research A New Histologic Pattern in 6 Biopsies From Early Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
Researchers found a new early sign of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia that could help avoid misdiagnosis.
research Effect of tofacitinib on the expression of noggin/BMP-4 and hair growth stimulation in mice
Tofacitinib helps mice grow more hair by increasing noggin and BMP4 levels, possibly better than minoxidil.
research Inhibition of a signaling modality within the gp130 receptor enhances tissue regeneration and mitigates osteoarthritis
Blocking a certain signal in the gp130 receptor can improve tissue healing and lessen osteoarthritis symptoms.
research The functions of ocu-miR-205 in regulating hair follicle development in Rex rabbits
Ocu-miR-205 affects hair density in Rex rabbits by promoting cell changes and influencing hair follicle phases.
research Keratin 71 Mutations: From Water Dogs to Woolly Hair
A mutation in the KRT71 gene causes a hair disorder by disrupting hair follicle structure and texture.
