research CD34 glycoprotein identifies putative stem cells located in the isthmic region of canine hair follicles
CD34 marks potential stem cells in dog hair follicles.
research An Update on Drug-Induced Pigmentation
Some drugs can cause skin and hair color changes, often reversible when the drug is stopped.
research Clinical Case Seminar: Postmenopausal androgen excess-challenges in diagnostic work-up and management of ovarian thecosis
The conclusion is that removing both ovaries is the best treatment for excess male hormones in postmenopausal women, with medication as another option, and managing insulin resistance is important for diagnosis and treatment.
research Honokiol protects skin cells against inflammation, collagenolysis, apoptosis, and senescence caused by cigarette smoke damage
Honokiol helps protect skin from damage and aging caused by cigarette smoke.
research Human placental extract exerts hair growth-promoting effects through the GSK-3β signaling pathway in human dermal papilla cells
Human placental extract may help hair growth by affecting certain cell signals and could be more effective with minoxidil.
research Peripheral blood gene expression in alopecia areata reveals molecular pathways distinguishing heritability, disease and severity
Blood tests can help understand the genetic differences in people with alopecia areata, including how severe it is and if it's inherited.
research An Investigation of Apoptosis in Androgenetic Alopecia
Apoptosis contributes to hair loss in androgenetic alopecia.
research Lasers, Microneedling, and Platelet-Rich Plasma for Skin Rejuvenation and Repair
