research Identification and Characterisation of a Novel Pathogenic Mutation in the Human Lipodystrophy Gene AGPAT2
A new mutation in the AGPAT2 gene causes severe fat tissue loss and related health issues by reducing the protein's levels.
research Dermal papilla cells and melanocytes response to physiological oxygen levels depends on their interactions
Low oxygen levels improve the function of hair and skin cells when they are in direct contact.
research Differential impact of environmental factors on systemic and localized autoimmunity
Environmental factors like diet and vitamin levels, especially Vitamin D, can affect autoimmune diseases differently, with lifestyle changes potentially improving outcomes.
research Preparing the hair follicle canal for hair shaft emergence
A specific type of skin cell creates an opening for hair to grow out, and problems with this process can lead to skin conditions.
research The Role of Topical Vitamin D in Vitiligo: A Narrative Literature Review
Topical vitamin D is effective in treating vitiligo with few side effects.
research A comparative study of materials assembled from recombinant K31 and K81 and extracted human hair keratins
Recombinant keratin materials may better promote skin cell differentiation than natural keratin.
research Unexpected Autocrine Role of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Squamous Cell Carcinoma
VEGF helps squamous cell carcinoma grow in ways beyond just blood vessel formation.
research Biomedical engineering approaches for the delivery of JAGGED1 as a potential tissue regenerative therapy
JAGGED1 could help regenerate tissues for bone loss and heart damage if delivered correctly.
research TENSILE STRENGTH OF SCALP HAIR IN WOMEN WITH HAIR LOSS
Women with hair loss have weaker hair that breaks more easily.
research The role of hair follicles and Edar signalling in cutaneous wound healing
Activating the Eda/Edar pathway improves wound healing by enhancing hair follicle growth.
research Abnormal Wool Growth and Alopecia of Artificially Reared Lambs
Lambs fed a liquid diet showed abnormal wool and skin, which improved with more B-vitamins, suggesting a link to B-vitamin deficiency.
research The Influence of Valproic Acid and Carbamazepine Treatment on Serum Biotin and Zinc Levels and on Biotinidase Activity
Valproic acid and carbamazepine do not change biotin or biotinidase levels but may lower zinc levels, still within normal range.
research Highly Conserved Keratin-Associated Protein 7-1 Gene in Yak, Taurine and Zebu Cattle
The KRTAP7-1 gene is very similar across different cattle and yak breeds and likely plays a role in hair strength and shape.
research Antiparasitic efficacy of geraniol from Apiaceae family in scabies treatment
Geraniol effectively treats scabies and is safe for use.
research Host Genetic Susceptibility and Impacts of Dietary Factors on Covid-19
Certain genes and nutrients like vitamin D, zinc, and omega fatty acids affect COVID-19 severity and infection risk.
research Improved health-span and lifespan in mtDNA mutator mice treated with the mitochondrially targeted antioxidant SkQ1
SkQ1 antioxidant improved health and lifespan in mice.
research In Vitro Assembly and Structure of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Scientists successfully created mouse hair proteins in the lab, which are stable and similar to natural hair.
research Alkylation of human hair keratin for tunable hydrogel erosion and drug delivery in tissue engineering applications
Alkylation of human hair keratin allows for adjustable drug release rates in hydrogels for medical use.
research Hair structure anatomy and comparative anatomy1 1Dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. R. E. Rivett whose untimely death prevented his role in co-authorship.
Human hair is complex and grows in cycles starting from embryonic life.
research Ginseng in Hair Growth and Viability
Ginseng, especially its component ginsenosides, can promote hair growth, reduce hair loss, and potentially treat conditions like alopecia by affecting cell pathways and cytokines.
research A marine protein-based dietary supplement for subclinical hair thinning/loss: Results of a multisite, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial
The supplement helps improve hair growth and reduce hair shedding.
research Effects of dietary supplements on androgenetic alopecia: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
Certain dietary supplements can improve hair density and are well-tolerated for treating androgenetic alopecia.
research Cortical cell types and intermediate filament arrangements correlate with fiber curvature in Japanese human hair
Hair curvature in Japanese people is linked to specific cell types and filament arrangements in the hair cortex.
research Hair Lipid Structure: Effect of Surfactants
Surfactants in shampoos and conditioners remove some but not all lipids from hair, and more research is needed to understand their full impact.
research Epidermal expression of the truncated prelamin A causing Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome: effects on keratinocytes, hair and skin
Progerin affects cell shape but not hair or skin in mice.
research Studies of androgen metabolism and action in cultured hair and skin cells
Androgens don't directly affect hair cell growth or protein production.
research The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the testis and epididymis of rats with a dihydrotestosterone (DHT) deficiency
DHT deficiency increases iNOS expression in rat testis and epididymis.
research Evaluation of a Therapeutic Alternative for Telogen Effluvium: A Pilot Study
