research The Human Skin Microbiome in Selected Cutaneous Diseases
Changes in skin microbes play a role in some skin diseases and could lead to new treatments.
research Hormonal treatment of acne vulgaris: an update
Hormonal treatments are effective for severe or persistent acne and should be used with other acne therapies, considering potential side effects.
research Biology of Hair Growth
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.
research Primary cicatricial alopecia: Recent advances in understanding and management
New understanding of the causes of primary cicatricial alopecia has led to better diagnosis and potential new treatments.
research Hair cycle control by leptin as a new anagen inducer
Leptin, a hormone, is important for starting hair growth.
research Aging in hair follicle stem cells and niche microenvironment
Aging in hair follicle stem cells leads to hair graying, thinning, and loss.
research The hair cycle and its regulation
Hormones, nutrition, and seasonal changes regulate hair growth cycles, with androgens extending growth phases and factors like aging and malnutrition affecting hair loss and thinning.
research Skin: Basic Structure and Function
The skin is a complex barrier that protects the body, regulates temperature, and helps with immune responses.
research Destruction of the arrector pili muscle and fat infiltration in androgenic alopecia
Hair loss in male pattern baldness involves muscle degeneration and increased scalp fat.
research A review of adipocyte lineage cells and dermal papilla cells in hair follicle regeneration
Cell-based therapies using dermal papilla cells and adipocyte lineage cells show potential for hair regeneration.
research Madarosis
Madarosis is the loss of eyelashes and eyebrows due to various health issues and requires thorough examination to diagnose and treat the underlying cause.
research The lack of significant changes in scalp hair follicle density with advancing age
Aging alone barely affects the number of hair follicles, meaning hair loss is minimal without other conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
research Lack of Collagen VI Promotes Wound-Induced Hair Growth
Mice without collagen VI have slower hair growth normally but faster regrowth after injury.
research Epidermal Polarity Genes in Health and Disease
Disruptions in epidermal polarity genes can lead to skin diseases.
research Beyond goosebumps: Does the arrector pili muscle have a role in hair loss?
The arrector pili muscle might play a role in hair loss and needs more research to understand its impact.
research ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Finasteride and minoxidil are effective FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
research Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies novel loci conferring risk of acne vulgaris
New genetic factors linked to acne risk were discovered, highlighting the role of certain pathways and genes.
research Through the lens of hair follicle neogenesis, a new focus on mechanisms of skin regeneration after wounding
Hair can regrow in large wounds through a process similar to how hair forms in embryos, and understanding this could lead to new treatments for hair loss or scarring.
research 12 Treatment of hirsutism with 5α-reductase inhibitors
New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.
research Harnessing neuroendocrine controls of keratin expression: A new therapeutic strategy for skin diseases?
Using neurohormones to control keratin can lead to new skin disease treatments.
research Pregnancy and Skin
Most skin changes during pregnancy are harmless and temporary, but some can risk the fetus and need careful treatment.
research The hair follicle enigma
The document concludes that understanding hair follicles requires more research using computational methods and an integrative approach, considering the current limitations in hair treatment products.
research HORMONAL THERAPY IN DERMATOLOGY
Hormonal therapy is a treatment option for acne, the only medical treatment for hirsutism, and the most promising for androgenetic alopecia.
research Immunology of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata, a type of hair loss, is likely an autoimmune disease with a genetic link, but its exact cause is still unknown.
research Multi‐tasking epidermal stem cells: Beyond epidermal maintenance
Epidermal stem cells have various roles in skin beyond just maintenance, including forming specialized structures and aiding in skin repair and regeneration.
research The Effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Chitosan Gel on Full Thickness Skin Wound Healing in Albino Rats: Histological, Immunohistochemical and Fluorescent Study
Mesenchymal stem cells, especially injected into the skin, heal wounds faster and better than chitosan gel or other treatments.
research Managing Cutaneous Manifestations of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Birth control pills help treat skin and hair growth problems linked to high male hormone levels.
research Alopecia: unapproved treatments or indications
Many treatments for hair loss lack proper testing and FDA approval, so their effectiveness is uncertain.
research Ovarian morphology and prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome in reproductive aged women with or without mild acne
Women with mild acne are more likely to have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) than those without acne.
