research Genetically-manipulated adult stem cells as therapeutic agents and gene delivery vehicle for wound repair and regeneration
Genetically-altered adult stem cells can help in wound healing and are becoming crucial in regenerative medicine and drug design.
research Epigenetic control of skin and hair regeneration after wounding
Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.
research MicroRNAs in the skin: role in development, homoeostasis and regeneration
MicroRNAs are important for skin health and could be targets for new skin disorder treatments.
research Stress-induced c-Jun-dependent Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) Activation Dissects the Non-classical VDR Pathway from the Classical VDR Activity
Stress activates a special function of the Vitamin D receptor with the help of c-Jun, which can also prevent cell death.
research Advances in scalp reconstruction
New techniques in scalp reconstruction have improved cosmetic results and reduced complications, especially for large defects.
research Multifunctional Merkel cells: Their roles in electromagnetic reception, finger-print formation, Reiki, epigenetic inheritance and hair form
Merkel cells may have roles in sensing magnetic fields, creating fingerprints, Reiki energy healing, passing on environmental information to offspring, and influencing hair shape.
research Bladder Cancer Survival of Men Receiving 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Men taking 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors before or after bladder cancer diagnosis had a lower risk of dying from the disease.
research Spironolactone and XPB: An Old Drug with a New Molecular Target
Spironolactone, a heart and liver drug, has new uses including cancer treatment, viral infection prevention, and skin condition improvement.
research Commentary: Unroofing for hidradenitis suppurativa, why and how
Unroofing is an effective, less invasive, and cost-effective surgery for hidradenitis suppurativa with low recurrence and improved patient quality of life.
research iRhom2 Mutation Leads to Aberrant Hair Follicle Differentiation in Mice
A mutation in the iRhom2 gene causes hairless mice due to abnormal hair follicle development.
research In vitro biomimetic platforms featuring a perfusion system and 3D spheroid culture promote the construction of tissue-engineered corneal endothelial layers
Using a perfusion system and 3D spheroid culture improves the growth of corneal cell layers for tissue engineering.
research HGF/SF Increases Number of Skin Melanocytes but Does Not Alter Quality or Quantity of Follicular Melanogenesis
HGF/SF increases skin melanocytes but doesn't change melanin type or amount.
research Increased Scalp Skin and Serum 5a-Reductase Reduced Androgens in a Man Relevant to the Acquired Progressive Kinky Hair Disorder and Developing Androgenetic Alopecia
Reduced androgens linked to kinky hair disorder and hair loss; 5a-reductase inhibitors may help.
research Regulatory Mechanisms of Natural Active Ingredients and Compounds on Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts in Mitigating Skin Photoaging
Natural ingredients may help reduce skin aging by protecting cells and boosting collagen.
research Acquired progressive kinking of the hair in a prepubertal boy
A 10-year-old boy had the earliest reported case of hair that became progressively kinkier but eventually returned to normal on its own.
research Scalp Reconstruction and Repair
Effective scalp reconstruction requires a wide range of surgical skills and an understanding of hair biology.
research The dermatologic manifestation of hyperandrogenism: A retrospective chart review
Most women with hyperandrogenism first show acne, and skin conditions like hirsutism and acanthosis nigricans are good indicators of the condition.
research Pigmentation Effect of Rice Bran Extract in Hair Follicle-Like Tissue and Organ Culture Models
Rice bran extract boosts melanin production in hair follicles.
research Aphalangia possibly linked to unintended use of finasteride during early pregnancy
Finasteride use during early pregnancy may cause limb deformities in babies.
research Hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita following cytotoxic chemotherapy
Some cancer treatments can cause abnormal fine hair growth.
research DETERMINATION OF PERMEATION PATHWAY OF GENTAMICIN INTO PIG’S EAR SKIN
Gentamicin penetrates pig skin better through open hair follicles than blocked ones.
research Hair in health and disease: an introduction
Hair health depends on various factors and hair loss can significantly affect a person's well-being; understanding hair biology is key for creating effective hair care treatments.
research Radon. Radium, and Uranium Levels in Some Samples of women Hair Treatment Materials

research Loose anagen hair syndrome in two patients with epidermolysis bullosa simplex, Dowling-Meara type
Two patients with the same genetic mutation had both blistering skin and easily pulled out hair.
research In Vitro Culture Methods of Skin Cells for Optimal Skin Reconstruction by Tissue Engineering
New methods for growing skin cells can improve skin grafts by building blood vessels within them.
research Harnessing Deep Learning for Scalp and Hair Disease Classification: A Comparative Study of Convolutional Neural Networks Architectures
VGG16 and VGG19 are the most accurate for classifying scalp and hair diseases.
research Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution
FAPD and possibly CCCA may be AGA subtypes, and treatments combining antiandrogens, hair growth agents, hair transplants, and anti-inflammatories could be effective.
