research Tissue engineering of human hair follicles using a biomimetic developmental approach
Researchers created human hair follicles using a new method that could help treat hair loss.
research Bone Morphogenetic Proteins and Their Antagonists in Skin and Hair Follicle Biology
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) help control skin health, hair growth, and color, and could potentially be used to treat skin and hair disorders.
research A Hot New Twist to Hair Biology
Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, can slow down hair growth by affecting skin cells and hair follicles.
research Keratin 17 modulates hair follicle cycling in a TNFα-dependent fashion
Keratin 17 is crucial for normal hair growth by regulating hair cycle transitions with TNFα.
research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research Prostaglandin-Induced Hair Growth
Latanoprost can make eyelashes longer, thicker, and darker.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Vitamin D and the skin: Physiology and pathophysiology
Vitamin D and its receptor regulate skin functions like cell growth, immunity, hair cycle, and tumor prevention.
research Dermatoscopy: Alternative uses in daily clinical practice
Dermatoscopy and videodermatoscopy are useful for diagnosing and monitoring various skin, hair, and nail conditions.
research Androgens and human hair growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research Lichen planus
Lichen planus is a skin condition that can resolve on its own, is linked to hepatitis C, and increases the risk of skin cancer.
research Liposomal systems as drug delivery vehicles for dermal and transdermal applications
Liposomal systems show promise for delivering drugs through the skin but face challenges like high costs and stability issues.
research Estrogens and aging skin
Estrogen therapy can reduce skin aging but has cancer risks.
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 Lupus erythematosus: systemic and cutaneous manifestations
Lupus affects the body and skin, causing joint pain and skin issues that can be treated with steroids and antimalarial drugs.
research The Circadian Clock in Skin
The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.
research Complex Hair Cycle Domain Patterns and Regenerative Hair Waves in Living Rodents
Mice hair growth patterns get more complex with age and can change with events like pregnancy or injury.
research Hormesis and medicine
Low doses of some substances can be beneficial, while high doses can be harmful or toxic.
research Oxidative stress in ageing of hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research Structural abnormalities of the hair shaft
The document concludes that understanding hair structure is key to diagnosing hair abnormalities and recommends gentle hair care for management.
research A Murine Model for Inducing and Manipulating Hair Follicle Regression (Catagen): Effects of Dexamethasone and Cyclosporin A
Dexamethasone speeds up hair loss in mice, while cyclosporin A slows it down.
research Resting no more: re‐defining telogen, the maintenance stage of the hair growth cycle
The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.
research Epithelial Skin Biology
The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.
research Smoking and the skin
Smoking harms the skin, causing early aging and increasing cancer risk, but stopping smoking can improve skin health.
research Liposomes in cosmeceutics
Liposomes could improve how skin care products work but are costly and not very stable.
research Melatonin and the hair follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
