research Prolactin and the Skin: A Dermatological Perspective on an Ancient Pleiotropic Peptide Hormone
Prolactin affects hair growth and skin conditions, and could be a target for new skin disease treatments.
research Hormones and the pilosebaceous unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research Lichen Planopilaris and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia as Model Epithelial Stem Cell Diseases
Lichen Planopilaris and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia may help us understand hair follicle stem cell disorders and suggest new treatments.
research Androgen modulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in androgenetic alopecia
Androgens may block hair growth signals, targeting this could treat hair loss.
research Adipose and Hair Function: An aPPARent Connection
Fat tissue and a specific protein are crucial for healthy hair growth and maintenance.
research A summary of in vitro, phase I, and phase II studies evaluating the mechanism of action, safety, and efficacy of clascoterone (cortexolone 17a propionate, CB-03-01) in androgenetic alopecia
Clascoterone safely promotes hair growth similar to minoxidil.
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 Precision therapeutics in non-scarring alopecia: a systemic genomic and pathway-based framework for targeted interventions
Personalized treatments for hair loss focus on specific genetic and biological pathways.
research Neuroendocrine Controls of Keratin Expression in Human Skin
Neurohormones help control skin health and could treat skin disorders.
research Repigmentation of hair after latanoprost therapy
Latanoprost therapy potentially caused a woman's white hair to darken again.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Prostanoid receptors in anagen human hair follicles
Human hair follicles contain a complex network of prostanoid receptors that may influence hair growth.
research After Skin Wounding, Noncoding dsRNA Coordinates Prostaglandins and Wnts to Promote Regeneration
After skin is damaged, noncoding dsRNA helps prostaglandins and Wnts work together to repair tissue and promote hair growth.
research The prostaglandin synthases, COX-2 and L-PGDS, mediate prostate hyperplasia induced by low-dose bisphenol A
Low-dose bisphenol A increases prostate size in rats by affecting certain enzymes.
research Topical Administration of 15‐Deoxy‐Δ12,14‐Prostaglandin J2 Using a Nonionic Cream: Effect on UVB‐Induced Skin Oxidative, Inflammatory, and Histopathological Modifications in Mice
15d‐PGJ2 cream protects against UVB-induced skin damage in mice.
research Minoxidil may suppress androgen receptor-related functions
Minoxidil can reduce functions related to androgen receptors.
research The efficacy of topical prostaglandin analogs for hair loss: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Topical prostaglandin analogs may help with hair growth but more research is needed.
research Repurposing of H1-receptor antagonists (levo)cetirizine, (des)loratadine, and fexofenadine as a case study for systematic analysis of trials on clinicaltrials.gov using semi-automated processes with custom-coded software
Custom software found that common allergy drugs might have new uses for various conditions and could improve survival in some cancers.
research Role of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor in female androgenetic alopecia
IGF-1R may play a role in female hair loss and could be a treatment target.
research Investigating the effects of metabolic dysregulation on hair follicles: a comparison of HIV ‐infected women with and without central lipohypertrophy
Central lipohypertrophy in HIV-infected women may lead to shorter eyelashes.
research Female pattern hair loss—An update
Female pattern hair loss has multiple causes and treatments, with new therapies showing promise.
research Pharmacological therapeutics in androgenetic alopecia
Minoxidil and finasteride are effective for treating hair loss, with dutasteride showing potential but with side effects.
research Expression of Cyclooxygenase Isozymes During Morphogenesis and Cycling of Pelage Hair Follicles in Mouse Skin: Precocious Onset of the First Catagen Phase and Alopecia upon Cyclooxygenase-2 Overexpression
Overexpression of COX-2 causes early hair loss in mice, but can be prevented with a COX-2 inhibitor.
