research Phenotype of Normal Hairline Maturation
Children's hairlines change shape as they grow, with women often developing a widow's peak and men's hairlines becoming more convex and possibly balding at the temples, influenced by genetics and hormones.
research The histopathology of alopecia areata in vertical and horizontal sections
Horizontal scalp biopsy sections are better for diagnosing alopecia areata, showing fewer hair follicles and more miniaturized hairs.
research Uncovering the complex relationship between balding, testosterone and skin cancers in men
Men with baldness are more prone to skin cancers on the scalp due to sun exposure, not testosterone.
research Anagen hair follicle repair: Timely regenerative attempts from plastic extra‐bulge epithelial cells
Certain cells outside the hair follicle's bulge area can quickly regenerate damaged hair follicles, potentially helping to reduce hair loss from cancer treatments.
research The Contributory Roles of Th17 Lymphocyte and Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte at the Hair Bulge Region as Well as the Hair Bulb Area in the Chronic Alopecia Areata Patients
Certain immune cells contribute to severe hair loss in chronic alopecia areata, with Th17 cells possibly having a bigger impact than cytotoxic T cells.
research A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of inositol in trichotillomania
Inositol was not more effective than a placebo in treating trichotillomania.
research Neonatal finasteride administration alters hippocampal α4 and δ GABAAR subunits expression and behavioural responses to progesterone in adult rats
research Investigation of hair shaft in seborrheic dermatitis using atomic force microscopy
Hair from people with seborrheic dermatitis is thicker scaled, more damaged, and thinner than healthy hair, and atomic force microscopy can help monitor the condition.
research The new paradigm for androgenetic alopecia and plant-based folk remedies: 5α-reductase inhibition, reversal of secondary microinflammation and improving insulin resistance
Plant-based remedies may treat hair loss by reducing inflammation and improving insulin resistance.
research Candidate SNP markers of reproductive potential are predicted by a significant change in the affinity of TATA-binding protein for human gene promoters
Certain genetic markers linked to reproductive potential were identified by their impact on a protein's ability to bind to genes.
research Geometric classification of scalp hair for valid drug testing, 6 more reliable than 8 hair curl groups
A 6-group hair classification is more reliable for drug testing than an 8-group system.
research Localized cutaneous necrosis associated with the antiphospholipid syndrome
A woman with lupus experienced skin death due to a blood clotting disorder after stopping a blood thinner, which healed with treatment.
research Platelet-rich plasma as a therapy for androgenic alopecia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
PRP treatment increases hair density and thickness in androgenetic alopecia by 79%.
research The Phytocannabinoid (–)-Cannabidiol Operates as a Complex, Differential Modulator of Human Hair Growth: Anti-Inflammatory Submicromolar versus Hair Growth Inhibitory Micromolar Effects
CBD can either reduce inflammation and not affect hair growth at low levels or inhibit hair growth at high levels.
research Short- and long-term effects of two emollients on itching and skin restoration in xerotic eczema
Both emollients effectively reduced itching and improved skin moisture in xerotic eczema.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors alter steroid metabolism and may contribute to insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and vascular disease: a medical hypothesis
Some hair loss and prostate drugs might increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
research Self-Reported Outcome After Diode Laser Hair Removal
Most patients were satisfied with diode laser hair removal and experienced no long-term side effects.
research Contact dermatitis to phenol‐formaldehyde resin in two plywood factory workers
Two plywood factory workers developed contact dermatitis from phenol-formaldehyde resin, a known allergen.
research IMMUNOPATHOLOGY OF THE HUMAN HAIR FOLLICLE
The document concludes that immune system abnormalities cause alopecia areata, but the exact process is still not completely understood.
research Exploring the neural mechanisms of finasteride: a proteomic analysis in the nucleus accumbens
Finasteride affects brain processes related to neurotransmission and metabolism, potentially helping with neuropsychiatric conditions.
research Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Fortified Biscuits as a Nutritional Supplement for Zinc Deficient Rats
Zinc oxide nanoparticle biscuits improved growth and health in zinc-deficient rats without toxicity.
research Topical Formulations Containing Finasteride. Part II: Determination of Finasteride Penetration into Hair Follicles using the Differential Stripping Technique
Formulation P-08-016 better targets hair follicles for baldness treatment.
research Exogen involves gradual release of the hair club fibre in the vibrissa follicle model
Hair sheds gradually from the follicle, with readiness to shed indicated by less attachment material.
research A Pilot Study of a Grape Seed Procyanidin Extract for Lung Cancer Chemoprevention
Grape seed extract may safely and effectively help prevent lung cancer.
research Allopregnanolone is required for prepulse inhibition deficits induced by D1 dopamine receptor activation
Allopregnanolone is needed for certain brain processing issues caused by D1 dopamine receptor activation.
research Molecular basis of androgen action on human sexual desire
Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
research Hair coat characteristics in Friesian heifers in the Netherlands and Kenya : experimental data and a review of literature
Friesian heifers take about 18 months to adapt to Kenya's climate, with hair changes not strongly linked to weight gain.
research Oil Body-Bound Oleosin-rhFGF-10: A Novel Drug Delivery System that Improves Skin Penetration to Accelerate Wound Healing and Hair Growth in Mice
A new drug delivery system using oil body-bound oleosin-rhFGF-10 improves wound healing and hair growth in mice.
