Research cited in this study

10 / 10 results

research Study of the Efficacy of Korean Red Ginseng in the Treatment of Androgenic Alopecia

25 citations , September 2009 in “Journal of Ginseng Research”

This study found that taking Korean red ginseng significantly increased hair density and thickness in patients with androgenic alopecia compared to a placebo over 24 weeks.

research P63 Expression Pattern During Rat Epidermis Morphogenesis and the Role of P63 as a Marker for Epidermal Stem Cells

16 citations , September 2006 in “Journal of Cutaneous Pathology”

This study found that the p63 transcription factor is expressed during rat epidermal development and may serve as a specific marker for keratinocyte progenitor cells.

research Expression of Beta-Catenin, p63, and CD34 in Hair Follicles During the Course of Androgenetic Alopecia

4 citations , August 2005 in “Archives of Dermatological Research”

This study detected higher expression of p63 in occipital scalp areas compared to frontal areas, with minimal changes in beta-catenin expression and a novel finding of CD34 positive cells in hair follicles' outer root sheath.

research Control of Pelage Hair Follicle Development and Cycling by Complex Interactions Between Follistatin and Activin

81 citations , January 2003 in “The FASEB Journal”

This study found that follistatin and activin interactions are important for hair follicle development and cycling in mice, suggesting that they may regulate processes involving BMP-2 and its antagonist.

research P63 Expression in Normal Skin and Common Cutaneous Carcinomas

157 citations , October 2002 in “Journal of Cutaneous Pathology”

This study suggests that p63 is consistently expressed in the basal cells of the skin and may influence differentiation and the development of common skin carcinomas.

research Promoted Growth of Murine Hair Follicles Through Controlled Release of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

56 citations , June 2002 in “Biomaterials”

This study found that controlled release of VEGF via a collagen hydrogel promoted hair follicle growth and cell proliferation in mice more effectively than free VEGF injections.

research Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in Various Compartments of the Human Hair Follicle

105 citations , December 1998 in “Archives of Dermatological Research”

This study found that dermal papilla cells in human hair follicles exhibit stronger expression of VEGF mRNA and protein compared to other follicular cells, suggesting their key role in angiogenic processes related to hair growth.

research The Effect of Finasteride in Men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

1040 citations , October 1992 in “The New England Journal of Medicine”

In this study, 5 mg of finasteride per day significantly improved urinary symptoms and reduced prostate volume in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, but increased the risk of sexual dysfunction.

research Hair Anatomy for the Clinician

139 citations , July 1991 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

This article discusses the structure of hair follicles and their significance in evaluating hair disorders, but it does not report any new research findings.

$Minoxidil: An Alternative to Nephrectomy for Refractory Hypertension$

research Minoxidil: An Alternative to Nephrectomy for Refractory Hypertension

180 citations , July 1973 in “The New England Journal of Medicine”

In this study, minoxidil effectively reduced blood pressure to near normal levels in patients with malignant or accelerated hypertension resistant to conventional treatments, offering a potential alternative to nephrectomy.
