research Obesity and female androgenic alopecia: A cause and an effect?
Obesity may contribute to female hair loss by increasing male hormone levels that affect hair follicles.
research A Monoclonal Antibody Established from the Immunization of Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) Tissues Reacts to the Intercellular Space of BCC and Hair Follicles
The antibody created from BCC tissues reacts similarly to both BCC and hair follicles, suggesting BCC may come from hair follicle cells.
research Expression patterns of MITF during human cutaneous embryogenesis: evidence for bulge epithelial expression and persistence of dermal melanoblasts
Melanocyte precursors in human fetal skin follow a specific migration pattern and some remain in the skin's deeper layers.
research Androgenic Alopecia and Stress-Induced Premature Senescence by Cumulative Ultraviolet Light Exposure
Chronic exposure to sunlight may worsen male pattern baldness and protecting the scalp from the sun could slow it down.
research The Contributory Roles of Th17 Lymphocyte and Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte at the Hair Bulge Region as Well as the Hair Bulb Area in the Chronic Alopecia Areata Patients
Certain immune cells contribute to severe hair loss in chronic alopecia areata, with Th17 cells possibly having a bigger impact than cytotoxic T cells.
research Resident CD34-positive cells contribute to peri-endothelial cells and vascular morphogenesis in salivary gland after irradiation
CD34-positive cells help repair and form new blood vessels in salivary glands after radiation.
research Dickkopf-1 Expression in Androgenetic Alopecia and Alopecia Areata in Male Patients
DKK-1 gene linked to hair loss in AGA and AA patients; more research needed for potential therapy.
research The effect of experimental hypothyroidism on the skin of adult male albino rats and the therapeutic role of topical triiodothyronine
Hypothyroidism harms rat skin, but topical triiodothyronine may help improve it.
research Data from Elevated Cutaneous Smad Activation Associates with Enhanced Skin Tumor Susceptibility in Organ Transplant Recipients
Higher TGF-β signaling may increase skin cancer risk in organ transplant recipients.
research Effect of high-fructose diet on the renal cortex of adult male albino rats
High-fructose diets can cause irreversible kidney damage.
research 138 Characterization of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes of a reconstructed human epidermal model from adult hair follicles
The reconstructed skin model from hair follicles functions like human skin in processing chemicals and can be used to test ingredient safety.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor β Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor α and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
research Use of high dose cyproterone acetate and risk of intracranial meningioma in women: cohort study
High doses of cyproterone acetate increase the risk of brain tumors in women, but the risk decreases after stopping the medication.
research Plasmacytoid dendritic cells in alopecia areata: missing link?
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells are a key factor in causing hair loss in alopecia areata and could help differentiate it from other hair loss conditions.
research The utility of elastic Verhoeff-Van Gieson staining in dermatopathology
EVG staining is a valuable, simple, and cost-effective method for diagnosing various skin conditions in dermatopathology.
research Safety concerns regarding 5α reductase inhibitors for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
5α reductase inhibitors treat hair loss but may cause sexual side effects and risks.
research Proliferative and necrotizing otitis externa in four cats
Topical 0.1% tacrolimus significantly improved ear infections in cats.
research In Vitro Main Pathways of Steroid Action in Cultured Hair Follicle Cells: Vascular Approach
Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.
research Caspase-1 Level Is Higher in the Scalp in Androgenetic Alopecia
Higher caspase-1 levels found in balding scalps; reducing it may help treat hair loss.
research DHT deficiency perturbs the integrity of the rat seminiferous epithelium by disrupting tight and adherens junctions
DHT deficiency can disrupt cell connections in rat testes, possibly affecting fertility.
research Deficiency of the human cysteine protease inhibitor cystatin M/E causes hypotrichosis and dry skin
Lack of cystatin M/E causes thin hair and dry skin.
research Histochemical observations of lectin-binding sites and keratin distribution in calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe.
Tumor cells in calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe resemble hair follicle cells.
research CD44 expression in alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia
No CD44 in alopecia areata, present in normal and androgenetic alopecia.
research c-Kit - The Novel Receptor: Physiological Roles, Downstream Signaling and Implications in Cancer
c-Kit is important for heart regeneration and cancer development.
research Connective tissue sheath of hair follicle is a major source of dermal type I procollagen in human scalp
The hair follicle's connective tissue is a key source of a certain collagen in human scalp skin.
research Increased expression of psoriasin (S100A7) and interleukin 17 (IL-17) in lesional skin in lichen planopilaris
S100A7 and IL-17 may contribute to inflammation in lichen planopilaris.
