research Calcineurin/Nfatc1 signaling links skin stem cell quiescence to hormonal signaling during pregnancy and lactation
Hormones during pregnancy and lactation keep skin stem cells inactive, preventing hair growth.
research Early androgen activity after birth determines the hypothalamic expression of androgen and estrogen receptors in adulthood in female but not in male rats
Early androgen exposure affects hormone receptor expression in adult female rats' brains, but not in males.
research Proteomics analysis of the secondary hair follicle cycle in Liaoning cashmere goat
The study found specific proteins that could mark different growth stages of cashmere goat hair and may help improve cashmere production.
research L’importanza della nutrizione nella salute del capello = The importance of nutrition in hair healthcare
A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats is crucial for maintaining healthy hair and preventing hair loss.
research Discovery of a transdermally deliverable pentapeptide for activating AdipoR1 to promote hair growth
A new small peptide may help hair growth by activating a specific receptor and should be tested in humans.
research Hair Follicle Pigmentation
Hair color is determined by melanin produced and transferred in hair follicles.
research The Molecular Biology of the Vitamin D Receptor
The vitamin D receptor can affect gene activity even without its usual hormone in hair and skin.
research Pharmacological Options for Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.
research Hair cycle control by leptin as a new anagen inducer
Leptin, a hormone, is important for starting hair growth.
research Hedonic sensitivity to natural rewards is affected by prenatal stress in a sex-dependent manner
Prenatal stress changes how male and female rats enjoy rewards differently, linked to sex hormones.
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 Idiopathic Hirsutism*
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Pathways to inflammation: acne pathophysiology
Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen- Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH): a new player in human hair‐growth control
TRH stimulates human hair growth and extends the hair growth phase.
research Plant elicitor Peptides regulate root hair development in Arabidopsis
Peps help Arabidopsis plants grow more root hairs by affecting specific genes and calcium signaling.
research Eph Receptors and Ephrins: Therapeutic Opportunities
Eph receptors and ephrins may be promising targets for treating diseases, but more understanding is needed for effective and safe therapies.
research Locally Synthetized 17-β-Estradiol Reverses Amyloid-β-42-Induced Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation Deficits
A brain-made hormone can protect against memory-related brain damage caused by harmful proteins.
research Growth Hormone and the Human Hair Follicle
Growth hormone levels affect hair growth and loss, with too much causing excess hair and too little leading to hair loss.
research Corticotropin-releasing hormone: An autocrine hormone that promotes lipogenesis in human sebocytes
CRH promotes fat production in skin cells, affecting conditions like acne.
research The murine hair follicle is a melatonin target
Melatonin directly affects mouse hair follicles and may influence hair growth.
research Treatment for chemotherapy‐induced alopecia in mice using parathyroid hormone agonists and antagonists linked to a collagen binding domain
PTH-CBD agonists may help regrow hair after chemotherapy.
research Leptin controls hair follicle cycling
Leptin helps start the growth phase of hair.
research Non-pigmentary actions of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone--lessons from the cutaneous melanocortin system.
Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone helps manage skin inflammation and protect against UV damage.
research New effects of caffeine on corticotropin‐releasing hormone (CRH)‐induced stress along the intrafollicular classical hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis (CRH‐R1/2, IP3‐R, ACTH, MC‐R2) and the neurogenic non‐HPA axis (substance P, p75NTRand TrkA) inex vivohuman male androgenetic scalp hair follicles
Caffeine may help reduce stress-induced hair loss.
research Inhibition of prolactin promotes secondary skin follicle activation in cashmere goats
Blocking prolactin increases the activity of secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats.
research Are sex hormones promising candidates to explain sex disparities in the COVID-19 pandemic?
Sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone may affect COVID-19 severity differently in men and women, potentially influencing prevention and treatment strategies.
research Sex hormones in SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility: key players or confounders?
Sex hormones' effects on COVID-19 are unclear and more research is needed to understand their potential as treatment.
research Effects of Testosterone on the Expression of Connexin 26 and Connexin 43 in the Uterus of Rats During Early Pregnancy
