research Green fabrication of seedbed-like Flammulina velutipes polysaccharides–derived scaffolds accelerating full-thickness skin wound healing accompanied by hair follicle regeneration
Mushroom-based scaffolds help heal skin wounds and regrow hair.
research Effect of ethnicity and treatments on in situ tensile response and morphological changes of human hair characterized by atomic force microscopy
Different ethnicities and treatments affect human hair strength and structure.
research Biology of Human Hair: Know Your Hair to Control It
Understanding hair biology is key to developing better treatments for hair and scalp issues.
research Repair of damaged hair protein fiber by jointly using transglutaminase and keratin
Using an enzyme and keratin treatment can significantly repair and strengthen damaged hair.
research Drug Armamentarium for alopecia areata
No cure exists for alopecia areata, and treatments are personalized.
research Targeting the Wnt pathways for therapies
Blocking the Wnt pathway could lead to new treatments for cancer and tissue repair but requires careful development to avoid side effects.
research Transcriptional profiling in alopecia areata defines immune and cell cycle control related genes within disease-specific signatures
The study found that immune responses disrupt hair growth cycles, causing hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Fadrozole and finasteride exposures modulate sex steroid- and thyroid hormone-related gene expression in Silurana (Xenopus) tropicalis early larval development
Fadrozole and finasteride change gene expression related to sex hormones and thyroid hormones in frog larvae development.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: An update
The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
research Integral hair lipid in human hair follicle
Human hair has a protective lipid layer that can be damaged by moisture and treatments, affecting hair growth and health.
research Role of stem/progenitor cells in reparative disorders
Adult stem cells are important for tissue repair and have therapeutic potential, but more research is needed to fully use them.
research Identification of transcriptional targets of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in dermal papilla cells of human scalp hair follicles: EP2 is a novel transcriptional target of Wnt3a
Wnt3a activates certain genes in hair follicle cells, including a newly discovered one, EP2, which may affect hair growth.
research The role of R-spondins and their receptors in bone metabolism
R-spondins and their receptors help increase bone growth and may be used to treat bone loss diseases.
research Consumption of a low-carbohydrate and high-fat diet (the ketogenic diet) exaggerates biotin deficiency in mice
The ketogenic diet can worsen biotin deficiency, suggesting a need for biotin supplements.
research Hair resistance to mechanical wear
Hair's resistance to wear varies by ethnicity and treatment, with less wear indicating stronger hair.
research Isolation and characterization of recombinant murine Wnt3a
Scientists successfully purified a protein called Wnt3a, which is involved in processes like hair growth, but the overall yield was low, suggesting more work is needed to improve this.
research The role of hair follicles and Edar signalling in cutaneous wound healing
Activating the Eda/Edar pathway improves wound healing by enhancing hair follicle growth.
research Chemically Induced Hair Loss/Alopecia
Some chemicals and drugs can cause hair loss, which usually grows back after stopping the treatment.
research The Therapeutic Use of Topical Minoxidil
Minoxidil effectively treats hair loss, with better results in women.
research Reactive keratin derivatives: A promising strategy for covalent binding to hair
Modified keratin binds better to hair, especially bleached hair.
research Topical Minoxidil in the Treatment of Male Pattern Alopecia
Minoxidil can help thicken hair in some people with male pattern baldness, especially if used early and continuously.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research Effect of Protein 'Hair Straightener" on Hair Shaft by Scanning Electron Microscopy
Protein hair straighteners damage the hair more than hair dyes.
research Properties of Partially Extracted Hairs and their Degradability by Proteases
Mf-rich hair degrades more than Ma-rich hair, especially with Proteinase K.
research pH Dependence of the Coiled-Coil Structure of Keratin Intermediate Filament in Human Hair by 13C NMR Spectroscopy and the Mechanism of Its Disruption
Keratin structure in hair is stable at pH 5-6 but disrupts between pH 6-7.
research A Keratin Fiber Sheath
Hair fibers may have a unique, non-protein sheath not previously identified.
research Female pattern hair loss: A clinical, pathophysiologic, and therapeutic review
No cure for female pattern hair loss, but various effective treatments exist.
research Mechanisms of hepatocyte attachment to keratin biomaterials
Human liver cells stick to hair protein materials mainly through the liver's asialoglycoprotein receptor.
