Research cited in this study

7 / 7 results

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 Dissecting the Impact of Chemotherapy on the Human Hair Follicle

99 citations , September 2007 in “The American journal of pathology”

This study found that organ-cultured human scalp hair follicles can mimic chemotherapy-induced damage in vivo and serve as a model to explore molecular targets and protective agents for hair follicle preservation.

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 Influence of FHIT on Benzo[a]pyrene-Induced Tumors and Alopecia in Mice: Chemoprevention by Budesonide and N-Acetylcysteine

24 citations , May 2006 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America”

This study reported that heterozygosity for FHIT affects mice's susceptibility to spontaneous alopecia areata and to certain preneoplastic lesions induced by benzo[a]pyrene, but does not change how they respond to budesonide and N-acetyl-L-cysteine.

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 P53 Involvement in the Control of Murine Hair Follicle Regression

71 citations , June 2001 in “American Journal of Pathology”

This study found that p53 plays a crucial role in regulating apoptosis during hair follicle regression (catagen) in mice, and its absence leads to delayed progression and altered expression of apoptosis-related markers.

research Genetic Control of Cytokines

23 citations , October 1996 in “Dermatologic clinics”

This review discusses genomic and postgenomic alterations in chronic degenerative diseases and potential modulation by dietary and pharmacological agents, reporting no new clinical results.
