Cell processes depend on time-of-day and protein complex flexibility for skin health.
research The Metabolism and Control Mechanism of Human Hair Follicles
Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.

Synthetic hormone treatment reduces melanin and hair growth in rats.
research Melandrium firmumExtract Promotes Hair Growth by Modulating 5α-Reductase Activity and Gene Expression in C57BL/6J Mice
Melandrium firmum extract helps mice grow hair by blocking a hair loss enzyme and changing hair growth genes.
research Dermal Papilla Cells from Human Hair Follicles Express mRNA for Retinoic Acid Receptors in Culture
research 0041 Comparative multi-omics highlights inflammatory monocyte-derived dendritic cells as key mediators of UVB-induced photosensitivity
Monocyte-derived dendritic cells play a key role in UVB-induced skin sensitivity and inflammation.
research A Subset of TREM2+ Dermal Macrophages Secretes Oncostatin M to Maintain Hair Follicle Stem Cell Quiescence and Inhibit Hair Growth
Certain immune cells in the skin release a protein that stops hair growth by keeping hair stem cells inactive.
research Hair Graying Regulators Beyond Hair Follicle
Hair graying is influenced by factors like nerves, fat cells, and immune cells, not just hair follicles.
research Preferential Crosstalk between Perifollicular Capillary Vessels and Dermal Papilla Cells during Hair Cycling Homeostasis
Enhancing blood vessel interactions with hair cells may help treat hair loss and skin aging.
research Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) But Not Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (a-MSH) as a Mediator of Adrenalectomy Induced Hair Growth in Mink
ACTH promotes hair growth in mink, but α-MSH does not.
research Interaction between stem cell factor and endothelin-1: effects on melanogenesis in human skin xenografts
SCF and ET-1 together significantly increase skin pigmentation and melanin production.
research Dual role of laminin‑511 in regulating melanocyte migration and differentiation
Laminin-511 is essential for proper melanocyte movement and development in mice.
research Optogenetically Controlled TrkA Activity Improves the Regenerative Capacity of Hair‐Follicle‐Derived Stem Cells to Differentiate into Neurons and Glia
Blue-light activation of TrkA improves hair-follicle stem cells' ability to become neurons and glial cells.
research 1433 Epithelially derived, mitochondrial MPZL3 negatively regulates murine and human hair follicle cycling
A protein called MPZL3 in mitochondria slows down hair growth and could be a target for treating hair growth disorders.
research 496 Identification of differentially expressed miRNAs in alopecia areata that target immune-regulatory pathways
Researchers found that certain miRNAs, which affect immune system regulation, are differently expressed in mice with a hair loss condition compared to healthy mice.
research Single-cell transcriptomics reveals lineage trajectory of human scalp hair follicle and informs mechanisms of hair graying
The study found new details about human hair growth and suggests that preventing a specific biological pathway could potentially treat hair graying.
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 The effect of DNMTs and MBPs on hypomethylation in systemic lupus erythematosus
Certain proteins involved in DNA modification may affect the genetic changes in systemic lupus erythematosus and could indicate the disease's activity.
research Effects of short photoperiod on cashmere growth, hormone concentrations and hair follicle development-related gene expression in cashmere goats
Short photoperiods improve cashmere growth and quality in goats by changing hormone levels and gene expression.
research mTOR signaling promotes stem cell activation via counterbalancing BMP-mediated suppression during hair regeneration
mTOR signaling helps activate hair stem cells by balancing out the suppression caused by BMP during hair growth.
research Melampus and the cure of Proetus’ daughters
Melampus might have cured Proetus' daughters, who possibly had ergotism or Cushing's syndrome, using the herb Helleborus niger, but a mix of factors could have caused their symptoms.
research Allopregnanolone and Induction of Endogenous Opioid Inhibition of Oxytocin Responses to Immune Stress in Pregnant Rats
Allopregnanolone helps control oxytocin levels during pregnancy to prevent preterm labor.
research Network pharmacology analysis and experimental evaluations of YH complex on androgenetic alopecia by regulating the androgenic‐apoptotic axis
The YH complex, made from certain plant extracts, effectively promotes hair regrowth and could be a potential treatment for hair loss.
research Chi-miR-30b-5p inhibits dermal papilla cells proliferation by targeting CaMKIIδ gene in cashmere goat
A specific microRNA, chi-miR-30b-5p, slows down the growth of hair-related cells by affecting the CaMKIIδ gene in cashmere goats.
research Hypoxia-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Exosomes Downregulate CXCL12 and Upregulate IL-10 Expression in a Murine Model of Androgenic Alopecia
EH-MSCs may help treat hair loss by reducing inflammation.
research PBX1-SIRT1 Positive Feedback Loop Attenuates ROS-Mediated HF-MSC Senescence and Apoptosis
