New methods have greatly improved our understanding of stem cell behavior and roles in the body.
research A Review: The Location, Molecular Characterisation and Multipotency of Hair Follicle Epidermal Stem Cells
Hair follicle stem cells are mainly in the bulge region and can help repair skin and form hair and glands, but more research is needed to fully understand them.
research Topical liposome delivery of molecules to hair follicles in mice
Liposomes can safely and effectively deliver substances to mouse hair follicles, potentially useful for human hair treatments.
research Estrogens and Human Scalp Hair Growth—Still More Questions than Answers
The effects of estrogen on human hair growth are unclear and need more research.
research Dormancy in the stem cell niche
Some stem cells in the body rarely divide, which could help create better treatments for diseases and aging.
research Adenosine stimulates growth of dermal papilla and lengthens the anagen phase by increasing the cysteine level via fibroblast growth factors 2 and 7 in an organ culture of mouse vibrissae hair follicles
Adenosine helps hair grow longer and stronger by boosting certain growth factors and signaling pathways.
research Minoxidil specifically decreases the expression of lysine hydroxylase in cultured human skin fibroblasts
Minoxidil reduces lysine hydroxylase in skin cells.
research A Topical Parathyroid Hormone/Parathyroid Hormone-Related Peptide Receptor Antagonist Stimulates Hair Growth in Mice
A cream with a specific hormone blocker increases hair growth in mice.
research Minoxidil
Minoxidil effectively treats hair loss, works better for women, and requires consistent use.
research Selective inhibition by minoxidil of prostacyclin production by cells in culture
Minoxidil stops cells from making prostacyclin, which may help with hair growth. More research is needed.
research High incidence of severe hand–foot syndrome during capecitabine–docetaxel combination chemotherapy
About half the patients treated with capecitabine and docetaxel developed severe hand-foot syndrome.
research Evidence that mirex promotes a unique population of epidermal cells that cannot be distinguished by their mutant Ha-ras genotype
Mirex seems to promote a unique group of skin cells different from those affected by another tumor promoter, TPA.
research Targeted elimination of the follicular label-retaining cells by photo-induced cell killing caused a defect on follicular renewal on mice
Killing specific cells in hair follicles can lead to hair growth problems in mice.
research Secretory phospholipase A2-IIA overexpressing mice exhibit cyclic alopecia mediated through aberrant hair shaft differentiation and impaired wound healing response
Mice with too much sPLA₂-IIA have hair loss and poor wound healing due to abnormal hair growth and stem cell depletion.
research Transcriptional Control of Epidermal Stem Cells
Certain transcription factors are key in controlling skin stem cell behavior and could impact future treatments for skin repair and hair loss.
research Impaired responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to T-cell stimulants in alopecia areata patients with a poor response to topical immunotherapy
Poor response to topical immunotherapy in alopecia areata patients is linked to impaired cell responses.
research Stem Cells in the Hair Follicle and Interfollicular Epidermis of Mice following Topical Application of Fluocinolone Acetonide
Fluocinolone acetonide slows down hair follicle stem cells but speeds up skin cell growth in mice.
research A RARE CASE OF CHRONIC ACRODERMATITIS ENTEROPATHICA PERSISTING AND RECURRING IN THE ADULT AGE
Chronic Acrodermatitis Enteropathica can persist into adulthood and requires careful zinc treatment.
research 5-Bromo-2′-deoxyuridine induced effluvium via p53-mediated CD326-positive keratinocyte apoptosis in C57BL/6 mice
A chemical called 5-Bromo-2′-deoxyuridine caused rapid hair loss in mice by killing certain skin cells through a specific cell death pathway.
