research Several biological benefits of the low color temperature light-emitting diodes based normal indoor lighting source
Low color temperature light (1900 K) benefits health by promoting melatonin, protecting eyes, and aiding healing.
research Serotoninergic and melatoninergic systems are fully expressed in human skin
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Human long-term deregulated circadian rhythm alters regenerative properties of skin and hair precursor cells

research Oral zinc sulphate causes murine hair hypopigmentation and is a potent inhibitor of eumelanogenesisin vivo
Oral zinc sulphate reduces dark hair color in mice.
research How the stress of fight or flight turns hair white
Stress turns hair white by depleting color-giving cells in hair follicles through a specific neurotransmitter related to the body's stress response.
research Beta-caryophyllene enhances wound healing through multiple routes
Beta-caryophyllene helps improve wound healing in mice, especially in females.
research Re-Evaluating Cyclosporine A as a Hair Growth–Promoting Agent in Human Scalp Hair Follicles
Cyclosporine A promotes hair growth and prolongs the active growth phase in human hair follicles, but may work differently than in rodents.
research Skin manifestations of hyperandrogenism: an update
Targeting androgen receptors in the skin is the most effective treatment for hyperandrogenism-related skin issues.
research Biocompatibility of KAPs-Depleted Residual Hair
KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.
research Androgen excess: a hallmark of polycystic ovary syndrome
Excess androgens may cause PCOS, not just be a symptom.
research Signaling pathways and targeted therapeutic strategies for polycystic ovary syndrome
Effective PCOS treatments require targeting specific signaling pathways.
research Melanogenesis Is Coupled to Murine Anagen: Toward New Concepts for the Role of Melanocytes and the Regulation of Melanogenesis in Hair Growth.
Hair color production is closely linked to the active growth phase of hair in mice and may also influence hair growth itself.
research Cashmere growth control in Liaoning cashmere goat by ovarian carcinoma immunoreactive antigen-like protein 2 and decorin genes
OCIAD2 and DCN genes affect hair growth in goats by having opposite effects on a growth signaling pathway and inhibiting each other.
research ‘’Brown adipose tissue in the form of innovative approach for polycystic ovary syndrome treatment-still long time to reach clinical arena: a narrative review’’
More research is needed before using brown fat to treat polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Characterization of the serotoninergic system in the C57BL/6 mouse skin
