research Dissecting cellulitis (Perifolliculitis Capitis Abscedens et Suffodiens): a comprehensive review focusing on new treatments and findings of the last decade with commentary comparing the therapies and causes of dissecting cellulitis to hidradenitis suppura
New treatments for Dissecting cellulitis show promise, but more research is needed to understand the disease and establish a standard treatment plan.
research Hunting the genes in male‐pattern alopecia: how important are they, how close are we and what will they tell us?
Genes play a significant role in male-pattern baldness, and understanding them could lead to new treatments and insights into related health issues.
research Fourier Transform Infrared Attenuated Total Reflection Analysis of Human Hair: Comparison of Hair from Breast Cancer Patients with Hair from Healthy Subjects
Hair from breast cancer patients shows changes in structure and composition, and a test using these changes detected cancer but also falsely identified some healthy samples as cancerous.
research Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans: a family study of seven male cases and six female carriers.
The study found that males with KFSD had severe skin and eye symptoms, while female carriers had milder symptoms.
research Prediction of male-pattern baldness from genotypes
Genetic data can predict male-pattern baldness with moderate accuracy, especially for early-onset cases in some European men.
research Effect of shampoo, conditioner and permanent waving on the molecular structure of human hair
Perming significantly changes hair's molecular structure, while shampoo and conditioner do not.
research Ectodermal Dysplasia: Otolaryngologic Manifestations and Management
Ectodermal dysplasia causes various symptoms and early treatment is important for eye, dental, and skin issues.
research Microencapsulated cell tracking
Microencapsulation helps protect and track therapeutic cells, showing promise for treating various diseases, but more work is needed to improve the technology.
research Cornification in reptilian epidermis occurs through the deposition of keratin‐associated beta‐proteins (beta‐keratins) onto a scaffold of intermediate filament keratins
Reptile skin hardens by layering beta-proteins on keratin.
research Validity of methyl mercury hair analysis: mercury monitoring in human scalp/nude mouse model
Human scalp hair on mice can effectively monitor mercury exposure.
research Structural changes in the trichocyte intermediate filaments accompanying the transition from the reduced to the oxidized form
Oxidation changes the structure of hair protein filaments, causing them to compact and rearrange.
research Genetic and molecular aspects of androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is mainly caused by genetic factors and increased androgen activity, leading to hair follicle miniaturization.
research Nucleation and growth of macrofibrils in trichocyte (hard-α) keratins
Sheet formation is key to macrofibril structure differences in wool.
research Experimental, molecular docking investigations and bioavailability study on the inclusion complexes of finasteride and cyclodextrins
Cyclodextrins improve finasteride's solubility and bioavailability for hair loss treatment.
research Roles of steroid sulfatase in brain and other tissues
Steroid sulfatase is important for activating hormones that affect memory, brain function, and certain diseases, and could be a target for treating hormone-related disorders.
research In vivo formation steps of the hard α-keratin intermediate filament along a hair follicle: Evidence for structural polymorphism
Hair follicles form hard α-keratin filaments in four steps, showing structural differences.
research New developments in the molecular treatment of ichthyosis: review of the literature
New treatments for ichthyosis, like protein replacement and gene therapy, show promise and may become standard care.
research ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND CONTEMPORARY HUMAN HAIR COMPOSITION AND MORPHOLOGY
Mummy hair's chemical composition may not accurately show ancient people's health due to environmental contamination.
research Colour Dilution Alopecia (CDA) in Ten yorkshire Terriers
Yorkshire Terriers with Colour Dilution Alopecia have reduced melanin and hair structure issues.
research XEDAR activates the non-canonical NF-κB pathway
XEDAR triggers a specific signaling pathway in cells.
research Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans in a female
A rare genetic skin condition usually affecting males was found in a 9-year-old girl.
research Structural characterization of polymorphs and molecular complexes of finasteride
Finasteride's molecular and crystal structures help develop new drug formulations.
research Structural Hierarchy of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair growth and structure.
research Effects on Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase Gene Expression of Thai Rice Bran Extracts and Molecular Dynamics Study on SRD5A2
Thai rice bran extracts, especially from Tubtim Chumphae rice, can significantly reduce the activity of hair loss genes, with x-tocopherol showing potential as an anti-hair loss product.
research Changes in the Molecular Structure of Hair in Insulin-Dependent Diabetes
Insulin-dependent diabetes alters hair's molecular structure, making it useful for studying diabetes effects.
research Understanding breakage in curly hair
Curly hair breaks due to mechanical damage and environmental factors, not chemical makeup, and needs ongoing care to prevent breakage.
research Exogenous Factors in Hair Disorders
Outside factors like grooming, chemicals, and the environment can damage hair and cause disorders.
research An in vivo method for the detection of somatic mutations at the cellular level in mice
A new method can detect mutations in mice by observing changes in hair follicle cells.
research Polymorphism of CAG and GGN repeats of androgen receptor gene in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
