research Adipose-derived stem cell exosomes promote critical-sized bone defect repair by enhancing the homing of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
Exosomes from fat-derived stem cells help repair large bone defects by attracting and enhancing bone marrow stem cells.
research Basal cells in the epidermis and epidermal differentiation
The exact identity of skin stem cells and how skin cells differentiate is not fully known.
research Proteins observed in scalp hair from preschool children
Mothers have more hair proteins than their children, with age-related differences in protein patterns, and some proteins in hair could indicate early childhood development.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research (2015)
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research Dermal white adipose tissue development and metabolism: The role of transcription factor Foxn1
Foxn1 is important for fat development, metabolism, and wound healing in skin.
research Dermal white adipose tissue: Development and impact on hair follicles, skin defense, and fibrosis
Dermal white adipose tissue helps regulate hair growth, protect skin, and aid wound healing.
research Comparative clinical assessment of 5% minoxidil topical application with supplemental intradermal meso-solution administration for the management of androgenetic alopecia in men
Combining minoxidil with MS injections leads to better hair regrowth in men.
research A systematic summary of survival and death signalling during the life of hair follicle stem cells
The conclusion is that understanding how hair follicle stem cells live or die is important for maintaining healthy tissue and repairing injuries, and could help treat hair loss, but there are still challenges to overcome.
research Protective Effects of Melatonin on the Skin: Future Perspectives
Melatonin, usually known for sleep regulation, also has antioxidant properties that can protect skin, stimulate hair growth, and improve skin conditions, with topical application being more effective than oral use.
research Protective Role of Melatonin and Its Metabolites in Skin Aging
Melatonin, a hormone, can help protect skin from aging by reducing stress, inflammation, and damage, and may also help treat hair loss in women.
research Revisiting the role of melatonin in human melanocyte physiology: A skin context perspective
Melatonin affects skin and hair color and protects skin cells, with potential benefits for hair growth and skin health.
research Mesenchymal cell replacement corrects thymic hypoplasia in murine models of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome
Replacing defective mesenchymal cells with normal ones fixes thymic growth issues in 22q11.2DS mouse models.
research A network pharmacology-based approach to explore mechanism of action of medicinal herbs for alopecia treatment
Medicinal herbs might treat hair loss by affecting genes and pathways related to lipid and glycerophospholipid metabolism.
research Androgenetic Alopecia and Risks of Overall and Aggressive Prostate Cancer: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Men with male pattern baldness may have a slightly higher risk of prostate cancer.
research Melatonin’s Role in Hair Follicle Growth and Development: A Cashmere Goat Perspective
Melatonin promotes hair growth and quality by enhancing hair follicle development and reducing stress.
research The X Factor in Immunity: Sex Differences Shaped by the X Chromosome
Females generally have stronger immune responses than males due to the X chromosome.
research Genetically Altered Expression of Spermidine/Spermine N1-Acetyltransferase Affects Fat Metabolism in Mice via Acetyl-CoA
Altering SSAT affects fat metabolism and body fat in mice.
research Targeted expression of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase increases susceptibility to chemically induced skin carcinogenesis
Increasing SSAT makes skin more prone to cancer.
research Overexpression of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase under the control of mouse metallothionein I promoter in transgenic mice: evidence for a striking post-transcriptional regulation of transgene expression by a polyamine analogue
Overexpressing SSAT in mice makes them highly sensitive to polyamine analogues, causing liver damage and high mortality.
