research Age-Related Hair Pigment Loss

20 citations , January 2015 in “Current problems in dermatology”

This paper reviews recent research on hair graying, suggesting that an imbalance in oxidative stress handling may affect melanocyte stem cells and melanin production with age, and calls for exploring strategies to prolong melanin production.

research HAIR-ROOT ADAPTATION TO MARASMUS IN ANDEAN INDIAN CHILDREN

32 citations , December 1969 in “The Lancet”

This study found a significant shift to the telogen phase in the hair growth of children with classical marasmus compared to normal children, suggesting a connection to the chronicity of the condition.

research A function for Rac1 in the terminal differentiation and pigmentation of hair

11 citations , January 2012 in “Journal of cell science”

This study demonstrates that Rac1 activity is essential for normal hair follicle formation but influences hair structure and pigmentation, in terminal differentiation, through alterations in hair shaft, cuticle, and pigmentation organization.

research Three Streams for the Mechanism of Hair Graying

26 citations , January 2018 in “Annals of dermatology/Annals of Dermatology”

This review examines current understanding of hair graying and suggests it may be caused by depletion of melanocyte stem cells due to genotoxic stress or dysfunctional melanocytes from oxidative stress.

research Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy for investigating murine telogen skin after spontaneous or depilation-induced hair growth

22 citations , February 2008 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

This research found that spontaneous and depilation-induced hair growth result in biologically distinct telogen phases in murine skin, with variations in thickness, pigment content, and hair follicle composition.

community UVA researchers discovered stem cells that plays a crucial role in hair growth - We are closer than ever to the cure!

281 upvotes 1 year ago

Researchers at the University of Virginia discovered a new group of stem cells in hair follicles that could potentially restore hair growth. The findings suggest that activating these stem cells might offer a new way to combat hair loss, though practical treatments are still years away.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

What pigments are used in scalp micropigmentation? Providers describe SMP pigments as organic, vegan and formulated for the scalp, but these are supplier and marketing descriptions rather than verified specifications, and clinics contradict each other on colour change and chemical content.
Are the pigments used in scalp micropigmentation safe? Providers describe SMP pigments as safe, medical-grade and made for the scalp, but those are supplier and clinic descriptions rather than regulatory approvals: no colour additive is approved for injection into the skin, and allergic reactions to tattoo pigment are documented.
