Gerontobiology of the Hair Follicle
January 2010
Research cited in this study
18 / 18 resultsresearch Chronological Aging of Human Hair Keratin Fibers
Hair ages as the cuticle wears down, especially beyond 1 meter from the root, affecting its strength and shine.
research A Position Effect on TRPS1 Is Associated with Ambras Syndrome in Humans and the Koala Phenotype in Mice
A position effect on the TRPS1 gene causes excessive hair growth in humans and mice.
research Dermatologic Signs in Patients with Eating Disorders
Eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia cause skin problems, and dermatologists can help detect these disorders early for better treatment outcomes.
research Burden of Hair Loss: Stress and the Underestimated Psychosocial Impact of Telogen Effluvium and Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss causes stress and affects mental health; treatment and support needed.
research Hair Cycle and Hair Pigmentation: Dynamic Interactions and Changes Associated with Aging
As people age, their hair follicles produce less pigment, leading to gray and white hair, due to factors like reduced enzyme activity and damage to melanocyte DNA.
research Hair Follicle Dermal Cells Differentiate Into Adipogenic and Osteogenic Lineages
Hair follicle cells can become fat and bone cells.
research Plasticity and Cytokinetic Dynamics of the Hair Follicle Mesenchyme During the Hair Growth Cycle: Implications for Growth Control and Hair Follicle Transformations
Disruptions in hair follicle fibroblast dynamics can cause hair growth problems.
research Morphological Approach to Hair Disorders
Accurate clinical, histological, and genetic methods are key for understanding and treating hair disorders.
research Plasticity and Cytokinetic Dynamics of the Hair Follicle Mesenchyme: Implications for Hair Growth Control
Hair growth is influenced by dynamic changes in hair follicle cells, which could help treat hair loss.
research Hypertrichosis
The document explains the types of excessive hair growth and how to manage it.
research Kenogen
Kenogen is a resting phase in hair follicles that may contribute to baldness, especially in androgenetic alopecia.
research Possible Mechanisms of Miniaturization During Androgenetic Alopecia or Pattern Hair Loss
Hair loss occurs due to fewer papillary cells, smaller follicles, and shorter growth phases.
research Androgen responsive genes as they affect hair growth.
Finasteride reduces caspase levels, helping hair growth in AGA patients.
research Differences in Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Volume Are Due to Extracellular Matrix Volume and Cell Number: Implications for the Control of Hair Follicle Size and Androgen Responses
Hair follicle size is mainly influenced by the number of cells and extracellular matrix volume, with cell number having a larger impact.
research Cellular and developmental aspects of androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia involves complex hair follicle changes and knowledge gaps remain.
research Pregnancy and the Skin: Physiological Changes and Dermatoses
Pregnancy can cause skin changes like pigmentation, stretch marks, and temporary hair loss, which often worry the expectant individual.
research Pregnancy and the Skin
Most pregnant women experience skin changes like darkening and stretch marks, and some may have skin conditions that usually get better after giving birth.
research The comparative histopathology of male-pattern baldness and senescent baldness
The understanding of male-pattern baldness remains unclear.
