research Therapeutic Potential of Stem Cells in Follicle Regeneration
Stem cells, especially from fat tissue and Wharton's jelly, can potentially regenerate hair follicles and treat hair loss, but more research is needed to perfect the treatment.
research New effects of caffeine on corticotropin‐releasing hormone (CRH)‐induced stress along the intrafollicular classical hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis (CRH‐R1/2, IP3‐R, ACTH, MC‐R2) and the neurogenic non‐HPA axis (substance P, p75NTRand TrkA) inex vivohuman male androgenetic scalp hair follicles
Caffeine may help reduce stress-induced hair loss.
research What does the research say about androgen use and cerebrovascular events?
Androgen use may increase the risk of stroke, but more research is needed.
research Increased CRHR1 expression on monocytes from patients with AA enables a pro‐inflammatory response to corticotrophin‐releasing hormone
Higher CRHR1 levels in AA patients lead to increased inflammation.
research Absence of Heart Failure in Severe Cardiac and Autonomic Amyloidosis: The Essential Role of Sympathetic Activation and Venous Tone in the Development of the Congestive Heart Failure Syndrome
Sympathetic activation and venous tone are crucial for heart failure symptoms.
research Persistent Sexual and Psychological Symptoms After Finasteride Discontinuation: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study
Stopping finasteride can lead to lasting sexual and psychological issues.
research Oral Presentations
Understanding hair health and disorders is important for effective treatment.
research Boosting hair growth through follicular delivery of Melatonin through lecithin-enhanced Pickering emulsion stabilized by chitosan-dextran nanoparticles in testosterone induced androgenic alopecia rat model
Melatonin in a special emulsion can help treat hair loss more effectively.
research Endocrine controls of primary adult human stem cell biology: Thyroid hormones stimulate keratin 15 expression, apoptosis, and differentiation in human hair follicle epithelial stem cells in situ and in vitro
Thyroid hormones affect hair follicle stem cells by promoting differentiation and reducing growth.
research Einfluss von Melatonin auf die Physiologie des Haares
research Case Report: A Deletion Variant in the DCAF17 Gene Underlying Woodhouse-Sakati Syndrome in a Chinese Consanguineous Family
A genetic mutation in the DCAF17 gene caused Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in a Chinese patient from a related family.
research Dermatologic manifestations of thyroid disease: a literature review
Thyroid disease can cause skin, hair, and nail problems, and treating the thyroid condition often improves these symptoms.
research Hair follicle immune privilege and its collapse in alopecia areata
Hair follicles are normally protected from the immune system, but when this protection fails, it can cause hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Bioinformatics and Network Pharmacology Identify the Therapeutic Role and Potential Mechanism of Melatonin in AD and Rosacea
Melatonin could be an effective treatment for Alzheimer's Disease and rosacea.
research Human hair follicles display a functional equivalent of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis and synthesize cortisol
Human hair follicles can produce cortisol like the body's stress response system.
research The human skin as a hormone target and an endocrine gland
Human skin acts like a hormone-producing organ, making and managing various hormones important for skin and hair health.
research A Systematic Review of the Effects of Exercise on Hormones in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Exercise, especially vigorous aerobic and resistance training, can improve hormone levels in women with PCOS.
research Quantifying long-term stress in brown bears with the hair cortisol concentration: a biomarker that may be confounded by rapid changes in response to capture and handling
Hair cortisol levels in brown bears can be affected by both long-term and short-term stress.
research Neurosteroids in Adult Hippocampus of Male and Female Rodents: Biosynthesis and Actions of Sex Steroids
Sex steroids produced in the hippocampus are crucial for brain functions like memory and learning in rodents.
research Stress and the Hair Follicle
Stress can cause hair loss and skin issues by affecting hair growth cycles.
research In Search of New Therapeutics—Molecular Aspects of the PCOS Pathophysiology: Genetics, Hormones, Metabolism and Beyond
New treatments are needed for PCOS that target its genetic, hormonal, and metabolic causes.
research Hormone-dependent medial preoptic/lumbar spinal cord/autonomic coordination supporting male sexual behaviors
Testosterone and its byproducts help support male sexual behavior through different pathways in the brain and body.
research Effects of glucocorticoid on human dermal papilla cells in vitro
Dexamethasone may cause hair loss by stopping cell growth.
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 Novel anticonvulsive effects of progesterone in a mouse model of hippocampal electrical kindling
Progesterone can reduce seizures without relying on the GABAA receptor pathway.
research An Investigation of Hair Cortisol Concentration across Body Sites and within Hair shaft
Forearm hair has more cortisol than lower leg hair.
research Growth Hormone and the Human Hair Follicle
Growth hormone levels affect hair growth and loss, with too much causing excess hair and too little leading to hair loss.
research The effects of synthetic 19-norprogestins on osteoblastic cell function are mediated by their non-phenolic reduced metabolites
Synthetic 19-norprogestins promote bone cell growth and function through their non-phenolic metabolites.
research Role of Oxidative Stress in Obese and Nonobese PCOS Patients
Oxidative stress is higher in women with PCOS, especially if they're obese, and it may increase their risk of heart disease.
