research Hairless: A nuclear receptor corepressor essential for skin function
The Hairless gene is crucial for healthy skin and hair growth.
research Spontaneous hair follicle germ (HFG) formation in vitro, enabling the large-scale production of HFGs for regenerative medicine
Researchers found a new way to create hair-growing structures in the lab that can grow hair when put into mice.
research Treatment of an alopecia areata patient with tofacitinib results in regrowth of hair and changes in serum and skin biomarkers
A patient with alopecia areata regrew hair after taking tofacitinib and showed changes in certain blood and skin markers.
research Expression of mRNA for androgen receptor, 5alpha-reductase and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human dermal papilla cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
research Plasma-Polymerised Antibacterial Coating of Ovine Tendon Collagen Type I (OTC) Crosslinked with Genipin (GNP) and Dehydrothermal-Crosslinked (DHT) as a Cutaneous Substitute for Wound Healing
The GNP crosslinked scaffold with antibacterial coating is effective for rapid wound healing and infection prevention.
research Hedgehog signaling reprograms hair follicle niche fibroblasts to a hyper-activated state
Overactivating Hedgehog signaling makes hair follicle cells in mice grow hair faster and create more follicles.
research INTRODUCING GAP IN HAIR FOLLICLE ELECTROMAGNETISM AS MECHANISM FOR THE PRESENCE OF BIPOLAR ELECTRICAL CHARGES INHERENT IN THE HUMAN HAIR SHAFT
Human hair has bipolar electrical charges because of a gap in the hair follicle's electromagnetic field.
research TERT/BMI1-transgenic human dermal papilla cells enhance murine hair follicle formation in vivo
Adding TERT and BMI1 to certain skin cells can improve their ability to create hair follicles in mice.
research Dual-Action Icariin-Containing Thermosensitive Hydrogel for Wound Macrophage Polarization and Hair-Follicle Neogenesis
The gel with icariin speeds up wound healing, reduces scarring, and helps hair growth by controlling BMP4 signaling. It also reduces inflammation and improves wound quality in mice, adapts to different wound shapes, and gradually releases icariin to aid healing. It also prevents too much collagen and myofibroblast formation during skin healing.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma and Acellular Dermal Matrix in the Surgical Treatment of Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Comparative Retrospective Study
PRP and ADM-STSG co-grafts improve healing and reduce complications in hidradenitis suppurativa surgery.
