20 / 1000+ resultsresearch LncRNA-PCAT1 Maintains Characteristics of Dermal Papilla Cells and Promotes Hair Follicle Regeneration by Regulating miR-329/Wnt10b Axis
This study found that knockdown of PCAT1 inhibited hair follicle regeneration in nude mice by disrupting the miR-329/Wnt10b axis and Wnt/β-catenin signaling, highlighting PCAT1's role in promoting follicle regrowth.
research Imaging Prostate Cancer With Technetium-99m Tricarbonyl Finasteride Dithiocarbamate
In this study, researchers developed a new prostate cancer imaging agent, a [99m Tc]tricarbonyl complex derived from finasteride, which demonstrated high radiochemical purity and significant uptake in the prostate of a rat model, suggesting its potential for noninvasive prostate cancer imaging.
research Arabidopsis PCaP2 Functions as a Linker Between Abscisic Acid and Salicylic Acid Signals in Plant Water Deficit Tolerance
This study found that overexpressing the PCaP2 protein in Arabidopsis enhanced drought tolerance by influencing ABA and SA signaling pathways and regulating root hair growth, suggesting a key role in water deficit response.
research A Novel Approach Against Male Pattern Hair Loss With Topical Dimethylglycine Sodium Salt (DMG-Na) and Caffeine: Efficacy of a 24-Week, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial
In this study, a DMG-Na and caffeine-containing shampoo significantly reduced hair loss and increased hair density in men with male pattern hair loss over 6 months, compared to a placebo, without adverse effects.
research Disrupted Cholesterol Biosynthesis and Hair Follicle Stem Cell Impairment in the Onset of Alopecia
This study found that disrupted cholesterol homeostasis impairs hair regrowth in individuals with primary cicatricial alopecia by damaging hair follicle stem cells, highlighting the importance of cholesterol in maintaining stem cell function and hair follicle integrity.
research Immunopathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
This article discusses the anatomical and biological aspects of hair follicle stem cells in the bulge region but reports no new research findings.
research Multidimensional Profiling of Human Body Hairs Using Qualitative and Semi-Quantitative Approaches with SR-XRF, ATR-FTIR, DSC, and SEM-EDX
This study explored a multidimensional approach to examine body hairs' physico-chemical properties, potentially supporting their use over scalp hairs in forensic and intoxication studies.
research Topical Gabapentin and Its Relation to Cutaneous Innervation in Symptomatic Lymphocytic Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
In this pilot study, participants with lymphocytic primary cicatricial alopecia who applied 6% topical gabapentin solution twice daily for 12 weeks experienced significant symptom reduction, though there was no noticeable change in nerve fibre density or neuropeptide expression.
research Primary Cicatricial Alopecia Associated With Systemic Indolent Mastocytosis
Systemic mastocytosis may cause a type of hair loss called cicatricial alopecia.
research Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Cicatricial Alopecia
This abstract is a listing of affiliations and funding, with no new study or results reported.
research Androgen Receptor Mutations and Polymorphisms in African American Prostate Cancer
This study found that African American men with prostate cancer have higher rates of somatic and germline androgen receptor mutations than Caucasian American men, which may contribute to ethnic differences in disease progression and outcomes.
research New Plant Extracts Exert Complementary Anti-Hair Loss Properties in Human In Vitro and Ex Vivo Models
This study observed that a topical serum containing Silybum marianum extract, manganese PCA, and Lespedeza capitata extract enhanced hair follicle growth and hair shaft elongation, while prolonging the anagen phase in an ex vivo human scalp skin model, suggesting potential benefits for hair loss treatment.
research Preparation of a Highly Specific Single Chain Variable Fragment Antibody Targeting Miroestrol and Its Application in Quality Control of Pueraria Candollei by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
This study developed a sensitive and precise scFv-based ELISA for miroestrol quantification, aiding quality control in P. candollei plant materials and health supplements.
research Clinical and Metabolic Implications of Obesity in Prostate Cancer: Is Testosterone a Missing Link?
This study found that prostate cancer aggressiveness in men with obesity is associated with changes in age, BMI, testosterone, and estradiol levels, and that adipocyte-secreted molecules increase cancer cell aggressiveness in vitro.
research Design of an In Vitro Skin 3D Model Mimicking a Disruption of the Barrier Function
This study suggests that activating the hexosamine pathway may enhance skin homeostasis, potentially increasing hair follicle stem cells and modifying extracellular matrix components like hyaluronic acid in vitro.
research Trends in Biopolymer Science Applied to Cosmetics
This article reviews how biopolymers are utilized in cosmetics, highlighting their biodegradable and non-toxic properties, recent structural developments, novel applications, and safety considerations in the formulation of skin, hair, and oral care products.
research Lichen Planopilaris Treated With a Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Agonist
This overview discusses primary cicatricial alopecias, focusing on lichen planopilaris, and highlights the challenges in treatment and the progressive nature of hair loss despite symptom management, without providing new clinical results.
research Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Genetic Basis Underlying the Development of Skin Appendages and Immunity in Hedgehog (Atelerix Albiventris)
This study identified genes potentially involved in the development and differentiation of skin appendages in Atelerix albiventris, noting significant enrichment of immune-related genes in hair-type tissues.
research Design, Synthesis, and Preclinical Evaluation of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Targeted 99mTc-Radioimaging Agents
This study reports that three synthesized PSMA-targeted radioimaging agents demonstrated high affinity and specific localization to prostate cancer tumors in a mouse model, highlighting their potential for cancer detection and monitoring.
research Incomplete Recovery of Erectile Function in Rats After Discontinuation of Dual 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor Therapy
In this study using a rat model, discontinuing dutasteride improved some relaxant responses but did not fully restore erectile function, indicating a potential time-dependent detriment of the drug.
