research Dihydrotestosterone-Inducible Dickkopf 1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Causes Apoptosis in Follicular Keratinocytes
A substance called DKK-1 increases in balding areas and causes hair cells to die when exposed to DHT.
research Functional salivary gland regeneration by transplantation of a bioengineered organ germ
Scientists made working salivary glands in mice using bioengineered cells, which could help treat dry mouth.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
research The role of tight junctions in skin barrier function and dermal absorption
Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.
research Skin CD4+ memory T cells exhibit combined cluster-mediated retention and equilibration with the circulation
Memory T cells in the skin balance staying put and moving into the blood, clustering around hair follicles, and increasing in number after infection.
research The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research Increased copy number of the TERT and TERC telomerase subunit genes in cancer cells
Cancer cells often have more copies of TERT and TERC genes, which helps them grow and could affect patient outcomes.
research Epithelial Integrity Is Maintained by a Matriptase-Dependent Proteolytic Pathway
Matriptase is crucial for keeping epithelial tissues healthy and functioning properly.
research Vestibular Hair Cell Regeneration and Restoration of Balance Function Induced by Math1 Gene Transfer
Gene therapy with the Math1 gene helped regenerate balance-related cells and improve balance in mice.
research Human Scalp Hair Follicles Are Both a Target and a Source of Prolactin, which Serves as an Autocrine and/or Paracrine Promoter of Apoptosis-Driven Hair Follicle Regression
Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.
research Indications for a brain‐hair follicle axis: inhibition of keratinocyte proliferation and up‐regulation of keratinocyte apoptosis in telogen hair follicles by stress and substance P
Stress can cause hair loss by negatively affecting hair follicles and this effect might be reversed with specific treatments.
research Dermatologic Changes Associated With Interleukin 2 Administration
IL-2 treatment causes skin eruptions and other reversible side effects, and may play a role in psoriasis.
research A role of melatonin in neuroectodermal‐mesodermal interactions: the hair follicle synthesizes melatonin and expresses functional melatonin receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Thyroid Hormones Directly Alter Human Hair Follicle Functions: Anagen Prolongation and Stimulation of Both Hair Matrix Keratinocyte Proliferation and Hair Pigmentation
Thyroid hormones help hair grow, reduce hair loss, and increase hair pigment.
research Stress exposure modulates peptidergic innervation and degranulates mast cells in murine skin
Stress increases nerve fibers and immune cell activity in mouse skin, possibly worsening skin conditions.
research Single-cell analysis of murine fibroblasts identifies neonatal to adult switching that regulates cardiomyocyte maturation
Adult fibroblasts help heart cells mature and improve heart function.
research Follicular Targeting–A Promising Tool in Selective Dermatotherapy
Targeting hair follicles can improve skin treatments and reduce side effects.
research Neurogenic Inflammation in Stress-Induced Termination of Murine Hair Growth Is Promoted by Nerve Growth Factor
Stress increases a factor in mice that leads to hair loss, and blocking this factor may prevent it.
research Activation of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid-3 Inhibits Human Hair Growth
Activating TRPV3 stops human hair growth.
research Therapeutic anti-inflammatory potential of formyl-peptide receptor agonists
Formyl-peptide receptor agonists could be new anti-inflammatory drugs.
research Immunohistochemical localization of types 1 and 2 5α-reductase in human scalp
The study found that two enzymes linked to hair loss are located in different parts of the scalp, supporting a common treatment's effectiveness.
research Generation of folliculogenic human epithelial stem cells from induced pluripotent stem cells
Scientists created stem cells that can grow hair and skin.
research Human hair follicle: reservoir function and selective targeting
The human hair follicle can store topical compounds and be targeted for drug delivery with minimal side effects.
research Genetic Ablation of the CDP/Cux Protein C Terminus Results in Hair Cycle Defects and Reduced Male Fertility
Mutant CDP/Cux protein causes hair defects and reduced male fertility in mice.
research Delivery and targeting of nanoparticles into hair follicles
Nanoparticles can improve skin treatments by better targeting hair follicles, but more research is needed for advancement.
research Polymorphisms of the Androgen Receptor Gene and the Estrogen Receptor β Gene Are Associated with Androgen Levels in Women1
Certain genetic variations in the AR and ERβ genes can affect androgen levels in women.
research Control of pelage hair follicle development and cycling by complex interactions between follistatin and activin
Follistatin helps hair growth and cycling, while activin prevents it.
