Safflower has been used in traditional medicine for centuries and shows promise in treating heart, brain, and inflammatory conditions, but more research is needed to ensure its safety.
research The Expression of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 in Follicular Dermal Papillae Correlates with Therapeutic Efficacy of Finasteride in Androgenetic Alopecia
Higher IGF-1 levels in hair follicles link to better finasteride results for hair loss.
research Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome: Current Status and Prospects for Gene Therapy Treatment
Gene therapy has potential as a future treatment for Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.
research Melanoma: Genetic Abnormalities, Tumor Progression, Clonal Evolution, And Tumor-Initiating Cells
Melanoma's complexity requires personalized treatments due to key genetic mutations and tumor-initiating cells.
research Fractal Geometry and Topology Abstracted from Hair Fibers
Hair fibers have fractal patterns with properties related to the golden mean, which may affect their functionality.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Smad7-Induced Beta-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research Phospholipase A2 Is Required for PIN-FORMED Protein Trafficking to the Plasma Membrane in the Arabidopsis Root
Phospholipase A2 is necessary for the correct placement of PIN proteins in plant roots, affecting root growth.
research Targeted Disruption of Stat3 Reveals a Major Role for Follicular Stem Cells in Skin Tumor Initiation
Disrupting Stat3 in hair follicle stem cells greatly reduces skin tumor formation.
research The Essential Oils of Chamaecyparis Obtusa Promote Hair Growth Through the Induction of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene
Essential oils from Chamaecyparis obtusa may help hair grow by increasing a growth-related gene.
research Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance And Hypersensitivity
The conclusion is that genetic changes in the glucocorticoid receptor can lead to conditions affecting stress response, immunity, and metabolism, requiring personalized treatment.
research Photobiomodulation Devices for Hair Regrowth and Wound Healing: A Therapy Full of Promise but a Literature Full of Confusion
Photobiomodulation may help with hair growth and wound healing, but research is inconsistent and needs better quality studies.
research Human Hair Growth Ex Vivo Is Correlated With In Vivo Hair Growth: Selective Categorization of Hair Follicles for More Reliable Hair Follicle Organ Culture
Choosing hair follicles at the same growth stage leads to more consistent hair growth experiments.
research Comparing Classic and Newer Phenotypes in Greek PCOS Women: The Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome and Their Association with Insulin Resistance
Greek women with classic PCOS are more likely to have metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance than those with newer PCOS types.
research Novel Technique of Follicular Unit Extraction Hair Transplantation with a Powered Punching Device
The new powered hair transplant method is faster and damages fewer grafts than the manual technique.
research Outcome of Long-Term Treatment with the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride in Idiopathic Hirsutism: Clinical and Hormonal Effects During a 1-Year Course of Therapy and 1-Year Follow-Up
Finasteride effectively reduces hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism, but requires careful contraception during treatment.
research Multi-Layered Environmental Regulation on the Homeostasis of Stem Cells: The Saga of Hair Growth and Alopecia
Environmental factors at different levels control hair stem cell activity, which could lead to new hair growth and alopecia treatments.
research Dealing With Misleading Advertising in the Face of Declining Government Resources
The document concludes that with limited resources, the government should focus on impactful enforcement against misleading advertising and encourage businesses to follow guidelines to prevent deception.
research Guidelines on Hair Restoration for East Asian Patients
Hair restoration for East Asians should consider their unique characteristics like head shape, hair thickness, and hair density, and use modified procedures and treatments to minimize scarring and maintain hair density.
research Genome-Wide Detection of RNA Editing Events During the Hair Follicles Cycle of Tianzhu White Yak
RNA editing significantly affects hair growth and follicle cycling in the Tianzhu white yak.
research MC4R Variants rs12970134 and rs17782313 Are Associated with Obese Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients in the Western Region of Saudi Arabia
Certain MC4R gene variants are linked to higher BMI in obese women with PCOS but do not cause PCOS.
