research Epigenetic control of skin and hair regeneration after wounding
Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.
research Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions
The skin's basement membrane has specialized structures and molecules for different tissue interactions, important for hair growth and attachment.
research Destruction of the arrector pili muscle and fat infiltration in androgenic alopecia
Hair loss in male pattern baldness involves muscle degeneration and increased scalp fat.
research When should an insulin sensitizing agent be used in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome?
Metformin should be used for PCOS mainly in those with glucose intolerance, and has limited benefits for infertility or hirsutism.
research Origin, Clinical Presentation, and Diagnosis of Facial Hypermelanoses
Facial dark spots can be caused by the sun, genetics, makeup, or medicine, and are diagnosed by patient history and skin tests.
research Exogen hair characterization in human scalp
The conclusion is that exogen is a unique hair cycle phase and the new sampling method specifically targets this stage, which may help in future hair loss research.

Citrullus colocynthis fruit extract may effectively treat testosterone-related hair loss, similar to finasteride.
research 12 Treatment of hirsutism with 5α-reductase inhibitors
New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.
research Medicalisation, pharmaceutical promotion and the Internet: a critical multimodal discourse analysis of hair loss websites
Commercial hair loss websites promote Propecia by making men feel insecure about baldness and suggesting it's a medical issue needing treatment.
research Somatostatin Expression in Human Hair Follicles and Its Potential Role in Immune Privilege
Somatostatin may help protect hair follicles from immune attacks.
research Skin diseases associated with hepatitis C virus: Facts and controversies
Hepatitis C virus can cause skin diseases and dermatologists play a crucial role in identifying these conditions.
research Changes in distribution pattern of CD8 lymphocytes in the scalp in alopecia areata during treatment with diphencyprone
Diphencyprone treatment increases CD8 lymphocytes in the scalp, which is associated with hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients.
research The Biological Effects of a Pulsed Electrostatic Field with Specific Reference to Hair Electrotrichogenesis
A pulsed electrical field safely and effectively increased hair growth.
research Skin Manifestations Associated with Autoimmune Liver Diseases: a Systematic Review
Autoimmune liver diseases are likely linked to certain skin conditions like vitiligo and psoriasis.
research Characterization and quantification of wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis using in vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy
In vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy is an effective, non-invasive way to study and measure new hair growth after skin injury in mice.
research The regeneration of caudal epidermal specializations inLygodactylus picturatus keniensis (gekkonidae, Lacertilia)
Lizards can regrow their tail scales with the same structure, distribution, and gender-specific features as the original ones, and this unique ability is not seen in adult mammals.
research Allopregnanolone mediates the exacerbation of Tourette-like responses by acute stress in mouse models
Stress worsens Tourette symptoms by increasing allopregnanolone levels.
research Italian Survey for the Evaluation of the Effects of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic on Alopecia Areata Recurrence
COVID-19 increased alopecia areata relapses due to inflammation and stress.
research Targeting neurosteroid synthesis as a therapy for schizophrenia-related alterations induced by early psychosocial stress
A drug improved schizophrenia-like symptoms in stressed rats by changing brain steroid levels.
research Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the family members of women with polycystic ovary syndrome from North India
Family members of North Indian women with PCOS have a high rate of metabolic syndrome.
research Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy for investigating murine telogen skin after spontaneous or depilation-induced hair growth
EPR spectroscopy showed that spontaneous hair growth results in thicker skin and less pigmented hair than depilation-induced growth.
research The Follicular Automaton Model: Effect of Stochasticity and of Synchronization of Hair Cycles
The model showed that randomness accurately describes individual hair growth cycles and that synchronization can cause large fluctuations not seen in humans.
research Insights into the role of the Wnt signaling pathway in the regeneration of animal model systems
The Wnt signaling pathway is crucial for regeneration and could help advance human medicine.
research The Influence of Valproic Acid and Carbamazepine Treatment on Serum Biotin and Zinc Levels and on Biotinidase Activity
Valproic acid and carbamazepine do not change biotin or biotinidase levels but may lower zinc levels, still within normal range.
research Polarographic behavior and determination of finasteride
Method quickly measures finasteride concentration in capsules.
research Scleroderma and L-tryptophan: A possible explanation of the eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome
