April 2007 in “Linchuang pifuke zazhi” TGF-β1 and 2 may play a role in hair loss in AGA.
TGF-β1 and 2 in hair follicles may be linked to hair loss in AGA.
mEphA1 receptor tyrosine kinase is important for skin and hair development and may play a role in certain diseases.
January 2007 in “Queen Mary Research Online (Queen Mary University of London)” GLI and EGF signalling affect Basal Cell Carcinoma development and could be therapeutic targets.
Diseased horse foot skin shows increased keratin expression, similar to wound healing in mammals.
January 2006 in “Durham e-Theses (Durham University)” Id proteins, especially Id2 and Id3, are crucial for hair follicle development and stem cell regulation.
Hair growth is controlled by cell interactions and influenced by specific growth factors and hormones.
January 2005 in “Journal of Cutaneous Pathology” A unique type of complex cyst was found on a man's scrotum.
December 2004 in “PLoS ONE” The Foxn1(-/-) phenotype disrupts hair growth and affects skin stem cells.
January 2003 in “Chinese Journal of Reparative and Reconstructive Surgery” Dermal papilla cells can help form hair follicles and produce hair.
February 2001 in “Chinese Journal of Dermatology” Epidermal growth factor (EGF) boosts the growth of hair follicle cells.
August 2000 in “Chinese Journal of Dermatology” Dermal papilla cells can successfully grow and maintain hair follicles.
June 1999 in “Proceedings of SPIE” The CO₂ laser is better for hair transplantation because it causes less damage than the Ho:YAG laser.
September 1998 in “Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” The conclusion is that proper recognition and treatment of skin conditions are crucial for the elderly due to changes in skin, nails, and hair with age, and the impact of these conditions on health and mobility.
September 1998 in “Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” Aging can lead to poorer scalp and hair health, including less hair and more scalp diseases, which should be managed to help older people feel better.
January 1998 in “KAGAKU TO SEIBUTSU” The document suggests that male hormones likely affect hair growth and baldness, and future treatments might involve stem cells and androgen-independent cells.
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone can slow down the growth of certain hair follicle cells.
April 2023 in “ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering” 3D scaffolds mimicking the extracellular matrix are crucial for effective hair follicle regeneration.
Wound-induced hair follicle creation is a complex process in adult mammals that involves various cells and immune responses, and understanding it better could help improve skin healing strategies.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Stem cells can create hair follicles, potentially treating permanent hair loss, and healthy skin and hair depend on mitochondrial function and special fats.
January 2017 in “Journal of clinical & experimental dermatology research” Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from human stem cells, which could potentially be used to treat hair loss.
Bipotent dermal stem cells and specific macrophages are crucial for hair regrowth and regeneration.
October 2012 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Scientists used a special imaging technique to observe that hair follicle regeneration involves cell division and structural changes, mostly in the lower part of the follicle, and that the dermal papilla at the base is crucial for regrowth.
January 2008 in “The Year book of dermatology” After skin injury, adult mice can grow new hair follicles, and this process can be increased or stopped by manipulating Wnt signals.
