research Hair Growth Promoting Effects of 650 nm Red Light Stimulation on Human Hair Follicles and Study of Its Mechanisms via RNA Sequencing Transcriptome Analysis
650 nm red light helps hair grow and prevents hair loss by affecting certain genes and biological processes.
research Telomere Dynamics and Telomerase in the Biology of Hair Follicles and Their Stem Cells as a Model for Aging Research
Hair follicle studies suggest that maintaining telomere length could help treat hair loss and graying, but it's uncertain if mouse results apply to humans.
research Comparative Study of Some Potential Paracrine Factors Produced by Normal and Androgenetic Alopecia Hair Follicles
research Aging of the Hair Follicle Pigmentation System
Hair grays due to oxidative stress and fewer functioning melanocytes.
research Approach to the Adult Female Patient with Diffuse Nonscarring Alopecia
The document concludes that careful evaluation is key to diagnose and treat women with hair loss, with tests for thyroid, iron, and hormones as needed.
research Recent Advances in the Pathogenesis of Autoimmune Hair Loss Disease Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is caused by immune system attacks on hair follicles, often triggered by viral infections.
research Is Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone a Novel Neuroendocrine Modulator of Keratin Expression in Human Skin?
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone may help control skin and hair growth and could aid in treating related disorders.
research Alopecia and Thyroid Disease
Thyroid disease can cause hair loss and treating thyroid problems might help with hair disorders.
research Premature Graying as a Consequence of Compromised Antioxidant Activity in Hair Bulb Melanocytes and Their Precursors
Gray hair may be caused by lower antioxidant activity in hair cells.
research A Folliculocentric Perspective of Dandruff Pathogenesis: Could a Troublesome Condition Be Caused by Changes to a Natural Secretory Mechanism?
Dandruff might be caused by changes in how hair follicles naturally release oils and an immune response to this imbalance.
research MTORC1 Activity Negatively Regulates Human Hair Follicle Growth and Pigmentation
High mTORC1 activity slows hair growth and causes it to lose color.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
