research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.
research Neurogenic Inflammation in Stress-Induced Termination of Murine Hair Growth Is Promoted by Nerve Growth Factor
Stress increases a factor in mice that leads to hair loss, and blocking this factor may prevent it.
research Mast cell deficient and neurokinin-1 receptor knockout mice are protected from stress-induced hair growth inhibition
Certain mice without specific receptors or mast cells don't lose hair from stress.
research Stress-related skin disorders
Stress can worsen skin conditions by affecting hormone levels and immune response.
research Hair organ regeneration via the bioengineered hair follicular unit transplantation
Scientists successfully created and transplanted bioengineered hair follicles that function like natural ones, suggesting a new treatment for hair loss.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor β2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research Hair growth-promoting activity of hot water extract of Thuja orientalis
Thuja orientalis hot water extract may help hair grow by starting the growth phase and improving hair follicle development.
research Primary cicatricial alopecia: Recent advances in understanding and management
New understanding of the causes of primary cicatricial alopecia has led to better diagnosis and potential new treatments.
research Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor and proglucagon expression in mouse skin
Mice skin has components that could help with hair growth and might be used for diabetes treatment.
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 Dietary isoflavone increases insulin-like growth factor-I production, thereby promoting hair growth in mice
Eating isoflavone can help mice grow hair by increasing a growth factor.
research What′s new in cicatricial alopecia?
New treatments and early diagnosis methods for permanent hair loss due to scar tissue are important for managing its psychological effects.
research Melatonin induces a stimulatory action on the scrotal skin components of Soay ram in the non-breeding season
Melatonin stimulates the skin components of ram's scrotum during their non-breeding season.
research Single follicular unit transplantation reconstructs arrector pili muscle and nerve connections and restores functional hair follicle piloerection
Hair transplant surgery can rebuild muscle and nerve connections, allowing transplanted hairs to stand up like normal hairs.
research Inhibitory effect of tianeptine on catagen induction in alopecia areata-like lesions induced by ultrasonic wave stress in mice
Tianeptine, an antidepressant, may prevent stress-induced hair loss in mice.
research Induction of synapse associated protein 102 expression in cyclosporin A-stimulated hair growth
Cyclosporin A promotes hair growth in mice and increases a protein linked to hair growth, but it may not work the same way in humans.
research Human Hair Follicle: An Update on Biology and Perspectives in Hair Growth Disorders Treatment
New treatments for hair growth disorders are needed due to limited current options and complex hair follicle biology.
research Immunopathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
Hair loss in Lichen Planopilaris is caused by immune system issues damaging hair follicles and stem cells.
research Functional Hair Follicle Regeneration
Scientists made working hair follicles using stem cells, helping future hair loss treatments.
research MELATONIN
Melatonin may help with sleep issues, depression, and cancer, but more research is needed.
research Indications for a brain‐hair follicle axis: inhibition of keratinocyte proliferation and up‐regulation of keratinocyte apoptosis in telogen hair follicles by stress and substance P
Stress can cause hair loss by negatively affecting hair follicles and this effect might be reversed with specific treatments.
research Botulinum Toxin Off-Label Use in Dermatology: A Review
Botulinum toxin shows promise for various skin conditions but requires more research for confirmation and standardized use.
research Cicatricial alopecia: What’s new in etiology?
Cicatricial alopecia, a permanent hair loss condition, is mainly caused by damage to specific hair follicle stem cells and abnormal immune responses, with gene regulator PPAR-y and lipid metabolism disorders playing significant roles.
research Sex differences in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis’ response to stress: an important role for gonadal hormones
Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.
research Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
research New approaches to the treatment of osteoporosis
Future osteoporosis treatments should focus on increasing bone growth, with many promising options available.
research Aging and Anti-Aging in Hair and Hair Loss
Hair ages and thins due to factors like inflammation and stress, and treatments like antioxidants and hormones might improve hair health.
