Research cited in this study

16 / 16 results

research Temporal Layering of Signaling Effectors Drives Chromatin Remodeling During Hair Follicle Stem Cell Lineage Progression

85 citations , January 2018 in “Cell stem cell”

This study found that synchronized signals in the microenvironment regulate stem cell lineage choices in hair follicles by influencing chromatin dynamics during regeneration.

research Vitamin D-Dependent Rickets Type II with Alopecia: A Rare Case Report

11 citations , January 2018 in “DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals)”

This case report observed that while a 4-year-old boy with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II showed biochemical and bone improvement after vitamin D and calcium treatment, his alopecia did not improve.

research The Vitamin D Receptor Is Required for Activation of CWnt and Hedgehog Signaling in Keratinocytes

56 citations , September 2014 in “Molecular Endocrinology”

This study found that the absence of unliganded vitamin D receptor significantly impairs cWnt and hedgehog signaling pathways necessary for hair cycle initiation in VDR-null mice.

research Hairy Tale of Signaling in Hair Follicle Development and Cycling

161 citations , August 2012 in “Seminars in cell & developmental biology”

This review discusses the molecular mechanisms involved in hair follicle development and regeneration, highlighting findings from mouse genetic studies, and reports no new experimental results.

research Winding the Clock Back on Female Androgenetic Alopecia

9 citations , May 2012 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This article discusses female androgenetic alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

research The Role of Vitamin D Receptor Mutations in the Development of Alopecia

109 citations , June 2011 in “Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology”

Vitamin D receptor mutations can cause alopecia by affecting hair growth genes.

Bald Scalp in Men with Androgenetic Alopecia Retains Hair Follicle Stem Cells but Lacks CD200-Rich and CD34-Positive Hair Follicle Progenitor Cells

research Bald Scalp in Men with Androgenetic Alopecia Retains Hair Follicle Stem Cells but Lacks CD200-Rich and CD34-Positive Hair Follicle Progenitor Cells

235 citations , January 2011 in “Journal of Clinical Investigation”

This study found that androgenetic alopecia may involve a defect in the conversion of hair follicle stem cells to progenitor cells, as demonstrated by a reduced presence of progenitor cells in bald scalp samples.

research Does D Matter? The Role of Vitamin D in Hair Disorders and Hair Follicle Cycling

98 citations , February 2010 in “Dermatology Online Journal”

This article outlines the potential for upregulating the vitamin D receptor in treating hair disorders, emphasizing the need for further studies to evaluate vitamin D's role in the hair cycle.

research Female Pattern Hair Loss May Be Triggered by Low Estrogen to Androgen Ratio

9 citations , March 2008 in “PubMed”

This study observed that women with female pattern hair loss had a significantly lower ratio of estradiol to free testosterone compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential hormonal trigger for hair loss.

research Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms Are Not Associated With Alopecia Areata

13 citations , September 2007 in “International Journal of Dermatology”

This study suggests no significant association between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and alopecia areata.

research Role of the Vitamin D Receptor in Hair Follicle Biology

54 citations , January 2007 in “The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology”

This study found that hair follicle homeostasis in mice requires vitamin D receptor expression in keratinocytes, independent of its ligand activation.

research Hairless and Wnt Signaling: Allies in Epithelial Stem Cell Differentiation

74 citations , September 2006 in “Cell Cycle”

This review examines the role of Hairless, a nuclear receptor corepressor, in regulating Wnt signaling during hair cycling and reports no new clinical results.

research Evaluation of Keratinocyte Proliferation and Differentiation in Vitamin D Receptor Knockout Mice

114 citations , June 2000 in “Endocrinology”

In this study, the researchers found that alopecia in VDR null mice is likely due to issues with hair cycle initiation rather than defects in keratinocyte proliferation or differentiation.

research The Biology of Hair Follicles

1113 citations , August 1999 in “The New England Journal of Medicine”

This article discusses the biologic and psychosocial significance of hair, the current limitations in hair growth drugs, and anticipates future therapies based on advancing hair follicle research.

research Classification of the Types of Androgenetic Alopecia (Common Baldness) Occurring in the Female Sex

666 citations , September 1977 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This article presents a classification system for stages of female-pattern androgenetic alopecia to aid early diagnosis and mentions existing systems for rare male-pattern cases, but reports no new clinical results.
