research Treatment of male rats with finasteride, an inhibitor of 5alpha-reductase enzyme, induces long-lasting effects on depressive-like behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis, neuroinflammation and gut microbiota composition
Finasteride treatment in male rats causes long-lasting effects on depression-like behavior, brain cell growth, inflammation, and gut bacteria composition.
research Body composition changes and inhibition of fat development in vivo implicates androgen in regulation of stem cell lineage allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Identification of potential key genes and pathways associated with the Pashmina fiber initiation using RNA-Seq and integrated bioinformatics analysis
Key genes and pathways, including Wnt, NF-Kappa, and JAK-STAT, are crucial for starting Pashmina fiber growth in goats.
research Convergent Evolution of Cysteine-Rich Keratins in Hard Skin Appendages of Terrestrial Vertebrates
Cysteine-rich keratins evolved independently in mammals, reptiles, and birds for hard skin structures like hair, claws, and feathers.
research Identification of the causative dermatophyte of tinea capitis in children attending Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda by PCR-ELISA and comparison with conventional mycological diagnostic methods
PCR-ELISA is better for identifying the fungus causing scalp infections in Ugandan children than traditional methods.

CRISPR-Cas9 can successfully edit genes in large mammals like Cashmere goats.
research Increased Vibrissa Growth in Transgenic Mice Expressing Insulin-like Growth Factor 1
IGF-1 increases whisker growth in transgenic mice.
research Priming mobilization of hair follicle stem cells triggers permanent loss of regeneration after alkylating chemotherapy
Chemotherapy causes permanent hair follicle damage by triggering stem cell loss.
research Dietary supplementation with Essential-oils-cobalt for improving growth performance, meat quality and skin cell capacity of goats
Essential-oils-cobalt improves goat growth and product quality.
research Melatonin promotes Cashmere goat (Capra hircus) secondary hair follicle growth: a view from integrated analysis of long non-coding and coding RNAs
Melatonin helps Cashmere goats grow more hair by affecting certain genes and cell pathways.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research Therapeutic Potential of Patient iPSC-Derived iMelanocytes in Autologous Transplantation
Patient-derived melanocytes can potentially treat vitiligo by restoring skin pigmentation.
research Transepidermal UV radiation of scalp skin ex vivo induces hair follicle damage that is alleviated by the topical treatment with caffeine
Caffeine applied to the scalp can protect hair follicles from UV damage.
research Signalling couples hair follicle stem cell quiescence with reduced histone H3 K4/K9/K27me3 for proper tissue homeostasis
Certain signals are important for reducing specific chemical markers on hair follicle stem cells during rest periods, which is necessary for healthy hair 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 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.
research Differential expression analysis of balding and nonbalding dermal papilla microRNAs in male pattern baldness with a microRNA amplification profiling method
Certain microRNAs are more common in balding areas and might be involved in male pattern baldness.
research Elucidating the roles of three β-glucuronosyltransferases (GLCATs) acting on arabinogalactan-proteins using a CRISPR-Cas9 multiplexing approach in Arabidopsis
The study concluded that three enzymes are important for plant development by affecting sugar composition and calcium binding in plants.
research The transcriptional landscape of seasonal coat colour moult in the snowshoe hare
Researchers found genes that control hair color and growth change before the visible coat color changes in snowshoe hares.
research Thymosin β4 Promotes Dermal Healing
Thymosin β4 helps improve skin healing and reduce scarring.
research Deficient Plakophilin-1 Expression Due to a Mutation in PKP1 Causes Ectodermal Dysplasia-Skin Fragility Syndrome in Chesapeake Bay Retriever Dogs
A PKP1 gene mutation causes skin fragility and hair loss in Chesapeake Bay retriever puppies.
