research 251 Morphogenetic events in hair follicle heterotypic spheroids
The research concluded that hyaluronic acid affects the formation and growth of hair follicle-like structures in a lab setting.
research Estimation of Serum Level of Omentin-1 In Hirsute Female: A Single Center Study
Females with idiopathic hirsutism have higher levels of omentin-1, which may lead to excessive hair growth.
research A transient dermal niche and dual epidermal programs underlie sweat gland development
Sweat gland development involves two unique skin cell programs and a temporary skin environment.
research Intracrinology and The Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research Comparative aspects of the inner root sheath in adult and developing hairs of mammals in relation to the evolution of hairs
The inner root sheath evolved to help hair grow safely through the skin in mammals.
research Heparanase 1: a key participant of inner root sheath differentiation program and hair follicle homeostasis
Heparanase is essential for hair follicle health and inner root sheath differentiation.
research Histomorphometric study of hair follicle of Assam Hill goat during preruminant, transitional and ruminant age groups
Ruminant goats have larger and more defined hair follicles than younger goats.
research Normal Fur Development and Sebum Production Depends on Fatty Acid 2-Hydroxylase Expression in Sebaceous Glands
FA2H is essential for normal fur and sebum production in mice.
research Trichohyalin: A structural protein of hair, tongue, nail, and epidermis
research Scalp Apocrine Glands: The Neglected Component of the Hair Follicle Complex
Scalp apocrine glands may help remove waste and balance electrolytes, but their role is not fully understood.
research Ectopic production of hair keratin constitutes Rushton’s hyaline bodies in association with hematogenous deposits
Rushton's hyaline bodies form from hair keratin and blood substances.
research Trichohyalin Mechanically Strengthens the Hair Follicle
Trichohyalin makes hair follicles stronger.
research Androgen Induction of Follicular Epithelial Cell Growth Is Mediated via Insulin-like Growth Factor-I from Dermal Papilla Cells
Male hormones promote hair cell growth by using a growth factor from nearby skin cells.
research Dehydroepiandrosterone- and glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenases in the hair cycle of the rat
research Histological Study for Skin of Horse
Horse skin has a layered epidermis, a dermis with hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands, and is supplied by small arteries.
research Hairless triggers reactivation of hair growth by promoting Wnt signaling
The HR protein helps hair grow by blocking a hair growth inhibitor, aiding in hair follicle regeneration.
research Morphogenesis- and Hair Cycle-dependent Expression of Trichohyalin, Peptidylarginine Deiminase Type III and Deiminated Trichohyalin in Rat Dorsal Skin Hair Follicles
THH and PAD type III appear together early in hair growth, but deiminated THH appears later, suggesting another factor is involved.
research The Fate of Trichohyalin
Trichohyalin is modified by enzymes to form strong structures in hair cells.
research Gene expression of type 2 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in scalp hairs of hirsute women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research Viewpoint 4
Hidradenitis suppurativa may mainly affect vellus hair follicles, not terminal ones.
research Serine-rich ultra high sulfur protein gene expression in murine hair and skin during the hair cycle
research OR09-5 Importance of Islet Intracrinology for Glucose-Stimulated Insulin Secretion (GSIS) in the Male
Androgens and estrogens are crucial for insulin secretion in males.
research Histomorphological study on the teat (mammary papilla) of Indian buffalo
The Indian buffalo teat has a melanin-rich epidermis, no hair follicles, and a complex structure with muscle, blood vessels, and immune cells.
research Differential sensitivity of epidermal cell subpopulations to β-catenin-induced ectopic hair follicle formation
Sebaceous glands can form new hair follicles when activated, but hair follicle bulges cannot.
research Existence of trichohyalin-keratohyalin hybrid granules: Co-localization of two major intermediate filament-associated proteins in non-follicular epithelia
Trichohyalin is found in non-hair tissues and works with filaggrin in certain skin areas and conditions.
research A practical guide for the study of human and murine sebaceous glands in situ
The guide explains how to study human and mouse sebaceous glands using various staining and imaging techniques, and emphasizes the need for standardized assessment methods.
research Morphological and distribution characteristics of sweat glands in hypertrophic scar and their possible effects on sweat gland regeneration
Scar tissue may regenerate sweat glands from remaining glands or stem cells.
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 [Contribution to hair medulla study (author's transl)].
Hair medullary cells in mammals vary in complexity, with humans having more structured cells similar to inner root sheath cells.
