research Neuroendocrinology of the hair follicle: principles and clinical perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
research Prolactin and Its Receptor Are Expressed in Murine Hair Follicle Epithelium, Show Hair Cycle-Dependent Expression, and Induce Catagen
Prolactin affects hair growth cycles and can cause early hair follicle regression.
research Stem cells in tissues, organoids, and cancers
Stem cells are crucial for tissue growth, cancer treatment, and disease modeling, but challenges remain in clinical use.
research Insulin Resistance and Skin Diseases
Insulin resistance may contribute to various skin diseases and treating it could improve skin health and prevent more serious conditions.
research Targeted Skin Overexpression of the Mineralocorticoid Receptor in Mice Causes Epidermal Atrophy, Premature Skin Barrier Formation, Eye Abnormalities, and Alopecia
Overexpressing the mineralocorticoid receptor in mouse skin causes skin thinning, early skin barrier development, eye issues, and hair loss.
research T helper 17 cell/regulatory T-cell imbalance in hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa: the link to hair follicle dissection, obesity, smoking and autoimmune comorbidities
An imbalance between certain immune cells is linked to a chronic skin condition and may be influenced by obesity, smoking, and autoimmune issues.
research Hair organ regeneration via the bioengineered hair follicular unit transplantation
Scientists successfully created and transplanted bioengineered hair follicles that function like natural ones, suggesting a new treatment for hair loss.
research Emerging nonmetabolic functions of skin fat
Skin fat has important roles in hair growth, skin repair, immune defense, and aging, and could be targeted for skin and hair treatments.
research The Majority of Multipotent Epidermal Stem Cells Do Not Protect Their Genome by Asymmetrical Chromosome Segregation
Most hair follicle stem cells do not protect their DNA by dividing it unevenly.
research Receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) stimulates the proliferation of epithelial cells of the epidermo-pilosebaceous unit
RANK-RANKL signaling is essential for hair growth and skin health.
research Bacteria induce skin regeneration via IL-1β signaling
Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
research Modulating hair follicle size with W nt10b/DKK 1 during hair regeneration
Wnt10b makes hair follicles bigger, but DKK1 can reverse this effect.
research Defining Hair Follicles in the Age of Stem Cell Bioengineering
The study found that bioengineered hair follicles work when using cells from the same species but have issues when combining human and mouse cells.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism*
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research SCALP HAIR CHARACTERISTICS IN THE NEWBORN INFANT
Assessing newborn scalp hair can reveal important health information.
research Alopecias in lupus erythematosus
Different types of hair loss in lupus need careful diagnosis for proper treatment.
research Inhibition of Rat 5α-Reductase Activity and Testosterone-Induced Sebum Synthesis in Hamster Sebocytes by an Extract ofQuercus acutissimaCortex

research Beyond vitiligo guidelines: combined stratified/personalized approaches for the vitiligo patient
Personalized treatment plans improve vitiligo care.
research Developing stratified epithelia: lessons from the epidermis and thymus
The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
research Rooster feathering, androgenic alopecia, and hormone-dependent tumor growth: What is in common?
Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.
research Review of Human Hair Follicle Biology: Dynamics of Niches and Stem Cell Regulation for Possible Therapeutic Hair Stimulation for Plastic Surgeons
Understanding hair follicle biology and stem cell control could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Alopecia.
The document concludes that correct diagnosis of alopecia types is crucial, scalp biopsies are important, and more research is needed.
research The Hair Follicle Bulge: A Niche for Adult Stem Cells
The hair follicle bulge is an important area for adult stem cells involved in hair growth and repair, with potential for medical use needing more research.
research Prevalence of dermatologic manifestations and metabolic biomarkers in women with polycystic ovary syndrome in north China
Women with PCOS in North China often have hirsutism and acne, with hirsutism linked to metabolic issues.
research The use of polyethylenimine–DNA to topically deliver hTERT to promote hair growth
Using polyethylenimine-DNA to deliver the hTERT gene can stimulate hair growth and may be useful in treating hair loss, but there could be potential cancer risks.
research The Effect of Parathyroid Hormones on Hair Follicle Physiology: Implications for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Parathyroid hormones are important for hair growth, but their use in treating hair loss from chemotherapy is still uncertain.
research Loss of ‘Epidermal Melanin Unit’ Integrity in Human Skin During Melanoma-Genesis
Melanoma development can be linked to the breakdown of skin's melanin-producing units.
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.
