research Human hair follicles are an extrarenal source and a nonhematopoietic target of erythropoietin
Human hair follicles produce and respond to erythropoietin, helping protect against stress.
research Hirsutism and baldness
Excessive hair growth in women can be treated with medications like spironolactone and finasteride, and male-pattern baldness in women can be improved with similar treatments.
research Postmenopausal Ovarian Hyperthecosis Associated with Rapid Testosterone Excess
Removing both ovaries can treat increased testosterone and related symptoms in postmenopausal women with ovarian hyperthecosis.
research Spatiotemporal Switches in Progenitor Cell Fate Govern Upper Hair Follicle Growth and Maintenance
Progenitor cells randomly decide their roles to maintain hair follicle growth.
research Hirsutism
Excessive hair growth in women, often from high androgen levels, is usually caused by PCOS, and can be treated with hair removal, medication, and possibly weight loss.
research Seasonal fiber growth cycles of ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) and long‐term effects of melatonin treatment
Melatonin treatment made ferrets grow their fur earlier and affected their breeding time.
research 1392 Activation of Id2 gene regulatory network ruling quiescence of hair follicle stem cells
Id2 gene helps keep hair follicle stem cells inactive.
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 LncRNA RP11-818O24.3 promotes hair-follicle recovery via FGF2-PI3K/Akt signal pathway
research Can the Hair Follicle Become a Model for Studying Selected Aspects of Human Ocular Immune Privilege?
Hair follicles could help develop eye treatments by studying immune responses.
research 773 Generation of human hair follicle organoids in vitro and ex vivo by co-culture of primary human hair matrix keratinocytes and dermal papilla fibroblasts
Scientists successfully grew mini hair follicles using human skin cells, which could help treat baldness.
research Hirsutism: Evaluation and treatment
Excessive hair growth can be assessed by history, exam, and blood tests, and treated with medication like dexamethasone, birth control pills, and spironolactone.
research The microfollicle: a model of the human hair follicle for in vitro studies
Microfollicles can effectively model human hair follicles for research and testing.
research Isolation of a Novel Population of Multipotent Adult Stem Cells from Human Hair Follicles
Human hair follicles can provide stem cells for regenerative medicine.
research LncRNAs regulate the cyclic growth and development of hair follicles in Dorper sheep
Certain long non-coding RNAs are important for controlling hair growth cycles in sheep.
research Single follicular unit transplantation reconstructs arrector pili muscle and nerve connections and restores functional hair follicle piloerection
Hair transplant surgery can rebuild muscle and nerve connections, allowing transplanted hairs to stand up like normal hairs.
research Insulin resistance, nitric oxide, and fibrinogen levels in white hirsute women: Defining a new paradigm based on translational research
White hirsute women with PCOS have higher insulin resistance, but similar nitric oxide and fibrinogen levels compared to those with idiopathic hirsutism.
research Canine Follicle Stem Cell Candidates Reside in the Bulge and Share Characteristic Features with Human Bulge Cells
Canine hair follicles have stem cells similar to human hair follicles, useful for studying hair disorders.
research Ovine Hair Follicle Stem Cells Derived from Single Vibrissae Reconstitute Haired Skin
Ovine hair follicle stem cells can regenerate haired skin and may improve wool production.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Live imaging of stem cell and progeny behaviour in physiological hair-follicle regeneration.
Scientists used a special imaging technique to observe that hair follicle regeneration involves cell division and structural changes, mostly in the lower part of the follicle, and that the dermal papilla at the base is crucial for regrowth.
research In situ formed fluorescent gold nanoclusters inhibit hair follicle regeneration in oxidative stress microenvironment via suppressing NFκB signal pathway
Tiny glowing gold particles can stop hair growth by blocking a specific cell signal.
research T-Regulating Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Special immune cells called Treg cells are important for maintaining and regenerating hair by activating a specific growth signal in hair stem cells.
research Hair Cycle Resting Phase Is Regulated by Cyclic Epithelial FGF18 Signaling
FGF18 helps keep hair in its resting phase, affecting hair growth cycles.
research MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BASIS OF EXOGEN AND ANAGEN INDUCTION
Hair growth and shedding involve specific cell changes and gene roles.
research Foxc1 reinforces quiescence in self-renewing hair follicle stem cells
Foxc1 helps keep hair follicle stem cells inactive, preventing hair loss.
research Thyroid and gonadal regulation of hair growth during the seasonal molt in the male European badger, Meles meles L
Thyroid and gonadal hormones control seasonal hair growth and molting in male European badgers.
research The evaluation and management of hirsutism*1
Most women with excess hair growth have an underlying hormonal issue, often treated with medication and hair removal methods.
research The role of the adrenal glands in regulating onset of winter fur growth in mink (Mustela vison)
Adrenal glands delay the start of winter fur growth in mink.
research Generation of human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived adherent 3-dimensional skin hair-follicle organoids
