research Multi-ancestry tandem repeat association study of hair colour using exome-wide sequencing
Tandem repeats significantly influence hair color, especially darker shades, across different ancestries.
research Retinoids
Retinoids are effective for skin conditions like severe acne and psoriasis but must be used with caution due to potential side effects and risks during pregnancy.
research 15. Hair and Nails
Hair and nail conditions can stabilize or improve over time, and new treatments show promise.
research Attention to Innate Circadian Rhythm and the Impact of Its Disruption on Diabetes
Disrupting natural body clocks increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
research Neuroimmunology of Stress: Skin Takes Center Stage
Stress can worsen skin and hair conditions by affecting the skin's immune response and hormone levels.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research The human hair: from anatomy to physiology
The document concludes that hair is complex, with a detailed growth cycle, structure, and clinical importance, affecting various scientific and medical fields.
research Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH): a new player in human hair‐growth control
TRH stimulates human hair growth and extends the hair growth phase.
research Human hair follicles are an extrarenal source and a nonhematopoietic target of erythropoietin
Human hair follicles produce and respond to erythropoietin, helping protect against stress.
research Stress-related skin disorders
Stress can worsen skin conditions by affecting hormone levels and immune response.
research Prolactin: an emerging force along the cutaneous–endocrine axis
Prolactin may play a significant role in skin and hair health and could be a target for treating skin and hair disorders.
research Hair: What is New in Diagnosis and Management?
Female pattern hair loss diagnosed by scalp appearance, treated with combined therapies and targeted approaches.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome: two case reports and a brief review of the literature
The document concludes that Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome requires novel treatments for insulin resistance and emphasizes the importance of dental care in affected patients.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss
Over 50% of women over 50 experience hair loss, with minoxidil being the only proven effective treatment.
research Hair follicles and their role in skin health
Hair follicles are essential for skin health, aiding in hair growth, wound healing, and immune function.
research The Effect of Parathyroid Hormones on Hair Follicle Physiology: Implications for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Parathyroid hormones are important for hair growth, but their use in treating hair loss from chemotherapy is still uncertain.
research Hirsutism in the Adolescent Female
The conclusion is that young women with excessive hair growth should be quickly tested for hormonal issues and treated to improve their social well-being.
research Novel iron oxide nanocarriers loading finasteride or dutasteride: Enhanced skin penetration for topical treatment of alopecia
Iron oxide nanoparticles improve skin penetration and drug release for hair loss treatment.
research The melanocyte photosensory system in the human skin
Human skin's melanocytes respond to light by changing shape, producing pigments and hormones, which may affect sleep patterns.
research The peptide AC 2 isolated from Bacillus-treated Trapa japonica fruit extract rescues DHT (dihydrotestosterone)-treated human dermal papilla cells and mediates mTORC1 signaling for autophagy and apoptosis suppression
The AC 2 peptide from Trapa japonica fruit helps protect hair cells and may treat hair loss.
research Therapeutic effect of exosomes derived from hepatocyte-growth-factor-overexpressing adipose mesenchymal stem cells on liver injury
Exosomes from modified stem cells may help treat liver injury.
research The ‘bald’ phenotype (androgenetic alopecia) is caused by the high glycaemic, high cholesterol and low mineral ‘western diet’
Western diet may cause male pattern baldness; low glycemic diet with magnesium could help.
research Polymorphism in the A2M gene associated with high-quality milk in Murrah buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)
Certain genetic variations in the A2M gene are linked to better milk quality in Murrah buffaloes.
research Complementary Therapies for Idiopathic Hirsutism: Topical Licorice as Promising Option
Adding licorice gel to laser treatment is more effective for reducing facial hair than laser alone.
research Minoxidil and male-pattern alopecia: a potential role for a local regulator of sebum secretion with vasoconstrictive effects?
Minoxidil, a common hair loss treatment, might work by counteracting a hormone that reduces hair growth and promotes hair loss.
research Potential efficiency of antioxidants to prevent pressure ulcers. A neglected hypothesis
Antioxidants might help prevent pressure ulcers, but more research is needed to find effective ones.
