research The Invisible Threat to Hair and Scalpfrom Air Pollution
Air pollution can damage hair and scalp, causing hair loss and inflammation.
research Transplanted hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells alleviated small intestinal ischaemia–reperfusion injury via intrinsic and paracrine mechanisms in a rat model
Hair follicle stem cells can help heal intestinal injuries in rats.
research In focus in HCB
The May issue discussed publishing agreements and four studies on cholesterol in hair, cancer cell changes, hormones in the uterus, and skin protein effects.
research Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Based In Vitro Metabolic Profiling Reveals Altered Enzyme Expressions in Eicosanoid Metabolism
The method reliably profiles eicosanoids and shows epitestosterone reduces their levels, similar to common anti-inflammatory drugs.
research Comparative study of efficacy of excimer light therapy vs. intralesional triamcinolone vs. topical 5% minoxidil for alopecia areata: an observational study
Intralesional triamcinolone is the most effective treatment for alopecia areata, followed by excimer light therapy, and then topical minoxidil. The scalp responds better to treatment than the beard area.
research ESTROGEN RECEPTORS OF HAIRS BLACKS AND WHITES
Females have higher estrogen receptor levels in hair than males, and these levels decrease in white hair compared to black hair.
research Markers to Evaluate the Quality and Self-Renewing Potential of Engineered Human Skin Substitutes In Vitro and after Transplantation
Cytokeratin 19 and cytokeratin 15 are key markers for monitoring the quality and self-renewing potential of engineered skin.
research Approach to the adult female patient with diffuse nonscarring alopecia
The document concludes that careful evaluation is key to diagnose and treat women with hair loss, with tests for thyroid, iron, and hormones as needed.
research Design of a Multifunctional Biomaterial Inspired by Ancient Chinese Medicine for Hair Regeneration in Burned Skin
The new biomaterial inspired by ancient Chinese medicine effectively promotes hair growth and heals wounds in burned skin.
research Mechanical Stretch Upregulates SDF-1α in Skin Tissue and Induces Migration of Circulating Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells into the Expanded Skin
Stretching skin increases a certain protein that attracts stem cells, helping skin regeneration.
research Hair Growth Promoting and Anticancer Effects of p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) Inhibitors Isolated from Different Parts of Alpinia zerumbet
Compounds from Alpinia zerumbet may help with hair regrowth and cancer treatment by targeting PAK1.
research Female androgenetic alopecia: An update
Hair loss in women can be slowed with treatment, but more research needed for better solutions.
research Structural characterization of cyclosporin A, C and microbial bio-transformed cyclosporin A analog AM6 using HPLC–ESI–ion trap-mass spectrometry
Researchers developed a method to identify and analyze cyclosporin compounds and their structures effectively.
research Malignant epithelial tumors: Part II. Therapy and prevention
The document concludes that individualized treatment for malignant epithelial tumors is necessary and more research on metastatic squamous cell carcinoma treatments is needed.
research Intradermal Injection in Balding Region Versus Intramuscular Injection in Surrounding Muscles: A Split-Scalp, Randomized Trial on BoNT for Androgenetic Alopecia
Intramuscular injections improved hair density more than intradermal injections for treating hair loss.
research Multiple-wavelength radiation promotes hair growth by enhancing the early stages of hair follicle development in human dermal papilla cells and C57BL/6 mice
Multiple-wavelength radiation helps hair grow by boosting early hair follicle development.
research Expression and roles of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in ‘non-classical’, extra-adrenal and extra-gonadal cells and tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research HaCaT Cell Proliferation Influenced by Melatonin
Melatonin affects skin cell growth differently based on how much and how long it's used.
research The orchestrated network of skin photoaging: From intercellular crosstalk to molecular signaling
UV radiation causes skin aging by damaging cells and triggering harmful processes.
research Is dehydroepiandrosterone a hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Evidence-Based and Potential Benefits of Metformin in the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review
Metformin helps with menstrual cycles and insulin levels in PCOS but is less effective for hair growth, diabetes prevention, and weight loss, and may improve fertility and reduce diabetes risk.
research The Dynamics of the Skin’s Immune System
The skin has a complex immune system that is essential for protection and healing, requiring more research for better wound treatment.
research Biomaterials Functionalized with MSC Secreted Extracellular Vesicles and Soluble Factors for Tissue Regeneration
Biomaterials with MSC-derived substances could improve tissue repair and have advantages over direct cell therapy.
research The IL-23/IL-17 Pathway in Inflammatory Skin Diseases: From Bench to Bedside
Targeting the IL-23/IL-17 pathway effectively treats several inflammatory skin diseases.
research Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells: Regenerative Potency in Periodontium
Periodontal ligament stem cells show promise for regrowing tissues but require more research for safe, effective use.
research Minoxidil and its use in hair disorders: a review
