research Brain-Derived Nerve Factor and Neurotrophins in Androgenetic Alopecia
Lower growth factors linked to balding in androgenetic alopecia.
research Alopecias Due to Drugs and Other Skin and Systemic Disorders
Hair loss can be caused by stress, infections, drugs, and various diseases, with treatment depending on accurate diagnosis.
research Cyclical Dermal Micro-Niche Switching Governs the Morphological Infradian Rhythm of Mouse Zigzag Hair
Mouse zigzag hair bends form due to a 3-day cycle of changes in hair progenitors and their environment.
research Estimation of Serum Ferritin Level in Female Patients with Telogen Effluvium
Low serum ferritin levels are not closely linked to telogen effluvium in women.
research NF-κB in Biology and Targeted Therapy: New Insights and Translational Implications
NF-κB signaling is crucial in many diseases and can be targeted for new treatments.
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 Perspectives of Alopecia Behind the Regulation of Foxn1 Gene Exposes the Human Nude Phenotype
The gene Foxn1 is important for hair growth, and understanding it may lead to new alopecia treatments.
research Insights Gained from Chickens' Rapid Hair Development During Hatching Lead to Discovery of Hair Growth Peptide Derived from Egg Yolk
Researchers found a substance in chicken egg yolk that helps hair grow.
research STIM1, But Not STIM2, Is the Calcium Sensor Critical for Sweat Secretion
STIM1 is essential for sweat secretion.
research Blood Plasma Levels of Heart Disease Biomarker Cardiac Troponin I Are Significantly Increased in Alopecia Areata Affected Individuals
People with alopecia areata have higher levels of a heart disease marker in their blood.
research Disturbed Sebum and Microbiome Composition in Sensitive Scalp
Sensitive scalp has higher pH, more redness, abnormal sebum, and altered bacterial makeup.
research External Light Activates Hair Follicle Stem Cells Through Eyes Via the ipRGC-SCN-Sympathetic Neural Circuit
Light can activate hair growth through a pathway from the eyes to hair follicles.
research Aging Well
Eating fewer calories may slow aging and removing old cells can increase lifespan in mice.
research Epidermal Homeostasis: A Balancing Act of Stem Cells in the Skin
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing the skin and hair, using a complex mix of signals to do so.
research Melatonin Membrane Receptors in Peripheral Tissues: Distribution and Functions
Melatonin affects many body functions beyond sleep by interacting with specific receptors in various tissues.
research Molecular Principles of Hair Follicle Induction and Morphogenesis
Hair follicle development is controlled by interactions between skin tissues and specific molecular signals.
research The Cutaneous Serotoninergic/Melatoninergic System: Securing a Place Under the Sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
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.
research The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.

research Human Scalp Hair Follicles Are Both a Target and a Source of Prolactin, Which Serves as an Autocrine and/or Paracrine Promoter of Apoptosis-Driven Hair Follicle Regression
Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
research Activin Controls Skin Morphogenesis and Wound Repair Predominantly via Stromal Cells and in a Concentration-Dependent Manner via Keratinocytes
