Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research Expression of keratins K6 and K16 in regenerating mouse epidermis is less restricted by cell replication than the expression of K1 and K10.
Keratins K6 and K16 are expressed more freely in regenerating mouse skin than K1 and K10.
research Penetration of different molecular weight hydrolysed keratins into hair fibres and their effects on the physical properties of textured hair
Different sizes of keratin peptides can strengthen hair, with smaller ones possibly increasing volume and larger ones repairing damage.
research Studies on nutritional deficiency in cows in El-Behera province
Nutritional deficiencies in cows lead to health issues like poor coat, low fertility, and reduced productivity.
research Abstracts
Mice treatments didn't grow hair, a patient treatment may affect immune response, and people with hair loss often feel anxious or depressed.
research Radiation-induced alopecia
A man experienced hair loss from radiotherapy, which can be temporary or permanent depending on radiation dose, with potential treatments available.
research Australian Hair and Wool Research Society Cutaneous Biology and Endocrinology Workshop
The workshop highlighted the genetic links and psychological impacts of hair loss and skin disorders.
research Eccrine sweat glands associate with the human hair follicle within a defined compartment of dermal white adipose tissue
Sweat glands and hair follicles are structurally connected within a specific layer of skin fat.
research Rac-dependent signaling from keratinocytes promotes differentiation of intradermal white adipocytes
Signals from skin cells controlled by Rac proteins help turn certain precursor cells into white fat cells.
research Phytochemical investigation of Vitex negundo and formulation of oil for hair growth and potential alopecia activity
Vitex negundo oil promotes hair growth and may treat alopecia safely.
research Keratins and lipids in ethnic hair
African hair's keratin structure is influenced by its higher lipid content.

research Obstetric Dermatology
The document concludes that managing skin conditions during pregnancy is important and requires specialized care.
research Hair cycle control by leptin as a new anagen inducer
Leptin, a hormone, is important for starting hair growth.
research The use of polyethylenimine–DNA to topically deliver hTERT to promote hair growth
Using polyethylenimine-DNA to deliver the hTERT gene can stimulate hair growth and may be useful in treating hair loss, but there could be potential cancer risks.
research Comparative analysis of 3D and 2D cell-culturing methods in hair follicle spheroid morphogenesis and drug responsiveness
3D cultures respond better to minoxidil, while 2D cultures respond better to DHT.
research First reboxetine trial results reported
Finasteride increased hair count and regrowth in men with hair loss but also caused more sexual side effects than placebo.
research Hormonal acne: leading to a paradigm shift in the management of acne
The article concludes that hormonal therapy is an effective long-term acne treatment, even for those without hormonal imbalances.
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 Study ofDemodexmites: Challenges and Solutions
The conclusion is that a new biopsy technique and humidity chamber help study skin mites better and suggest mite overpopulation may cause skin diseases.
