Research
570-600 / 1000+ results research Analysis of Apoptotic Cell Death in Human Hair Follicles In Vivo andIn Vitro
Apoptosis in hair follicles varies by growth phase, with TGF-β possibly starting the catagen phase.
research Protoporphyrin IX: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Protoporphyrin IX is useful in cancer treatment but can cause health problems if not properly regulated.
research Hair follicle immune privilege and its collapse in alopecia areata
Hair follicles are normally protected from the immune system, but when this protection fails, it can cause hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Methods in hair research: how to objectively distinguish between anagen and catagen in human hair follicle organ culture
A reliable system was developed to distinguish hair growth stages, aiding in identifying hair growth promoters or inhibitors.
research Morpho-Regulation of Ectodermal Organs
Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.
research TRP Channels in Skin Biology and Pathophysiology
TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.
research Biology of the wool follicle: an excursion into a unique tissue interaction system waiting to be re‐discovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
research Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research Local Injection of Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor (HGF/SF) Alters Cyclic Growth of Murine Hair Follicles
HGF/SF injections can stimulate hair growth and increase hair follicle size in mice.
research Recent Advances in the Pathogenesis of Autoimmune Hair Loss Disease Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is caused by immune system attacks on hair follicles, often triggered by viral infections.
research Hormonal Effects on Hair Follicles
Hormones like testosterone and estrogen significantly affect hair growth and structure.
research A Subset of TREM2+ Dermal Macrophages Secretes Oncostatin M to Maintain Hair Follicle Stem Cell Quiescence and Inhibit Hair Growth
Certain immune cells in the skin release a protein that stops hair growth by keeping hair stem cells inactive.
research Hormones and the pilosebaceous unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research Melanocytes: The new Black
Melanocytes are crucial for skin pigmentation and can affect conditions like melanoma, vitiligo, and albinism, as well as hair color and hearing.
research Human Female Hair Follicles Are a Direct, Nonclassical Target for Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone
Thyroid-stimulating hormone affects hair follicles but doesn't change hair growth or color.
research THE PATHOGENESIS OF ALOPECIA AREATA
Alopecia areata is likely caused by a combination of genetic factors and immune system dysfunction, and may represent different diseases with various causes.
research Immune-related alopecia (areata and universalis) in cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors
Cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors may develop alopecia, but some hair regrowth is possible with treatment.
research Antioxidants in dermatology
Antioxidants can benefit skin health but should be used carefully to avoid negative effects.
research Alopecia areata: Animal models illuminate autoimmune pathogenesis and novel immunotherapeutic strategies
Animal models have helped understand hair loss from alopecia areata and find new treatments.
research Pharmacologic interventions in aging hair
Minoxidil and Finasteride are effective for male baldness; more research is needed for hair aging treatments.
research The Role of Hair Follicle Immune Privilege Collapse in Alopecia Areata: Status and Perspectives
Alopecia areata may be treated by restoring hair follicle immune privilege and adjusting immune responses.
research Regulatory mutations in TBX3 disrupt asymmetric hair pigmentation that underlies Dun camouflage color in horses
Mutations in TBX3 cause horses to have more even hair color instead of Dun camouflage.
research Niosomes as a propitious carrier for topical drug delivery
Niosomes are promising for skin drug delivery, offering benefits like improved drug penetration and stability.
research Next generation human skin constructs as advanced tools for drug development
Advanced human skin models improve drug development and could replace animal testing.
research Stress-related skin disorders
Stress can worsen skin conditions by affecting hormone levels and immune response.
research From neural crest cells to melanocytes: cellular plasticity during development and beyond
Melanocyte development from neural crest cells is complex and influenced by many factors, and better understanding could help treat skin disorders.
research Direct conversion of mouse and human fibroblasts to functional melanocytes by defined factors
Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.
research Hair follicle is a target of stress hormone and autoimmune reactions
Stress hormones and autoimmune reactions can cause hair loss.
research Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and PPAR agonists: the ‘future’ in dermatology therapeutics?
PPAR agonists show promise for skin conditions but need more research before being a main treatment.
