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 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 Conditional Activin Receptor Type 1B (Acvr1b) Knockout Mice Reveal Hair Loss Abnormality
Disrupting Acvr1b in mice causes severe hair loss and thicker skin.
research Lymphatic vessels interact dynamically with the hair follicle stem cell niche during skin regeneration in vivo
Lymphatic vessels are essential for hair follicle growth and skin regeneration.
research Vasoactive intestinal peptide, whose receptor-mediated signalling may be defective in alopecia areata, provides protection from hair follicle immune privilege collapse
A substance called VIP might protect hair follicles from being attacked by the immune system, and problems with VIP signaling could lead to hair loss in alopecia areata.
research The balance of Bmp6 and Wnt10b regulates the telogen-anagen transition of hair follicles
BMP6 and Wnt10b control whether hair follicles are resting or growing.
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 quantification of wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis using in vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy
In vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy is an effective, non-invasive way to study and measure new hair growth after skin injury in mice.
research Hair follicular cell/organ culture in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
Stem cell therapy is a promising approach for hair regrowth despite potential side effects.
research Morphogenetic Mechanisms in the Cyclic Regeneration of Hair Follicles and Deer Antlers from Stem Cells
Hair follicles and deer antlers regenerate similarly through stem cells and are influenced by hormones and growth factors.
research Hair in health and disease: an introduction
Hair health depends on various factors and hair loss can significantly affect a person's well-being; understanding hair biology is key for creating effective hair care treatments.
research Natural products and their derivatives as candidate treatments for hair greying: from drug discovery to molecular mechanisms
Natural products might help treat hair greying.
research Glypican-1, -4 and 6 Participate in the Hair Follicle Stem Cell Differentiation via Specific Interactions with BMP2R, Fz7 and Patched 1
Glypicans help hair follicle stem cells differentiate by interacting with specific receptors, influencing hair growth.
research Col4a2-eGFPmouse model reveals the molecular and functional dynamics of basement membrane remodelling in hair follicle morphogenesis
Scientists made a mouse that shows how a specific protein in the skin changes and affects hair growth and shape.
research Nestin as a marker of unipotent epithelial progenitor cell differentiation into outer root sheath keratinocytes in embryonic and adult hair follicles
Nestin marks cells that can become a specific type of skin cell in hair follicles of both developing and adult mice.
research Hair, Cutaneous Homeostasis and Stem Cell Functions
Proteins like aPKC and PDGF-AA, substances like adenosine and ATP, and adipose-derived stem cells all play important roles in hair growth and health, and could potentially be used to treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research Treatment of MSCs with Wnt1a-conditioned medium activates DP cells and promotes hair follicle regrowth
Wnt1a-conditioned medium from stem cells helps activate cells important for hair growth and can promote hair regrowth.
research The Biology of Hair Follicles
Hair follicle biology advancements may lead to better hair growth disorder treatments.
research Towards a molecular understanding of hair loss and its treatment
Future hair loss treatments should aim to extend hair growth, reactivate resting follicles, reverse shrinkage, and possibly create new follicles, with gene therapy showing promise.
research Genetic Ablation of the CDP/Cux Protein C Terminus Results in Hair Cycle Defects and Reduced Male Fertility
Mutant CDP/Cux protein causes hair defects and reduced male fertility in mice.
research Hair Growth Defects in Insig-Deficient Mice Caused by Cholesterol Precursor Accumulation and Reversed by Simvastatin
Mice lacking Insig proteins had hair growth problems due to cholesterol buildup, but this was fixed by the drug simvastatin.
research Evaluating hair growth promoting effects of candidate substance: A review of research methods
The document concludes that while lab results for hair growth promotion are promising, human trials are needed and better testing methods should be developed.
research The Success of Thread-embedding Therapy in Generating Hair Re-growth in Mice Points to Its Possibly Having a Similar Effect in Humans
Thread-embedding therapy helped hair grow back in mice and might do the same in humans.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Hair Today
The document concludes that understanding hair biology is key to treating hair disorders, with gene therapy showing potential as a future treatment.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor β2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
