Black women's unique hair characteristics and styling practices can lead to specific scalp conditions, which require early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
research Hair physiology and its disorders
Different hair growth problems are caused by genetic issues or changes in hair growth cycles, and new treatments are being developed.
research Hair follicle stem cell proliferation, Akt and Wnt signaling activation in TPA-induced hair regeneration
TPA promotes hair growth by increasing stem cell activity and activating specific cell signals.
research Clinical and histological challenge in the differential diagnosis of diffuse alopecia: female androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium and alopecia areata – part I
Diagnosing hair loss disorders needs clinical, dermoscopic, and histological differences, and checking menstrual cycle, weight changes, drug therapy, and nail changes.
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 NF-κB Participates in Mouse Hair Cycle Control and Plays Distinct Roles in the Various Pelage Hair Follicle Types
NF-κB is crucial for different stages and types of hair growth in mice.
research Effects of Finasteride on Apoptosis and Regulation of the Human Hair Cycle
Finasteride helps hair growth by decreasing cell death in hair follicles.
research Hair Growth–Promoting Effects of Adiponectin In Vitro
Adiponectin may stimulate hair growth and could be a potential treatment for promoting hair growth.
research Hair growth-modulation by adrenergic drugs
Certain drugs can cause early hair growth in mice by affecting the nerves.
research An analysis of canine hair re‐growth after clipping for a surgical procedure
Dog hair grows back in about 14 weeks after being clipped for surgery, and the season doesn't really affect this growth rate.
research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice
Prolactin affects when mice shed and grow hair.
research Androgenic Alopecia
The document concludes that treating female hair loss should target reducing excess androgen and blocking its effects on hair follicles, with the best treatments being hormonal therapy, adrenal suppression, and topical minoxidil.
research Cyclosporine A increases hair follicle growth by suppressing apoptosis-inducing factor nuclear translocation: a new mechanism
Cyclosporine A helps hair grow by blocking a process that would otherwise cause hair cells to die.
research Morphological and morphometric study of the androgenetic alopecic scalp using two- and three-dimensional analysis comparing regional differences
The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.
research Hair cycle in dogs with different hair types in a tropical region of Brazil
Boxer and Labrador dogs' hair growth is affected by the tropical climate, but Schnauzers' is not.
research Prevention and treatment of linear scar formation in the scalp: Basic principles of the mechanism of scar formation
New suturing technique with wider intervals and shallow stitches helps prevent scalp scars and promotes hair growth.
research Targeted elimination of the follicular label-retaining cells by photo-induced cell killing caused a defect on follicular renewal on mice
Killing specific cells in hair follicles can lead to hair growth problems in mice.
research Transcriptome Profiling and Differential Gene Expression in Canine Microdissected Anagen and Telogen Hair Follicles and Interfollicular Epidermis
