The document explains different types of hair loss, their causes, and treatments, and suggests future research areas.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: An update
The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
research Genome-wide meta-analysis implicates mediators of hair follicle development and morphogenesis in risk for severe acne
Genetic variations affecting skin structure play a key role in severe acne.
research Syphilitic alopecia: uncommon trichoscopic findings
New hair and skin changes were found in a rare case of syphilis-related hair loss.
research Gata6 promotes hair follicle progenitor cell renewal by genome maintenance during proliferation
Gata6 is important for protecting hair growth cells from DNA damage and keeping normal hair growth.
research Signalling by senescent melanocytes hyperactivates hair growth
Senescent melanocytes can boost hair growth by activating hair stem cells.
research Distinct mechanisms underlie pattern formation in the skin and skin appendages
Different processes create patterns in skin and things like hair and feathers.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: A Review
Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia's cause is unclear, affects mainly postmenopausal women, and current treatments focus on stopping hair loss rather than regrowth.
research Immunology of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata, a type of hair loss, is likely an autoimmune disease with a genetic link, but its exact cause is still unknown.
research Making Waves with Hairs
Skin patterns are formed by simple reaction-diffusion mechanisms.
research Alopecia in IL-10-deficient mouse pups is c-kit-dependent and can be triggered by iron deficiency
Hair loss in certain young mice is linked to a specific gene and can be caused by lack of iron.
research Electrophoretic variability in human head hair: Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of hair proteins in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and urea
Human head hair proteins can be typed into eight distinct patterns, useful for genetic and forensic investigations.
research Overexpression of alkaline phosphatase improves the hair-inductive capacity of cultured human dermal papilla spheres
Increasing alkaline phosphatase in human skin cells helps to grow more hair.
research Genetics of Wool and Cashmere Fibre: Progress, Challenges, and Future Research
