960-990 / 1000+ resultsresearch Alopecia and autoimmune thyroiditis: the role of selenium and zinc
Correcting selenium and zinc levels may help manage hair loss in autoimmune thyroiditis.
research 896 Androgens activate lipogenesis through an AKT-independent mTOR pathway stimulation and a limitation of autophagy in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) increases oil production in skin cells by activating mTOR, and mTOR inhibitors can reduce this effect.
research Delta‐6 desaturase knockout mouse illustrates previously undocumented pathology
Lack of certain fatty acids causes skin, immune, and fertility issues in mice.
research Distinct use of super-enhancer elements controls cell type–specific CD25 transcription and function
Super-enhancers control CD25 expression in specific cell types, affecting immune function.
research 5α-Reductase underscores the development of pectoral fin breeding tubercles in zebrafish
The development of breeding tubercles in male zebrafish relies on a specific enzyme that processes hormones.
research Genetic Disorders and Defects in Vitamin D Action
Two rare genetic diseases cause severe rickets in children due to defects in vitamin D metabolism.
research Assessment of vitamin D receptors in alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia
Low vitamin D receptor levels found in hair loss patients; topical vitamin D treatment suggested.
research Treatment of canine Alopecia X with trilostane
Trilostane treatment led to full hair regrowth in most Pomeranians and all miniature poodles with alopecia X.
research Plasmacytoid dendritic cells in alopecia areata: missing link?
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells are a key factor in causing hair loss in alopecia areata and could help differentiate it from other hair loss conditions.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Effects of dehydroepiandrosterone therapy on pubic hair growth and psychological well-being in adolescent girls and young women with central adrenal insufficiency: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase III trial.
DHEA therapy improved pubic hair growth and psychological well-being in young females with adrenal insufficiency.
research Increased Number of OKT6-Positive Dendritic Cells in the Hair Follicles of Patients with Alopecia areata
Higher levels of certain immune cells in hair follicles may contribute to alopecia areata.
research Local Actions of Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Regulate Hair Color
TRH in hair follicles can influence hair color by increasing melanin.
research Alopecia areata profiling shows TH1, TH2, and IL-23 cytokine activation without parallel TH17/TH22 skewing
Alopecia areata involves immune activation in the scalp, suggesting treatments targeting TH1, TH2, and IL-23 pathways.
research 1452 Noncoding dsRNA stimulates exosome biosynthesis to regulate skin regeneration
Noncoding dsRNA helps produce exosomes that aid in skin regeneration.
research TRPV3 Ion Channel: From Gene to Pharmacology
The TRPV3 ion channel is important for skin and hair health and could be a target for treating skin conditions.
research 061 Selective inhibition of tyrosine kinase 2 prevents and restores interleukin-12-induced hair follicle immune privilege collapse: a novel approach to alopecia areata therapy?
Blocking IL-12 can help treat alopecia areata by preventing hair follicle immune issues.
research 671 The adenosine-generating ecto-enzyme, CD73, functions as an intrafollicular regulator of human hair growth
CD73 may regulate hair growth and could be targeted for hair growth treatments.
research The role of autoimmune thyroid disorders in patients with alopecia areata
The study concluded that there is no significant link between thyroid autoimmunity and alopecia areata.
research 1434 Epithelially derived MPZL3 negatively regulates murine and human sebaceous gland size and sebocyte proliferation
