research Intermediate hair follicles: a new more clinically relevant model for hair growth investigations
Intermediate hair follicles are a better model for studying hair growth and testing hair loss treatments.
research Intragenic deletion in the Desmoglein 4 gene underlies the skin phenotype in the Iffa Credo “hairless” rat
A gene deletion causes the "hairless" trait in Iffa Credo rats.
research Developing stratified epithelia: lessons from the epidermis and thymus
The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
research Alopecia: A Pathologist's View
The review concludes that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires proper biopsy techniques and understanding the hair growth cycle and underlying causes.
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 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 Effect of Ultraviolet Radiation, Smoking and Nutrition on Hair
Ultraviolet rays damage hair, smoking may cause hair loss, and good nutrition is important for hair health, but genetics mainly decide hair thickness.
research Relations between sex hormone level and characters of hair and skin in healthy young men
Higher androgen levels do not cause baldness in men.
research The Phytocannabinoid (–)-Cannabidiol Operates as a Complex, Differential Modulator of Human Hair Growth: Anti-Inflammatory Submicromolar versus Hair Growth Inhibitory Micromolar Effects
CBD can either reduce inflammation and not affect hair growth at low levels or inhibit hair growth at high levels.
research The arrector pili muscle, the bridge between the follicular stem cell niche and the interfollicular epidermis
The study suggests that the arrector pili muscle is important for hair health and its damage might contribute to hair loss.
research CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Disruption of Fibroblast Growth Factor 5 in Rabbits Results in a Systemic Long Hair Phenotype by Prolonging Anagen
Disrupting the FGF5 gene in rabbits leads to longer hair by extending the hair growth phase.
research Sex Hormones and Antiandrogens Influence In Vitro Growth of Dermal Papilla Cells and Outer Root Sheath Keratinocytes of Human Hair Follicles.
Certain sex hormones and antiandrogens can either slow down or speed up the growth of human hair follicle cells depending on their concentration.
research Improving selective androgen receptor modulator discovery and preclinical evaluation
We need better ways to test and understand SARMs to make safer and more effective treatments.
research Molecular Basis for Hair Loss in Mice Carrying a Novel Nonsense Mutation (Hrrh-R) in the Hairless Gene (Hr)
A new mutation in the hairless gene causes hair loss and skin wrinkling in mice.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research Functional Hair Follicle Regeneration by the Rearrangement of Stem Cells
Stem cells rearrangement regenerates functional hair follicles, potentially treating hair loss.
research Raising hairs
Stem cell treatments can potentially treat baldness, with one trial showing hair growth after injecting a hair-stimulating complex, and no safety issues were reported.
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 The effects of melatonin treatment on wool production and hair follicle cycle in angora rabbits
Melatonin treatment increases wool production and improves fiber quality in angora rabbits.
research Hypothesis: Wound‐induced TLR 3 activation stimulates endogenous retinoic acid synthesis and signalling during regeneration
Activating TLR3 may help produce retinoic acid, important for tissue regeneration.
research Trichoscopic evaluation of frontal hairline recession in Egyptian female patients
Trichoscopy helps diagnose hairline recession causes in Egyptian women, with androgenetic alopecia being the most common.
research Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma (PEM)/Animal Type Melanoma (ATM): Quest for an Origin. Report of One Unusual Case Indicating Follicular Origin and Another Arising in an Intradermal Nevus
The conclusion is that Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma can start from hair follicle stem cells or from a mole on the skin.
research Evaluation of Animal Models Suitable for Hair Research and Regeneration
Animal models, especially mice, are essential for advancing hair loss research and treatment.
research Atrichia with papular lesions in a Taiwanese patient without hairless (HR) gene mutation
A Taiwanese patient had hair loss and skin bumps without the usual gene mutation, suggesting other genetic factors might be involved.
research Management of polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescence
Early treatment and weight management are important for teenagers with PCOS to reduce symptoms and long-term health risks.
research Quantitative analysis of the anatomical changes in the scalp and hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia using magnetic resonance imaging
MRI reveals thinner scalps and smaller hair follicles in people with androgenetic alopecia.
research Erythroid Differentiation Regulator 1 as a Novel Biomarker for Hair Loss Disorders
Erdr1 could be a new marker for diagnosing hair loss.
research Cutaneous Side Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can cause skin side effects like rashes, hair loss, and nail changes, which are usually managed with conservative treatments.
research Dealing with Loss
The document suggests simplifying alopecia diagnosis and improving techniques for better accuracy.
