Understanding EGFR roles could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Cellular and extracellular involvement in the regeneration of the rat lower vibrissa follicle
Both cell and non-cell parts are important for rat whisker follicle regrowth.
research Krtap11-1, a hair keratin-associated protein, as a possible crucial element for the physical properties of hair shafts
Krtap11-1 is important for hair strength and structure.
research Protein and sulphur amino acid nutrition of hair fibre-producing Angora and Cashmere goats
Giving high-quality protein or methionine supplements helps improve hair growth in Angora goats and, to a lesser extent, in Cashmere goats.
research Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor and proglucagon expression in mouse skin
Mice skin has components that could help with hair growth and might be used for diabetes treatment.
research Molecular insights into chronotype and time-of-day effects on decision-making
People's decision-making can be influenced by their internal biological clocks, as shown by gene expression, not just self-reported preferences for morning or evening.
research The bright side of fibroblasts: molecular signature and regenerative cues in major organs
Fibroblasts, cells usually linked to tissue repair, also help regenerate various organs and their ability decreases with age. Turning adult fibroblasts back to a younger state could be a new treatment approach.
research Methods for quantifying intrafollicular drug delivery: a critical appraisal
The document concludes that there is no agreed-upon best method for measuring drug delivery within hair follicles and more research is needed to validate current techniques.
research Biphasic Effects of Minoxidil on the Proliferation and Differentiation of Normal Human Keratinocytes
Minoxidil affects cell growth in two ways: low doses increase growth, while high doses slow it down and can be toxic.
research Development and characterization of minoxidil-loaded liposomal system for delivery to pilosebaceous units
Minoxidil-loaded liposomes effectively deliver to hair follicles, potentially improving hair growth and treating alopecia.
research A Missense Mutation within the Helix Termination Motif of KRT25 Causes Autosomal Dominant Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis
A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes woolly hair and hair loss.
research Touch Receptors Undergo Rapid Remodeling in Healthy Skin
Touch sensitivity in mouse skin decreases during hair growth due to changes in touch receptors.
research Meis1 Regulates Epidermal Stem Cells and Is Required for Skin Tumorigenesis
Meis1 is crucial for skin health and tumor development.
research The CD44+ALDH+ Population of Human Keratinocytes Is Enriched for Epidermal Stem Cells with Long-Term Repopulating Ability
Certain human skin cells marked by CD44 and ALDH are rich in stem cells capable of long-term skin renewal.
research A Splice Site Mutation in the Gene of the Human Type I Hair Keratin hHa1 Results in the Expression of a Tailless Keratin Isoform
A genetic mutation in the hHa1 gene creates a smaller, but still functional, hair protein without causing hair problems.
research Developing stratified epithelia: lessons from the epidermis and thymus
The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
research Harnessing neuroendocrine controls of keratin expression: A new therapeutic strategy for skin diseases?
Using neurohormones to control keratin can lead to new skin disease treatments.
research The topography of fibrous scaffolds modulates the paracrine function of Ad-MSCs in the regeneration of skin tissues
The shape of fibrous scaffolds can improve how stem cells help heal skin.
research The role of lysophosphatidic acid in the physiology and pathology of the skin
Lysophosphatidic acid is important for skin health and disease, and could be a target for new skin disorder treatments.
research Dynamic expression of ornithine decarboxylase in hair growth
Ornithine decarboxylase is crucial for hair growth and follicle development.
research Crosstalk between androgen and Wnt/β-catenin leads to changes of wool density in FGF5-knockout sheep
Blocking the FGF5 gene in sheep leads to more fine wool and active hair follicles due to changes in certain cell signaling pathways.
research Skin transcriptome profiling of Changthangi goats highlights the relevance of genes involved in Pashmina production
Changthangi goats have specific genes that help produce Pashmina wool.
research Conventional and novel stem cell based therapies for androgenic alopecia
Stem cell technologies and regenerative medicine, including platelet-rich plasma, show promise for hair restoration in treating hair loss, but more research is needed.
research DNA Damage-Inducible Transcript 4 Is an Innate Surveillant of Hair Follicular Stress in Vitamin D Receptor Knockout Mice and a Regulator of Wound Re-Epithelialization
Vitamin D receptor is important for regulating hair growth and wound healing in mice.
research Wanted, dead and alive: Why a multidisciplinary approach is needed to unlock hair treatment potential
Different fields of expertise must work together to better understand hair growth and create effective hair loss treatments.
