11 / 11 results

research Age-Related Changes in Female Scalp Dermal Sheath and Dermal Fibroblasts: How the Hair Follicle Environment Impacts Hair Aging

14 citations , December 2020 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study observed that aging leads to significant structural and biological changes in the scalp's hair follicle environment in women, which may affect hair growth.

research Enrichment and Characterization of Human Dermal Stem/Progenitor Cells by Intracellular Granularity

10 citations , January 2013 in “Stem Cells and Development”

This study suggests that dermal stem/progenitor cells can be enriched by intracellular granularity and display high proliferation and differentiation potential in vitro, distinguishing them from other fibroblasts and progenitors.

research Comparative Secretome Analysis of Human Follicular Dermal Papilla Cells and Fibroblasts Using Shotgun Proteomics

44 citations , April 2012 in “BMB Reports”

This study identified several DPC-specific proteins, including ITGB1, IGFBP3, and THBS1, as potential biomarkers for hair growth modulation through proteomic and network analysis.

research Characteristics of Androgenetic Alopecia in Asian Populations

51 citations , January 2012 in “Annals of Dermatology”

This review discusses characteristics of androgenetic alopecia in Asian patients and includes algorithmic management guidelines, but reports no new clinical findings.

research Types of Hair Loss and Treatment Options, Including the Novel Low-Level Light Therapy and Its Proposed Mechanism

46 citations , September 2010 in “Southern Medical Journal”

This review discusses low-level light therapy for androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss, noting minimal clinical evidence on its efficacy and the need for more controlled studies.

research Review of Hair Follicle Dermal Cells

321 citations , December 2009 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

This review discusses the role of dermal cells in hair follicle regeneration and morphogenesis and highlights their potential therapeutic implications, but it reports no new empirical findings.

research SKPs Derive from Hair Follicle Precursors and Exhibit Properties of Adult Dermal Stem Cells

330 citations , December 2009 in “Cell stem cell”

This study suggests that skin-derived precursors from Sox2(+) hair follicle dermal cells have the potential to function as dermal stem cells, supporting hair morphogenesis, dermal maintenance, and wound-healing.

research The Mesenchymal Component of Hair Follicle Neogenesis: Background, Methods, and Molecular Characterization

131 citations , July 2009 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This review discusses the development and advances in studying trichogenic dermal cells for hair follicle morphogenesis, summarizing methods, bioassays, and molecular markers, but reports no new research findings.

research Molecular Dissection of Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions in the Hair Follicle

417 citations , September 2005 in “PLoS biology”

This study developed molecular signatures for dermal papilla cells and their niche, uncovering novel signaling regulators and genes linked to hair disorders, which may inform future hair development research.

research Prevalence of Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss in Maryborough

193 citations , August 2005 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings”

This study found that the prevalence of androgenetic alopecia increases with age among both men and women in Maryborough, Australia, with 57% of women and 73.5% of men aged 80 and over affected.

research Limitations of Human Occipital Scalp Hair Follicle Organ Culture for Studying the Effects of Minoxidil as a Hair Growth Enhancer

30 citations , September 2004 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that minoxidil did not significantly increase hair shaft elongation in ex vivo human hair follicle culture, questioning the suitability of this method for studying its hair-growth-promoting effects.
