Transplant success has improved with better immunosuppressive drugs and donor matching.

Understanding hair follicle anatomy helps diagnose hair disorders.

The document recommends using both clinical evaluation and various measurement methods to assess skin greasiness, considering factors like temperature and hormones.

Low oxygen conditions increase the hair-growing effects of substances from fat-derived stem cells by boosting growth factor release.

Electrolysis is effective for permanent hair removal, but technique is key to avoid scarring, and sometimes hormonal treatment is needed for women with hirsutism.

Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.

Mouse hair follicle cells briefly grow during the early hair growth phase, showing that these cells are important for starting the hair cycle.

Obesity worsens PCOS symptoms, and PCOS may lead to more weight gain; managing both requires a holistic approach that includes mental health.

Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.

Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.

Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.

The document concludes that understanding hair structure is key to diagnosing hair abnormalities and recommends gentle hair care for management.

Dexamethasone speeds up hair loss in mice, while cyclosporin A slows it down.

Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.

The document describes how to tell different types of non-scarring hair loss apart by looking at hair and scalp tissue under a microscope.

The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.

Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.

The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.

Thyroid hormones help hair grow, reduce hair loss, and increase hair pigment.

Smoking harms the skin, causing early aging and increasing cancer risk, but stopping smoking can improve skin health.

Some drugs can cause skin, nail, and hair problems, which are important for healthcare professionals to recognize and report.

Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.

Researchers found that hair shedding happens mostly when new hair is growing and involves a unique process.

The document concludes that assessing hair follicle damage due to cyclophosphamide in mice involves analyzing structural changes and suggests a scoring system for standardized evaluation.

Skin surface lipids are important for skin health and altering them could help prevent aging and treat skin conditions.

Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.

Treating psoriasis on the scalp, nails, and skin folds is challenging, often requiring systemic treatments for severe cases, with some success in topical and biologic treatments.

Chemotherapy often causes temporary hair loss, which is distressing and needs better treatment and support.

Laminin-511 is crucial for early hair growth and maintaining important hair development signals.

One minoxidil-sensitive potassium channel exists in human hair follicles.
