Research
660-690 / 1000+ resultsresearch Soluble and insoluble collagen and elastin in the rat hair cycle
research The up‐regulation of 14‐3‐3 proteins in Smad4 deficient epidermis and hair follicles at catagen
Increased 14-3-3 proteins may block hair cycle regression, causing hair loss.
research Expression of morphogens during human follicle development in vivo and a model for studying follicle morphogenesis in vitro
Hair follicle development involves complex interactions between skin layers and cells, but many details are still unknown.
research Pathogenesis of pili annulati
Pili annulati is caused by a protein metabolism disorder affecting hair structure.
research Two mouse mutations mapped to chromosome 11 with differing morphologies but similar progressive inflammatory alopecia
Two mouse mutations cause similar hair loss despite different skin changes.
research Content of Citrulline and Other Amino-Acids in a Protein of Hair Follicles
Citrulline was found in hair follicle proteins for the first time.
research Lichen planopilaris is characterized by immune privilege collapse of the hair follicle's epithelial stem cell niche
Lichen planopilaris may be an autoimmune disease causing hair loss due to immune system issues in hair follicles.
research Biphasic Effects of Minoxidil on the Proliferation and Differentiation of Normal Human Keratinocytes
Minoxidil affects cell growth in two ways: low doses increase growth, while high doses slow it down and can be toxic.
research Immune privilege and alopecia areata
Restoring immune privilege in hair follicles could help treat certain types of hair loss.
research Towards Defining the Pathogenesis of the Hairless Phenotype
The hairless gene mutation causes baldness by disrupting hair follicle structure.
research Msi2 Maintains Quiescent State of Hair Follicle Stem Cells by Directly Repressing the Hh Signaling Pathway
The Msi2 protein helps keep hair follicle stem cells inactive, controlling hair growth and regeneration.
research 558 The Bacterial Metabolite, Butyrate, Prolongs Anagen and Promotes Autophagy, Mitochondrial Activity, Melanogenesis and Antimicrobial Peptide Production in Human Scalp Hair Follicles
Butyrate helps hair grow longer, improves hair cell health, increases pigment production, and boosts hair's natural defenses.
research 859 Building a functional niche for hair follicle stem cells
Deleting the CRIF1 gene in mice disrupts skin and hair formation, certain proteins affect hair growth, a new compound may improve skin and hair health, blood cell-derived stem cells can create skin-like structures, and hair follicle stem cells come from embryonic cells needing specific signals for development.
research Sequence and Expression of Murine Type I Hair Keratins mHa2 and mHa3
mHa2 and mHa3 keratins have different structures and roles in mouse hair and tongue tissues.
research 773 Generation of human hair follicle organoids in vitro and ex vivo by co-culture of primary human hair matrix keratinocytes and dermal papilla fibroblasts
Scientists successfully grew mini hair follicles using human skin cells, which could help treat baldness.
research Hair follicle elongation in organ culture of skin from newborn and adult mice
Insulin or IGF-I is needed for hair growth in newborn mice, while minoxidil helps adult mouse hair grow, suggesting a way to study human hair loss.
research Mitotic processes in hair follicles and the morphostructure of sheep skin upon inclusion of a water-soluble fatty acid complex into their diets
Adding a water-soluble fatty acid complex to sheep diets improves wool growth by increasing primary hair follicle size and density.
research Morphogenesis- and Hair Cycle-dependent Expression of Trichohyalin, Peptidylarginine Deiminase Type III and Deiminated Trichohyalin in Rat Dorsal Skin Hair Follicles
THH and PAD type III appear together early in hair growth, but deiminated THH appears later, suggesting another factor is involved.
research Plica Neuropathica in 2 Hispanic Patients
Two Hispanic women developed Plica neuropathica, a condition causing tangled hair, possibly due to hair damage and various risk factors.
research An important role of podoplanin in hair follicle growth
Deleting podoplanin in mice promotes hair growth by enhancing cell migration.
research Hair growth inhibition by heparin in mice: a model system for studying the modulation of epithelial cell growth by glycosaminoglycans?
Heparin can inhibit hair growth in mice when injected.
research Inhibitory effect of 7DHC and BM15766 in HF organoid culture.
7DHC and BM15766 damage hair follicle structure and reduce key gene expression.
research Hair Cycle-Specific Immunolocalization of Retinoic Acid Synthesizing Enzymes Aldh1a2 and Aldh1a3 Indicate Complex Regulation
The enzymes Aldh1a2 and Aldh1a3 are involved in making retinoic acid in hair follicles and have different roles in hair growth.
research The epidermal growth factor receptor decreases S tathmin 1 and triggers catagen entry in the mouse
EGFR helps mouse hair follicles stop growing by reducing certain growth regulators.
