research Hair follicle immune privilege in autoimmune and immune-mediated alopecias: paths toward reestablishing immune tolerance
Different types of alopecia cause hair loss due to immune system issues, with some allowing regrowth and others causing permanent loss.
research Sphingolipid metabolism orchestrates the establishment of the adult hair follicle stem cell niche to control skin homeostasis
A specific enzyme is essential for proper hair follicle stem cell development and healthy skin.
research Irradiation-induced hair graying in mice: an experimental model to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions targeting oxidative stress, DNA damage prevention, and cellular senescence
Using radiation to make mice's hair turn gray helps study and find ways to prevent or reverse hair graying.
research Evaluation of hair follicles as a surrogate tissue for pharmacodynamics response in xenograft tumors
Hair follicles can be used to quickly assess drug effects in cancer treatment.
research Age-induced hair greying - the multiple effects of oxidative stress
Hair greying is caused by oxidative stress damaging hair follicles and melanocytes.
research Zinc as an ambivalent but potent modulator of murine hair growth in vivo- preliminary observations
Zinc can both inhibit and stimulate mouse hair growth, and might help recover hair after chemotherapy.
research Identification of hair shaft progenitors that create a niche for hair pigmentation
Scientists found cells in hair that are key for growth and color.
research Vasoactive intestinal peptide, whose receptor-mediated signalling may be defective in alopecia areata, provides protection from hair follicle immune privilege collapse
A substance called VIP might protect hair follicles from being attacked by the immune system, and problems with VIP signaling could lead to hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Antioxidant, Black Hair, and Hair Growth Effect of Mixed Extracts of Nardostachys jatamansi, Ocimum basilicum and Crocus sativus
NOC-4 extract promotes black hair and hair growth effectively.
research A rare case of chronic genian fistula with oral mucosal hair follicle inclusion: case report and review of the literature
Accurate diagnosis and management of rare genian fistulas require combined clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic evaluations.
research A comparative study of materials assembled from recombinant K31 and K81 and extracted human hair keratins
Recombinant keratin materials may better promote skin cell differentiation than natural keratin.
research SbbHLH85, a bHLH Member, Modulates Resilience to Salt Stress By Regulating Root Hair Growth in Sweet Sorghum
The SbbHLH85 protein helps sweet sorghum grow more root hairs but makes the plant more sensitive to salt.
research Epidermal homeostasis: a balancing act of stem cells in the skin
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing the skin and hair, using a complex mix of signals to do so.
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 Regional Dermatology
The document explains hair and nail biology, common hair loss conditions and treatments, oral and genital skin diseases, and the risks and treatments associated with squamous cell carcinoma.
research Adult epidermal Notch activity induces dermal accumulation of T cells and neural crest derivatives through upregulation of jagged 1
Activating Notch in adult skin causes T cells and neural crest cells to gather, leading to skin issues.
research Early inductive events in ectodermal appendage morphogenesis
Early development of hair, teeth, and glands involves specific signaling pathways and cellular interactions.
research Tuning Wnt Signals for More or Fewer Hairs
Changing Wnt signaling can lead to more or less hair growth and might help treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research Intragenic deletion in the Desmoglein 4 gene underlies the skin phenotype in the Iffa Credo “hairless” rat
A gene deletion causes the "hairless" trait in Iffa Credo rats.
research Pigmented Casts
Pigmented casts are common in several hair loss conditions and can help diagnose specific types of alopecia.
research Perspectives of Alopecia behind the Regulation of Foxn1 Gene Exposes the Human Nude Phenotype
The gene Foxn1 is important for hair growth, and understanding it may lead to new alopecia treatments.
research 875 Exploring the role of microRNAs in alopecia areata
Certain microRNAs may protect against hair loss in alopecia areata and could be potential treatment targets.
research Skin melanocytes: biology and development
The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research Mechanisms and cell lineages in lymphatic vascular development
Lymphatic vessels develop from various cell types and mechanisms, not just veins.
research Demethylation of ITGAV accelerates osteogenic differentiation in a blast-induced heterotopic ossification in vitro cell culture model
Removing a methyl group from the ITGAV gene speeds up bone formation in a specific type of bone disease model.
research The evaluation and treatment of androgen excess
High androgen levels can cause excessive hair growth and may indicate serious health issues, including heart disease and fertility problems.
research Immunopathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
Hair loss in Lichen Planopilaris is caused by immune system issues damaging hair follicles and stem cells.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cells in the pigmentation of skin and its appendages: Biological patterning and therapeutic potentials
Understanding how melanocyte stem cells work could lead to new treatments for hair graying and skin pigmentation disorders.
research Development of gene therapy for inner ear disease: Using bilateral vestibular hypofunction as a vehicle for translational research
Gene therapy, especially using atoh1, shows promise for creating functional sensory hair cells in the inner ear, but dosing and side effects need to be managed for clinical application.
