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 Endocrine Influences on Hair Growth
Hormones and genetics affect hair growth and patterns, with some changes reversible and others not.
research HAIR AND SYSTEMATIC DISEASE
Hair loss can indicate underlying systemic diseases and addressing these can sometimes reverse the hair loss.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Cause of Androgenic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by scalp pressure on hair follicles, which increases with age and leads to a cycle of hair loss. This process is not directly determined by genes.
research The Effect of Parathyroid Hormones on Hair Follicle Physiology: Implications for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Parathyroid hormones are important for hair growth, but their use in treating hair loss from chemotherapy is still uncertain.
research Hair: A Review of Prominent Scalp Hair Changes throughout a Females’ Life
Women's hair gets thinner and grayer as they age, with treatments available for hair loss and graying.
research Hair coat characteristics in Friesian heifers in the Netherlands and Kenya : experimental data and a review of literature
Friesian heifers take about 18 months to adapt to Kenya's climate, with hair changes not strongly linked to weight gain.
research Hair Follicle Dermal Stem Cells Regenerate the Dermal Sheath, Repopulate the Dermal Papilla, and Modulate Hair Type
Hair follicle dermal stem cells are key for regenerating parts of the hair follicle and determining hair type.
research PBX homeobox 1 enhances hair follicle mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and reprogramming through activation of the AKT/glycogen synthase kinase signaling pathway and suppression of apoptosis
PBX1 helps hair stem cells grow and change by turning on certain cell signals and preventing cell death, which may be useful for hair regrowth treatments.
research The Effect of Alfacalcidiol and Metformin on Phenotype Manifestations in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome – a Preliminary Study
Alfacalcidiol and metformin together lowered testosterone in women with PCOS, but did not significantly improve acne, hair growth, or pregnancy rates.
research Hair loss
The document concludes that hair loss is common and can be treated with medications like minoxidil or surgical options, and it significantly affects people's psychological well-being.
research Mechanotransductive Differentiation of Hair Follicle Stem Cells Derived from Aged Eyelid Skin into Corneal Endothelial-Like Cells
Hair follicle stem cells from aged eyelid skin can become corneal endothelial-like cells for potential eye treatments.
research TYPICAL MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SKIN STRUCTURE OF THE HAIR PART OF THE NORMAL HUMAN HEAD AND WITH HAIR LOSS
Androgenic alopecia causes hair follicle degradation and skin restructuring, but some hair elements remain.
research Adipose-Derived Stem Cells and Their Secretory Factors for Skin Aging and Hair Loss
Fat-derived stem cells and their secretions show promise for treating skin aging and hair loss.
research Nitrogen and carbon isotope signatures in cattle hair
Cattle hair isotope analysis can reveal diet and farm system characteristics.
research Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), a Cosmetic Treatment for Hair Restoration in Asians
SMP creates illusion of full hair, addressing various issues and bringing happiness to those with thinning hair.
