research In silico prediction of prostaglandin D2 synthase inhibitors from herbal constituents for the treatment of hair loss
Herbal compounds like ricinoleic acid, quercetin-3-O-rutinoside, and hinokiflavone may be safe and effective for treating hair loss.
research Gata6 promotes hair follicle progenitor cell renewal by genome maintenance during proliferation
Gata6 is important for protecting hair growth cells from DNA damage and keeping normal hair growth.
research Responses of hair follicle–associated structures to loss of planar cell polarity signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research Finasteride Treatment of Hair Loss in Women
Finasteride may help some women with hair loss, but better options exist.
research Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing of goat skins identifies signatures associated with hair cycling
DNA methylation changes are linked to hair growth cycles in goats.
research Hairless Modulates Ligand-Dependent Activation of the Vitamin D Receptor-Retinoid X Receptor Heterodimer
Hairless protein can both repress and activate vitamin D receptor functions, affecting gene regulation.
research Smad4-dependent desmoglein-4 expression contributes to hair follicle integrity
Smad4 is important for healthy hair follicles because it helps produce a protein needed for hair to stick together and grow.
research Investigation of the topical application of procyanidin oligomers from apples to identify their potential use as a hair‐growing agent
Apple procyanidin applied to the scalp may help grow hair without side effects.
research Micro-segmental hair analysis: detailed procedures and applications in forensic toxicology
Micro-segmental hair analysis helps detect drug use patterns and estimate drug consumption days.
research Immune cell regulation of the hair cycle
Immune cells affect hair growth and could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research In situ labeling of DNA reveals interindividual variation in nuclear DNA breakdown in hair and may be useful to predict success of forensic genotyping of hair
In situ DNA labeling in hair can help predict forensic DNA analysis success.
research Stem Cell-Based Hair Cell Regeneration and Therapy in the Inner Ear
Stem cell therapy could help regenerate inner ear hair cells to treat hearing loss.
research A role for the Tgf-β/Bmp co-receptor Endoglin in the molecular oscillator that regulates the hair follicle cycle
Endoglin is crucial for proper hair growth cycles and stem cell activation in mice.
research Skin-permeable liposome improved stability and permeability of bFGF against skin of mice with deep second degree scald to promote hair follicle neogenesis through inhibition of scar formation
A new liposome treatment helps heal deep burns on mice by improving hair regrowth and reducing scarring.
research Valproic acid reduces hair loss and improves survival in patients receiving temozolomide-based radiation therapy for high-grade glioma
Valproic acid helps delay hair loss and increases survival time for high-grade glioma patients undergoing radiation therapy.
research Comparative study on seasonal hair follicle cycling by analysis of the transcriptomes from cashmere and milk goats
Cashmere and milk goats have different hair growth cycles and gene expressions, which could help improve wool production.
research Integrative Analysis of Methylome and Transcriptome Reveals the Regulatory Mechanisms of Hair Follicle Morphogenesis in Cashmere Goat
DNA methylation and long non-coding RNAs are key in controlling hair growth in Cashmere goats.
research Biallelic HEPHL1 variants impair ferroxidase activity and cause an abnormal hair phenotype
Mutations in the HEPHL1 gene cause abnormal hair and cognitive issues.
research Dihydrotestosterone-induced hair regrowth inhibition by activating androgen receptor in C57BL6 mice simulates androgenetic alopecia
DHT stops hair regrowth in mice, similar to human hair loss.
research Multifunctional Merkel cells: Their roles in electromagnetic reception, finger-print formation, Reiki, epigenetic inheritance and hair form
Merkel cells may have roles in sensing magnetic fields, creating fingerprints, Reiki energy healing, passing on environmental information to offspring, and influencing hair shape.
research Use of Hair Products Containing Hormone or Placenta by US Military Personnel
About 15% of US Army personnel use hair products containing hormone or placenta, with higher usage among non-whites, females, and enlisted personnel.
research Complications of hair restoration surgery: A retrospective analysis
Hair restoration surgery can lead to swelling, infections, scarring, numbness, hiccups, and poor hair growth.
research Iron deficiency and hair loss: The jury is still out
More research is needed to determine if iron deficiency causes hair loss.
research The Follicular Automaton Model: Effect of Stochasticity and of Synchronization of Hair Cycles
The model showed that randomness accurately describes individual hair growth cycles and that synchronization can cause large fluctuations not seen in humans.
research Review of oral minoxidil as treatment of hair disorders: in search of the perfect dose
Oral minoxidil effectively treats hair loss, with women needing lower doses (0.25 to 2.5 mg daily) and men needing higher doses (1.25 to 5 mg daily).
research Hair growth control by innate immunocytes: Perifollicular macrophages revisited
Immune cells around hair follicles help control hair growth and could be targets for treating hair disorders.
research Interventions for female pattern hair loss
Topical minoxidil helps treat female pattern hair loss, but more research needed for other treatments.
research Hair transplantation surgery
Hair transplantation surgery has improved, giving more natural results, and success depends on a skilled team and proper technique.
