research New Pharmaceutical Concepts for Sebaceous Gland Diseases: Implementing Today’s Pre-Clinical Data into Tomorrow’s Daily Clinical Practice
New treatments for skin conditions related to the sebaceous gland are being developed based on current research.
research Alteration of Skin Wound Healing in Keratinocyte-Specific Mediator Complex Subunit 1 Null Mice
MED1 affects skin wound healing differently in young and old mice.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Towards a molecular understanding of hair loss and its treatment
Future hair loss treatments should aim to extend hair growth, reactivate resting follicles, reverse shrinkage, and possibly create new follicles, with gene therapy showing promise.
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 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 Clinical and biological impact of the exposome on the skin
Environmental factors, hormones, nutrition, and stress all significantly affect skin health and aging.
research Skin aging: are adipocytes the next target?
Targeting dermal adipocytes may help combat skin aging.
research Endogenous retinoids in the hair follicle and sebaceous gland
Maintaining the right amount of retinoic acid is crucial for healthy hair and skin.

research New drug targets and research methods for androgenetic alopecia
The document concludes that more research is needed to create specific drugs for treating male pattern baldness.
research Pathomechanism of androgenetic alopecia and new treatment
Male pattern baldness is caused by certain cells in hair follicles and could potentially be treated by targeting a specific growth factor, TGF-β1.
research Hairless: A nuclear receptor corepressor essential for skin function
The Hairless gene is crucial for healthy skin and hair growth.
research Mechanisms of Action of Dehydroepiandrosterone
DHEA affects various tissues by interacting with multiple receptors and can be converted into sex hormones.
research Roles of MED1 in Quiescence of Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Maintenance of Normal Hair Cycling
MED1 is essential for normal hair growth and maintaining hair follicle stem cells.
research Dietary Vitamin D Supplementation Improves Hair Follicle Development and Affects Fatty Acid Metabolism in Rex Rabbits
