research Hair removal with intense pulsed light
Intense pulsed light (IPL) is an efficient and safe method for hair removal, reducing hair by about 80%.
research Reflections on how wound healing-promoting effects of the hair follicle can be translated into clinical practice
Hair follicles can help wounds heal faster and this knowledge could be used to treat chronic skin ulcers, with a potential use of a special stem cell hydrogel to enhance healing.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration in Skin Grafts: Current Concepts and Future Perspectives
Hair follicle regeneration in skin grafts may be possible using stem cells and tissue engineering.
research Aging in hair follicle stem cells and niche microenvironment
Aging in hair follicle stem cells leads to hair graying, thinning, and loss.
research Deciphering the functions of the hair follicle infundibulum in skin physiology and disease
The hair follicle infundibulum plays a key role in skin health and disease, and understanding it better could lead to new skin disease treatments.
research Oxidative stress management in the hair follicle: Could targeting NRF2 counter age‐related hair disorders and beyond?
Activating NRF2 might help treat hair disorders by improving antioxidant defenses.
research Keratinocyte Stem Cells but Not Melanocyte Stem Cells Are the Primary Target for Radiation-Induced Hair Graying
Radiation mainly affects keratinocyte stem cells, not melanocyte stem cells, causing hair to gray.
research A novel cosmetic approach to treat thinning hair
A new hair treatment with caffeine and other ingredients makes hair thicker and less likely to break.
research Tissue engineering strategies for human hair follicle regeneration: How far from a hairy goal?
Fully regenerating human hair follicles not yet achieved.
research Adenosine stimulates growth of dermal papilla and lengthens the anagen phase by increasing the cysteine level via fibroblast growth factors 2 and 7 in an organ culture of mouse vibrissae hair follicles
Adenosine helps hair grow longer and stronger by boosting certain growth factors and signaling pathways.
research L ‐Carnitine–L ‐tartrate promotes human hair growth in vitro
L-Carnitine-L-tartrate may help hair grow and prevent hair loss.
research Raman spectroscopy and electronic microscopy structural studies of Caucasian and Afro human hair
Hair treatments cause significant structural changes, especially with excessive heat, regardless of ethnicity.
research Differential expression and functionality of ATP-binding cassette transporters in the human hair follicle
Certain transporters are found in human hair follicles and may affect hair growth and loss.
research Nuclear Factor I-C Regulates TGF-β-dependent Hair Follicle Cycling*
Nuclear Factor I-C is important for controlling hair growth by affecting the TGF-β1 pathway.
research Dihydrotestosterone-induced hair regrowth inhibition by activating androgen receptor in C57BL6 mice simulates androgenetic alopecia
DHT stops hair regrowth in mice, similar to human hair loss.
research Extended theory of selective photothermolysis: A new recipe for hair cooking?
Permanent hair removal is hard, but using longer laser pulses at lower power might improve results.
research Wnt1a maintains characteristics of dermal papilla cells that induce mouse hair regeneration in a 3D preculture system
Wnt1a helps keep cells that can grow hair effective for potential hair loss treatments.
research Hair growth stimulatory effect by a combination of 5-aminolevulinic acid and iron ion
A mix of 5-aminolevulinic acid and iron ion can speed up hair growth.
research Laser hair removal
Laser hair removal works well for people with dark hair and light skin, but it's less effective for light hair or dark skin; improvements are expected.
research Hair growth-modulation by adrenergic drugs
Certain drugs can cause early hair growth in mice by affecting the nerves.
research The structure of hair and follicles of mice carrying the naked (N) gene
Mice with the naked gene have missing or abnormal hair cells.
research Protective effect of Korean Red Ginseng against chemotherapeutic drug-induced premature catagen development assessed with human hair follicle organ culture model
Korean Red Ginseng may protect against hair loss caused by chemotherapy.
research The Contributory Roles of Th17 Lymphocyte and Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte at the Hair Bulge Region as Well as the Hair Bulb Area in the Chronic Alopecia Areata Patients
Certain immune cells contribute to severe hair loss in chronic alopecia areata, with Th17 cells possibly having a bigger impact than cytotoxic T cells.
research Prevention of lipid loss from hair by surface and internal modification
Surface and internal treatments can help prevent hair lipid loss during washing.
research Pre-aggregation of scalp progenitor dermal and epidermal stem cells activates the WNT pathway and promotes hair follicle formation in in vitro and in vivo systems
Grouping certain skin cells together activates a growth pathway that helps create new hair follicles.
research Regeneration of Hair Follicles Is Modulated by Flightless I (Flii) in a Rodent Vibrissa Model
Flightless I protein affects hair growth, with low levels delaying it and high levels increasing hair length in rodents.
research Follicular cell implantation: an update on “hair follicle cloning”
The document concludes that while "hair follicle cloning" shows promise for unlimited donor hair, it faces challenges with consistency and safety in humans.
research Development of a new GC–MS/MS method for the determination of metformin in human hair
A new method was created to measure metformin in hair, showing potential for monitoring treatment and medical investigations.
research In vivo monitoring of hair cycle stages via bioluminescence imaging of hair follicle NG2 cells
