November 2011 in “Journal of Infection” Many women with HIV in the North of England are diagnosed late and have other health conditions.
January 2010 in “DR-NTU (Nanyang Technological University)” This study found that exposure to chlorine significantly reduced tensile properties in human hair compared to normal, while dyeing only affected some properties but not all.
January 2009 in “Nihon Keshouhin Gijutsushakaishi/Journal of S C C./Nihon Keshouhin Gijutsushakai kaishi” This study found that the structural and chemical composition of human curly hair may resemble that of sheep wool, implying a shared characteristic among mammals with wavy hair.
January 2009 in “Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University” In this study, adolescent male acne patients with normal serum testosterone showed improved outcomes with finasteride plus lifestyle intervention, significantly reducing DHT and free testosterone levels and improving SHBG levels, with minimal adverse effects.
January 2008 in “한국미용학회지” This study found that 3% Chamaecyparis obtusa oil effectively stimulated hair growth in an alopecia model using C57BL/6 mice, with a correlation to increased enzyme activity.
January 2008 in “Medical Entomology and Zoology”
This research investigated the role of EphA1 in embryonic and adult tissues, generating mouse models suggesting potential links to skin and colon cancer, sepsis, and post-traumatic injury.
January 2007 in “The Year book of dermatology” Researchers successfully isolated and identified key stem cells in human hair follicles, which could help develop new skin and hair treatments.
January 2006 in “Chinese Journal of Aesthetic Medicine” In this study, lipo-minoxidil was found to increase vascular endothelial growth factor expression in the skin of C57BL/6 mice more than standard minoxidil formulations.
March 2004 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This study found that patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and diffuse hair loss showed non-scarring alopecia without inflammation and a decrease in total hair follicles.
January 2002 in “Medical archives (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina)” This study suggests that the phytochemical characteristics of their extract may help reduce IL-1α levels, potentially offering therapeutic support for addressing certain types of nonscarring hair loss.
September 1998 in “Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” Old people's nails often have problems due to body changes, more diseases, and self-care difficulties, affecting their movement and hand use.
March 1997 in “Medical Molecular Morphology” Zinc deficiency causes early scalp hair damage that recovers slower than skin symptoms.
January 1997 in “The Showa University Journal of Medical Sciences” This study found that dihydrotestosterone significantly reduced the growth rate of perifollicular sheath cells but had no effect on nonfollicular fibroblasts or dermal papilla cells.
March 1996 in “Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science” This study examined how different forms of dietary zinc affect the dimensions, weight, and zinc content of dog hair to evaluate coat condition.
March 1996 in “Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science” This study examined how the form of dietary zinc affects the dimensions, weight, and zinc content of dog hair, which are considered indicators of coat condition.
This narrative review discusses the hormonal control of hair growth, particularly focusing on dihydrotestosterone and its role in the pilosebaceous unit and androgen-related hair conditions, and does not report new findings.
August 1994 in “Journal of dermatological science” Mouse hair cells respond to male hormones by growing less, and this can be stopped by certain blockers.
