research The stumptailed macaque as a model for baldness: effects of minoxidil
Minoxidil promotes hair regrowth in early baldness stages and prevents baldness in non-bald scalps.
research Quantitative Models for the Study of Hair Growth in Vivoa
The conclusion is that small hair follicles cause baldness in macaques, and treatments like antiandrogens and minoxidil can prevent hair loss and promote regrowth.
research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque1
Testosterone can slow down hair growth when combined with certain cells from bald scalps, and this effect can be blocked by an androgen receptor blocker.
research Androgenetic alopecia in men and women
Androgenetic alopecia involves genetics, hormones, and can be treated with medications or surgery.
research Histologic response to topically applied minoxidil in male-pattern alopecia
Minoxidil can help grow hair and make hair follicles bigger, but it can also cause side effects.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: In Vivo Models
Stump-tailed macaque best for researching hair loss causes and treatments.
research Alopecia in Rhesus macaques correlates with immunophenotypic alterations in dermal inflammatory infiltrates consistent with hypersensitivity etiology
Hair loss in Rhesus macaques may be caused by a skin allergy-related condition.
research The Metabolism and Control Mechanism of Human Hair Follicles
Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.
research Alopecia areata in a rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)
The monkey's hair loss was due to an autoimmune disease, not genetics.
research The effects of topical diazoxide on hair follicular growth and physiology of the stumptailed macaque
Diazoxide applied to the skin can increase hair growth without harmful side effects.
research Tactile sensitivity in the rat: a correlation between receptor structure and function
Rats have different touch receptors in their paws that help with movement and handling objects.
research Hidradenitis suppurativa
Antiandrogen therapy may be beneficial for women with hidradenitis suppurativa.
research Yin and yang of hair cells
Activin A increases inner ear hair cell development, while follistatin decreases it.
research Penis Endocrinology
Hormones, especially testosterone and DHT, are key for penis development and function, and testosterone therapy may help with erectile dysfunction in those with low levels.
research Healthy Hair: Form and Function
Hair health is influenced by genetics, aging, and environmental factors, with proper care needed to maintain it.
research Hospitalists for the NHS
Antiandrogen therapy may help treat hidradenitis suppurativa.
research Effect of Latanoprost on Hair Growth in the Bald Scalp of the Stump-tailed Macacque: A Pilot Study
Latanoprost, a glaucoma drug, showed potential for promoting hair growth in bald monkeys, especially at higher doses.
research TLRgeting Evasion of Immune Pathways in Glioblastoma
Some brain cancer cells avoid immune system detection, and certain treatments could target this to slow their growth; also, certain fat cell precursors help regenerate hair and skin after injury.
research Cross-linked features of mouse pelage hair resistant to detergent extraction
Some mutant mice have hair with abnormal cross-linking, mainly in the cuticle, not affecting other hair parts.
research The effects of finasteride (Proscar) on hair growth, hair cycle stage, and serum testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in adult male and female stumptail macaques (Macaca arctoides).
Finasteride increases hair growth, prolongs hair cycle, and lowers dihydrotestosterone levels.
research Characterisation of CD4+ stem cells of the skin and their role in skin homeostasis and tumourigenesis
CD4+ skin cells may be precursors to basal cell carcinoma.
research Environmental Factors and Puberty Timing: Expert Panel Research Needs
Chemicals and body size might change when puberty starts and progresses, but more research is needed to confirm this.
research The psychology of hair loss and its implications for patient care
Hair loss can significantly affect a person's self-esteem and body image, especially in young people, those who value their looks highly, and women.
research Surface Lipids as Multifunctional Mediators of Skin Responses to Environmental Stimuli
Skin surface lipids are important for skin health and altering them could help prevent aging and treat skin conditions.
research Aging of the hair follicle pigmentation system
Hair grays due to oxidative stress and fewer functioning melanocytes.
research Seasonal and social correlates of changes in hair, skin, and scrotal condition in vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) of Amboseli National Park, Kenya
Vervet monkeys show physical changes like hair loss and scrotal color changes due to stress or nutrition issues.
research Corneal Endothelial Cell Fate Is Maintained by LGR5 Through the Regulation of Hedgehog and Wnt Pathway
LGR5 helps maintain corneal cell characteristics and prevents unwanted changes by controlling specific cell signaling pathways.
research Oestrogen functions in skin and skin appendages
Oestrogens help maintain healthy skin, heal wounds, and may protect against skin aging and cancer.
research Androgen Action in the Ovary
Androgens are important for normal ovarian function and estrogen production, but may not be the main cause of follicle death.
