research Camellia Seed Cake Extract Supports Hair Growth by Abrogating the Effect of Dihydrotestosterone in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Camellia seed cake extract may help hair growth by blocking the hair loss effects of a hormone called DHT.
research Androgen Receptor Ligands: Agonists and Antagonists
Different substances that activate or block the androgen receptor can affect male development and treat conditions like prostate cancer.
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 Mycophenolate Antagonizes IFN-γ-Induced Catagen-Like Changes via β-Catenin Activation in Human Dermal Papilla Cells and Hair Follicles
Mycophenolate helps reverse hair loss effects caused by IFN-γ by activating a key hair growth pathway.
research An Underlying Mechanism of Hair Loss in Acrodermatitis Enteropathica
Zinc deficiency disrupts hair growth and cycle, but zinc supplements can fix this.
research Bone Morphogenetic Proteins Are Critical Factors for Hair Follicle Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions in Androgenetic Alopecia
BMPs are crucial for hair growth and their decrease by androgens leads to hair loss.
research 254 Withdrawn
Aging causes sweat glands to shrink, leading to skin issues, and blue light can help hair grow.
research MitoQ Enhances CYP19A1 Expression to Stimulate WNT/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway for Promoting Hair Growth in Androgenetic Alopecia
MitoQ may help treat hair loss by boosting hair growth pathways.
research Efficacy of Asymmetric siRNA Targeting Androgen Receptor for the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
The conclusion is that a treatment called cp-asiAR can reduce hair loss and promote hair growth, making it a potential new therapy for androgenetic alopecia.
research Y27632 Promotes Proliferation via EGFR Signaling in a Newly Isolated and Characterized Human Primary Sebocyte Cell Line
Y27632 increases cell growth through EGFR signaling, not ROCK1/2.
research Efficacy of Asymmetric siRNA Targeting Androgen Receptor for the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
cp-asiAR may effectively treat hair loss by targeting androgen receptors.
research Efficacy of Asymmetric siRNA Targeting Androgen Receptors for the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
cp-asiAR may effectively treat androgenetic alopecia by promoting hair growth and reducing androgen receptor activity.
research Functional Hair Follicle Regeneration: An Updated Review
Hair follicle regeneration possible, more research needed.
research Inhibition of the Androgen Receptor by Antisense Oligonucleotides Regulates the Biological Activity of Androgens in SZ95 Sebocytes
Blocking the androgen receptor in skin cells reduces their growth response to male hormones, suggesting a possible treatment for skin conditions linked to androgens.
research Tissue-Selective Regulation of Androgen-Responsive Genes
The same hormone can affect gene expression differently in various tissues, which could lead to new treatments for conditions like hair loss.
