research Melatonin Receptors and Their Role in Human Diseases
Melatonin receptors, found in many body parts, can help treat various diseases like depression and diabetes due to their effects on inflammation, tumor progression, sleep disorders, and body mass regulation.
research Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture in a Manner Dependent on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.
research Isolation and Quantification of Glycosaminoglycans from Human Hair Shaft
Human hair contains more glycosaminoglycans in children than adults, and these compounds decrease with age, possibly affecting hair thickness.
research 033 IL-15 is an unexpected guardian of hair follicle immune privilege and promotes human hair growth ex vivo
IL-15 helps protect hair follicles from immune attacks and encourages hair growth.
research Trace Elements in Human Hair : III) Variation in the Contents of Iron, Copper and Zinc by Age and Sex.
Women generally have higher levels of iron, copper, and zinc in their hair than men, with differences increasing with age.
research Morphology and ultrastructure of antler velvet hair and body hair from red deer (Cervus elaphus)
Antler velvet hair and body hair of red deer have different structures that help with protection and insulation.
research Why Mammal Body Hair Is an Evolutionary Enigma
The evolution of mammal body hair remains a mystery.
research Diurnal Preference Predicts Phase Differences in Expression of Human Peripheral Circadian Clock Genes
An individual's morning or evening preference can predict changes in their body clock gene expression.
research Oil Body-Bound Oleosin-rhFGF-10: A Novel Drug Delivery System that Improves Skin Penetration to Accelerate Wound Healing and Hair Growth in Mice
A new drug delivery system using oil body-bound oleosin-rhFGF-10 improves wound healing and hair growth in mice.
research Growth retardation and hair loss in transgenic mice overexpressing human H-ferritin gene
Overexpressing the human H-ferritin gene in mice causes mild growth delay and temporary hair loss.
research Gly-Pro-Val-Gly-Pro-Ser Low Molecular Weight Fish Collagen Peptide Promotes Hair Regeneration in Human Dermal Papilla Cells and C57BL/6 Mice.
Fish collagen peptide may boost hair growth and health.
research Arabidopsis Oil Body-Expressed Oleosin-rhFGF5 Inhibits Hair Growth in Mouse
A protein made in a plant stopped hair growth in mice.
research Cultured dermal papilla cells from androgen-dependent human hair follicles (e.g. beard) contain more androgen receptors than those from non-balding areas of scalp
Beard hair follicles have more androgen receptors than non-balding scalp hair follicles.
research An out-of-lab trial: a case example for the effect of intensive exercise on rhythms of human clock gene expression
Intense exercise at night can delay the body's internal clock gene expression by 2 to 4 hours.
research A novel missense mutation (C622G) in the zinc‐finger domain of the human hairless gene associated with congenital atrichia with papular lesions
A new gene mutation causes a rare type of hair loss.
research Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and Testosterone Concentrations in Human Hair after Chronic DHEA Supplementation
Chronic DHEA supplementation slightly increases testosterone in hair but stays within safe limits.
research In search of decoding the syntax of the bioelements in human hair – A critical overview
Hair analysis can show nutritional status and environmental exposure, with phosphorus being very stable in hair and differences found based on gender and conditions like depression and autism.
research Biocompatibility of KAPs-Depleted Residual Hair
KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.
research HAIR AND BLOOD ENDOGENOUS LOW LEVEL BIOMAGNETIC FIELDS CROSS-TALK EFFECTS ON FIBRIN INHIBITION AND ROULEAU FORMATION
Human hair's biomagnetic fields can affect blood cell clumping and coagulation.
research Concise Review: Human Dermis as an Autologous Source of Stem Cells for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
Human skin can provide stem cells for tissue repair and regeneration, but there are challenges in obtaining and growing these cells safely.
research Comparison of artificial sebum with human and hamster sebum samples
Artificial sebum L closely mimics human sebum for drug delivery research.
