research Oxidative stress in ageing of hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research Azathioprine
Azathioprine's effectiveness and safety require careful monitoring and more research, especially regarding its use with corticosteroids and the role of TPMT status in patients.
research 5α-Reductase activity in the human hair follicle concentrates in the dermal papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON PHARMACOLOGICAL POTENTIALS OF CAFFEINE
Caffeine boosts alertness, helps breathing, acts as a diuretic, and may aid cancer treatment.
research Hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in Lebanese patients: the p.R391S and p.H397P variants have different phenotypes
Two different mutations in the vitamin D receptor gene cause different symptoms and responses to treatment in Lebanese patients with hereditary rickets.
research Single-cell chromatin landscapes of mouse skin development
The study maps how genes are regulated during mouse hair growth.
research Inherited Disorders of the Hair
The document explains the genetic causes and characteristics of inherited hair disorders.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Encapsulación en ciclodextrinas de compuestos con actividad frente a la alopecia androgénica masculina.
Encapsulating hair loss drugs in cyclodextrins improves their solubility and reduces scalp irritation.
research Retinoids
Retinoids are effective for skin conditions like severe acne and psoriasis but must be used with caution due to potential side effects and risks during pregnancy.
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 Chapter 23. Therapeutic Control of Androgen Action
Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.
research 616 Endoplasmic reticulum stress upregulates NKG2D ligands in the hair follicle
Stress in hair follicle cells increases certain immune-related proteins, which might contribute to hair loss conditions.
research Pyrene Excimer Nucleic Acid Probes for Biomolecule Signaling
Pyrene excimer nucleic acid probes are promising for detecting biomolecules accurately with potential for biological research and drug screening.
research Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the human androgen receptor ligand-binding domain with a coactivator-like peptide and selective androgen receptor modulators
Scientists successfully created and analyzed the structure of a part of the human androgen receptor with specific modulators and a peptide to understand how it binds differently in various tissues.
research Erasing the methyl mark: histone demethylases at the center of cellular differentiation and disease
Histone demethylases can change gene expression and may be linked to diseases like cancer.
research Hormone-induced aberrations in electromagnetic adhesion signaling as a developmental factor of androgenetic alopecia
Hormones cause hair loss by affecting cell growth and weakening cell attraction.
research Epithelial Stem Cells: Turning over New Leaves
Epithelial stem cells are crucial for tissue renewal and repair, and understanding them could improve treatments for damage and cancer.
research β-catenin Activity in the Dermal Papilla Regulates Morphogenesis and Regeneration of Hair
β-catenin in the dermal papilla is crucial for normal hair growth and repair.
research Regulation of somatic cell reprogramming through inducible mir-302 expression
Increasing mir-302 turns human hair cells into stem cells by changing gene regulation and demethylation.
research Defective trophoblast function in mice with a targeted mutation of Ets2
Ets2 gene is crucial for placental development in mice.
research Wnt Signaling in Skin Development, Homeostasis, and Disease
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin development and health, and its disruption can cause skin diseases.
research Bone Morphogenetic Proteins and Their Antagonists in Skin and Hair Follicle Biology
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) help control skin health, hair growth, and color, and could potentially be used to treat skin and hair disorders.
research The effects of oestrogens on linear bone growth
Oestrogens are key for bone growth during puberty in both boys and girls.
research Vitamin D and the skin: Physiology and pathophysiology
Vitamin D and its receptor regulate skin functions like cell growth, immunity, hair cycle, and tumor prevention.
research Androgenetic alopecia: a review
Male pattern baldness involves genetics, hormones, and needs better treatments.
research Sex differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection rates and the potential link to prostate cancer
Men, especially older ones with health issues like prostate cancer, may have worse COVID-19 outcomes and could benefit from therapies targeting male hormones.
research 9 Role of 5α-reductase in health and disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
