research The Rotterdam Study: 2016 Objectives and Design Update
The Rotterdam Study found risk factors for elderly diseases, links between lifestyle and genetics with health conditions, and aimed to explore new areas like DNA methylation and sensory input effects on brain function.
research Regulation of Somatic Cell Reprogramming Through Inducible miR-302 Expression
Increasing mir-302 turns human hair cells into stem cells by changing gene regulation and demethylation.
research The Circadian Molecular Clock Creates Epidermal Stem Cell Heterogeneity
The circadian clock affects skin stem cell behavior, impacting aging and cancer risk.
research Mucocutaneous Reactions to Chemotherapy

research Vitamin D Receptor: Molecular Signaling and Actions of Nutritional Ligands in Disease Prevention
Vitamin D receptor interacts with certain dietary components to help prevent diseases and regulate hair growth.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2014 Objectives and Design Update
The Rotterdam Study aims to understand disease causes in the elderly and has found new risk factors and genetic influences on various conditions.
research Hair Follicle Aging Is Driven by Transepidermal Elimination of Stem Cells via COL17A1 Proteolysis
Hair loss and aging are caused by the breakdown of a key protein in hair stem cells.
research Prostaglandin D2 Inhibits Hair Growth and Is Elevated in Bald Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
PGD2 stops hair growth and is higher in bald men with AGA.
research Commensal Microbes and Hair Follicle Morphogenesis Coordinately Drive Treg Migration into Neonatal Skin
Hair follicle development and microbes help regulatory T cells gather in newborn skin.

research A Hot New Twist to Hair Biology: The Role of TRPV1 in Human Hair Growth Control
Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, can slow down hair growth by affecting skin cells and hair follicles.
research Dihydrotestosterone-Inducible Dickkopf 1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Causes Apoptosis in Follicular Keratinocytes
A substance called DKK-1 increases in balding areas and causes hair cells to die when exposed to DHT.
research Pharmacologic Inhibition of JAK-STAT Signaling Promotes Hair Growth
Blocking JAK-STAT signaling can lead to hair growth.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
