research Chronic Treatment with Minoxidil Induces Elastic Fiber Neosynthesis and Functional Improvement in the Aorta of Aged Mice
Minoxidil treatment increases aorta elasticity and reduces stiffness in aged mice, potentially helping with age-related heart issues.
research Synchronously developing collet hairs in Arabidopsis thaliana provide an easily accessible system for studying nuclear movement and endoreduplication
Arabidopsis collet hairs are good for studying nuclear movement and DNA content increase during growth.
research Transcriptomic regulation of seasonal coat color change in hares
Genes related to pigmentation, body rhythms, and behavior change during hares' seasonal coat color transition, with a common genetic mechanism in two hare species.
research Expression patterns of the glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor, neurturin, their cognate receptors GFRα-1, GFRα-2, and a common signal transduction element c-Ret in the human skin hair follicles
Certain proteins and their receptors are more active during the growth phase of human hair and could be targeted to treat hair disorders.
research Osteopontin Gene is Expressed in the Dermal Papilla of Pelage Follicles in a Hair-Cycle-Dependent Manner
The osteopontin gene is active in a specific part of rat hair follicles during a certain hair growth phase and might affect hair cycle and diseases.
research Pigmented Casts
Pigmented casts are common in several hair loss conditions and can help diagnose specific types of alopecia.
research Does tachyphylaxis occur in long‐term management of scalp seborrheic dermatitis with pyrithione zinc‐based treatments?
Long-term use of pyrithione zinc shampoos remains effective for scalp seborrheic dermatitis, with decreased effectiveness likely due to not following treatment instructions rather than the treatment itself.
research Hair follicles and their role in skin health
Hair follicles are essential for skin health, aiding in hair growth, wound healing, and immune function.
research Iontophoretic Transdermal Delivery of Finasteride in Vesicular Invasomal Carriers
Finasteride delivery through skin improved using invasomes and iontophoresis.
