Patient had scalp allergy from minoxidil; test helped identify cause and suggest alternative treatments.
research Proline-rich protein-like PRPL1 controls elongation of root hairs in Arabidopsis thaliana
A gene in Arabidopsis thaliana, AtPRPL1, affects root hair length but not cell wall composition.
research Single-strand DNA breaks in human hair root cells exposed to mobile phone radiation
Mobile phone radiation can cause DNA damage in human hair root cells.
research Recent advances in thiasteroids chemistry

research CC-type glutaredoxins mediate plant response and signaling under nitrate starvation in Arabidopsis
ROXY proteins help plants respond to nitrate shortage by affecting nutrient sensing and growth.
research Transplantation of bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal and epidermal stem cells contribute to wound healing with different regenerative features
Bone-marrow and epidermal stem cells help heal wounds differently, with bone-marrow cells aiding in blood vessel formation and epidermal cells in hair growth.
research Genetically-manipulated adult stem cells as therapeutic agents and gene delivery vehicle for wound repair and regeneration
Genetically-altered adult stem cells can help in wound healing and are becoming crucial in regenerative medicine and drug design.
research A distinct gene close to the hairless locus on chromosome 8p underlies hereditary Marie Unna type hypotrichosis in a German family
A different gene near the hairless gene on chromosome 8p21 causes a rare hair loss condition in a German family.
research Effects of Finasteride on Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
Finasteride reduces prostate bleeding by affecting blood vessel growth.
research Minoxidil improves vascular compliance, restores cerebral blood flow, and alters extracellular matrix gene expression in a model of chronic vascular stiffness
Minoxidil improves blood flow and vessel flexibility, potentially helping with vascular stiffness.
research Straight hair associated with interferon-alfa plus ribavirin in hepatitis C infection
ALA-PDT is effective and safe for chronic X-ray dermatitis, providing complete or partial remission.
research Cell wall-associated ROOT HAIR SPECIFIC 10, a proline-rich receptor-like kinase, is a negative modulator of Arabidopsis root hair growth
ROOT HAIR SPECIFIC 10 (RHS10) reduces the length of root hairs in Arabidopsis plants.
research Evaluation of 5α-reductase inhibitory activity of certain herbs useful as antiandrogens
Some herbs show promise as antiandrogenic agents.
research Exogenous calreticulin improves diabetic wound healing

research Effect of Long-Term Fluticasone Treatment on Immune Function in Horses with Heaves
Long-term fluticasone treatment does not harm the immune system in horses with heaves.
research Minoxidil Stimulates Elastin Expression in Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells
research Comparison of the effects of the K+-channel openers cromakalim and minoxidil sulphate on vascular smooth muscle
Cromakalim relaxes various blood vessels, while minoxidil sulphate is more selective; they likely act on different potassium channels.
research Hypaphorine, an indole-3-acetic acid antagonist delivered by the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus tinctorius , induces reorganisation of actin and the microtubule cytoskeleton in Eucalyptus globulus ssp bicostata root hairs
Hypaphorine from a fungus changes the internal structure of Eucalyptus root hairs, stopping their growth.
research Carriers of 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Are Not at Increased Risk for Hyperandrogenism*
People who carry the 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency gene are not more likely to have excessive male hormone levels.
research Stem Cell-Based Tissue Engineering for the Treatment of Burn Wounds: A Systematic Review of Preclinical Studies
Stem cell treatments may improve burn wound healing.
research Vitamin E TPGS based transferosomes augmented TAT as a promising delivery system for improved transdermal delivery of raloxifene
The new delivery system improved raloxifene's skin absorption and effectiveness against cancer cells.
research Effect of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on serum gonadotropins in normal men.
Finasteride doesn't affect hormone levels in normal men.
research Alopecia areata patients show deficiency of FOXP3+CD39+ T regulatory cells and clonotypic restriction of Treg TCRβ-chain, which highlights the immunopathological aspect of the disease
Patients with Alopecia areata have fewer specific immune cells that normally regulate the immune system, which may contribute to the condition.
