TGF-β is crucial for tissue repair and can cause diseases if not properly regulated.
research Cachexia and graft-vs.-host-disease-type skin changes in keratin promoter-driven TNF alpha transgenic mice.
TNF alpha in skin cells causes weight loss, hair and fat issues, and skin inflammation in mice.
research Human Scalp Hair Follicles Are Both a Target and a Source of Prolactin, which Serves as an Autocrine and/or Paracrine Promoter of Apoptosis-Driven Hair Follicle Regression
Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.
research The Chicken Frizzle Feather Is Due to an α-Keratin (KRT75) Mutation That Causes a Defective Rachis
A mutation in the KRT75 gene causes frizzle feathers in chickens.
research Prolactin and Its Receptor Are Expressed in Murine Hair Follicle Epithelium, Show Hair Cycle-Dependent Expression, and Induce Catagen

research Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 1 in Russian Patients: Clinical Variants and Autoimmune Regulator Mutations
Genetic screening is crucial for accurately diagnosing APS-1 due to its varied symptoms.
research Hair follicles as a target structure for nanoparticles
Nanoparticles around 600-700 nm can effectively enter and stay in hair follicles for days, which may help in delivering drugs to specific cells.
research Novel TMEM173 Mutation and the Role of Disease Modifying Alleles
A new mutation in the STING protein causes a range of symptoms and its severity may be affected by other genetic variations; treatment with a specific inhibitor showed improvement in one patient.
research Apoptotic cells represent a dynamic stem cell niche governing proliferation and tissue regeneration
Dying cells can help with faster healing and new hair growth by releasing a growth-promoting molecule.
research Ulcerative colitis and total alopecia in a mother and her son
A mother and son both had ulcerative colitis and alopecia, suggesting a genetic link in autoimmune disorders and successful treatment with cyclosporine.
research Sterol Intermediates of Cholesterol Biosynthesis Inhibit Hair Growth and Trigger an Innate Immune Response in Cicatricial Alopecia
Cholesterol-related compounds can stop hair growth and cause inflammation in a type of scarring hair loss.
research Adrenal 21-hydroxylase gene mutations in Slovenian hyperandrogenic women: evaluation of corticotrophin stimulation and HLA polymorphisms in screening for carrier status
The study concluded that testing hormone levels after stimulation is not reliable for identifying carriers of 21-hydroxylase deficiency; genetic testing is necessary.
research Hair-Growth-Promoting Effect of Conditioned Medium of High Integrin α6 and Low CD 71 (α6bri/CD71dim) Positive Keratinocyte Cells
A special mix from certain skin cells can help hair grow by making hair root cells grow faster and activating growth signals.
research Effects of Egg Shell Membrane Hydrolysates on UVB-radiation-induced Wrinkle Formation in SKH-1 Hairless Mice
Egg shell membrane hydrolysates can reduce wrinkles and improve skin health.
research Humanized CXCL12 antibody delays onset and modulates immune response in alopecia areata mice: insights from single-cell RNA sequencing
A humanized CXCL12 antibody may delay and treat alopecia areata by altering the immune response.
research Effect of ethanol extract of plant mixture on hair regeneration in human dermal papilla cells and C57BL/6J mice
A plant mixture extract helped grow hair by boosting cell growth and growth factors while blocking a hair loss-related enzyme.
research Acne
Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.
research Characterization of novel TMEM173 mutation with additive IFIH1 risk allele
A new mutation in the TMEM173 gene and a risk allele in IFIH1 cause a unique set of immune-related symptoms.
research Enhancing hair regeneration: Recent progress in tailoring nano-structured lipid carriers through surface modification strategies
Surface-modified nanostructured lipid carriers can improve hair growth treatments.
research Myotonic dystrophy type 1
There is no cure for myotonic dystrophy type 1, so treatment focuses on managing symptoms and complications.
research Small Molecule Inhibitors and Inflammatory Skin Diseases
New drugs targeting the JAK-STAT pathway show promise for treating inflammatory skin diseases.
research The murine hair follicle is a melatonin target
Melatonin directly affects mouse hair follicles and may influence hair growth.
research Ultrashort peptide nanofibrous hydrogels for the acceleration of healing of burn wounds
Peptide hydrogels heal burn wounds faster and better than standard dressings.
research A New Look at the 5?-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and hair loss, but may cause side effects in some patients.
research Cell Types Promoting Goosebumps Form a Niche to Regulate Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Muscles and nerves that cause goosebumps also help control hair growth.
