June 2024 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” In this study, significant upregulation of the genes SFRP2 and PTGDS was found in bald hair follicles of female pattern hair loss patients compared to non-bald follicles, suggesting these genes may be biomarkers and play a role in hair loss for this condition.
February 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study identified SFRP2 and PTGDS as potential biomarkers for female pattern hair loss, finding these genes consistently upregulated in bald hair follicles from all 18 patients, which may contribute to understanding the condition's pathogenesis and developing targeted treatments.
June 2023 in “British journal of dermatology/British journal of dermatology, Supplement” This case report describes a rare instance of dissecting cellulitis of the scalp in a White child, which is uncommon in pediatric cases and presented challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that matrix progenitor cells in hair follicles move in a conveyor-belt-like fashion along the dermal papilla, changing their transcriptional states and lineage potential as they differentiate into inner hair follicle layers.
January 2023 in “Dermatologic therapy” This study found that dissecting cellulitis of the scalp was more common in young men, with an association between longer disease duration and increased severity, but no link between age and severity.
November 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that early pigment cell markers Sox10 and c-KIT, as well as DCT/TRP-2, were detectable in melanogenically-active melanocytes of the anagen bulb in human hair follicles.
September 2022 in “World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews” This study introduced a Density-Calibrated Airtouch Protocol (DCAP) that suggests customizing the Airtouch hair coloring technique based on client hair density to optimize color blend, pigment longevity, and hair health.
September 2021 in “CRC Press eBooks” This review discusses dissecting cellulitis of the scalp and reports no new clinical findings.
July 2021 in “Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports” In this report, a 16-year-old Saudi girl with Woodhouse-Sakati Syndrome exhibited unique findings, including hepatic hemangioma and low growth hormone, suggesting the importance of considering WSS in similar clinical presentations.
This review summarizes evidence suggesting that the ratio of Myo-Inositol to D-Chiro-Inositol in follicular fluid is crucial for oocyte and embryo quality.
April 2019 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study suggests that stimulating olfactory receptors in human hair follicles with Sandalore® increases antimicrobial activity by upregulating dermcidin production, potentially offering a novel approach for treating hair follicle diseases with bacterial issues.
October 2018 in “Journal of Clinical Research in Pediatric Endocrinology” This study found that children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia had elevated epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with increased carotid intima media thickness, left ventricular mass, and mitral deceleration time.
October 2017 in “Our Dermatology Online” This study reports that while DCP had similar treatment efficacy in propylene glycol and isopropanol for alopecia areata, the formulation in isopropanol was better tolerated.
April 2017 in “Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open” In this study with a rat muscle defect model, decellularized muscle matrix demonstrated better integration, neovascularization, and myogenesis compared to commercially available acellular dermal matrices, and also showed trends toward reduced inflammation and fibrosis after 30 and 60 days.
January 2017 in “Nasza Dermatologia Online” This study found that both new and old formulas of DCP for treating alopecia areata resulted in similar hair regrowth, but tolerance was significantly better with DCP in isopropanol.
This study found that in beagles with benign prostate hyperplasia, finasteride treatment increased blood volume and decreased vessel leakiness in the prostate's parenchymal zone as shown by dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.
February 2014 in “아시안뷰티화장품학술지” This review discusses various natural extracts, such as peppermint, rosemary, wild cultivated ginseng, and others, for their potential hair growth promotion effects and calls for further exploration into combinations with fewer side effects.
