research Penetration and Distribution of Three Lipophilic Probes in Human Skin Focusing on the Hair Follicle
Medium lipophilic substances penetrate skin best, and adding ethanol can increase delivery to hair follicles.
research Significance of the Polyglutamine Tract Polymorphism in the Androgen Receptor
The length of the CAG repeat in the androgen receptor gene affects the risk and progression of prostate cancer, BPH, infertility, and undermasculinized genitalia.
research Exogenous IGF-1 Promotes Hair Growth by Stimulating Cell Proliferation and Downregulating TGF-β1 in C57BL/6 Mice In Vivo
IGF-1 injections help mice grow more hair by increasing cell growth and blocking a hair growth inhibitor.
research Genetic Defects in Human Pericentrin Are Associated With Severe Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
People with PCNT mutations often develop severe insulin resistance and early-onset diabetes during childhood or adolescence.
research Decreased Androgen Receptor Gene Methylation in Premature Pubarche: A Novel Pathogenetic Mechanism?
Reduced AR gene methylation may cause early pubic hair growth in girls.
research The Effect of Topical Minoxidil on Hair Follicular Cycles of Rats
Minoxidil speeds up hair growth in rats without prolonging growth phase.
research Percutaneous Absorption of Minoxidil in Humans
Minoxidil absorbs poorly through skin, with low risk of side effects at 1-2% concentration.
research The Slick Hair Coat Locus Maps to Chromosome 20 in Senepol-Derived Cattle
The gene for slick hair in Senepol cattle is located on chromosome 20 and may involve the SRD5A2 gene.
research Increased Androgen Binding Capacity in Sebaceous Glands in Scalp of Male-Pattern Baldness
Men with male-pattern baldness have more androgen receptors in their scalp's oil glands, which may contribute to hair loss.
research Female Androgenetic Alopecia: A Separate Entity
Female and male AGA are different diseases.
research Dissecting Fibroblast Heterogeneity in Health and Fibrotic Disease
Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in both healthy and diseased tissues, and understanding them better could improve treatments for fibrotic diseases.
research Organization and Expression of Hair Follicle Genes
Hair growth is controlled by specific gene clusters and proteins, and cysteine affects hair gene expression in sheep.
research The Repairing of Full-Thickness Skin Deficiency and Its Biological Mechanism Using Decellularized Human Amniotic Membrane as the Wound Dressing
Human amniotic membrane helps heal skin wounds faster and with less scarring.
research Alleviation of Multidrug Resistance by Flavonoid and Non-Flavonoid Compounds in Breast, Lung, Colorectal, and Prostate Cancer
Some natural compounds may help overcome drug resistance in certain cancers, but more research is needed.
research Chitosan Microparticles for Sustaining the Topical Delivery of Minoxidil Sulphate
Chitosan microparticles improve minoxidil sulphate delivery, potentially reducing daily applications.
research FGFR2 Is Associated With Hair Thickness In Asian Populations
A gene variation is linked to hair thickness in Asians.
research Thyroid Hormone Action on Skin
Thyroid hormone affects skin health, with too little causing rough, pale skin and too much leading to smooth, thin skin, and may also impact wound healing and skin conditions.
research Androgen Receptor Gene CAG Repeat Polymorphism in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Longer CAG repeat lengths in the androgen receptor gene are linked to higher testosterone levels in women with PCOS.
research Identification of the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 22-1 (KAP22-1) Gene and Its Effect on Wool Traits
The gene KAP22-1 affects wool yield and fiber shape in sheep.
research Fibroblast Growth Factor 5-Short (FGF5s) Inhibits the Activity of FGF5 in Primary and Secondary Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells of Cashmere Goats
FGF5s can block the effects of FGF5, which may help control hair growth in cashmere goats.
research Measuring Changes in Chemistry, Composition, and Molecular Structure Within Hair Fibers by Infrared and Raman Spectroscopic Imaging
Infrared and Raman imaging can non-destructively analyze hair structure and help diagnose hair conditions.
research Mutations in the Keratin 85 (KRT85/hHb5) Gene Underlie Pure Hair and Nail Ectodermal Dysplasia
Mutations in the KRT85 gene cause hair and nail problems.
research Azathioprine
Azathioprine's effectiveness and safety require careful monitoring and more research, especially regarding its use with corticosteroids and the role of TPMT status in patients.
research Cysteine Prevents the Reduction in Keratin Synthesis Induced by Iron Deficiency in Human Keratinocytes
Cysteine helps maintain keratin production in skin cells even when iron is low.
research Pyrene Excimer Nucleic Acid Probes for Biomolecule Signaling
Pyrene excimer nucleic acid probes are promising for detecting biomolecules accurately with potential for biological research and drug screening.
research Prevalence of CYP21 Mutations and IRS1 Variant Among Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Adrenal Androgen Excess
Some women with PCOS have CYP21 mutations and IRS1 variants, but these genetic factors are not major contributors to PCOS.
research SLE and Serum Complement: Causative, Concomitant or Coincidental?
Low serum complement levels in SLE patients don't always match with disease flares; monitoring C3 and C4 is useful, but cell-bound complement products might better indicate disease activity.
research Hypertrichosis Induced by Latanoprost
Latanoprost, a glaucoma medication, caused excessive eyelid hair growth in many patients.
research The Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Cutaneous Remodeling and Hair Follicle Dynamics
Tiny particles called extracellular vesicles could help with skin healing and hair growth, but more research is needed.
