research The agouti mouse model: an epigenetic biosensor for nutritional and environmental alterations on the fetal epigenome
Diet changes can protect against harmful environmental effects on fetal development.
research Female pattern hair loss
Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.
research Noggin is required for induction of the hair follicle growth phase in postnatal skin
Noggin is necessary to start the hair growth phase in skin after birth.
research Alopecia Areata: A tissue specific autoimmune disease of the hair follicle
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss due to the immune system attacking hair follicles, often influenced by genetics and stress.
research Lupus erythematosus: systemic and cutaneous manifestations
Lupus affects the body and skin, causing joint pain and skin issues that can be treated with steroids and antimalarial drugs.
research The mesenchymal component of hair follicle neogenesis: background, methods and molecular characterization
The document concludes that specific cells are essential for hair growth and more research is needed to understand how to maintain their hair-inducing properties.
research Human Scalp Hair Follicles Are Both a Target and a Source of Prolactin, which Serves as an Autocrine and/or Paracrine Promoter of Apoptosis-Driven Hair Follicle Regression
Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.
research Platelet-rich plasma in androgenic alopecia: Myth or an effective tool
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a cheap and easy treatment for hair loss, but not suitable for everyone. It also helps in healing ulcers, rejuvenating skin, and improving hair transplants.
research Epidemiology and treatment modalities for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia
More men are getting benign prostatic hyperplasia, and there are many treatments, from medication to surgery, with new methods being developed.
research Principles of Hair Cycle Control
Manipulating the catagen and telogen phases of hair growth could lead to treatments for hair disorders.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The document concludes that proper diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial for managing Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia effectively.
research Immunohistochemical localization of types 1 and 2 5α-reductase in human scalp
The study found that two enzymes linked to hair loss are located in different parts of the scalp, supporting a common treatment's effectiveness.
research Thymosin β4increases hair growth by activation of hair follicle stem cells
Thymosin β4 promotes hair growth by activating stem cells in hair follicles.
research A role for p75 neurotrophin receptor in the control of apoptosis‐driven hair follicle regression
The p75 neurotrophin receptor is important for hair follicle regression by controlling cell death.
research Prolactin and Its Receptor Are Expressed in Murine Hair Follicle Epithelium, Show Hair Cycle-Dependent Expression, and Induce Catagen
Prolactin affects hair growth cycles and can cause early hair follicle regression.
research The Cytology and Cytochemistry of the Wool Follicle
Wool follicles are complex, involving interactions between different cell types and structures.
research Trichoscopy for common hair loss diseases: Algorithmic method for diagnosis
The conclusion is that an algorithm using trichoscopy helps diagnose different types of hair loss but may need updates and a biopsy if results are unclear.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Epithelial Differentiation and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition
The TGF-β family helps control how cells change and move, affecting skin, hair, and organ development.
research Methotrexate in dermatology
Methotrexate is a key, cost-effective drug for skin conditions, but requires careful monitoring for side effects.
research Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH): a new player in human hair‐growth control
TRH stimulates human hair growth and extends the hair growth phase.
research p53 Involvement in the Control of Murine Hair Follicle Regression
The p53 protein helps control hair follicle shrinking by promoting cell death in mice.
research Perspectives of Kennedy's disease
Kennedy's disease leads to muscle weakness and sensory issues, has no cure but manageable symptoms, and future treatments look promising.
research Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling Regulates Postnatal Hair Follicle Differentiation and Cycling
Blocking BMP signaling causes hair loss and disrupts hair growth cycles.
research The structural and functional aspects of hair cell regeneration in the chick as a result of exposure to intense sound
Chickens exposed to loud noise can quickly regain hearing mostly due to repair of the tectorial membrane, not just hair cell regeneration.
research The role of lymphocytes in the development and treatment of alopecia areata
Lymphocytes, especially CD8+ T cells, play a key role in causing alopecia areata, and targeting them may lead to new treatments.
research A position effect on TRPS1 is associated with Ambras syndrome in humans and the Koala phenotype in mice
A position effect on the TRPS1 gene causes excessive hair growth in humans and mice.
research Baldness and the androgen receptor: the AR polyglycine repeat polymorphism does not confer susceptibility to androgenetic alopecia
AR polyglycine repeat doesn't cause baldness.
research Gene Expression During Drosophila Wing Morphogenesis and Differentiation
Key genes are crucial for Drosophila wing development and could be insecticide targets.
research Cyclosporin A-induced hair growth in mice is associated with inhibition of calcineurin-dependent activation of NFAT in follicular keratinocytes
Cyclosporin A helps mice grow hair by blocking a specific protein activity in skin cells.
