research Aging of hair
Hair ages due to genetics and environmental factors, leading to graying and thinning, with treatments available for some conditions.
research Hair aging and anti-aging
Hair ages due to various factors and treatments like minoxidil and finasteride can help, but more research and better public awareness are needed.
research The Hair Follicle as a Dynamic Miniorgan
Hair follicles are complex, dynamic mini-organs that help us understand cell growth, death, migration, and differentiation, as well as tissue regeneration and tumor biology.
research Skin melanocytes: biology and development
The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Conditional Disruption of Hedgehog Signaling Pathway Defines its Critical Role in Hair Development and Regeneration
The hedgehog signaling pathway is crucial for hair growth but not for the initial creation of hair follicles.
research Androgens and human hair growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research Cells within the bulge region of mouse hair follicle transiently proliferate during early anagen: heterogeneity and functional differences of various hair cycles
Mouse hair follicle cells briefly grow during the early hair growth phase, showing that these cells are important for starting the hair cycle.
research Biology of the wool follicle: an excursion into a unique tissue interaction system waiting to be re‐discovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
research Overexpression of Smad7 results in severe pathological alterations in multiple epithelial tissues
Too much Smad7 can cause serious changes in skin tissues, including problems with hair growth, thymus shrinkage, and eye development issues.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration Using Grafted Rodent and Human Cells
Grafted rodent and human cells can regenerate hair follicles, but efficiency decreases with age.
research Building Epithelial Tissues from Skin Stem Cells
Skin stem cells help maintain skin health, grow hair, and heal wounds.
research Epidermal stem cells and skin tissue engineering in hair follicle regeneration
Hair follicle regeneration needs special conditions and young cells.
research Aging of the hair follicle pigmentation system
Hair grays due to oxidative stress and fewer functioning melanocytes.
research Aberrant Activation of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway in Malignant Hematological Neoplasms
Abnormal Hedgehog signaling in blood cancers may help tumors grow and resist chemotherapy, suggesting potential for targeted treatments.
research From neural crest cells to melanocytes: cellular plasticity during development and beyond
Melanocyte development from neural crest cells is complex and influenced by many factors, and better understanding could help treat skin disorders.
research Male pattern hair loss: current understanding
Genetics and hormones cause hair loss; finasteride treats it safely.
research Normal Hair Growth in Children
Children's hair grows in different types from before birth through puberty, with growth rates and characteristics varying by age, sex, and race.
research Modulating hair follicle size with W nt10b/DKK 1 during hair regeneration
Wnt10b makes hair follicles bigger, but DKK1 can reverse this effect.
research EEMCO Guidance for the Assessment of Hair Shedding and Alopecia
The document explains hair growth and shedding, factors affecting it, and methods to evaluate hair loss, emphasizing the importance of skin biopsy for diagnosis.
research Expression and roles of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in ‘non-classical’, extra-adrenal and extra-gonadal cells and tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research Changing the shape of hair with keratin peptides
Keratin peptides can change hair shape gently without harsh chemicals.
research Premature graying of hair
Premature graying of hair may suggest health issues and currently lacks effective treatments.
research The Androgen Receptor Antagonizes Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Epidermal Stem Cells
