research Plain Language Summaries
Most clinicians follow discharge guidelines, many lupus patients don't use sunscreen regularly, dithranol is effective for psoriasis, biopsy methods should be based on lesion type, voriconazole may raise skin cancer risk, a new scale can help diagnose female hair loss early, and most melanomas may develop from existing moles.
research Scalp Pustule as a Manifestation of Erlotinib-Induced Skin Toxicity: Report of Two Cases and Literature Review
Erlotinib can cause scalp pustules and hair loss, needing early treatment with antibiotics and steroids.
research Androgen‐inducible TGF‐β1 from balding dermal papilla cells inhibits epithelial cell growth: a clue to understanding paradoxical effects of androgen on human hair growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.
research Mechanism of action of androgen in hair follicles
Testosterone affects hair follicles differently across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing more activity of a specific enzyme and presence of androgen receptors compared to scalp hair.
research 773 Generation of human hair follicle organoids in vitro and ex vivo by co-culture of primary human hair matrix keratinocytes and dermal papilla fibroblasts
Scientists successfully grew mini hair follicles using human skin cells, which could help treat baldness.
research Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Hair Growth using Artificial Intelligence-based Trichoscopy and Ki67+ Keratinocytes Analysis: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial
PRP significantly boosts hair growth in androgenic alopecia patients.
research 562 Neuroendocrinology of human scalp hair follicles: Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) stimulates hair growth and controls a fully functional intrafollicular hypothalamic-pituitary-somatotropic (HPS) signaling axis
Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) boosts hair growth and human scalp hair follicles have their own growth hormone system.
research 051 γδ T cells as novel players in alopecia areata pathobiology: Vδ1 + T lymphocytes may recognize “stressed” hair follicle keratinocytes, leading to IFNγ-dependent hair follicle dystrophy and immune privilege collapse
Targeting specific T cells may help treat alopecia areata.
research Evaluation of the Effect of Plant Mixture Ethanol Extracts Containing Biota orientalis L. Extract on Suppression of Sebum in Cultured Sebocytes and on Stimulation of Growth of Keratinocytes Co-cultured with Hair Papilla Cells
The extract reduced sebum production and promoted hair growth.
research Stress-sensing in the human greying hair follicle: Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) depletion in hair bulb melanocytes in canities-prone scalp
Hair greying is linked to reduced ATM protein in hair cells, which protects against stress and damage.
research 704 Is intrafollicular autophagy an essential mechanism that permits human hair follicles to remain in prolonged anagen in vivo?
Autophagy, a cell recycling process, is crucial for prolonged hair growth and could be a potential target for treating hair growth disorders.
research 650 Controlling mTORC1 activity as a novel therapeutic strategy for managing human hair growth and pigmentation
Blocking mTORC1 activity with rapamycin could help increase hair pigmentation and growth, potentially reversing gray hair.
research A response to “Male balding is a major risk factor for severe COVID-19”
The authors suggest that scalp hair might protect against COVID-19 and call for more research on scalp health and the virus.
research Ultraviolet and androgenetic alopecia
Protecting hair and scalp from sunlight may help prevent hair loss.
research 1432 IL-9/IL-9R signaling as a novel regulator of human hair follicle growth and immune privilege
IL-9/IL-9R signaling can negatively affect human hair growth and may be a target for treating hair loss conditions.
research 056 IL-15 prolongs hair growth and operates as a guardian of human hair follicle immune privilege
IL-15 helps maintain hair growth and protects the immune status of hair follicles.
research A simple assay for the study of human hair follicle damage induced by ionizing irradiation
Ionizing radiation damages human hair follicles by stopping cell growth, causing cell death, disrupting color, and increasing stress and damage markers.
