120-150 / 1000+ resultsresearch Stress and the Hair Follicle
Stress can cause hair loss and skin issues by affecting hair growth cycles.
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 Biology of hair pigmentation and its role in premature canities
Early hair graying is often inherited and influenced by genetics, environment, and lifestyle, but treatment options are limited.
research CRF Receptor Antagonist Astressin-B Reverses and Prevents Alopecia in CRF Over-Expressing Mice
Astressin-B can reverse and prevent hair loss in stressed mice.
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 and the skin
CRH in the skin acts like the body's stress response system, affecting cell behavior and immune activity.
research Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) But Not Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (a-MSH) as a Mediator of Adrenalectomy Induced Hair Growth in Mink
ACTH promotes hair growth in mink, but α-MSH does not.
research New developments in our understanding of acne pathogenesis and treatment
We now understand more about what causes acne and this could lead to better, more personalized treatments.
research Prolactin: A Mammalian Stress Hormone and Its Role in Cutaneous Pathophysiology
Prolactin affects skin health and may lead to new treatments for skin and hair issues.
research Involvement of neurosteroids in the control of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity in pregnant sheep under basal and stressful conditions
Neurosteroids play a key role in controlling the brain-adrenal gland activity in pregnant sheep, both in normal and stressful situations.
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 Human Female Hair Follicles Are a Direct, Nonclassical Target for Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone
Thyroid-stimulating hormone affects hair follicles but doesn't change hair growth or color.
research Human Hair Graying Revisited: Principles, Misconceptions, and Key Research Frontiers
Hair graying is caused by damage and cell depletion but might be temporarily reversible with drugs and hormones.
research Dissecting the Impact of α-MSH-MC1R-cAMP Signaling on UVA-Induced Stress in Fibroblasts - Implications for Regulation of Cutaneous Photoaging
The α-MSH-MC1R-cAMP pathway does not protect skin cells from UVA damage.
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 Tumour Necrosis Factor Alpha, Interferon Gamma and Substance P Are Novel Modulators of Extrapituitary Prolactin Expression in Human Skin
TNFα, IFNγ, and Substance P significantly affect prolactin levels in human skin, suggesting new treatments for skin and hair conditions.
research Recent advances in neuropeptide-related omics and gene editing: Spotlight on NPY and somatostatin and their roles in growth and food intake of fish
New tools show that in fish, NPY increases feeding and somatostatin decreases it.
research Neuroimmunoendocrine circuitry of the ‘brain-skin connection’
Stress can worsen skin conditions and stop hair growth by affecting the body's stress response system.
research Spatial Distribution and Functional Impact of Human Scalp Hair Follicle Microbiota
Scalp hair follicle microbes affect hair health and could be used for treatments.
research Morphological and inflammatory changes in the skin of autopsied fetuses according to the type of stress

High mTORC1 activity slows hair growth and causes it to lose color.
research Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia Beyond Cytotoxicity: Hair Follicle Immune Privilege Collapse and JAK-STAT Signaling
Chemotherapy-induced hair loss may be linked to immune system changes, and certain treatments could help but need careful use.
research Protective Role of Melatonin and Its Metabolites in Skin Aging
Melatonin, a hormone, can help protect skin from aging by reducing stress, inflammation, and damage, and may also help treat hair loss in women.
research Effects of natural products on skin inflammation caused by abnormal hormones secreted by the adrenal gland
