research Establishment of a New Three-Dimensional Human Epidermal Model Reconstructed from Plucked Hair Follicle-Derived Keratinocytes

12 citations , May 2016 in “Experimental Dermatology”

The researchers concluded that their new reconstructed human epidermis model from plucked hair follicle-derived keratinocytes offers a safer and simpler alternative to traditional skin-derived models for studying epidermal function.

research Nutrition and Hair: The Role of Nutrients in Hair Health

98 citations , October 2012 in “Dermatologic Clinics”

This article reviews the impact of nutritional deficiencies on hair health, detailing how they can cause structural abnormalities, pigmentation changes, or hair loss; it presents no new clinical findings.

research The Hair Follicle as a Dynamic Mini-Organ

759 citations , February 2009 in “Current Biology”

This review summarizes fundamental concepts and recent advancements in hair follicle biology, including insights from mouse models into broader molecular and cellular processes relevant to regeneration and development.

research Profiling the Response of Human Hair Follicles to Ultraviolet Radiation

53 citations , January 2009 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

In this study, UVB irradiation of organ-cultured human anagen hair follicles in vitro reduced hair elongation and increased cell death, affecting hair growth and regulatory processes.

research Premature Senescence of Balding Dermal Papilla Cells In Vitro Is Associated With p16INK4a Expression

141 citations , November 2007 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that balding dermal papilla cells show premature senescence and altered expression of stress and DNA damage markers, suggesting sensitivity to environmental stress in androgenetic alopecia.

research Association of Androgenetic Alopecia With Smoking and Its Prevalence Among Asian Men

91 citations , November 2007 in “Archives of Dermatology”

In this study, smoking status and intensity were significantly associated with moderate or severe androgenetic alopecia among Asian men, after accounting for age and family history.

research Chemoprevention of Smoke-Induced Alopecia in Mice by Oral Administration of L-Cystine and Vitamin B6

41 citations , March 2007 in “Journal of dermatological science”

This study found that oral administration of l-cystine with vitamin B6 effectively prevents environmental cigarette smoke-induced alopecia in mice by reducing hair bulb cell apoptosis.

research Dietary Supplement Increases Anagen Hair Rate in Women With Telogen Effluvium: Results of a Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

47 citations , December 2006 in “Therapy”

This study found that a dietary supplement containing L-cystine, medicinal yeast, and pantothenic acid significantly improved hair growth in women with telogen effluvium over six months compared to placebo.

Xenobiotics In Vitro: The Influence of L-Cystine, Pantothenate, and Miliacin on Metabolic and Proliferative Capacity of Keratinocytes

research Xenobiotics In Vitro: The Influence of L-Cystine, Pantothenate, and Miliacin on Metabolic and Proliferative Capacity of Keratinocytes

9 citations , January 2006 in “Cutaneous and ocular toxicology”

This study found that L-cystine, D-pantothenat, and miliacin can enhance the metabolic capacity and proliferation of human keratinocytes, with a combination of these additives potentially providing synergistic benefits in growth media.

research Burden of Hair Loss: Stress and the Underestimated Psychosocial Impact of Telogen Effluvium and Androgenetic Alopecia

162 citations , August 2004 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study suggests that stress negatively affects hair growth by inducing inflammation and early hair cycle transitions in mice, which might inform strategies for managing stress-related hair loss in humans.

research Hair Follicle Differentiation And Regulation

199 citations , January 2004 in “The International Journal of Developmental Biology”

This review discusses advances in understanding hair and hair follicle structure, gene expression, and molecular signals in hair formation, without reporting new clinical findings.

research Association Between Smoking and Hair Loss: Another Opportunity for Health Education Against Smoking?

102 citations , January 2003 in “Dermatology”

This review discusses the potential link between smoking and hair loss and suggests that raising awareness about this association could enhance anti-smoking education efforts.

research Is Androgenetic Alopecia a Photoaggravated Dermatosis?

62 citations , January 2003 in “Dermatology”

This review suggests that androgenetic alopecia may be exacerbated by exposure to ultraviolet radiation and proposes considering it as a photoaggravated condition requiring photoprotection.

research Nutritional Factors and Hair Loss

239 citations , July 2002 in “Clinical and Experimental Dermatology”

This review explores the role of nutritional factors in hair loss, noting that iron and l-lysine supplementation may benefit some individuals, while excessive supplements can lead to hair shedding.

47 citations , April 2000 in “The American journal of pathology”

This study found that overexpressing human Bcl-2 in mice protected epidermal keratinocytes from UVB-induced apoptosis but unexpectedly increased apoptosis during hair follicle regression and chemotherapy.

research Telogen Alopecia Induced by UV Rays

30 citations , November 1996 in “Archives of Dermatology”

This report describes cases of increased hair loss and scalp sunburns in patients using 3% minoxidil and 0.01% tretinoin, suggesting caution with tretinoin use on sunny days.
