research Kin‐cohort analysis of LRRK2‐G2019S penetrance in Parkinson's disease
The LRRK2-G2019S mutation in Parkinson's disease has a lifetime penetrance of 25-35%, and finasteride may help reduce symptoms in adult male Tourette syndrome patients.
research A preliminary study of finasteride in Tourette syndrome
Finasteride reduces Tourette syndrome symptoms, but results may be limited due to potential biases.
research Disruption of Smad4 in Mouse Epidermis Leads to Depletion of Follicle Stem Cells
Disrupting Smad4 in mouse skin causes early hair follicle stem cell activity that leads to their eventual depletion.
research Stimulation of the Follicular Bulge LGR5+ and LGR6+ Stem Cells with the Gut-Derived Human Alpha Defensin 5 Results in Decreased Bacterial Presence, Enhanced Wound Healing, and Hair Growth from Tissues Devoid of Adnexal Structures
Human alpha defensin 5 helps heal wounds, reduce bacteria, and grow hair on burned skin.
research Desferrioxamine treatment of aceruloplasminemia: Long‐term follow‐up
Finasteride may help reduce symptoms in male Tourette syndrome patients.
research Skin and hair: models for exploring organ regeneration
Skin and hair can help us understand organ regeneration, especially how certain stem cells might be used to form new organs.
research Clinical features, with video documentation, of the original familial lewy body parkinsonism caused by α‐synuclein triplication (Iowa kindred)
The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.
research Calcium regulation of stem cells
Calcium is important for stem cell function and maintenance, especially in blood and skin cells.
research Pathological findings in a case of stiff person syndrome with anti‐GAD antibodies
Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with Tourette syndrome.
research No evidence for THAP1/DYT6 variants as disease modifiers in DYT1 dystonia
THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.
research TGFβ family mimetic peptide promotes proliferation of human hair follicle dermal papilla cells and hair growth in C57BL/6 mice
A peptide called DPS-1 helps human scalp cells grow and stimulates hair growth in mice.
research Fatal autoimmunity results from the conditional deletion of Snai2 and Snai3
Deleting Snai2 and Snai3 causes fatal autoimmunity.
research Mutation in 5′ upstream region of GCH I gene causes familial dopa-responsive dystonia
A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.
research Severe metabolic disorders coexisting with Werner syndrome: a case report
A patient with Werner syndrome showed a range of aging-like symptoms and metabolic issues, underscoring the need for early detection and treatment.
research Function of KLF4 in Stem Cell Biology
KLF4 is important for maintaining stem cells and has potential in cancer treatment and wound healing.
research Ability to cycle despite severe freezing of gait in atypical parkinsonism in Fahr's syndrome
Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in Tourette syndrome patients.
research Encephalitis lethargica due to Epstein–Barr virus infection
Finasteride may help reduce tic severity in male Tourette syndrome patients.
research Frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism presenting as posterior cortical atrophy
A woman's unique dementia was misdiagnosed, a genetic mutation increases Parkinson's risk with age, and finasteride may help with Tourette syndrome.
research Abstracts
The document reports findings on genetic research, including ethical concerns about genome editing, improved diagnosis of mitochondrial mutations, solving inherited eye diseases, confirming gene roles in epilepsy, linking a gene to aneurysms, and identifying genes associated with age-related macular degeneration.
research The Hair Follicle Stem Cell as the Paradigm Multipotent Adult Stem Cell
Hair follicle stem cells can turn into many cell types and may help repair nerve damage and have other medical uses.
research Alk1 acts in non-endothelial VE-cadherin+ perineurial cells to maintain nerve branching during hair homeostasis
Alk1 in specific cells is crucial for proper nerve branching and hair function.
research A mouse with bad hair and poor taste
A defective gene causes hair loss and taste insensitivity in BTBR mice.
research Epidermal Wnt/beta-catenin signalling promotes dermal adipocyte differentiation during hair follicle morphogenesis and regeneration
Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in the skin helps fat cell development during hair growth and repair.
research Bioactivities, isolation and purification methods of polysaccharides from natural products: A review
Polysaccharides have many health benefits and are used in drugs, but isolating and purifying them is complex and requires careful methods.
research Exogenous and endogenous lipids of human hair
Removing external lipids from hair reduces moisture and increases strength, while removing internal lipids decreases water permeability.
research Integral Roles of Specific Proteoglycans in Hair Growth and Hair Loss: Mechanisms behind the Bioactivity of Proteoglycan Replacement Therapy with Nourkrin® with Marilex® in Pattern Hair Loss and Telogen Effluvium
Proteoglycans are important for hair growth, and a specific treatment can help reduce hair loss.
research Structure of intermediate filament assembly in hair deduced from hydration studies using small-angle neutron scattering
Hair's internal fibers are arranged in a pattern that doesn't let much water in, and treatments like oils and heat change how much water hair can absorb.
research Preparation of Water Soluble Wool Keratin and Its Application for Human Hair
Water-soluble wool keratin can protect human hair from damage during treatments.
research Epidermal homeostasis: a balancing act of stem cells in the skin
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing the skin and hair, using a complex mix of signals to do so.
