research Calcineurin/Nfatc1 signaling links skin stem cell quiescence to hormonal signaling during pregnancy and lactation
Hormones during pregnancy and lactation keep skin stem cells inactive, preventing hair growth.
research Perifollicular erythema as a trichoscopy sign of progression in frontal fibrosing alopecia
Perifollicular erythema can indicate active frontal fibrosing alopecia.
research Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture in a Manner Dependent on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.
research Androgen modulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in androgenetic alopecia
Androgens may block hair growth signals, targeting this could treat hair loss.
research Stimulation of the Follicular Bulge LGR5+ and LGR6+ Stem Cells with the Gut-Derived Human Alpha Defensin 5 Results in Decreased Bacterial Presence, Enhanced Wound Healing, and Hair Growth from Tissues Devoid of Adnexal Structures
Human alpha defensin 5 helps heal wounds, reduce bacteria, and grow hair on burned skin.
research Hair loss and herbs for treatment
Herbs can potentially treat hair loss by inhibiting a key enzyme and promoting hair growth, and deficiencies in zinc, biotin, and iron are linked to hair loss.
research Induction of Hair Growth by Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 in 1,763 MHz Radiofrequency-Irradiated Hair Follicle Cells
Radiofrequency exposure can stimulate hair growth by increasing IGF-1 in hair follicle cells.
research A cell-based system for screening hair growth-promoting agents
Apigenin may help promote hair growth and could treat hair loss.
research Effect of topical application of raspberry ketone on dermal production of insulin-like growth factor-I in mice and on hair growth and skin elasticity in humans
Raspberry ketone may help grow hair and improve skin elasticity.
research The efficacy and safety of dutasteride compared with finasteride in treating men with androgenetic alopecia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Dutasteride more effectively treats hair loss than finasteride, but may increase risk of altered libido.
research Aging in hair follicle stem cells and niche microenvironment
Aging in hair follicle stem cells leads to hair graying, thinning, and loss.
research Deciphering the functions of the hair follicle infundibulum in skin physiology and disease
The hair follicle infundibulum plays a key role in skin health and disease, and understanding it better could lead to new skin disease treatments.
research Finasteride-associated male infertility
Finasteride may cause male infertility, stopping it can help.
research Sebaceous gland loss and inflammation in scarring alopecia: A potential role in pathogenesis
Loss of sebaceous glands and inflammation may contribute to the development of scarring alopecia.
research Topical ALA-Photodynamic Therapy for Acne Can Induce Apoptosis of Sebocytes and Down-regulate Their TLR-2 and TLR-4 Expression
ALA-photodynamic therapy helps reduce acne by causing acne cell death and lowering certain skin protein levels.
research The human gut chemical landscape predicts microbe-mediated biotransformation of foods and drugs
The study developed a tool to predict how gut microbes process foods and drugs, showing that similar compounds often share metabolic pathways and effects.
research Alternative uses of dermoscopy in daily clinical practice: An update
Dermoscopy is useful for diagnosing various skin, hair, and nail disorders and can reduce the need for biopsies.
research Hair growth-promoting effect of Geranium sibiricum extract in human dermal papilla cells and C57BL/6 mice
Geranium sibiricum extract helps hair grow and is more effective than minoxidil but can be toxic in high concentrations.
research Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions
The skin's basement membrane has specialized structures and molecules for different tissue interactions, important for hair growth and attachment.
research Dermoscopic evaluation of therapeutic response to an intralesional corticosteroid in the treatment of alopecia areata
Intralesional triamcinolone acetonide is effective for treating patchy hair loss, and dermoscopy helps detect treatment response and side effects early.
research Treatment options for alopecia: an update, looking to the future
The document concludes that there are various treatments for different types of alopecia, but more research is needed for evidence-based treatments.
research Interventions for female pattern hair loss
Minoxidil effectively treats female pattern hair loss.
research ‘Follicular Swiss cheese’ pattern - another histopathologic clue to alopecia areata
Dilated follicular infundibula and increased catagen/telogen follicles are key indicators for diagnosing alopecia areata.
research Glutamate transporter Slc1a3 mediates inter‐niche stem cell activation during skin growth
The protein SLC1A3 is important for activating skin stem cells and is necessary for normal hair and skin growth in mice.
research Transcriptome and proteome characterization of surface ectoderm cells differentiated from human iPSCs
Blocking TGFβ-RI signaling enhances surface ectoderm differentiation from human stem cells.
research Androgenetic alopecia and risk of prostate cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Vertex pattern hair loss linked to higher prostate cancer risk.
research Effect of Dieckol, a Component of Ecklonia cava, on the Promotion of Hair Growth
Dieckol from Ecklonia cava may help hair growth and could be a potential hair loss treatment.
