Low-level laser therapy effectively treats female hair loss, increasing hair count by 51%.
research The Clinical Presentation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus has varied symptoms and is hard to diagnose, affecting many body parts and requiring careful clinical judgment.
research Hyperplasia of the Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Is the Primary Histopathologic Abnormality in Lipedematous Scalp
Lipedematous scalp is mainly caused by an increase in fat tissue under the skin and is different from lipedematous alopecia.
research Signalling couples hair follicle stem cell quiescence with reduced histone H3 K4/K9/K27me3 for proper tissue homeostasis
Certain signals are important for reducing specific chemical markers on hair follicle stem cells during rest periods, which is necessary for healthy hair growth.
research Characterisation of cell cycle arrest and terminal differentiation in a maximally proliferative human epithelial tissue: Lessons from the human hair follicle matrix
CIP/KIP proteins help stop cell division and support hair growth.
research Manifestation of Hyperandrogenism in the Continuous Light Exposure-Induced PCOS Rat Model
Continuous light exposure in rats leads to PCOS-like symptoms and suggests sleep habits might affect the disorder's development.
research Follicular and Scarring Disorders in Skin of Color: Presentation and Management
The conclusion is that better understanding and more research are needed to effectively manage follicular and scarring disorders in skin of color, with an emphasis on patient education and cultural awareness.
research Oral zinc sulphate causes murine hair hypopigmentation and is a potent inhibitor of eumelanogenesisin vivo
Oral zinc sulphate reduces dark hair color in mice.
research Management of ‘refractory’ skin disease in patients with lupus erythematosus
The document concludes that treating tough skin disease in lupus involves sun protection, steroids, antimalarials, and various other therapies chosen based on individual risks and benefits.
research ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Finasteride and minoxidil are effective FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
research Alopecia areata: a long‐term follow‐up study of 104 patients
Older age at onset of alopecia areata leads to less severe and shorter episodes, with most patients experiencing significant hair regrowth.
research Gata6 promotes hair follicle progenitor cell renewal by genome maintenance during proliferation
Gata6 is important for protecting hair growth cells from DNA damage and keeping normal hair growth.
research Incomplete Recovery of Erectile Function in Rat after Discontinuation of Dual 5‐Alpha Reductase Inhibitor Therapy
Rats had lasting erectile problems after stopping a certain medication.
research Randomized clinical trial comparing 5% and 1% topical minoxidil for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in Japanese men
5% minoxidil works better for hair growth than 1% minoxidil.
research Drug Delivery Applications of Three-Dimensional Printed (3DP) Mesoporous Scaffolds
3D-printed mesoporous scaffolds show promise for personalized drug delivery with controlled release.
research Signalling by senescent melanocytes hyperactivates hair growth
Senescent melanocytes can boost hair growth by activating hair stem cells.
research High Auxin and High Phosphate Impact on RSL2 Expression and ROS-Homeostasis Linked to Root Hair Growth in Arabidopsis thaliana
High levels of auxin increase root hair growth by activating RSL2 and producing ROS, while high phosphate levels hinder growth by repressing RSL2.
research Psoriasis patients demonstrate HLA-Cw*06:02 allele dosage-dependent T cell proliferation when treated with hair follicle-derived keratin 17 protein
Psoriasis patients' immune response to a hair protein depends on their specific gene type.
research State-dependent signaling by Cav1.2 regulates hair follicle stem cell function
Cav1.2 affects hair growth and could be a target for hair loss treatments.
research Cell Cycle Regulation and Regeneration
Mice that can regenerate tissue have cells that pause in the cell cycle, which is important for healing, similar to axolotls.
research A role for the Tgf-β/Bmp co-receptor Endoglin in the molecular oscillator that regulates the hair follicle cycle
Endoglin is crucial for proper hair growth cycles and stem cell activation in mice.
research Finasteride inhibits the disease-modifying activity of progesterone in the hippocampus kindling model of epileptogenesis
Finasteride worsens seizures in epilepsy rats and speeds up epileptogenesis in mice.
research Expression and function of nuclear receptor co-activator 4: evidence of a potential role independent of co-activator activity
