This study found that induced COX-2 expression in adult transgenic mice led to hair follicle miniaturization and enlargement of sebaceous glands, and suggests that targeting the PGD2 pathway might reverse these effects.

This study found that cyclosporine A can alter lipid bilayer properties and does so at a slower rate, suggesting conformational shifts may facilitate its membrane crossing.

This study suggests that FGF18 may enhance radioresistance in telogen hair follicles by inducing cell cycle arrest, potentially serving as a radioprotector against radiation-induced hair follicle damage.

This study presents an algorithm that may help physicians diagnose female hair loss by synthesizing patient history, clinical examination, and various diagnostic tests.

Certain gene variants may raise the risk of prostate enlargement, but taking NSAIDs could reduce this risk.

This study found that altering CDK4 expression in mice affects the population of keratinocyte stem cells, suggesting a correlation with susceptibility to skin papillomas.

This study concluded that monthly pulse IV cyclophosphamide is effective for severe lupus nephritis in Indian patients, achieving complete or partial remission in 68.9% of cases, though longer follow-up is needed.

This study found that leflunomide combined with prednisone showed good efficacy and tolerance in treating lupus nephritis where cyclophosphamide was ineffective or intolerable.

This review discusses the controversial non-inflammatory alopecia known as alopecia X, highlighting its unknown etiology and the variable effectiveness of various proposed treatments, but reports no new results.

This study found that the enzyme encoded by Dgat1 acts as a retinol acyltransferase in murine epidermis, protecting against retinoid toxicity and alopecia by preventing retinol accumulation.

Lowering the dose of cyclosporin caused hair loss that didn't improve even when the dose was increased again.

This study found that cyclosporin A stimulated hair growth in mouse vibrissae follicles by promoting cell proliferation, reducing apoptosis, and altering the expression of certain growth factor mRNAs.

This study found that oral cyclosporine combination therapy led to new hair growth in 71% of patients with severe and refractory alopecia areata, though mild and transient side effects were common.

This study demonstrated that cyclosporin A upregulated mRNA expression of HGF and VEGF in cultured mouse vibrissa follicles.

Cyclosporine starts hair growth faster, while minoxidil makes it last longer.

Cyclosporin A and FK506 can start new hair growth in mice, but ascomycin and rapamycin cannot.

This study found that AtT-20 pituitary cells with higher cAMP-dependent kinase activity had larger calcium currents and significantly increased beta-endorphin release compared to cells with lower kinase activity.

Cyclosporin and minoxidil promote hair growth.

This study developed a transgenic mouse model to explore androgenetic alopecia, finding that inducible COX2 expression led to sebaceous gland changes and hair miniaturization, with reversible effects upon reducing COX2.

Cyclosporin doesn't stop hair loss.

Lgr5 is a marker for active, long-lasting stem cells in mouse hair follicles.

This study found that intradermal adipocyte lineage cells in mice are necessary and sufficient to activate follicular stem cells, highlighting their role in regulating skin stem cell activity.

This article reviews the stages and regulation of the hair cycle, highlighting molecular regulators involved, but it does not present new research findings.

This article reviews the role of epithelial-mesenchymal interactions in hair follicle morphogenesis and the hair cycle, suggesting potential paths for developing treatments for hair growth disorders but providing no new clinical findings.

This study found that the hairless gene product (Hr) suppresses VDR-mediated gene activation by directly interacting with the vitamin D receptor, potentially affecting hair follicle function.

This article presents a comprehensive guide for classifying human hair follicle cycle stages in vivo using scalp xenografts on immunocompromised mice, offering valuable resources for researchers in the field.

In this study, researchers found that the number of dermal papilla cells in hair follicles determines hair size and shape in mice, suggesting potential avenues for addressing hair loss.

This study found that keratin 17 and TNFα play interdependent roles in regulating hair follicle cycling, with TNFα required for the anagen–catagen transition and its ablation partially rescuing hair cycling defects in K17-null mice.

FGF18 helps keep hair in its resting phase, affecting hair growth cycles.

This review discusses the conserved molecular mechanisms controlling hair follicle development and cycling and suggests they may also apply to other ectodermal derivatives, like teeth and feathers, but it reports no new results.
