research CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Regulatory Tregs inhibit fibrocyte recruitment and fibrosis via suppression of FGF-9 production in the TGF-β1 exposed murine lung
Special immune cells called Tregs can help prevent lung scarring by blocking a specific growth factor.
research Stimulation of the Follicular Bulge LGR5+ and LGR6+ Stem Cells with the Gut-Derived Human Alpha Defensin 5 Results in Decreased Bacterial Presence, Enhanced Wound Healing, and Hair Growth from Tissues Devoid of Adnexal Structures
Human alpha defensin 5 helps heal wounds, reduce bacteria, and grow hair on burned skin.
research A cell-based system for screening hair growth-promoting agents
Apigenin may help promote hair growth and could treat hair loss.
research GLI2-specific Transcriptional Activation of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein/Activin Antagonist Follistatin in Human Epidermal Cells

research Effect of Adenovirus-Mediated Expression of Sonic Hedgehog Gene on Hair Regrowth in Mice With Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Using a gene therapy with the Sonic Hedgehog gene helps mice regrow hair faster after losing it from chemotherapy.
research Comprehensive molecular and cellular studies suggest avian scutate scales are secondarily derived from feathers, and more distant from reptilian scales
Bird scales evolved from feathers, not reptile scales.
research Xenobiotica-metabolizing enzymes in the skin of rat, mouse, pig, guinea pig, man, and in human skin models
Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.
research Bimatoprost for the treatment of eyelash, eyebrow and scalp alopecia
Bimatoprost is promising for treating some types of hair loss but needs more testing for androgenetic alopecia.
research Hormonal changes in menopause: do they contribute to a ‘midlife hair crisis’ in women?
Menopause-related hormonal changes affect hair but are not the only cause of hair changes in middle-aged women.
research Reversal of androgenetic alopecia by topical ketoconzole: Relevance of anti-androgenic activity
Ketoconazole lotion can improve hair regrowth for some people with androgenetic alopecia.
research ORIGINAL RESEARCH—ENDOCRINOLOGY: Comparison of the Steady‐State Pharmacokinetics, Metabolism, and Variability of a Transdermal Testosterone Patch Versus a Transdermal Testosterone Gel in Hypogonadal Men
The testosterone patch and gel are both effective, but they have different absorption patterns and effects on hormone levels.
research Live imaging of stem cells: answering old questions and raising new ones
Live imaging has advanced our understanding of stem cell behavior and raised new research questions.
research Age-related hair changes in men: Mechanisms and management of alopecia and graying
Men's hair loss is caused by hormones and genes, and can be treated with medication and surgery, while graying is due to aging and has no prevention except dyeing.
research Single-strand DNA breaks in human hair root cells exposed to mobile phone radiation
Mobile phone radiation can cause DNA damage in human hair root cells.
research WISP-1 induced by mechanical stress contributes to fibrosis and hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum through Hedgehog-Gli1 signaling
Targeting Hedgehog signaling may help treat ligamentum flavum fibrosis.
research Hair growth-promoting effect of Geranium sibiricum extract in human dermal papilla cells and C57BL/6 mice
Geranium sibiricum extract helps hair grow and is more effective than minoxidil but can be toxic in high concentrations.
research Endogenous human skin equivalent promotes in vitro morphogenesis of follicle-like structures
Endo-HSE helps grow hair-like structures from human skin cells in the lab.
research Bimatoprost versus Mometasone Furoate in the Treatment of Scalp Alopecia Areata: A Pilot Study
Bimatoprost was found to be safer and more effective than mometasone furoate for treating scalp hair loss.
research Skin: Basic Structure and Function
The skin is a complex barrier that protects the body, regulates temperature, and helps with immune responses.
research Recent advances on skin‐resident stem/progenitor cell functions in skin regeneration, aging and cancers and novel anti‐aging and cancer therapies

research The distributions of type IV collagen .ALPHA. chains in basement membranes of human epidermis and skin appendages
Type IV collagen chains vary in different parts of human skin, with specific patterns linked to melanocytes.
research Three cases of immune‐mediated adnexal skin disease treated with cyclosporin
Cyclosporin effectively and safely treated skin diseases in three pets with no side effects.
research The bright side of fibroblasts: molecular signature and regenerative cues in major organs
Fibroblasts, cells usually linked to tissue repair, also help regenerate various organs and their ability decreases with age. Turning adult fibroblasts back to a younger state could be a new treatment approach.
research Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions
The skin's basement membrane has specialized structures and molecules for different tissue interactions, important for hair growth and attachment.
