People with hair loss, especially those with certain types, have lower zinc levels, and zinc supplements might help.
research Serum Metabolomics Study of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Based on Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry
Women with PCOS have different levels of certain fats and proteins in their blood, which could help diagnose the condition.
research The effects of finasteride on scalp skin and serum androgen levels in men with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride effectively reduces hair loss by decreasing androgen levels.
research Serum Ferritin and Vitamin D in Female Hair Loss: Do They Play a Role?
Low iron and vitamin D levels are linked to hair loss in women.
research Cultured human and rat tooth papilla cells induce hair follicle regeneration and fiber growth
Tooth papilla cells can help regenerate hair follicles and grow hair.
research Serum Levels of Retinol-Binding Protein 4 and Adiponectin in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Associations with Visceral Fat But No Evidence for Fat Mass-Independent Effects on Pathogenesis in This Condition
Women with PCOS have similar levels of certain proteins compared to women without PCOS, and these proteins don't independently cause PCOS.
research Xenobiotica-metabolizing enzymes in the skin of rat, mouse, pig, guinea pig, man, and in human skin models
Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.
research The effect of weight loss and treatment with metformin on serum vaspin levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Weight loss and metformin don't significantly change vaspin levels in women with PCOS.
research Serum Androgens and Genetic Linkage Analysis in Early Onset Androgenetic Alopecia
Early onset hair loss linked to genetics and androgen levels.
research Female pattern hair loss, sebum excretion and the end-organ response to androgens
Hair loss in women not always linked to increased oil production; other factors may be involved.
research Effect of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on serum gonadotropins in normal men.
Finasteride doesn't affect hormone levels in normal men.
research Serum lipocalin-2 as an insulin resistance marker in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
Lipocalin-2 levels are higher in women with PCOS and may indicate insulin resistance.
research Relationship between serum anti-Mullerian hormone and intrafollicular AMH levels in PCOS women
Women with PCOS have higher levels of AMH in their blood and follicles, and this can help predict their risk of overreaction to fertility treatments.
research Fine mapping of the human AR/EDA2R locus in androgenetic alopecia
Genetic marker rs12558842 strongly linked to male hair loss.
research A new hair follicle-derived human epidermal model for the evaluation of sunscreen genoprotection
The new lab-grown skin model is good for testing sunscreen's protection against DNA damage from UV light.
![[4-t-Butylphenyl]-N-(4-imidazol-1-yl phenyl)sulfonamide (ISCK03) Inhibits SCF/c-kit Signaling in 501mel Human Melanoma Cells and Abolishes Melanin Production in Mice and Brownish Guinea Pigs](/images/research/4eb017dc-711d-4926-bcd0-c3b8f48e3a99/small/19974.jpg)
research [4-t-Butylphenyl]-N-(4-imidazol-1-yl phenyl)sulfonamide (ISCK03) inhibits SCF/c-kit signaling in 501mel human melanoma cells and abolishes melanin production in mice and brownish guinea pigs
ISCK03 stops melanin production in human melanoma cells and lightens skin color in mice and guinea pigs.
research The diagnosis of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, based on serum basal or post-ACTH stimulation 17-hydroxyprogesterone, can lead to false-positive diagnosis
Using 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels to diagnose nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in many incorrect diagnoses.
research Microencapsulated human hair dermal papilla cells: a substitute for dermal papilla?
Encapsulated human hair cells can substitute for natural hair cells to grow hair.
research Diffuse alopecia areata is associated with intense inflammatory infiltration and CD8+ T cells in hair loss regions and an increase in serum IgE level
Diffuse alopecia areata involves more inflammation and higher allergy-related antibodies than patchy types.
research Analysis of the microRNA expression profile of normal human dermal papilla cells treated with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT affects hair follicle cells by changing microRNA levels, leading to less cell growth and more cell death.

Hair and serum levels of zinc, copper, and iron are similar in people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals.
research Expression of bioactive recombinant human fibroblast growth factor 10 in Carthamus tinctorius L. seeds
Scientists made safflower seeds produce a human growth factor that could help with hair growth and wound healing.
research Angiogenin is expressed in human dermal papilla cells and stimulates hair growth
Angiogenin helps hair grow by stimulating cell growth and blood vessel formation.
