal stromal cell secretomes: a systematic comparison of the angiogenic potential
Wharton's jelly secretomes are best for promoting blood vessel growth.
research Biology of estrogens in skin: implications for skin aging
Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.
research COVID-19 and Sex Differences
Men are more likely to have severe COVID-19 cases and fatalities than women due to factors like lifestyle, aging, and biological differences.
research Melatonin: A Cutaneous Perspective on its Production, Metabolism, and Functions
Melatonin may benefit skin health and could be a promising treatment in dermatology.
research Vitamin D metabolism and function in the skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
research Alopecia Areata: A tissue specific autoimmune disease of the hair follicle
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss due to the immune system attacking hair follicles, often influenced by genetics and stress.
research ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling during mammalian development
ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes are crucial for gene regulation, cell differentiation, and organ development in mammals.
research Epigenetic control of adult stem cell function
Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.
research Summary of the Recommendations on Sexual Dysfunctions in Women
Experts recommend thorough medical, sexual, and psychosocial assessments for women's sexual dysfunctions, and suggest individualized treatment plans with regular check-ups. They also mention potential use of estrogen and androgen therapy, but with caution due to safety concerns.
research Erectile Dysfunction in Young Men—A Review of the Prevalence and Risk Factors
Erectile dysfunction is increasingly common in men under 40, with many physical and psychological causes, and various treatment options available.
research Cell-Type-Specific Chromatin States Differentially Prime Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tumor-Initiating Cells for Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
Different types of skin cells have unique genetic markers that affect how likely they are to spread cancer.
research A Hot New Twist to Hair Biology
Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, can slow down hair growth by affecting skin cells and hair follicles.
research Diverse mechanisms for endogenous regeneration and repair in mammalian organs
Mammalian organs regenerate using stem cells and cell plasticity, but this ability declines with age.
