research 1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 Modulates the Hair-Inductive Capacity of Dermal Papilla Cells: Therapeutic Potential for Hair Regeneration
Vitamin D3 can help improve hair growth by enhancing the function of specific skin cells and could be useful in hair regeneration treatments.
research Vitamin D activates type A natriuretic peptide receptor gene transcription in inner medullary collecting duct cells
Vitamin D boosts a specific gene activity in kidney cells that could improve heart and kidney function.
research mTOR signaling in hair follicle and hair diseases: recent progress
The mTOR signaling pathway is crucial for hair health and targeting it may lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Unveiling the Roots of Monogenic Genodermatoses: Genotrichoses as a Paradigm
New gene identification techniques have improved the understanding and classification of inherited hair disorders.
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 Cholesterol homeostasis: Links to hair follicle biology and hair disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research Molecular evolution of HR, a gene that regulates the postnatal cycle of the hair follicle
Changes in the HR gene have influenced hair growth and may lead to hair loss conditions in humans.
research Transcriptome analyses of reprogrammed feather / scale chimeric explants revealed co-expressed epithelial gene networks during organ specification
Key genes can rewire networks, changing skin appendage types.
research Inherited Disorders of the Hair
The document explains the genetic causes and characteristics of inherited hair disorders.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Genetics of Vitiligo: A Review
Vitiligo is influenced by genetics and environment, and combining these factors can improve early detection and prevention.
research Comparison of Vitamin 25(OH)D and Anti-Müllerian Hormone Status in Infertile Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and with Diminished Ovarian Reserve
Vitamin D levels do not significantly relate to the causes of PCOS or DOR in infertile patients.
research VIII International Conference "Interdisciplinary aspects of diseases of the skin and mucous membranes" 11-12th March 2022
Higher IL-31 levels are linked to worse itching in chronic kidney disease patients.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2018 update on objectives, design and main results
The Rotterdam Study updated findings on elderly health, focusing on heart disease, genetics, lifestyle effects, and disease understanding.
research Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Fetal Skin Reveals Key Genes Related to Hair Follicle Morphogenesis in Cashmere Goats
Key genes and pathways crucial for hair follicle development in cashmere goats were identified, aiding fleece production improvement.
research Clinical and biological impact of the exposome on the skin
Environmental factors, hormones, nutrition, and stress all significantly affect skin health and aging.
research Guidelines for the Use of Acitretin in Psoriasis
Acitretin is effective for severe psoriasis and can be used long-term due to no immunosuppression, but must be carefully monitored for side effects and is not for pregnant women.
research Molecular Genetics of Alopecias
Scientists have found specific genes linked to different hair loss conditions, which could lead to new treatments.
research Comparative Gene Expression Profiling of Senescent and Androgenetic Alopecia Using Microarray Analysis
SA linked to mitochondrial issues and oxidative stress, while AGA involves disrupted hair growth genes.
research A Newborn With Hair Loss
The baby’s hair loss was due to a rare genetic condition, not treatable by usual methods.

research An essential role for Rxrα in the development of Th2 responses
RXRα is crucial for proper immune response and links diet to immune function.
research The Hairless Phenotype of the Hirosaki Hairless Rat Is Due to the Deletion of an 80-kb Genomic DNA Containing Five Basic Keratin Genes
Hirosaki hairless rats lack hair due to missing DNA with key keratin genes.
research Genetic architecture of mouse skin inflammation and tumour susceptibility
Lgr5 and the vitamin D receptor are key in controlling skin inflammation and tumor risk in mice.
