research Abstracts from the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Society for Pediatric Dermatology
UVB is good for a skin condition in Asian kids, a lotion works for head lice, a drug helps with a skin blistering disorder, a foam reduces itchiness in skin inflammation, birthmarks can be more widespread, and criteria for a neurocutaneous disorder were agreed upon.
research Abstracts Presented at the 12th Joint Meeting of the International Society of Dermatopathology, March 4-5, 2009, Marines Memorial Club & Hotel, San Francisco, CA, USA
Mast cells play a significant role in hair loss conditions like male pattern hair loss and alopecia areata.
research The in vitro plasticity of hair follicle dermal and mesenchymal stem cells
Hair follicle stem cells are similar to mesenchymal stem cells and can become neural-like cells under certain conditions.
research British Society for Dermatopathology: Summaries of Papers
Some skin conditions are associated with other serious diseases, and office microscopy may miss many fungal infections.
research Correspondence
A man's skin cancer improved and some of his hair grew back after treatment with a special light therapy and a medication.
research Drug Treatment of Acute Leukaemia Current Status
Treatments for acute leukaemia lead to high remission rates, but relapses occur, requiring ongoing advancements in care.
research Mechanistic synergy of hair growth promotion by the Avicennia marina extract and its active constituent (avicequinone C) in dermal papilla cells isolated from androgenic alopecia patients
Avicennia marina extract and avicequinone C can potentially promote hair growth and treat hair loss by interfering with hair loss mechanisms and boosting growth factors.
research Blood pressure levels in women with androgenetic alopecia
Women with androgenetic alopecia may have higher blood pressure levels.
research Oral cyclosporin does not arrest progression of androgenetic alopecia
Cyclosporin doesn't stop hair loss.
research Three-dimensional architecture of macrofibrils in the human scalp hair cortex
Human hair has a complex, variable structure with a consistent matrix and double-twist pattern.
research De novo filament formation by human hair keratins K85 and K35 follows a filament development pattern distinct from cytokeratin filament networks
Human hair keratins K85 and K35 create unique filament patterns important for early hair formation.
research Intrinsic curvature in wool fibres is determined by the relative length of orthocortical and paracortical cells
Wool fibre curvature is due to longer orthocortical cells compared to paracortical cells.
research Spatial and Temporal Coordination of Force-generating Actin-based Modules Drives Membrane RemodelingIn Vivo
Actin filaments help stabilize and integrate cell membranes during transfer.
research Natural Asymmetry in Hair Growth Direction: Implications for Hairline Design in Male Patients
Natural hairline asymmetry should be embraced for better-looking hair transplants.
research Midline Convergence: Nature’s Way to Maximize the Appearance of Midline Density
Nature uses midline convergence to make the center of something look denser or thicker.
research A PAX1 enhancer locus is associated with susceptibility to idiopathic scoliosis in females
A genetic region near the PAX1 gene is linked to a higher risk of scoliosis in females.
research Bidirectional binding property of high glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated protein contributes to the mechanical strength and shape of hair
High glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated proteins help make hair strong and maintain its shape.
research Nuclear Topology, Epigenetics, and Keratinocyte Differentiation
Nuclear shape and chromatin changes affect gene expression in skin cell differentiation.
research Pathogenesis in pili torti: morphological study
Pili torti hair twists due to uneven outer root sheath cell development.
research Insights on the mechanical behavior of keratin fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research Investigating the internal structure of sheep wool hair fibre using new microscopic techniques
Curly wool has more orthocortex than straight wool.
research Polarized microscopy in genetic hair disorders: case series
Polarized microscopy helps identify hair irregularities in genetic disorders.
research Androgens and Cardiovascular Disease
Male hormones may play a role in the development of heart disease, and more research is needed to understand their effects.
research A randomized clinical trial of 5% topical minoxidil versus 2% topical minoxidil and placebo in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men
5% minoxidil works better for hair growth and density, with minor irritation.
research Comparative regenerative mechanisms across different mammalian tissues
Understanding different species' regeneration can improve mammalian healing.
research A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 5% and 2% topical minoxidil solutions in the treatment of female pattern hair loss
5% and 2% minoxidil solutions effectively promote hair growth and reduce hair loss, with 5% being slightly more effective but having more side effects.
research Evaluation and treatment of male and female pattern hair loss
Early diagnosis and treatment, using finasteride, minoxidil, or hair transplantation, improves hair loss outcomes.
research Cutaneous adverse effects of targeted therapies
Targeted cancer therapies often cause serious skin problems that need careful management.
research Human hair follicle organ culture: theory, application and perspectives
