research Stress-sensing in the human greying hair follicle: Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) depletion in hair bulb melanocytes in canities-prone scalp
Hair greying is linked to reduced ATM protein in hair cells, which protects against stress and damage.
research Interaction between early postnatal neurosteroid manipulations and adult infusion of neurosteroids into CA1 hippocampal region on the open field behaviour
Early neurosteroid changes can alter adult brain function and behavior.
research Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals the Molecular Anatomy of Sheep Hair Follicle Heterogeneity and Wool Curvature
The research identified genes that explain why some sheep have curly wool and others have straight wool.
research Expression of lipid-protein gene PLP2 in Liaoning cashmere goat
The PLP2 gene affects cashmere fiber quality in goats and is linked to hair growth and loss.
research Involucrin, but not filaggrin and Kdap mRNA, expression is downregulated in 3-D cultures of intact rat hair bulbs after calcium stimulation
Calcium reduces involucrin in rat hair bulbs but doesn't affect filaggrin and Kdap.
research An Antifungal for Antidiuresis?
Fluconazole might be a new treatment for a type of diabetes that affects water balance in the body.
research Characteristic Localization of Neuronatin in Rat Testis, Hair Follicle, Tongue, and Pancreas
Neuronatin is found in specific cells within rat testis, hair follicles, tongue, and pancreas, suggesting it has various roles in tissue development and function.
research In-Silico Modelling of Transdermal Delivery of Macromolecule Drugs Assisted by a Skin Stretching Hypobaric Device
The simulation showed that hypobaric pressure improves drug delivery through the skin, but stretching alone doesn't fully explain the increase.
research Immunologic findings in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
CCCA may be caused by both hair traction and an immune response.

Lipase H is important for hair follicle function and shaping hair fibers.
research Ethnomycological Study of Macrofungi Utilized by Pamona Community Around Lake Poso, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia
The Pamona community uses 21 types of mushrooms for food, medicine, and other needs, highlighting the importance of conserving these resources.
research 764 DNA dioxygenases Tet1/2/3 control hair matrix keratinocyte differentiation and hair shaft shape via regulation of hair keratin gene expression
The enzymes Tet1, Tet2, and Tet3 are important for the development of hair follicles and determining hair shape by controlling hair keratin genes.
research 1319 Claudin-1 and -3 maintain proper hair follicle structure and regulate telogen effluvium
Claudin-1 and Claudin-3 are crucial for keeping hair follicle structure and preventing a type of hair loss called telogen effluvium.
research New Activators and Inhibitors in the Hair Cycle Clock: Targeting Stem Cells’ State of Competence
The conclusion is that Fgf18 and Tgf-ß signaling could be targeted for hair loss treatments.

research Hidradenitis suppurativa: pathogenesis and management
Hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic skin disease, can be managed with antibiotics, lifestyle changes, and in severe cases, surgery. Early diagnosis and careful planning are key, and laser treatment can be an efficient solution for mild to severe cases.
research Cicatricial (Scarring) Alopecias
Scarring alopecias are complex hair loss disorders that require early treatment to prevent permanent hair loss.
