research Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Hair Oil
Herbal hair oil made with natural ingredients helps reduce hair loss, dandruff, and graying.
research Morphological Changes of Human Hair Related to "Graying".
Gray hair affects hair's movement and appearance, making it less bouncy and more wavy.
research Dermal Adipose Tissue Secretes HGF to Promote Human Hair Growth and Pigmentation
Fat under the skin releases HGF which helps hair grow and gain color.
research A simple assay for the study of human hair follicle damage induced by ionizing irradiation
Ionizing radiation damages human hair follicles by stopping cell growth, causing cell death, disrupting color, and increasing stress and damage markers.
research Paracrine Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein 4 Inhibits Melanocytes Differentiation in Hair Follicle
A protein called sFRP4 from skin cells stops the development of pigment-producing cells in hair.
research Hair Growth Cycle Affects Hair Follicle Destruction by Ruby Laser Pulses
Ruby laser pulses best destroy hair follicles during the growth phase and effectiveness varies with laser intensity; melanin is key for targeting, and timing treatments can improve results.
research About photo-damage of human hair
We don't fully understand how sunlight damages different types of hair.
research A Nonrandomized study of trichoscopy patterns using nonpolarized (contact) and polarized (noncontact) dermatoscopy in hair and shaft disorders
Polarized dermoscopy is slightly better than nonpolarized for diagnosing hair disorders, with each method having its own strengths.
research Exposure to gamma-rays at the telogen phase of the hair cycle inhibits hair follicle regeneration at the anagen phase in mice
Gamma-rays exposure during the resting phase of hair growth can damage hair regeneration and color in mice.
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 Bone Morphogenetic Proteins and Their Antagonists in Skin and Hair Follicle Biology
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) help control skin health, hair growth, and color, and could potentially be used to treat skin and hair disorders.
research Physiologic skin changes in pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause skin darkening, varicose veins, more sweating, hair growth, hair loss after birth, nail changes, and gum inflammation.
research Physiological Skin Changes During Pregnancy
Most skin changes during pregnancy go away after giving birth.
research Age-Related Changes in Hair Shaft Protein Profiling and Genetically Variant Peptides
Genetically variant peptides are reliable for forensic identification despite age-related changes in hair proteins.
research Within-person changes of cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone in hair across pregnancy, with comparison to a non-pregnant reference group
Hormone levels in hair change during pregnancy, with progesterone increasing significantly compared to non-pregnant women.
research Multiple Roles of Integrin-Linked Kinase in Epidermal Development, Maturation and Pigmentation Revealed by Molecular Profiling
ILK is essential for skin development, pigmentation, and healing.
research Early skin seeding regulatory T cells modulate PPARγ-dependent skin pigmentation
Early regulatory T cells are crucial for normal skin pigmentation.
research Qualitative investigation of fresh human scalp hair with full-field optical coherence tomography
Melanin density affects hair color, and this method can help in cosmetic assessments and diagnosing hair diseases.
research Functionally distinct melanocyte populations revealed by reconstitution of hair follicles in mice
Only skin melanocytes, not other types, can color hair in mice.
research Biology of hair pigmentation and its role in premature canities
Early hair graying is often inherited and influenced by genetics, environment, and lifestyle, but treatment options are limited.
research Growth of the Hair
Hair growth is cyclic and influenced mainly by local factors.
research Coordinated Activation of Wnt in Epithelial and Melanocyte Stem Cells Initiates Pigmented Hair Regeneration
Wnt signaling is crucial for pigmented hair regeneration by controlling stem cell activation and differentiation.
research Drug-Induced Skin, Nail and Hair Disorders
Some drugs can cause skin, nail, and hair problems, which are important for healthcare professionals to recognize and report.
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 Regulation of melanocyte stem cells in the pigmentation of skin and its appendages: Biological patterning and therapeutic potentials
Understanding how melanocyte stem cells work could lead to new treatments for hair graying and skin pigmentation disorders.
research Dietary isoflavone increases insulin-like growth factor-I production, thereby promoting hair growth in mice
Eating isoflavone can help mice grow hair by increasing a growth factor.
research Morphological changes in human head hair subjected to various drug testing decontamination strategies
Different hair cleaning methods caused varying levels of damage to the hair's outer layer.
research Pigmentation and Pregnancy
Most skin changes during pregnancy are harmless and moles don't significantly change, but many women experience pigmentation changes due to hormones and sun exposure.
