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 Cyclooxygenases in the skin: pharmacological and toxicological implications
Blocking COX, especially COX-2, in the skin can reduce inflammation and pain and may help prevent skin cancer.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research The IL-23/IL-17 Pathway in Inflammatory Skin Diseases: From Bench to Bedside
Targeting the IL-23/IL-17 pathway effectively treats several inflammatory skin diseases.
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 Resting no more: re‐defining telogen, the maintenance stage of the hair growth cycle
The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.
research Cell death in the skin
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
research Association between Smoking and Hair Loss: Another Opportunity for Health Education against Smoking?
Smoking may contribute to hair loss in men.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
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 A review on phytochemical, ethnomedical and pharmacological studies on genus Sophora, Fabaceae
The genus Sophora has compounds with potential health benefits and could lead to new drugs, but more research is needed to understand their effects and safety.
research Costunolide—A Bioactive Sesquiterpene Lactone with Diverse Therapeutic Potential
Costunolide may have multiple health benefits, including promoting hair growth and protecting against cancer and diabetes, but more research is needed.
research Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH): a new player in human hair‐growth control
TRH stimulates human hair growth and extends the hair growth phase.
research Cyclosporin A-induced hair growth in mice is associated with inhibition of calcineurin-dependent activation of NFAT in follicular keratinocytes
Cyclosporin A helps mice grow hair by blocking a specific protein activity in skin cells.
research Disruption of the hedgehog signaling pathway contributes to the hair follicle cycling deficiency in Vdr knockout mice
Mice without Vitamin D receptors have hair growth problems because of issues in the hedgehog signaling pathway.
research Dissociated Human Dermal Papilla Cells Induce Hair Follicle Neogenesis in Grafted Dermal–Epidermal Composites
Human skin cells can create new hair follicles when transplanted into mice.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration in Skin Grafts: Current Concepts and Future Perspectives
Hair follicle regeneration in skin grafts may be possible using stem cells and tissue engineering.
research The Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Cutaneous Remodeling and Hair Follicle Dynamics
Tiny particles called extracellular vesicles could help with skin healing and hair growth, but more research is needed.
research Madarosis: A marker of many Maladies
Losing eyelashes or eyebrows can be a sign of many different health problems and needs a careful approach to treat effectively.
research Hair Regenerative Mechanisms of Red Ginseng Oil and Its Major Components in the Testosterone-Induced Delay of Anagen Entry in C57BL/6 Mice
Red ginseng oil and its components help promote hair regrowth and could treat hair loss.
research Lack of Collagen VI Promotes Wound-Induced Hair Growth
Mice without collagen VI have slower hair growth normally but faster regrowth after injury.
research Investigation of topical application of procyanidin B-2 from apple to identify its potential use as a hair growing agent
Apple-derived procyanidin B-2 can safely promote hair growth in men.
research The periosteal requirement and temporal dynamics of BMP2‐induced middle phalanx regeneration in the adult mouse
BMP2 needs periosteal tissue to help regenerate mouse middle finger bones within a specific time.
research Development of gene therapy for inner ear disease: Using bilateral vestibular hypofunction as a vehicle for translational research
Gene therapy, especially using atoh1, shows promise for creating functional sensory hair cells in the inner ear, but dosing and side effects need to be managed for clinical application.
research L ‐Carnitine–L ‐tartrate promotes human hair growth in vitro
L-Carnitine-L-tartrate may help hair grow and prevent hair loss.
research Baicalin increases hair follicle development by increasing canonical Wnt/β‑catenin signaling and activating dermal papillar cells in mice
Baicalin helps hair growth by activating specific cell signals and pathways.
research Ginsenoside F2 Reduces Hair Loss by Controlling Apoptosis through the Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein Cleavage Activating Protein and Transforming Growth Factor-β Pathways in a Dihydrotestosterone-Induced Mouse Model
