research To grow or not to grow: Hair morphogenesis and human genetic hair disorders
Genetic mutations can cause hair growth disorders by affecting key genes and signaling pathways.
research Differential sensitivity of epidermal cell subpopulations to β-catenin-induced ectopic hair follicle formation
Sebaceous glands can form new hair follicles when activated, but hair follicle bulges cannot.
research Characterization of Hair Follicle Development in Engineered Skin Substitutes
Engineered skin substitutes can grow hair but have limitations like missing sebaceous glands and hair not breaking through the skin naturally.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration in Skin Grafts: Current Concepts and Future Perspectives
Hair follicle regeneration in skin grafts may be possible using stem cells and tissue engineering.
research Hair Follicle Biology and Topical Minoxidil: Possible Mechanisms of Action
Minoxidil stimulates hair growth by increasing hair thickness and prolonging growth phase.
research Mesotherapy: What is new?
Mesotherapy shows promise for cellulite and facial rejuvenation but has mixed results for body sculpting and hair loss, with more research needed for safety and effectiveness.
research Keratin formation in the hair follicle
Keratin fibrils in hair form and stop growing at specific points in the follicle.
research Melatonin promotes Cashmere goat (Capra hircus) secondary hair follicle growth: a view from integrated analysis of long non-coding and coding RNAs
Melatonin helps Cashmere goats grow more hair by affecting certain genes and cell pathways.
research A systematic summary of survival and death signalling during the life of hair follicle stem cells
The conclusion is that understanding how hair follicle stem cells live or die is important for maintaining healthy tissue and repairing injuries, and could help treat hair loss, but there are still challenges to overcome.
research Evidence for various calcium sites in human hair shaft revealed by sub-micrometer X-ray fluorescence
The research found two types of calcium in human hair, one that varies among individuals and another that is consistent across people.
research Adenosine stimulates growth of dermal papilla and lengthens the anagen phase by increasing the cysteine level via fibroblast growth factors 2 and 7 in an organ culture of mouse vibrissae hair follicles
Adenosine helps hair grow longer and stronger by boosting certain growth factors and signaling pathways.
research Engineering the niche for hair regeneration — A critical review
Further research is needed to improve hair regeneration using stem cells and nanomaterials.
research Enhancing hair growth in male androgenetic alopecia by a combination of fractional CO2 laser therapy and hair growth factors
Laser therapy and hair growth factors significantly improve hair density in male baldness.
research Harnessing neuroendocrine controls of keratin expression: A new therapeutic strategy for skin diseases?
Using neurohormones to control keratin can lead to new skin disease treatments.
research The hair follicle enigma
The document concludes that understanding hair follicles requires more research using computational methods and an integrative approach, considering the current limitations in hair treatment products.
research Discrimination between basal cell carcinoma and hair follicles in skin tissue sections by Raman micro-spectroscopy
Raman micro-spectroscopy can help distinguish basal cell carcinoma from hair follicles in skin tissue.
research Local structure of human hair spatially resolved by sub-micron X-ray beam
Human hair has a new region with ordered filaments and the cuticle contains β-keratin sheets.
research Getting to the Core of the Dermal Papilla
The document concludes that understanding dermal papilla cells is key to improving hair regeneration treatments.
research Activation of the OVOL1-OVOL2 Axis in the Hair Bulb and in Pilomatricoma
The genes OVOL1 and OVOL2 are important for hair growth and may be involved in a type of skin tumor.
research Regulation of Hair Shedding by the Type 3 IP3 Receptor
The type 3 IP3 receptor is important for controlling hair loss and growth.
research Mechanical stimuli-induced CCL2 restores adult mouse cells to regenerate hair follicles
Mechanical stimuli and CCL2 can help regenerate hair follicles in adult mice.
research Keratin‐based particles for protection and restoration of hair properties
Keratin-based particles safely improve hair strength, smoothness, and heat protection.
research Investigation of hair shaft in seborrheic dermatitis using atomic force microscopy
Hair from people with seborrheic dermatitis is thicker scaled, more damaged, and thinner than healthy hair, and atomic force microscopy can help monitor the condition.
research IMMUNOPATHOLOGY OF THE HUMAN HAIR FOLLICLE
The document concludes that immune system abnormalities cause alopecia areata, but the exact process is still not completely understood.
research MSC-EVs and UCB-EVs promote skin wound healing and spatial transcriptome analysis
MSC-EVs and UCB-EVs improve skin wound healing and reduce scarring.
research Lipid loses and barrier function modifications of the brown‐to‐white hair transition
White hair has less lipid content and absorbs water differently than brown hair.
research Microscopical characterization of known postmortem root bands using light and scanning electron microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Mouse Hair Cycle Expression Dynamics Modeled as Coupled Mesenchymal and Epithelial Oscillators
The study concluded that hair growth in mice is regulated by a stable interaction between skin cell types, and disrupting this can cause hair loss.
