research Folliculitis Keloidalis Nuchae and Pseudofolliculitis Barbae
These skin conditions in African men need combined medical treatments and lifestyle changes.
research Sulfatase inhibitors: a patent review
The document concludes that research on sulfatase inhibitors should continue due to their potential in treating various diseases, despite some clinical trial failures.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia among men: A clinicopathologic study of 7 cases
Men with Frontal fibrosing alopecia typically lose hair on the front scalp and sometimes on sideburns and upper lip, with treatments showing varied success.
research Conversion of the Nipple to Hair-Bearing Epithelia by Lowering Bone Morphogenetic Protein Pathway Activity at the Dermal-Epidermal Interface
Blocking a specific protein signal can make hair grow on mouse nipples.
research 5α-Reductase activity in the human hair follicle concentrates in the dermal papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Foot shock stress prolongs the telogen stage of the spontaneous hair cycle in a non‐depilated mouse model
Stress in mice delays hair growth and treatments blocking substance P can partly reverse this effect.
research Structure of human steroid 5α-reductase 2 with the anti-androgen drug finasteride
Finasteride irreversibly affects human steroid 5α-reductase 2, providing insight into its catalytic mechanism and disease-related mutations.
research In Vitro Main Pathways of Steroid Action in Cultured Hair Follicle Cells: Vascular Approach
Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.
research Diagnostic approach to low‐renin hypertension
Recent genetic insights show that low-renin hypertension includes a range from essential hypertension to secondary or familial forms, affecting diagnosis and treatment.
research Differential expression analysis of balding and nonbalding dermal papilla microRNAs in male pattern baldness with a microRNA amplification profiling method
Certain microRNAs are more common in balding areas and might be involved in male pattern baldness.
research Minoxidil specifically decreases the expression of lysine hydroxylase in cultured human skin fibroblasts
Minoxidil reduces lysine hydroxylase in skin cells.
research Injectable self-healing ceria-based nanocomposite hydrogel with ROS-scavenging activity for skin wound repair
The hydrogel speeds up skin wound healing and helps regenerate tissue.
research PBX homeobox 1 enhances hair follicle mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and reprogramming through activation of the AKT/glycogen synthase kinase signaling pathway and suppression of apoptosis
PBX1 helps hair stem cells grow and change by turning on certain cell signals and preventing cell death, which may be useful for hair regrowth treatments.
research Raman spectroscopy and electronic microscopy structural studies of Caucasian and Afro human hair
Hair treatments cause significant structural changes, especially with excessive heat, regardless of ethnicity.
research Minoxidil
Minoxidil effectively treats hair loss, works better for women, and requires consistent use.

KLF4 is important for maintaining skin stem cells and helps heal wounds.
research Developmental genetics of color pattern establishment in cats
Cat color patterns are determined early in development by gene expression and epidermal changes, with the Dickkopf 4 gene playing a crucial role.
research Effect of the degree of acetylation on the physicochemical properties of α-chitin nanofibers
Lower acetylation makes chitin nanofibers thinner and more suitable for various uses.
research Insights into the regeneration of skin from Acomys , the spiny mouse
The spiny mouse can regenerate its skin without scarring, which could help us learn how to heal human skin better.
research Dermabrasion
