research Enhanced ectodysplasin-A receptor (EDAR) signaling alters multiple fiber characteristics to produce the East Asian hair form
A genetic change in the EDAR gene causes the unique hair traits found in East Asians.
research Human hair follicle: reservoir function and selective targeting
The human hair follicle can store topical compounds and be targeted for drug delivery with minimal side effects.
research Markers of Epidermal Stem Cell Subpopulations in Adult Mammalian Skin
The document concludes that adult mammalian skin contains multiple stem cell populations with specific markers, important for understanding skin regeneration and related conditions.
research Delivery and targeting of nanoparticles into hair follicles
Nanoparticles can improve skin treatments by better targeting hair follicles, but more research is needed for advancement.
research Topical application of Polygonum multiflorum extract induces hair growth of resting hair follicles through upregulating Shh and β-catenin expression in C57BL/6 mice
Polygonum multiflorum extract helps grow hair by activating certain hair growth signals in mice.
research Inhibition of β-catenin signalling in dermal fibroblasts enhances hair follicle regeneration during wound healing
Blocking β-catenin in skin cells improves hair growth during wound healing.
research Epidermal Development in Mammals: Key Regulators, Signals from Beneath, and Stem Cells
Skin development in mammals is controlled by key proteins and signals from underlying cells, involving stem cells for maintenance and repair.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Epithelial Differentiation and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition
The TGF-β family helps control how cells change and move, affecting skin, hair, and organ development.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research Skin ageing
After menopause, women lose a lot of skin collagen, but estrogen replacement might improve skin health.
research Human Hair Follicle Regeneration Following Amputation and Grafting into the Nude Mouse
Human hair follicles can regenerate after removal, but with low success rate.
research The role of nuclear hormone receptors in cutaneous wound repair
Nuclear hormone receptors play a significant role in skin wound healing and could lead to better treatment methods.
research Stress-related skin disorders
Stress can worsen skin conditions by affecting hormone levels and immune response.
research Targeted Skin Overexpression of the Mineralocorticoid Receptor in Mice Causes Epidermal Atrophy, Premature Skin Barrier Formation, Eye Abnormalities, and Alopecia
Overexpressing the mineralocorticoid receptor in mouse skin causes skin thinning, early skin barrier development, eye issues, and hair loss.
research The efficacy and safety of 5α-reductase inhibitors in androgenetic alopecia: a network meta-analysis and benefit–risk assessment of finasteride and dutasteride
Finasteride and dutasteride effectively treat hair loss, but may cause side effects like sexual dysfunction and depression.
research Hidradenitis suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa treatment should be tailored to the individual, with quitting smoking being important.
research Fibroblast Growth Factors Stimulate Hair Growth throughβ-Catenin and Shh Expression in C57BL/6 Mice
Certain growth factors can promote hair growth in mice by activating hair growth-related proteins.
research The control of hair growth: An overview
Hair growth is influenced by interactions between skin layers, growth factors, and hormones, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
research Role of -catenin in Epidermal Stem Cell Expansion, Lineage Selection, and Cancer
Beta-catenin is crucial for skin cell growth, development, and cancer formation.
research The Role of Smads in Skin Development
Smad-4 and Smad-7 are key in hair follicle development, with other Smads being less important.
research Penetration and distribution of three lipophilic probes in vitro in human skin focusing on the hair follicle
Medium lipophilic substances penetrate skin best, and adding ethanol can increase delivery to hair follicles.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research The Ludwig pattern of androgenetic alopecia is due to a hierarchy of androgen sensitivity within follicular units that leads to selective miniaturization and a reduction in the number of terminal hairs per follicular unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss in women results from varying sensitivity in hair follicles, causing fewer visible hairs.
research Types of Hair Loss and Treatment Options, Including the Novel Low-Level Light Therapy and Its Proposed Mechanism
Hair loss treatments include medications and new methods like low-level light therapy, which may work by boosting cell activity and blood flow.
research Activin B Promotes BMSC-Mediated Cutaneous Wound Healing by Regulating Cell Migration via the JNK—ERK Signaling Pathway
Activin B improves wound healing and hair growth by helping stem cells move using certain cell signals.
research The effect of menopause on the skin and other connective tissues
Menopause significantly reduces skin collagen, leading to thinner, less elastic skin, and hormone replacement may help but requires careful consideration.
research To grow or not to grow: Hair morphogenesis and human genetic hair disorders
Genetic mutations can cause hair growth disorders by affecting key genes and signaling pathways.
research Hidradenitis suppurativa/Acne inversa: an endocrine skin disorder?
Hidradenitis suppurativa may be related to hormones and patients often have metabolic disorders; more research is needed to understand this connection.
research Does prolactin play a role in skin biology and pathology?
Prolactin may be important for skin growth and immune function.
