research Male androgenetic alopecia
Male pattern baldness involves hormone-related hair thinning, shorter hair, and inflammation.
research A model system for long-term serum-free suspension organ culture of human fetal tissues: experiments on digits and skin from multiple body regions
Scientists developed a method to grow human fetal skin and digits in a lab for 3-4 weeks, which could help study skin features and understand genetic interactions in tissue formation.
research Hair follicles and their role in skin health
Hair follicles are essential for skin health, aiding in hair growth, wound healing, and immune function.
research The genetics of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata has a complex genetic basis that was not fully understood as of 2001.
research An ultrastructural study on corkscrew hairs and cigarette‐ash‐shaped hairs observed by dermoscopy of tinea capitis
Corkscrew and cigarette-ash-shaped hairs in tinea capitis are caused by internal hair degradation and external resistance.
research Clinical relevance of hair microscopy in alopecia
Hair microscopy is useful for diagnosing certain hair loss conditions but has limitations and must be interpreted carefully.
research Ptosis in childhood
Childhood ptosis can vary from a minor cosmetic issue to a serious condition and may signal other health problems.
research The role of P-cadherin in skin biology and skin pathology: lessons from the hair follicle
P-cadherin is important for hair growth and health, and its problems can cause hair and skin disorders.
research Age-Related Changes in Female Scalp Dermal Sheath and Dermal Fibroblasts: How the Hair Follicle Environment Impacts Hair Aging
Aging causes changes in the scalp that can affect hair growth and lead to older-looking hair in women.
research Advanced Medical Therapies in the Management of Non-Scarring Alopecia: Areata and Androgenic Alopecia
Advanced therapies like gene, cell, and tissue engineering show promise for hair regrowth in alopecia, but their safety and effectiveness need more verification.
research Development of a new GC–MS/MS method for the determination of metformin in human hair
A new method was created to measure metformin in hair, showing potential for monitoring treatment and medical investigations.
research Primary scalp alopecia: new histopathological tools, new concepts and a practical guide to diagnosis
The document concludes that new methods improve the accuracy of diagnosing scalp alopecia and challenges the old way of classifying it.
research Common Dermatologic Conditions
The document concludes that quick referral and appropriate treatments are crucial for managing common skin conditions and preventing permanent damage.
research Tooth, hair and claw: Comparing epithelial stem cell niches of ectodermal appendages
The conclusion is that teeth, hair, and claws have similar stem cell niches, which are important for growth and repair, and more research is needed on their regulation and potential markers.
research Evidence for a functional interaction of WNT10A and EBF1 in male-pattern baldness
WNT10A and EBF1 interaction affects hair growth in male-pattern baldness.
research Defining microRNA signatures of hair follicular stem and progenitor cells in healthy and androgenic alopecia patients
Found microRNA differences in hair cells, suggesting potential treatment targets for hair loss.
research Microscopical characterization of known postmortem root bands using light and scanning electron microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Complex Changes in the Apoptotic and Cell Differentiation Programs during Initiation of the Hair Follicle Response to Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy causes complex changes in hair follicle cells that can lead to hair loss.
research Androgenetic alopecia
Various treatments exist for hair loss, but more research is needed for better options.
research Small Intestinal Organoid-Derived SP Cells Contribute to Repair of Irradiation-Induced Skin Injury
Intestinal stem cells can help repair skin damage from radiation.
research Perspectives in dermatopathology: telomeres and telomerase in ageing and cancer; with emphasis on cutaneous disease
Short telomeres contribute to aging and cancer, and while telomerase can delay aging, it may also promote cancer.
research A comparison of graft implantation techniques for hair transplantation
The best hair transplant method depends on the desired look; faster techniques may not give better results or save money.
research Eyelash alopecia areata: case series and literature review
Eyelash alopecia areata often goes undiagnosed and can lead to complete eyelash regrowth, especially in younger patients.
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 Can plant‐derived phytochemicals provide symptom relief for hair loss? A critical review
Some plant-based chemicals may help with hair growth, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Exacerbation of alopecia areata during pegylated interferon alpha-2b and ribavirin therapy, possibly due to the collapse of hair follicle immune privilege
A woman's hair loss worsened after starting hepatitis C treatment due to immune changes in her hair follicles.
research The eye and the skin in endocrine metabolic diseases
Diabetes can lead to blindness and skin problems, and managing blood sugar and blood pressure is crucial to prevent these complications.
