research A neuroendocrinological perspective on human hair follicle pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research Neuroimmunoregulation of Androgens in the Adrenal Gland and the Skin
Cytokines and neuropeptides are key in controlling androgen levels, affecting skin and hair conditions.
research (Neuro-)endocrinology of epithelial hair follicle stem cells
Hormones and neuroendocrine factors control hair growth and color, and more research could lead to new hair treatment options.
research Stress and Psychoneuroimmunologic Factors in Dermatology
Stress and emotional factors can worsen skin conditions by affecting the immune system.
research Exploring the “brain-skin connection”: Leads and lessons from the hair follicle
Hair follicles on the scalp interact with and respond to the nervous system, influencing their own behavior and growth.
research New approach to the understanding of keloid: psychoneuroimmune–endocrine aspects
Keloids may be influenced by stress and psychological factors.
research The Anagen Hair Cycle Induces Systemic Immunosuppression of Contact Hypersensitivity in Mice
Hair growth phase in mice weakens certain immune responses.
research Telogen Effluvium: Is There a Need for a New Classification
The paper suggests improving diagnosis and treatment of telogen effluvium but does not recommend a new classification system.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and Increased Scalp Sweating: Is Neurogenic Inflammation the Common Link
Increased scalp sweating in frontal fibrosing alopecia may be linked to local skin inflammation.
research Recent advances in the role of neuroregulation in skin wound healing
Neuroregulation is crucial for skin wound healing and can be targeted to improve recovery.
research Saliva secretion in engrafted mouse bioengineered salivary glands using taste stimulation
Bioengineered salivary glands in mice can produce saliva when tasting sour or bitter, but have different protein levels and nerve signals compared to natural glands.
research [Peptidergic innervation in the sinus hair follicles of several mammalian species].
Sinus hair follicles in mammals have different nerve fiber types with species-specific patterns, especially in cats.
research Hair(y) Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
research Stress, Hair Growth Control, and the Neuro-Endocrine-Immune Connection
Stress may affect hair growth by influencing hair follicle development and could contribute to hair loss.
research The role of sleep in telogen effluvium and trichodynia: A commentary in the context of the current pandemic
Poor sleep during the pandemic may increase stress and worsen hair loss conditions.
research Dermal TRPV1 innervations engage a macrophage- and fibroblast-containing pathway to activate hair growth in mice
Activating TRPV1 can boost hair growth by involving neurons, macrophages, and fibroblasts.
research Trichodynia Revisited
Trichodynia is a painful scalp condition not directly linked to the amount or type of hair loss and may involve psychological factors, with treatments showing mixed results.
research Anorexia nervosa and reproduction: connecting brain to gonads
Anorexia nervosa can harm fertility and increase pregnancy risks.
research Effects of SM-215 on Hair Growth by Hair Follicle Stimulation
SM-215 promotes hair growth by improving the environment around hair follicles.
research Regulation of the human hair cycle
The conclusion is that effectively treating hair disorders is difficult due to the complex factors affecting hair growth and more research is needed to improve treatments.
research Single cell deciphering of pruritic keloids: the interaction between fibroblasts and Schwann cells through the Midkine signaling
Targeting Midkine can help reduce pain and itching in keloids.
research Neurological Mechanisms Exploration and Therapeutic Targets in Segmental Vitiligo Accompanied by White Hair
Managing stress and nerve activity can help treat segmental vitiligo and white hair.
research Comment on scalp neuropathy in androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss in men (androgenetic alopecia) is significantly linked to decreased scalp sensitivity, but not temperature sensitivity. More research is needed to confirm this. Comparing this hair loss to leprosy is unsupported and stigmatizing.
research Neuroendocrine Pathways in Skin Health and Homeostasis: A Systematic Review
The skin communicates with the nervous system, and targeting neurohormones like melatonin and oxytocin could help treat skin issues.
research Evaluation of the Role of Galanin Hormone and Biochemical Markers in Individuals with Hair Loss
Higher levels of certain hormones and lower levels of minerals may contribute to hair loss.
research Gene polymorphisms and serum levels of BDNF and CRH in vitiligo patients
Certain gene variations and different levels of BDNF and CRH hormones are linked to vitiligo.
research LB1017 A novel link between human hair follicle neuroimmunology and mitochondrial biology: Substance P increases intrafollicular oxidative stress and mitochondrial biogenesis
Substance P may contribute to hair loss by increasing oxidative stress and mitochondrial activity in hair follicles.
research Biology of Hair Growth and Influence of External Factors (Ecology, Stress, Nutrition
External factors like pollution, stress, and poor nutrition can negatively affect hair growth.
research Topical gabapentin and its relation to cutaneous innervation in symptomatic lymphocytic primary cicatricial alopecia
Using a special skin cream with gabapentin helped reduce symptoms of a certain scalp condition but didn't change nerve fibers or skin chemicals.
