research Loss-of-function mutations of an inhibitory upstream ORF in the human hairless transcript cause Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis
Certain mutations in a hair growth-related gene cause a type of genetic hair loss.
research Fortnightly review: Male pattern androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss in men is common, treatable, but not curable.
research Bone Morphogenetic Proteins and Their Antagonists in Skin and Hair Follicle Biology
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) help control skin health, hair growth, and color, and could potentially be used to treat skin and hair disorders.
research A Hot New Twist to Hair Biology
Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, can slow down hair growth by affecting skin cells and hair follicles.
research Diverse mechanisms for endogenous regeneration and repair in mammalian organs
Mammalian organs regenerate using stem cells and cell plasticity, but this ability declines with age.
research Dihydrotestosterone-Inducible Dickkopf 1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Causes Apoptosis in Follicular Keratinocytes
A substance called DKK-1 increases in balding areas and causes hair cells to die when exposed to DHT.
research Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: Current Status of Pathogenesis
The document concludes that the exact way alcohol causes harm to fetal development is unknown, but it significantly affects nutrient transport to the fetus and a safe level of alcohol during pregnancy is not determined.
research Wound Healing and the Use of Medicinal Plants
