research Estrogens and the hair follicle. Ostrogene und der Haarfollikel
Estrogens generally inhibit hair growth and improve skin quality, but their exact effects on hair follicles are complex and not fully understood.
research 862 Defining the molecular signature of the hair follicle dermal sheath and its functional requirement for hair cycle progression during catagen
The hair follicle dermal sheath is essential for hair shedding and needs to communicate with the outer root sheath for normal hair growth cycles.
research An Atlas of Hair Pathology—with Clinical CorrelationsSperlingLeonard C158 pp Price £66.99 ISBN 1-84214-203-8 (h/b) London: Parthenon, 2003
The book is a detailed guide on hair diseases and diagnosis, useful for skin disease experts.
research Molecular principles of hair follicle induction and morphogenesis
Hair follicle development is controlled by interactions between skin tissues and specific molecular signals.
research Trichoscopy: a new frontier for the diagnosis of hair diseases
Trichoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing hair and scalp diseases without needing skin biopsies.
research Evaluation and Management of the Hair Loss Patient in the Primary Care Setting
Doctors should diagnose hair loss by examining the patient and possibly doing tests, and then treat it based on the type, which may prevent permanent hair loss.
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research The use of low-level light for hair growth: Part I
Low-level laser therapy might help hair growth, but more research is needed.
research KGF and EGF signalling block hair follicle induction and promote interfollicular epidermal fate in developing mouse skin
EGF and KGF signalling prevent hair follicle formation and promote skin cell development in mice.
research White Lupin Cluster Root Acclimation to Phosphorus Deficiency and Root Hair Development Involve Unique Glycerophosphodiester Phosphodiesterases
White lupin uses specific genes to grow root hairs and access phosphorus when it's scarce.
research Human hair follicles are an extrarenal source and a nonhematopoietic target of erythropoietin
Human hair follicles produce and respond to erythropoietin, helping protect against stress.
research Hoxc-Dependent Mesenchymal Niche Heterogeneity Drives Regional Hair Follicle Regeneration
Hoxc genes control hair growth through Wnt signaling.
research Straight hair associated with interferon-alfa plus ribavirin in hepatitis C infection
ALA-PDT is effective and safe for chronic X-ray dermatitis, providing complete or partial remission.
research The Hair Follicle: An Underutilized Source of Cells and Materials for Regenerative Medicine
Hair follicles are valuable for regenerative medicine and wound healing.
research The zombie commodity: hair and the politics of its globalization
The article concludes that the global hair trade is exploitative and reflects complex cultural and economic issues.
research NF-κB Participates in Mouse Hair Cycle Control and Plays Distinct Roles in the Various Pelage Hair Follicle Types
NF-κB is crucial for different stages and types of hair growth in mice.
research The Metabolism and Control Mechanism of Human Hair Follicles
Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.
research Azimuthal Scattering from Elliptical Hair Fibers
Light scatters differently from elliptical hair fibers than from circular ones, and a new model better predicts this behavior, especially for shiny highlights.
research Characterization of X‐linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XL‐HED) hair and sweat gland phenotypes using phototrichogram analysis and live confocal imaging
People with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia have no sweat ducts and less, thinner hair.
research Expression of NAD+dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase and protection of prostaglandins in human hair follicle
A substance called compound-1 could help increase hair growth by maintaining prostaglandin levels in hair follicles.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Root hair growth from the pH point of view
pH changes are crucial for root hair growth because they affect enzymes and proteins that control the cell wall and growth.
research Androgenetic alopecia and hair growth promotion state of the art: Present and future
Current research explores hair growth drugs, while future research aims for personalized treatments.
research Hair and nail disorders of childhood
The document concludes that various childhood hair and nail disorders exist, some may improve on their own, and advances in genetics and immunology could enhance treatment and counseling.
research Evaluation of efficacy of QR 678 and QR678 neo hair growth factor formulation for the treatment of female pattern alopecia in patients with PCOS—A prospective study
QR 678 and QR678 Neo treatments are effective for hair loss in women with PCOS.
research Micro-mechanical approaches to characterize tip growth: Insights into root hair elasto-viscoplastic properties
Root hair growth mechanics depend on turgor pressure and cell wall properties.
research Polarized microscopy in genetic hair disorders: case series
Polarized microscopy helps identify hair irregularities in genetic disorders.
