K6hf is a unique protein found only in a specific layer of hair follicles.
research Hair growth promoting effects of adipose tissue-derived stem cells
Fat tissue stem cells may help increase hair growth.
research Development and progression of alopecia in the vitamin D receptor null mouse
Mice without the vitamin D receptor gene lose hair due to disrupted hair follicle cycles.
research Hair cycle control by leptin as a new anagen inducer
Leptin, a hormone, is important for starting hair growth.
research Field Cancerization: From Molecular Basis to Selective Field-Directed Management of Actinic Keratosis
Photodynamic therapy is the preferred treatment for skin precancer due to its effectiveness and safety.

research Biology of Human Hair: Know Your Hair to Control It
Understanding hair biology is key to developing better treatments for hair and scalp issues.
research Expression and functional relevance of melatonin receptors in hair follicle biology
Melatonin receptors in hair follicles help regulate hair growth and could treat hair loss.
research Eruptive vellus hair cysts: an original case occurring in twins
Twins had rare skin cysts likely due to genetics.
research Growth of the Mouse Coat VII. Hair Cycles and Sebaceous Glands in Homozygous and Heterozygous Naked Mice
The Naked gene in mice causes abnormal sebaceous glands and disrupts hair follicle organization.
research DNA Methylation as an Epigenetic Memory Keeper during Skin Development and Regeneration
DNA methylation is essential for skin and hair follicle development, and could be a target for treating skin diseases.
research Coexistence of Woolly Hair and Monilethrix: A Cases Study
Two sisters have rare hair disorders causing short, fragile, kinky hair.
research Sparse Hair on the Scalp
A 5-year-old girl has sparse, dry, and brittle hair but is otherwise healthy.
research 890 Development of pigmented reconstructed human epidermis model containing human melanoblasts from keratinocyte culture
The created skin model with melanoblasts improves the study of skin color and offers an alternative to animal testing.
research 892 Behavior of the two circulating androgens testosterone and DHEA and their main intracellular metabolites in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Testosterone affects androgen receptors and lipid storage in cells, while DHEA does not convert to testosterone or affect these receptors in the same way.
research 1338 Dermal Wnt/β-catenin activation tunably controls hair follicle initiation
Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.
research 1336 The de novo DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A is required for epidermal homeostasis
DNMT3A is crucial for healthy skin and hair growth.
research 1339 Mature adipocytes inhibit the antimicrobial function of dermal adipogenic stem cells: An explanation for impaired cutaneous defense in obesity
Obesity can weaken the skin's ability to fight infections because fat cells stop and reduce the infection-fighting properties of nearby stem cells.
research Hair Biology and Nutritional Influences
Eating a balanced diet with the right vitamins and minerals is important for healthy hair, but too many supplements can be harmful.
research Smad7-Induced β-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research Permanent waving and hair straightening
Thioglycolate lotions are the most popular method for permanent waving and hair straightening.
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 851 The role of astrotactin2 in regulating mammalian skin polarity
Astrotactin2 affects hair follicle orientation and skin cell polarity.
research Minoxidil Sulfotransferase, a Marker of Human Keratinocyte Differentiation
Minoxidil sulfotransferase is a marker of keratinocyte differentiation and may play a role in hair growth.
research Novel skin phenotypes revealed by a genome-wide mouse reverse genetic screen
The research identified new skin traits in mice, some linked to human skin conditions.
research Mechanical forces in skin disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research Hair graying and loss induced by imatinib mesylate
A woman's hair turned gray and fell out after starting a cancer drug called imatinib mesylate.
