research Microarray analysis of androgenetic and senescent alopecia: Comparison of gene expression shows two distinct profiles
The conclusion is that androgenetic alopecia and senescent alopecia have unique gene changes, suggesting different causes and potential treatments for these hair loss types.
research Heterotypic cell contacts and basal lamina morphology during hair follicle development in the mouse: a light, scanning, and electron microscopic study at the site of tissue interaction
Heterotypic cell contacts likely help hair matrix cells differentiate during mouse hair follicle development.
research Col4a2-eGFPmouse model reveals the molecular and functional dynamics of basement membrane remodelling in hair follicle morphogenesis
Scientists made a mouse that shows how a specific protein in the skin changes and affects hair growth and shape.
research 321 Deletion of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl 4-hydroxylase 2 in FoxD1-lineage mesenchymal cells leads to congenital truncal alopecia
Removing HIF-P4H-2 from certain skin cells in mice causes hair loss on the body but not the head.
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 A Chemically Defined Culture for Tooth Reconstitution
A new culture system can grow tooth-like structures from dental cells but can't yet develop roots.
research Androgenetic alopecia updates: Pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment
New treatments are being explored to slow or reverse hereditary hair loss.
research Kyoto Rhino Rats Derived by ENU Mutagenesis Undergo Congenital Hair Loss and Exhibit Focal Glomerulosclerosis
A new rat strain with a specific gene mutation causes hair loss and kidney issues.
research Early onset androgenic alopecia: not a cosmetic problem but a sign of life time risk factors. Male phenotypic equivalent of polycystic ovarian syndrome: Is There a Male Phenotype of PCOS
Early hair loss in men may signal broader health issues similar to PCOS in women.
research 840 Early and late matrix progenitors form the terminally differentiated cell layers of the hair follicle
Early and late matrix progenitors in hair follicles create different cell layers, with early ones forming the companion layer and later ones forming the inner root sheath and hair shaft.
research Epimorphin acts to induce hair follicle anagen in C57BL/6 mice
Epimorphin helps start hair growth in mice.
research Regulatory mutations in TBX3 disrupt asymmetric hair pigmentation that underlies Dun camouflage color in horses
Mutations in TBX3 cause horses to have more even hair color instead of Dun camouflage.
research Hair Cycle Control by Estrogens: Catagen Induction via Estrogen Receptor (ER)-α Is Checked by ERβ Signaling
Estrogen receptors affect hair growth, with ER beta slowing down the hair cycle changes caused by ER alpha.
research In This Issue
Genetically repaired stem cells may treat certain genetic diseases, Th17 cells are key in fighting systemic fungal infections, hair loss in AGA is due to progenitor cell loss, and α-synuclein transfer might contribute to Parkinson's disease progression.
research Embryonic development of hair follicle pluripotent stem (hfPS) cells
research 1431 Skin aging and hair follicle stem cell dysfunction caused by T cells with defective mitochondrial metabolism
Defective T cell metabolism can cause early skin aging and poor hair follicle stem cell function.
research A technique for more precise distinction between catagen and telogen human hair follicles ex vivo
Researchers developed a new method using methylene blue staining to more accurately identify the growth stage of human hair follicles.
research The Plastic and Functional Changes in Hippocampal Neurons During Pregnancy, Delivery and Postpartum are Reversed by Offspring Deprivation
Pregnancy and nursing increase certain brain activities in rats, but these changes disappear when the babies are taken away.
research 078 The transmembrane protein LRIG1 regulates receptor tyrosine kinases in skin development and homeostasis
LRIG1 protein affects hair growth by regulating skin receptors, leading to hair loss when overexpressed.
research Drugs Affecting Hair Growth
Different hair growth phases affect how follicles respond to X-rays, and hormones like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a key role in baldness; transplanted hair can grow on bald scalp areas.
research Inducing hair follicle neogenesis by defined extracellular factors
Certain factors can start hair growth in adult skin by making cells communicate and form new hair follicles.
research Mast cell hyperplasia in the skin of Dsg4-deficient hypotrichosis mice, which are long-living mutants of lupus-prone mice
A gene mutation in mice causes increased mast cells and disorganized hair follicles in their skin.
research The urine as a diagnostic key for a homozygous EGFR mutation
A rare EGFR mutation in newborns leads to severe health issues and early death.
research Male pattern hair loss: Taking one for the team: The selfless gene
Male pattern hair loss may have evolved to promote younger fathers for offspring health and survival, encouraging monogamy and paternal nurturing.
research The mineralocorticoid receptor plays a transient role in mouse skin development
The mineralocorticoid receptor temporarily affects mouse skin development, but the glucocorticoid receptor has a more lasting impact.
research The Tabby (Ta), Tabby-c (Tac), and Tabby-J (TaJ) Mutations, Chromosome X
Tabby mutations in mice affect hair follicle development and help study genetic mapping and certain medical conditions.
research Hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy: a case report with molecular study
A new genetic mutation was found causing hair and eye issues in a boy.
research Transcriptional Governance of Hair Follicle Stem Cell Quiescence and Niche Maintenance in Long-Term Tissue Regeneration
