research Hair anatomy for the clinician
Understanding hair follicle anatomy helps diagnose hair disorders.
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 Drug-Induced Skin, Nail and Hair Disorders
Some drugs can cause skin, nail, and hair problems, which are important for healthcare professionals to recognize and report.
research Management of primary cicatricial alopecias: options for treatment
There are many treatments for permanent hair loss disorders, but their effectiveness varies and there's no clear best option.
research Characterization of a Cluster of Human High/Ultrahigh Sulfur Keratin-associated Protein Genes Embedded in the Type I Keratin Gene Domain on Chromosome 17q12-21
A cluster of sulfur-rich hair protein genes was found on chromosome 17.
research Ozone interactions with human hair: Ozone uptake rates and product formation
Ozone reacts more with unwashed hair, producing compounds due to scalp oils, which could lower ozone exposure but increase exposure to reaction products.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.
research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Are Associated with Monilethrix-like Congenital Hypotrichosis
Mutations in the DSG4 gene can cause a rare hair disorder similar to monilethrix.
research β-Catenin Signaling Increases in Proliferating NG2+ Progenitors and Astrocytes during Post-Traumatic Gliogenesis in the Adult Brain
β-Catenin signaling is involved in brain cell growth after injury and could be a therapy target.
research Epidermal stem cells: practical perspectives and potential uses
Epidermal stem cells could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
research The effects of minoxidil, 1% pyrithione zinc and a combination of both on hair density: a randomized controlled trial
Minoxidil and pyrithione zinc combo most effectively increases hair density.
research Targeted Expression of Human Vitamin D Receptor in the Skin Promotes the Initiation of the Postnatal Hair Follicle Cycle and Rescues the Alopecia in Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Vitamin D receptor is crucial for starting hair growth after birth.
research Stem cell markers (cytokeratin 15, CD34 and nestin) in primary scarring and nonscarring alopecia
Scarring alopecia affects different hair follicle stem cells than nonscarring alopecia, and the infundibular region could be a new treatment target.
research Trichohyalin: Presence in the Granular Layer and Stratum Corneum of Normal Human Epidermis
Trichohyalin is also found in the outer layers of normal human skin.
research Localization of Minoxidil Sulfotransferase in Rat Liver and the Outer Root Sheath of Anagen Pelage and Vibrissa Follicles
Minoxidil works in liver and outer hair root sheath for hair growth.
research GABAAreceptor modulation by neurosteroids in models of temporal lobe epilepsies
Neurosteroids change how GABA_A receptors work in the brain, which could be important for treating temporal lobe epilepsy.
research Gene Expression of Mouse S100A3, a Cysteine-Rich Calcium-Binding Protein, in Developing Hair Follicle
S100A3 protein is crucial for hair shaft formation in mice.
research Deciphering the functions of the hair follicle infundibulum in skin physiology and disease
The hair follicle infundibulum plays a key role in skin health and disease, and understanding it better could lead to new skin disease treatments.
research Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research Evidence for various calcium sites in human hair shaft revealed by sub-micrometer X-ray fluorescence
The research found two types of calcium in human hair, one that varies among individuals and another that is consistent across people.
research What does acne genetics teach us about disease pathogenesis?
Acne is significantly influenced by genetics, and understanding its genetic basis could lead to better, targeted treatments.

Minoxidil 2% effectively treats Monilethrix without side effects.
research Hyperadrenocorticism (Hyperadrenocorticoidism, Hyperadrenocorticalism, Cushing’s Disease, Cushing’s Syndrome)
Treatment can improve survival and symptoms in dogs with Cushing's disease, but outcomes are unpredictable.
research Activation of the OVOL1-OVOL2 Axis in the Hair Bulb and in Pilomatricoma
The genes OVOL1 and OVOL2 are important for hair growth and may be involved in a type of skin tumor.
research Enhancing hair follicle regeneration by nonablative fractional laser: Assessment of irradiation parameters and tissue response
Using a fractional laser can stimulate hair growth, but the intensity and duration of inflammation are crucial. Too much can cause ulcers and scarring. Lower beam energy and fewer treatments are recommended to avoid damage.
