research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research Iron Deficiency Anemia Pruritus: A Review with Proposed Mechanisms of Action
Iron deficiency anemia can cause itching, which often improves with iron supplements.
research Scratching the surface of skin development
The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
research Melatonin in the skin: synthesis, metabolism and functions
Melatonin in the skin helps protect against damage from stress and UV rays, and could be used to treat certain skin conditions.
research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research Indications for a brain‐hair follicle axis: inhibition of keratinocyte proliferation and up‐regulation of keratinocyte apoptosis in telogen hair follicles by stress and substance P
Stress can cause hair loss by negatively affecting hair follicles and this effect might be reversed with specific treatments.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: annotated tables
Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.
research Regeneration of hair and other skin appendages: A microenvironment‐centric view
The microenvironment, especially mechanical forces, plays a crucial role in hair growth and could lead to new treatments for hair loss.
research Hair(y) Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
research Embryology, Histology, and Physiology of the Hair Follicle
The document explains how hair follicles develop, their structure, and how they grow.
research Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
research Periorbital facial rejuvenation; applied anatomy and pre-operative assessment
Good preoperative assessment is crucial for safe and effective eyelid and brow cosmetic surgery.
research Carthami flos: a review of its ethnopharmacology, pharmacology and clinical applications
Safflower has been used in traditional medicine for centuries and shows promise in treating heart, brain, and inflammatory conditions, but more research is needed to ensure its safety.
research Plants used in cosmetics
Natural products in cosmetics are beneficial for skin and hair care with low toxicity.
research SKPs Derive from Hair Follicle Precursors and Exhibit Properties of Adult Dermal Stem Cells
SKPs are similar to adult skin stem cells and could help in skin repair and hair growth.
research The Harmonies Played by TGF-β in Stem Cell Biology
TGF-β is crucial for controlling stem cell behavior and changes in its signaling can lead to diseases like cancer.
research Estrogens and the skin
Estrogen loss during menopause worsens skin health, but hormone replacement therapy may improve it, though more research is needed.
research The Circadian Clock in Skin
The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.
research Probiotic Bacteria Induce a ‘Glow of Health’
Probiotic bacteria improved skin and hair health in aged mice.
research Epidermal β-catenin activation remodels the dermis via paracrine signalling to distinct fibroblast lineages
Epidermal β-catenin activation changes the dermis by signaling different fibroblast types.
research Complications of Rhytidectomy
Face-lifts can lead to complications like bleeding, nerve injury, skin death, hair loss, and rare infections, with careful surgery reducing risks.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Embryonic-like regenerative phenomenon: wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis
New hair can grow from large wounds in mice, but less so as they age, involving reprogramming of skin cells and specific molecular pathways.
research Hair Graying Regulators Beyond Hair Follicle
Hair graying is influenced by factors like nerves, fat cells, and immune cells, not just hair follicles.
research Perspectives and Challenges of Hair Analysis
Hair is a complex organ, and understanding its detailed structure and growth phases is crucial for analyzing substances within it.
research Knowledge, Attitude and Perceptions of the population towards Vitamin D in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
People in Jeddah know about Vitamin D and its sources but are unclear on how much they need daily, and while many women take supplements, attitudes towards increasing Vitamin D levels vary.
research Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Beard Balm
The herbal beard balm effectively nourishes and hydrates beards, reducing dryness and irritation.
research Human and animal cells under influence of different lighting and stimulus
Different light affects cell functions and can help treat skin conditions.
research Dermal niche signaling and epidermal stem cells
Skin health and repair depend on the signals between skin stem cells and their surrounding cells.
