research Pressure alopecia from orthodontic headgear
Wearing orthodontic headgear can cause reversible hair loss if detected early.
research Curly hair: measured differences and contributions to breakage
Curly hair breaks more easily, especially with chemical treatments, but simpler grooming reduces breakage.
research Enrichment and Characterization of Human Dermal Stem/Progenitor Cells by Intracellular Granularity
Scientists identified a unique type of human skin stem cell that could help with tissue repair.
research Diseases that turn African hair silky
Certain diseases like AIDS and lupus can make African hair become silky.
research Light Microscopic Hair Abnormalities in Children: Retrospective Review of 119 Cases in a 10-Year Period
Over half of the children had abnormal hair under a microscope, with many having genetic hair conditions.
research RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN ALOPECIAS
Recent hair loss research shows some progress, especially in understanding male pattern baldness, but effective treatments for many types of hair loss are still lacking.
research Variation and Heritability in Hair Diameter and Curvature in an Australian Twin Sample
Hair diameter and curvature are mostly determined by genetics.
research Dermoscopic Approach to Nonscarring Alopecia
Dermoscopy is useful for identifying and tracking different types of hair loss without scarring.
research DERMOSCOPIC FEATURES IN CICATRICIAL AND NON CICATRICIAL ALOPECIA
Dermoscopy helps diagnose different types of hair loss and may reduce the need for biopsies.
research Plica polonica: Trichoscopic findings with a brief literature review
Plica polonica is a rare condition where hair becomes irreversibly tangled, and the treatment is to cut the matted hair.
research Clinical Snippets
New treatments for hair growth and psoriasis may be possible, and gene differences could affect baldness and the severity of skin conditions.
research Clinical Snippets
R-spondin2 may help treat hair loss, gene differences could explain baldness, a peptide's regulation is linked to psoriasis, B-defensin gene copies may affect a skin condition's risk and severity, and potential markers and targets for alopecia areata were identified.
research Nucleation and growth of macrofibrils in trichocyte (hard-α) keratins
Sheet formation is key to macrofibril structure differences in wool.
research Traction Alopecia Due to Traditional Hair Styles
Tight traditional hairstyles can cause hair loss.
research Steroid Sulfatase: Molecular Biology, Regulation, and Inhibition
The enzyme steroid sulfatase is linked to breast cancer and other conditions, and inhibitors are being developed for treatment.
research Phenotypic Plasticity: Driver of Cancer Initiation, Progression, and Therapy Resistance
Understanding phenotypic plasticity is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies.
research Single-cell analysis reveals fibroblast heterogeneity and myeloid-derived adipocyte progenitors in murine skin wounds
The research found that different types of fibroblasts are involved in wound healing and that some blood cells can turn into fat cells during this process.
research Biology of the Hair Follicle: The Basics
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle biology can lead to better hair loss treatments.
research More than one way to skin . . .
Skin stem cells help repair damage and maintain healthy skin.
research Dermal β-catenin activity in response to epidermal Wnt ligands is required for fibroblast proliferation and hair follicle initiation
Skin needs dermal β-catenin activity for hair growth and skin cell multiplication.
research Cell-Type-Specific Chromatin States Differentially Prime Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tumor-Initiating Cells for Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
Different types of skin cells have unique genetic markers that affect how likely they are to spread cancer.
research Cost-effectiveness of palliative chemotherapy in advanced gastrointestinal cancer
Palliative chemotherapy is cost-effective for advanced gastric and colorectal cancer but not clearly for pancreatic-biliary cancer.
research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in cutaneous wound healing: Where we are and where we are heading
The document concludes that a better understanding of cell changes during wound healing could improve treatments for chronic wounds and other conditions.
research Feather arrays are patterned by interacting signalling and cell density waves
Feather patterns in birds are shaped by signaling interactions and cell movements, with EDA/EDAR crucial for pattern formation.
research Tregs: Where We Are and What Comes Next?
The conclusion is that Treg-targeted therapies have potential, but more knowledge of Treg biology is needed for effective treatments, including for cancer.
research Stretching the limits: from homeostasis to stem cell plasticity in wound healing and cancer
Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
research TRP Channels in Skin Biology and Pathophysiology
TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.
research Potassium channel openers: pharmacological and clinical aspects
Potassium channel openers could help treat cardiovascular diseases and asthma but require better targeting to specific tissues for effective use.
