180-210 / 1000+ results research A folliculocentric perspective of dandruff pathogenesis: Could a troublesome condition be caused by changes to a natural secretory mechanism?
Dandruff might be caused by changes in how hair follicles naturally release oils and an immune response to this imbalance.
research The Chronic Thermal Stress Model of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Unified Environmental–Vascular–Molecular Hypothesis
DHT increases scalp heat, causing hair loss.
research CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Regulatory Tregs inhibit fibrocyte recruitment and fibrosis via suppression of FGF-9 production in the TGF-β1 exposed murine lung
Special immune cells called Tregs can help prevent lung scarring by blocking a specific growth factor.
research Downregulation of nuclear factor-kappaB activation in human keratinocytes by melanogenesis inhibitors
Melanogenesis inhibitors like kojic acid and niacinamide can reduce inflammation and pigment production in skin cells.
research Understanding The Molecular Mechanisms Of Hair Follicle Stem Cell Quiescence And Genome Plasticity
Runx1 and CDK inhibitors help keep hair follicle stem cells inactive, affecting their future roles.
research 880 Gasdermin A3-mediated cell death causes niche collapse and precocious activation of hair follicle stem cells
Gasdermin A3 causes hair follicle stem cells to activate too early, leading to hair loss.
research The Effect of Dimethyl Sulfoxide on Percutaneous Absorption: A Mechanistic Study, Part III
DMSO causes reversible swelling in hair but has a complex, less reversible effect on skin.
research Cytokines and growth factors influence hair growth in vitro. Possible implications for the pathogenesis and treatment of alopecia areata
Certain cytokines and growth factors can inhibit hair growth and may affect alopecia areata.
research Marangoni effect in the water wetting of surfactant coated human hair fibers
The study found that the Marangoni effect causes the uneven wetting of surfactant-coated hair due to the surfactant moving into the water.
research Cytokines and growth factors influence hair growth in vitro. Possible implications for the pathogenesis and treatment of alopecia areata
Certain cytokines and growth factors can stop hair growth and may play a role in alopecia areata.
research In the Absence of Streptomycin, Minoxidil Potentiates the Mitogenic Effects of Fetal Calf Serum, Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1, and Platelet-Derived Growth Factor on NIH 3T3 Fibroblasts in a K + Channel-Dependent Fashion
research The Thinning Top: Why Old People Have Less Hair
Old people have less hair because their hair follicles don't regenerate as well, not because of fewer stem cells, and a protein called follistatin might help reactivate hair growth.
research Hair growth inhibition by psychoemotional stress: a mouse model for neural mechanisms in hair growth control
Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia shows robust T helper 1 and Janus kinase 3 skewing
Frontal fibrosing alopecia is linked to increased immune system activity and reduced stem cells, suggesting early treatment targeting this pathway might prevent hair follicle damage.
research Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, apoptosis inhibitors (survivin and p16) and CCL27 in alopecia areata before and after diphencyprone treatment: an immunohistochemical study
Diphenylcyclopropenone treatment helps hair growth in alopecia areata by promoting blood vessel growth and cell survival.
research Decorin-mediated dermal papilla cell-derived exosomes regulate hair follicle growth and development through miR-129-2-3p/SMAD3/TGF-β axis
Decorin helps hair growth by influencing specific cell signals.
research Analyses of regenerative wave patterns in adult hair follicle populations reveal macro-environmental regulation of stem cell activity
Hair follicle stem cells are controlled by their surrounding environment.
research USING THE FROG EPIDERMIS TO UNCOVER DESMOSOME FUNCTION AND REGULATION IN THE DEVELOPING EMBRYO
Desmosomes are crucial for skin and heart development, and JNK may help regulate them.
research DSC-investigations of alpha-keratins and the specific effects of chemical treatments on human hair
Chemical treatments weaken hair's thermal stability and structure.
research Effects of dobutamine on cyclic AMP accumulation induced by the stimulation of dopamine receptors in rabbit retina in vitro
Dobutamine does not mimic dopamine at therapeutic doses but may at very high concentrations; microfilaments, not microtubules, are important for wound healing in Xenopus embryos.
research Attenuation of Dickkopf 1-Induced Hair Growth Inhibition in Cultured Human Hair Follicles by Tianeptine
Tianeptine may help prevent hair loss by promoting hair growth and reducing cell death.
research 195 Androgen action and 3D culture conditions influence dermal papilla cells inductive properties: the role of Wnt agonists/antagonists balance
DHT reduces a cell's ability to promote hair growth, while 3D culture without DHT improves it.
research Hair weathering and hair capacitance mapping: a pilot study
Hair capacitance mapping effectively measures hair surface moisture changes.
research Acute Stress-Induced Changes in Follicular Dermal Papilla Cells and Mobilization of Mast Cells: Implications for Hair Growth
Stress can slow hair growth by affecting certain cells and pathways.
research The effect of treatments on the shear modulus of human hair measured by the single fiber torsion pendulum.

research Factors regulating quiescent stem cells: insights from the intestine and other self-renewing tissues
The document concludes that stem cell inactivity is actively controlled and important for tissue repair and balance.
research Dermal papilla cell number specifies hair size, shape and cycling and its reduction causes follicular decline
More dermal papilla cells in hair follicles lead to larger, healthier hair, while fewer cells cause hair thinning and loss.
research Growth factors specifically alter hair follicle cell proliferation and collagenolytic activity alone or in combination
Growth factors can either promote or inhibit hair follicle cell growth and collagen breakdown.
research Pan-tissue scaling of stiffness versus fibrillar collagen reflects contractility-driven strain that inhibits fibril degradation
Tissue stiffness is influenced by contractility, which suppresses collagen breakdown.
