Understanding hair growth involves complex interactions between molecules and could help treat hair disorders.
research Human placental extract exerts hair growth-promoting effects through the GSK-3β signaling pathway in human dermal papilla cells
Human placental extract may help hair growth by affecting certain cell signals and could be more effective with minoxidil.
research Conditioned medium from human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells can modulate cell migration and morphology of keratinocytes in vitro
MSC-CM can boost skin cell growth and movement, aiding skin repair.
research Implanted hair-follicle-associated pluripotent (HAP) stem cells differentiating to keratinocytes, macrophages and endothelial cells accelerated cutaneous wound closure and suppressed scar formation in a mouse model
Implanted special stem cells from hair follicles helped heal wounds faster and with less scarring in mice.
research The role of integrin alphavbeta6 in impaired wound healing and hair follicle regeneration
Integrin alphavbeta6 is important for wound healing and hair growth, and blocking it may improve these processes.
research Deletion of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl 4-hydroxylase 2 in FoxD1-lineage mesenchymal cells leads to congenital truncal alopecia
Removing a specific gene in certain skin cells causes hair loss on the body by disrupting normal hair development.
research Towards Dissecting the Pathogenesis of Retinoid-Induced Hair Loss: All-Trans Retinoic Acid Induces Premature Hair Follicle Regression (Catagen) by Upregulation of Transforming Growth Factor-β2 in the Dermal Papilla
All-trans retinoic acid causes hair loss by increasing TGF-β2 in hair follicle cells.
research Neues aus der Haarforschung: Einfluss von Prolaktin, Retinoiden und Transforming Growth Factor-β auf das Haarwachstum
Prolactin and TGF-β receptor blockers might help treat hair loss.
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 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 Mechanism of action of herbs and their active constituents used in hair loss treatment
Some herbs and their components might help treat hair loss by affecting various biological pathways, but more research and regulation are needed.
research Roles of tumor suppressors in regulating tumor-associated inflammation
Tumor suppressors help control inflammation in cancer and restoring their function could lead to new treatments.
research Tuning Wnt Signals for More or Fewer Hairs
Changing Wnt signaling can lead to more or less hair growth and might help treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research Therapeutic potential of endogenous stem cells and cellular factors for scar-free skin regeneration
Using skin stem cells and certain molecules might lead to scar-free skin healing.
research Molecular Mechanisms Affecting Development of Animal Fibers and Some Studies on Goats
The article concludes that understanding the molecular processes in hair follicle development can improve the quality of fibers like Angora and cashmere.
research Hair Growth Effect of DN106212 in C57BL/6 Mouse and Its Network Pharmacological Mechanism of Action
DN106212, an extract from a plant, is better at promoting hair growth than other tested substances by affecting hair growth factors and follicle development.
research Data from Elevated Cutaneous Smad Activation Associates with Enhanced Skin Tumor Susceptibility in Organ Transplant Recipients
Higher TGF-β signaling may increase skin cancer risk in organ transplant recipients.
research Bioengineering skin using mechanisms of regeneration and repair
Artificial skin development has challenges, but new materials and understanding cell behavior could improve tissue repair. Also, certain growth factors and hydrogel technology show promise for advanced skin replacement therapies.
research Differential Expression of Fibromodulin, a Transforming Growth Factor-β Modulator, in Fetal Skin Development and Scarless Repair
Fibromodulin might help reduce scarring if increased in adult wounds like in fetal skin that heals without scars.
research Ontogenetic Transition in Fetal Wound Transforming Growth Factor-β Regulation Correlates with Collagen Organization
Fetal wound healing changes with development, affecting inflammation and collagen, which may influence scarring.
research Sericin hydrogels promote skin wound healing with effective regeneration of hair follicles and sebaceous glands after complete loss of epidermis and dermis
