Vitamin D3 affects cell differentiation in specific skin areas.
research Scalp Dermoscopy or Trichoscopy
Trichoscopy is a quick, noninvasive method to diagnose hair and scalp disorders, often reducing the need for biopsies.
research Dermatoscopy of hair shaft disorders
Dermatoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing hair disorders and can help choose samples for more detailed analysis.
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 About photo-damage of human hair
We don't fully understand how sunlight damages different types of hair.
research Perspectives of Kennedy's disease
Kennedy's disease leads to muscle weakness and sensory issues, has no cure but manageable symptoms, and future treatments look promising.
research ‘Hirsutism’: A Psychological Analysis
Women with excess body hair feel psychological distress influenced by societal beauty standards, but distress isn't directly linked to the amount of hair.
research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 2111In fond memory of Dr Peter Steinert.
A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.
research A Review: The Location, Molecular Characterisation and Multipotency of Hair Follicle Epidermal Stem Cells
Hair follicle stem cells are mainly in the bulge region and can help repair skin and form hair and glands, but more research is needed to fully understand them.
research HAIR ANALYSIS FOR DRUGS OF ABUSE. PLAUSIBILITY OF INTERPRETATION
Hair analysis can detect drug use but requires careful interpretation due to its complexity.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research The Role of Smads in Skin Development
Smad-4 and Smad-7 are key in hair follicle development, with other Smads being less important.
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss
Female pattern hair loss is common, linked to polycystic ovarian syndrome, and treated with topical Minoxidil.
research Reorganization of hair follicles in human skin organ culture induced by cultured human follicle-derived cells
Injected human hair follicle cells can create new, small hair follicles in skin cultures.
research Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes
Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.
research Profiling the Response of Human Hair Follicles to Ultraviolet Radiation
UVB radiation harms hair growth and health, causing cell death and other changes in human hair follicles.
research Post-transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: An update
The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
research Coat condition, housing condition and measurement of faecal cortisol metabolites - a non-invasive study about alopecia in captive rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)
Alopecia in captive rhesus macaques is affected by season, sex, age, housing, and stress, with complex links between stress hormones and hair loss.
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 Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Cannabinoids: Current and Future Options to Treat Chronic and Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathic Pain
Cannabinoids may help treat chronic and chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research An Approach to the Patient with Hirsutism
The document concludes with guidance for doctors on diagnosing and treating hirsutism effectively and safely.
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.
