research Organogenesis From Dissociated Cells: Generation of Mature Cycling Hair Follicles From Skin-Derived Cells
Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from skin cells of newborn mice, which can grow and cycle naturally when injected into adult mouse skin.
research Epidermal stem cell diversity and quiescence
Epidermal stem cells are diverse and vary in activity, playing key roles in skin maintenance and repair.
research Design, Synthesis, and Preclinical Evaluation of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Targeted 99mTc-Radioimaging Agents
Researchers developed promising agents for prostate cancer imaging, with the best one showing high potential for clinical use.
research Significant Correction of Disease after Postnatal Administration of Recombinant Ectodysplasin A in Canine X-Linked Ectodermal Dysplasia
Giving a special protein to dogs with a certain genetic disease improved their symptoms but didn't help with hair growth.
research Trans‐species hair growth induction by human hair follicle dermal papillae
Human hair follicle cells can grow hair when put into mouse skin if they stay in contact with mouse cells.
research Effects of caffeine and siloxanetriol alginate caffeine, as anticellulite agents, on fatty tissue: histological evaluation
Caffeine and siloxanetriol alginate caffeine in emulsion form can reduce fatty cell size and number, potentially treating cellulite effectively.
research Skin and hair: models for exploring organ regeneration
Skin and hair can help us understand organ regeneration, especially how certain stem cells might be used to form new organs.
research Hair physiology and its disorders
Different hair growth problems are caused by genetic issues or changes in hair growth cycles, and new treatments are being developed.
research Promotion of hair follicle development and trichogenesis by Wnt-10b in cultured embryonic skin and in reconstituted skin
Wnt-10b is important for starting hair growth and developing hair follicles.
research Synthesis and biological evaluation of amino-pyridines as androgen receptor antagonists for stimulating hair growth and reducing sebum production
A compound made by Pfizer can potentially stimulate hair growth and reduce oil production, making it a good candidate for topical use.
research Follicular Cell Implantation: An Emerging Cell Therapy for Hair Loss
Follicular Cell Implantation might become a new treatment for hair loss and could lead to advances in organ regeneration.
research SUMMARIES OF PAPERS
Herpes gestationis is linked to certain antigens, atopic eczema affects T cell populations and may be eased by breastfeeding, higher doses of anti-androgen treatment can improve androgenic alopecia, topical minoxidil increases hair thickness, long-term methotrexate therapy can cause liver fibrosis in psoriasis patients, and Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus patients aren't at higher risk for autoimmune disorders.
research Towards a molecular understanding of hair loss and its treatment
Future hair loss treatments should aim to extend hair growth, reactivate resting follicles, reverse shrinkage, and possibly create new follicles, with gene therapy showing promise.
research Skin wounds in the MRL/MPJ mouse heal with scar
MRL/MpJ mice's skin wounds heal with scars, unlike their ear wounds which can regenerate.
research Ephrin-A3 not only increases the density of hair follicles but also accelerates anagen development in neonatal mice
Ephrin-A3 helps increase and speed up hair growth in baby mice.
research Increased Rate of Hair Regrowth in Mice with Constitutive Overexpression of Del1
Mice genetically modified to produce more Del1 protein had faster hair regrowth.
research Literature Reviews
Multi-pass laser skin treatments improved healing, reduced pain, and had no major complications.
research Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin: Metamorphosis of an Old Drug into a New Form of Chemotherapy
Doxil is an effective, modified chemotherapy drug with a unique toxicity profile and shows promise in treating certain cancers.
research SKPs Derive from Hair Follicle Precursors and Exhibit Properties of Adult Dermal Stem Cells
SKPs are similar to adult skin stem cells and could help in skin repair and hair growth.
research Transfollicular drug delivery—Is it a reality?
Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.
research Estrogens and the skin
Estrogen loss during menopause worsens skin health, but hormone replacement therapy may improve it, though more research is needed.
research Laminin-511 is an epithelial message promoting dermal papilla development and function during early hair morphogenesis
Laminin-511 is crucial for early hair growth and maintaining important hair development signals.
research Wnt signaling in skin organogenesis
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin and hair development and its disruption can cause skin tumors.
