research How Our Microbiome Influences the Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata
Our microbiome may affect the development of the hair loss condition Alopecia Areata, but more research is needed to understand this relationship.
research Surgical Management of Scarring Alopecia
Hair loss due to scarring can be treated by reducing inflammation, removing scar tissue, and transplanting hair. The Follicular Unit Extraction technique is effective but requires skill and time. Future focus should be on scar-less healing methods.
research Phamacopuncture and Dermal Application of Sebalgukhwa-san: Effects on Hair Growth in a Mouse Model of Alopecia
Sebalgukhwa-san (SGS) can help treat hair loss without liver toxicity.
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 Wanted, dead and alive: Why a multidisciplinary approach is needed to unlock hair treatment potential
Different fields of expertise must work together to better understand hair growth and create effective hair loss treatments.
research Fibroblast growth factors: key players in regeneration and tissue repair
Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) are important for tissue repair and regeneration, influencing cell behavior and other factors involved in healing, and are crucial in processes like wound healing, bone repair, and hair growth.
research Order from disorder: Self-organization in mammalian hair patterning
Hair patterns in mice are controlled by both a global system dependent on Fz6 and a local self-organizing system.
research Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) transactivates Dlx3 through Smad1 and Smad4: alternative mode for Dlx3 induction in mouse keratinocytes
BMP-2 activates the Dlx3 gene in mouse skin cells, important for hair and skin development.
research Organoid technology for tissue engineering
Organoid technology helps create mini-organs for studying diseases and testing drugs.
research Pathomechanisms of immune-mediated alopecia
The study concluded that immune cells attacking hair follicles cause hair loss in alopecia, with genetics and environment also playing a role, and highlighted the potential of certain treatments.
research A Scarless Healing Tale: Comparing Homeostasis and Wound Healing of Oral Mucosa With Skin and Oesophagus
Oral mucosa heals with minimal scarring, offering insights for scarless wound healing.
research Understanding Melanocyte Stem Cells for Disease Modeling and Regenerative Medicine Applications
Melanocyte stem cells are crucial for skin pigmentation and have potential in disease modeling and regenerative medicine.
research Dermal Adipose Tissue Secretes HGF to Promote Human Hair Growth and Pigmentation
Fat under the skin releases HGF which helps hair grow and gain color.
research Sonic Hedgehog signalling in the regulation of barrier tissue homeostasis and inflammation
Sonic Hedgehog helps keep skin and airway barriers healthy and reduces inflammation.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
research Immunopathology and Immunotherapy of Inflammatory Skin Diseases
New targeted immunotherapies are improving treatment for inflammatory skin diseases.
research Integrated Lipidomics in the Secreted Phospholipase A2 Biology
Different sPLA2 enzymes have unique roles in phospholipid metabolism and biological processes.
research SOX9 in organogenesis: shared and unique transcriptional functions
SOX9 is essential for the development of various organs and hair follicles.
research Deciphering the microbiology of hidradenitis suppurativa: a step forward towards understanding an enigmatic inflammatory skin disease
Hidradenitis suppurativa may involve gut and oral bacteria, suggesting targeted treatments could help.
research Psychological Stress-Induced Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata: Autoimmune and Apoptotic Pathways
Stress may contribute to hair loss in alopecia areata by affecting immune responses and cell death in hair follicles.
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 An ERK-dependent molecular switch antagonizes fibrosis and promotes regeneration in spiny mice ( Acomys )
High levels of ERK activity are key for tissue regeneration in spiny mice, and activating ERK can potentially redirect scar-forming healing towards regenerative healing in mammals.
research Neurobiology, Stem Cell Biology, and Immunology: An Emerging Triad for Understanding Tissue Homeostasis and Repair
The nervous system helps control stem cell behavior and immune responses, affecting tissue repair and maintenance.
research Autophagy Dysfunction: The Kernel of Hair Loss?
Manipulating cell cleanup processes could help treat hair loss.
research Melanocytes in regenerative medicine applications and disease modeling
Melanocytes are important for normal body functions and have potential uses in regenerative medicine and disease treatment.
research Recent Advances in Understanding of the Etiopathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Management of Hair Loss Diseases
New understanding and treatments for hair loss are improving, but more research is needed.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research (2015)
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
