Dermal EZH2 controls skin cell development and hair growth in mice.
research Hair cell toxicology: With the help of a little fish
Zebrafish larvae are used to study and find treatments for ear cell damage because they are easier to observe and test than mammals.
research Biology of melanocytes in mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
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 Percutaneous Drug Delivery to the Hair Follicle
Hair follicles could be used for targeted drug delivery, with liposomal systems showing promise for this method.
research Percutaneous drug delivery to the hair follicle
Hair follicles could be used to deliver drugs effectively, with the right understanding and methods.
research Chitosan stimulates root hair callose deposition and inhibits root hair growth
Chitosan slows root hair growth and causes a buildup of callose at low concentrations, but at high concentrations, it only inhibits growth without callose buildup.
research NEW CHALLENGE TO CANCER AND LONGEVITY
A group has developed therapies that show promise for treating cancer and various other conditions.
research Molecular Regulation and Cellular Heterogeneity in Skin Repair and Hair Follicle Regeneration
Ovol2 is crucial for hair growth and skin healing by controlling cell movement and growth.
research Alopecia Areata in C3H/HeJ Mice Involves Leukocyte-mediated Root Sheath Disruption in Advance of Overt Hair Loss
Hair loss in mice starts with immune cells damaging hair roots before it becomes visible.
research Wnt Signaling and Injury Repair
Wnt signaling helps heal injuries and could lead to new treatments.
research Effects of Visible Light on the Skin†
Visible light can damage skin and most sunscreens don't block it well; more research is needed on its effects and protection methods.
research Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
