research Post-discharge persistent symptoms and health-related quality of life after hospitalization for COVID-19
Many COVID-19 survivors experience long-term symptoms but still report satisfactory quality of life and return to work.
research Genetic Variation in the Human Androgen Receptor Gene Is the Major Determinant of Common Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia
Genetic variation in the androgen receptor gene mainly causes early-onset hair loss, with maternal inheritance playing a key role.
research Effects of minoxidil 2% vs. cyproterone acetate treatment on female androgenetic alopecia: a controlled, 12-month randomized trial
Minoxidil works better for female hair loss, but cyproterone reduces scalp oiliness and causes menstrual issues.
research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Finasteride increases anagen hair in men with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride helps increase hair growth in men with hair loss.
research Molecular evolution of the keratin associated protein gene family in mammals, role in the evolution of mammalian hair
KRTAP genes evolved early in mammals, leading to diverse hair traits.
research Possible mechanisms of miniaturization during androgenetic alopecia or pattern hair loss
Hair loss occurs due to fewer papillary cells, smaller follicles, and shorter growth phases.
research Stress exposure modulates peptidergic innervation and degranulates mast cells in murine skin
Stress increases nerve fibers and immune cell activity in mouse skin, possibly worsening skin conditions.
research Follicular miniaturization in female pattern hair loss: clinicopathological correlations
Hair loss severity relates to increased miniaturization in female pattern hair loss.
research Drugs in sport - the role of the physician
Physicians should promote natural performance improvement and question drug-enhanced achievements.
research Topical application of Polygonum multiflorum extract induces hair growth of resting hair follicles through upregulating Shh and β-catenin expression in C57BL/6 mice
Polygonum multiflorum extract helps grow hair by activating certain hair growth signals in mice.
research Progesterone promotes the survival of newborn neurons in the dentate gyrus of adult male mice
Progesterone helps adult male mice grow more neurons and improves memory.
research Annotation of sheep keratin intermediate filament genes and their patterns of expression
Sheep have 17 keratin genes, similar to humans, but with different expression patterns affecting wool and hair.
research The COVID-19 Sequelae: A Cross-Sectional Evaluation of Post-recovery Symptoms and the Need for Rehabilitation of COVID-19 Survivors
Many COVID-19 survivors continue to experience symptoms like fatigue and concentration problems after recovery, possibly needing rehabilitation.
research Perioral Wrinkles: Histologic Differences Between Men and Women
Women have more and deeper mouth wrinkles than men due to fewer skin appendages.
research Sept4/ ARTS Regulates Stem Cell Apoptosis and Skin Regeneration
Mice without the Sept4/ARTS gene heal wounds better due to more stem cells that don't die easily.
research Epidermal Stem Cells do not Communicate Through Gap Junctions
Epidermal stem cells don't use gap junctions to communicate.
research A new catalyst for organic synthesis: mercuric triflate
Mercuric triflate is an effective catalyst for various organic reactions, working well at room temperature with high yields.
research A mixed methods survey of social anxiety, anxiety, depression and wig use in alopecia
Many people with alopecia experience high levels of social anxiety, anxiety, and depression, and while wigs can boost confidence, they may also cause anxiety.
research Endocrine Influences on Hair Growth
Hormones and genetics affect hair growth and patterns, with some changes reversible and others not.
research The Use of Micrografts and Minigrafts in the Aesthetic Reconstruction of the Face and Scalp
Micrografts and minigrafts are safe and effective for hair transplantation in facial and scalp reconstruction, providing high patient satisfaction.
research Neuronal plasticity of the “brain–skin connection”: stress-triggered up-regulation of neuropeptides in dorsal root ganglia and skin via nerve growth factor-dependent pathways
Stress increases certain chemicals in the skin and nerves, which might worsen skin conditions.
research Treatment of Recurrent Priapism in Sickle Cell Anemia With Finasteride: A New Approach
Finasteride helps reduce priapism in sickle cell anemia patients.
research Clinical, ultrasound and hormonal markers of androgenicity in acne vulgaris
Acne severity is linked to higher levels of certain androgenic hormones, even when those levels are within the normal range.
research Calcitriol-Resistant Rickets With Alopecia
Calcitriol-resistant rickets is an inherited disorder that affects hair growth and causes hair loss.
research Evaluation of Female Fertility—AMH and Ovarian Reserve Testing
AMH helps estimate ovarian reserve but doesn't predict pregnancy chances; age is more important.
research Exogenous IGF-1 promotes hair growth by stimulating cell proliferation and down regulating TGF-β1 in C57BL/6 mice in vivo
IGF-1 injections help mice grow more hair by increasing cell growth and blocking a hair growth inhibitor.
