research Nonscarring hair loss disorders
Most types of hair loss can regrow naturally, but there are no effective cures for male pattern or age-related hair loss, and only limited options for females.
research Skin transcriptomic and selection signature analyses identify ASIP as a key gene in cattle coat color determination
The ASIP gene is crucial for determining cattle coat color.
research Perspectives and Challenges of Hair Analysis
Hair is a complex organ, and understanding its detailed structure and growth phases is crucial for analyzing substances within it.
research Role of hair as Evidence in Investigation: A Forensic Approach
Hair can help solve crimes by revealing personal and chemical information.
research Desmodesmus pannonicus Water Extract Inhibits Melanin Synthesis and Promotes Wound Healing
Desmodesmus pannonicus water extract may help reduce skin pigmentation, heal wounds, and promote hair growth.
research Regulatory Effects of Thai Rice By-Product Extracts from Oryza sativa L. cv. Bue Bang 3 CMU and Bue Bang 4 CMU on Melanin Production, Nitric Oxide Secretion, and Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibition
BB4CMU rice bran oil may help treat hair loss and gray hair.
research A comparative study of skin transcriptomes and histological observations for black and white hair colors of giant panda
The study found that giant pandas have more melanin in black hair follicles than white, with gene expression differences that could affect hair color and skin health.
research Hereditary, Congenital, and Acquired Alopecias
The conclusion is that different types of hair loss in dogs and cats can be cosmetic or serious, and affected animals should not be bred.
research Integrative skin phenotypic and transcriptomic analyses reveal candidate genes for coat color and fiber length in four Chinese goat breeds (Capra hircus)
Genes linked to coat color and fiber length in Chinese goats were identified.
research Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analysis reveals molecular mechanisms of melatonin-regulated hair follicle growth in cashmere goats and comparative insights across goat breeds
Melatonin helps control hair growth in cashmere goats, which could improve cashmere production.
research Comparison between melatonin versus melatonin and photobiomodulation versus photobiomodulation in the treatment of Alopecia X in German Spitz dogs: Clinical, randomized, double-blind, parallel, non-inferiority protocol
Melatonin and photobiomodulation are effective for treating Alopecia X in German Spitz dogs.
research Melatonin promotes hair regeneration by modulating the Wnt/β‐catenin signalling pathway
Melatonin helps hair grow by activating a specific signaling pathway.
research Role of Dermal Factors Involved in Regulating the Melanin and Melanogenesis of Mammalian Melanocytes in Normal and Abnormal Skin
Dermal factors are crucial in regulating melanin production in skin.
research A Critical Evaluation on Akala Palitam
Premature graying of hair is linked to an imbalance of body energies in Ayurveda and treatment varies based on the specific imbalance.
research Non‐endocrine alopecia
The document concludes that non-endocrine alopecia in pets varies in treatment effectiveness and often has a poor prognosis, especially in cats.
research 1366 Interest of Panax Ginseng and Albizia Julibrissin extracts to prevent age-related hair density reduction
Ginseng and Albizia extracts may help prevent age-related hair thinning.
research A clinician's approach to canine alopecia
The guide explains how to diagnose and treat hair loss in dogs, covering causes and treatments, with some conditions lacking treatment options.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Untersuchungen der Fremdstoffbindung in permanenten Keratinozyten- und Melanozyten-Zelllinien sowie die Eignung von Primärkulturen aus humanen Haarfollikeln zur In-vitro-Messung der Fremdstoffaufnahme im Haar
Unpigmented keratinocytes absorb substances faster, while melanocytes bind more strongly to melanin.
research Theoretical considerations in laser hair removal
Laser hair removal effectiveness depends on targeting hair structures without harming the skin, and improvements require more research and expert collaboration.
research Hair Growth Cycle Affects Hair Follicle Destruction by Ruby Laser Pulses
Ruby laser pulses best destroy hair follicles during the growth phase and effectiveness varies with laser intensity; melanin is key for targeting, and timing treatments can improve results.
research Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes
Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.
research An Update on Drug-Induced Pigmentation
Some drugs can cause skin and hair color changes, often reversible when the drug is stopped.
research Sex Identification of Feather Color in Geese and the Expression of Melanin in Embryonic Dorsal Skin Feather Follicles
Female goslings have darker feathers than males due to more melanin.
research Dopa oxidase activity in the hair, skin and ocular melanocytes is increased in the presence of stressed fibroblasts
Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.
research Melanin Light Absorption as the Necessary but Not Sufficient Condition for Photoepilation: Miniaturization and Eclipse Phenomena
Melanin absorbing light is necessary but not enough for effective hair removal by light treatment.
research Raman investigation of in vivo radiation exposure on melanin in murine hair
Raman spectroscopy can detect radiation exposure in mouse hair with high accuracy for up to 7 days.
