research Hair Loss in Systemic Disease
Systemic diseases can cause hair loss, which is often reversible with treatment.
research The histopathology of alopecia areata in vertical and horizontal sections
Horizontal scalp biopsy sections are better for diagnosing alopecia areata, showing fewer hair follicles and more miniaturized hairs.
research Alopecia From Oral Contraceptives
Oral contraceptives may cause hair loss in women.
research Diseases on Hair Follicles Leading to Hair Loss Part I: Nonscarring Alopecias
Common types of non-scarring hair loss have various causes and treatments, but more effective solutions are needed.
research Activation of mTORC1 Signaling is Required for Timely Hair Follicle Regeneration from Radiation Injury
mTORC1 signaling needed for quick hair follicle recovery after radiation damage.
research Construction of transcriptome atlas of white yak hair follicle during anagen and catagen using single-cell RNA sequencing
The research improved understanding of yak hair growth to help use yak wool better.
research Parathyroid hormone linked to a collagen binding domain promotes hair growth in a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia in a dose-dependent manner
A hormone linked to collagen helps hair grow back in mice after chemotherapy, and may also prevent bone loss.
research Can antibiotic‐induced changes in the composition of the hair follicle microbiome regulate human hair growth?
Antibiotics might affect hair growth by changing the bacteria in hair follicles.
research Sequential cyclic changes of hair roots revealed by dermoscopy demonstrate a progressive mechanism of diffuse alopecia areata over time
Dermoscopy shows that diffuse alopecia areata progresses through specific hair growth stages.
research Hair Changes due to Drugs
Some drugs can cause reversible hair loss, but certain chemotherapy drugs may lead to permanent hair loss; drugs can also change hair color and texture.
research EEMCO Guidance for the Assessment of Hair Shedding and Alopecia
The document explains hair growth and shedding, factors affecting it, and methods to evaluate hair loss, emphasizing the importance of skin biopsy for diagnosis.
research Hair anatomy for the clinician
Understanding hair follicle anatomy helps diagnose hair disorders.
research Morpho-Regulation of Ectodermal Organs
Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.
research Melatonin and the hair follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research Principles of Hair Cycle Control
Manipulating the catagen and telogen phases of hair growth could lead to treatments for hair disorders.
research Histopathologic Evaluation of Alopecias
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires careful examination of hair and scalp tissue, considering both clinical and microscopic features.
research New Activators and Inhibitors in the Hair Cycle Clock: Targeting Stem Cells’ State of Competence
The conclusion is that Fgf18 and Tgf-ß signaling could be targeted for hair loss treatments.
research Oestrogen functions in skin and skin appendages
Oestrogens help maintain healthy skin, heal wounds, and may protect against skin aging and cancer.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor β2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research HAIR AND SYSTEMATIC DISEASE
Hair loss can indicate underlying systemic diseases and addressing these can sometimes reverse the hair loss.
research Primary Follicular Dystrophy With Scarring Dermatitis in C57BL/6 Mouse Substrains Resembles Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia in Humans
Certain mouse strains develop a skin condition similar to a human hair loss disease due to genetic defects.
research Estrogens and the hair follicle. Ostrogene und der Haarfollikel
Estrogens generally inhibit hair growth and improve skin quality, but their exact effects on hair follicles are complex and not fully understood.
research Drug-Induced Hair Disorders
Some drugs can cause hair loss, excessive growth, or color changes, often reversible but sometimes permanent.
research Reflectance Confocal Microscopy of the Yellow Dot Pattern in Alopecia Areata
Reflectance confocal microscopy confirms that yellow dots are signs of damaged hair follicles in alopecia areata.
research Hormonal changes in menopause: do they contribute to a ‘midlife hair crisis’ in women?
Menopause-related hormonal changes affect hair but are not the only cause of hair changes in middle-aged women.
research Quantitative Models for the Study of Hair Growth in Vivoa
The conclusion is that small hair follicles cause baldness in macaques, and treatments like antiandrogens and minoxidil can prevent hair loss and promote regrowth.
research Hair Loss in Children
Most hair loss in children is caused by a few common conditions, and it's important to diagnose these properly and support the child's mental health.
research Gata6 promotes hair follicle progenitor cell renewal by genome maintenance during proliferation
Gata6 is important for protecting hair growth cells from DNA damage and keeping normal hair growth.
research HAIR DISEASES
Most hair loss can be diagnosed with patient history and physical exam, and a few common types make up most cases.
