Certain miRNAs play a key role in the growth of cashmere by affecting hair follicle development and regeneration.
research Association between stress and bilateral symmetrical alopecia in free-ranging Formosan macaques in Mt. Longevity, Taiwan
Stress is likely causing hair loss in Formosan macaques.
research Possible relationships between the physical conditions of cattle and the occurrence of structural modifications of their coat hair
Vitamin A deficiency changes cattle hair structure, while pregnancy may improve it, suggesting hair can indicate cattle health.
research Adrenal steroid hormone concentrations in dogs with hair cycle arrest (Alopecia X) before and during treatment with melatonin and mitotane
Melatonin and mitotane treatment led to hair re-growth in 62% of dogs with Alopecia X, but this was not always linked to normal hormone levels.
research Melatonin membrane receptors in peripheral tissues: Distribution and functions
Melatonin affects many body functions beyond sleep by interacting with specific receptors in various tissues.
research Evidence of increased DNA methylation of the androgen receptor gene in occipital hair follicles from men with androgenetic alopecia
Men with hair loss have more DNA changes in back-of-head hair follicles, possibly protecting them from thinning.
research Non-invasive Approaches for the Diagnosis of Autoimmune/Autoinflammatory Skin Diseases—A Focus on Psoriasis and Lupus erythematosus
Non-invasive methods show promise for diagnosing skin diseases like psoriasis and lupus but need more research for regular use.
research The inconsistent regulation of HOXC13 on different keratins and the regulation mechanism on HOXC13 in cashmere goat (Capra hircus)
The HOXC13 gene affects different hair proteins in cashmere goats in varied ways and is controlled by a feedback loop and other factors.
research Single hair analysis by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry detects small changes in dietary zinc intake: A nested randomized controlled trial
Hair analysis can detect small changes in dietary zinc intake.
research Therapeutic Efficacy of a Combination Therapy of Topical 17α-Estradiol and Topical Minoxidil on Female Pattern Hair Loss: A Noncomparative, Retrospective Evaluation
Combination of 17α-estradiol and minoxidil improves hair growth and reduces hair loss in most patients.
research Is low‐level laser therapy useful as an adjunctive treatment for canine acral lick dermatitis? A randomized, double‐blinded, sham‐controlled study
Low-level laser therapy did not reduce licking or improve lesions in dogs with ALD but did increase hair growth.
research Environment of the Anagen Follicle
The document concludes that hair follicles have a complex environment and our understanding of it is growing, but there are limitations when applying animal study findings to humans.
research Genome Array on Differentially Expressed Genes of Skin Tissue in Cashmere Goat at Early Anagen of Cashmere Growth Cycle Using DNA Microarray
Researchers found 24 genes that change significantly and affect cashmere growth in goats; this could help increase cashmere production.
research Hair Follicles as Micro-Organs: MicroRNA-Mediated Control of Growth, Cycling, and Fiber Traits
MicroRNAs play a key role in controlling hair growth and quality in sheep and goats.
research Dehydrogenase, Cortisol, Dopamine, Zinc, and Vitamin D3 in Iraqi Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS patients have higher LDH and lower cortisol, dopamine, zinc, and vitamin D3, which may contribute to their symptoms and obesity.
research Effect of Melatonin on Genes Including FGF5 That Related to Hair Growth in Cashmere Goat Skin
Melatonin increased the activity of a hair growth gene in Cashmere goats.
research Quercetin promotes production of secondary hair follicle stem cells in cashmere goat: a mechanistic study
Quercetin boosts hair follicle stem cell growth and survival in cashmere goats.
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
