research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Dermatoscopy: Alternative uses in daily clinical practice
Dermatoscopy and videodermatoscopy are useful for diagnosing and monitoring various skin, hair, and nail conditions.
research Androgen Signaling Regulates SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Levels and Is Associated with Severe COVID-19 Symptoms in Men
Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Physicochemical properties of pH-sensitive hydrogels based on hydroxyethyl cellulose–hyaluronic acid and for applications as transdermal delivery systems for skin lesions
The hydrogel with a 1:3 ratio of hydroxyethyl cellulose to hyaluronic acid is effective for delivering drugs through the skin to treat acne.
research Deep Insight of Design, Mechanism, and Cancer Theranostic Strategy of Nanozymes
Nanozymes show promise for effective and safe cancer treatment.
research Quantitative Single-Cell Approaches to Stem Cell Research
New single-cell analysis techniques are improving our understanding of stem cells and could help in treating diseases.
research Control of hair follicle cell fate by underlying mesenchyme through a CSL–Wnt5a–FoxN1 regulatory axis
Notch/CSL signaling controls hair follicle differentiation through Wnt5a and FoxN1.
research Regulated Proenkephalin Expression in Human Skin and Cultured Skin Cells
Human skin cells produce proenkephalin, which changes with environmental factors and skin diseases.
research Wnt signaling in skin organogenesis
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin and hair development and its disruption can cause skin tumors.
research Scalp Dermoscopy or Trichoscopy
Trichoscopy is a quick, noninvasive method to diagnose hair and scalp disorders, often reducing the need for biopsies.

New LPA receptors (LPA4, LPA5, LPA6) have diverse roles in the body.
research Specific receptor detection by a functional keratinocyte growth factor-immunoglobulin chimera.
A new protein was made to detect specific skin cell growth receptors and worked in normal skin but not in skin cancer cells.
research What should it take to describe a substance or product as 'sperm-safe'
Products should be called 'sperm-safe' only after thorough, well-designed tests.
research Gene Expression During Drosophila Wing Morphogenesis and Differentiation
Key genes are crucial for Drosophila wing development and could be insecticide targets.
research Intravital imaging of hair follicle regeneration in the mouse
Two-photon microscopy helps observe hair follicle stem cell behaviors in mice.
research Functional enhancement strategies for immunomodulation of mesenchymal stem cells and their therapeutic application
New methods to improve the healing abilities of mesenchymal stem cells for disease treatment are promising but need more research.
research Dupilumab: A Review of Present Indications and Off-Label Uses
Dupilumab is being tested for many new skin, respiratory, and gastrointestinal conditions.
research Microneedle-Based Approaches for Skin Disease Treatment
Microneedles offer a promising, painless way to treat skin diseases but need improvements for better use.
research Phosphatidic Acid Has a Potential to Promote Hair Growth In Vitro and In Vivo, and Activates Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase/Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Kinase in Hair Epithelial Cells
Phosphatidic acid may help hair grow by affecting cell growth pathways.
research Analysis of structural changes in permanent waved human hair using Raman spectroscopy
Permanent waving weakens hair by altering its protein structure.

Different ethnicities and treatments affect human hair strength and structure.
research No Evidence that 2D:4D is Related to the Number of CAG Repeats in the Androgen Receptor Gene
Finger length ratios are not linked to the number of specific gene repeats affecting testosterone sensitivity.
research Hair greying is associated with active hair growth
White hair grows thicker and faster than black hair due to higher activity of growth-related genes and proteins.
research Circulatory Changes in Alopecia
The document suggests that the traditional understanding of hair growth cycles and alopecia may be inaccurate and that blood supply plays a significant role in hair growth and loss.
