research Neuronal plasticity of the “brain–skin connection”: stress-triggered up-regulation of neuropeptides in dorsal root ganglia and skin via nerve growth factor-dependent pathways
Stress increases certain chemicals in the skin and nerves, which might worsen skin conditions.
research Trans‐species hair growth induction by human hair follicle dermal papillae
Human hair follicle cells can grow hair when put into mouse skin if they stay in contact with mouse cells.
research Comparison of Healthy and Dandruff Scalp Microbiome Reveals the Role of Commensals in Scalp Health
Certain bacteria and fungi are linked to healthy scalps and dandruff, suggesting that the scalp's microbial balance affects its health.
research Noggin overexpression inhibits eyelid opening by altering epidermal apoptosis and differentiation
Noggin overexpression delays eyelid opening by affecting cell death and skin cell development.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor β2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research TREM2 macrophages induced by human lipids drive inflammation in acne lesions
TREM2 macrophages and unsaturated lipids contribute to acne inflammation.
research Genome-wide Scan and Fine-Mapping Linkage Study of Androgenetic Alopecia Reveals a Locus on Chromosome 3q26
Hair loss gene found on chromosome 3q26.
research Causes and Management of Hypertrichosis
research Fadrozole and finasteride exposures modulate sex steroid- and thyroid hormone-related gene expression in Silurana (Xenopus) tropicalis early larval development
Fadrozole and finasteride change gene expression related to sex hormones and thyroid hormones in frog larvae development.
research A position effect on TRPS1 is associated with Ambras syndrome in humans and the Koala phenotype in mice
A position effect on the TRPS1 gene causes excessive hair growth in humans and mice.
research Zinc as an ambivalent but potent modulator of murine hair growth in vivo- preliminary observations
Zinc can both inhibit and stimulate mouse hair growth, and might help recover hair after chemotherapy.
research Biotin Supplementation Ameliorates Murine Colitis by Preventing NF-κB Activation
Biotin may help treat inflammatory bowel disease by reducing inflammation and improving gut health.
research Compartmentalized Epidermal Activation of β-Catenin Differentially Affects Lineage Reprogramming and Underlies Tumor Heterogeneity
Activating β-catenin in different skin stem cells causes various types of hair growth and skin tumors.
research Hair Follicle Apoptosis and Bcl-2
research Bacteria induce skin regeneration via IL-1β signaling
Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
research Heterozygous FOXN1 Variants Cause Low TRECs and Severe T Cell Lymphopenia, Revealing a Crucial Role of FOXN1 in Supporting Early Thymopoiesis
FOXN1 gene variants cause low T cells and immune issues from birth.
research EGFR signaling is required for regenerative proliferation in the cochlea: Conservation in birds and mammals
EGFR signaling is essential for ear cell regeneration in both birds and mammals.
research Steroidal 5α-reductase and 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (CYP17) inhibitors useful in the treatment of prostatic diseases
Certain drugs that block specific enzymes can help treat prostate diseases.
research Epidermal and Hair Follicle Progenitor Cells Express Melanoma-Associated Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan Core Protein
MCSP may help identify and regulate skin stem cells, affecting hair growth and regeneration.
research BLIMP1 Is Required for Postnatal Epidermal Homeostasis but Does Not Define a Sebaceous Gland Progenitor under Steady-State Conditions
BLIMP1 is essential for skin maintenance but not for defining sebaceous gland progenitors.
research Androgens modify Wnt agonists/antagonists expression balance in dermal papilla cells preventing hair follicle stem cell differentiation in androgenetic alopecia
Androgens prevent hair growth by changing Wnt signals in cells.
research Distinct mechanisms for sebaceous gland self-renewal and regeneration provide durability in response to injury
Sebaceous glands can regenerate after injury using stem cells from hair follicles.
research High-throughput T cell receptor sequencing identifies clonally expanded CD8+ T cell populations in alopecia areata
CD8+ T cells are involved in alopecia areata and may cause disease relapse.
research Hunting the genes in male‐pattern alopecia: how important are they, how close are we and what will they tell us?
Genes play a significant role in male-pattern baldness, and understanding them could lead to new treatments and insights into related health issues.
research Hair Bundle Defects and Loss of Function in the Vestibular End Organs of Mice Lacking the Receptor-Like Inositol Lipid Phosphatase PTPRQ
Mutations in the PTPRQ gene cause significant balance issues in mice due to hair bundle defects in the inner ear.
research Overview of Caffeine Effects on Human Health and Emerging Delivery Strategies
Caffeine can boost health, prevent diseases, and improve performance, with new methods enhancing its benefits.
research Down-regulation of Melanocortin Receptor Signaling Mediated by the Amino Terminus of Agouti Protein in XenopusMelanophores
Agouti protein affects melanocortin receptors through competitive antagonism and receptor down-regulation.
