research Understanding and Addressing Hair Disorders in Transgender Individuals
Hormone therapy affects hair growth in transgender individuals, with testosterone potentially causing hair loss in trans men and estrogen reducing facial/body hair in trans women; treatment options vary.
research Reflectance Confocal Microscopy Can Differentiate Dermoscopic White Dots of the Scalp Between Sweat Gland Ducts or Follicular Infundibulum
Reflectance confocal microscopy can tell apart white dots on the scalp as either sweat gland ducts or hair follicle openings.
research Weathering of the Hairless Scalp: A Study Using Skin Capacitance Imaging and Ultraviolet Light-Enhanced Visualization
The study found that long-term sun exposure does not significantly affect follicular plugs on the scalp, and the scalp's appearance is unique compared to other body parts.
research mTORC1 Activity Controls Human Scalp Hair Follicle Pigmentation and Growth
mTORC1 activity is important for hair growth and color, and targeting it could help treat hair loss and greying.
research Hair Growth Properties of Cinchona Succirubra Extract, Leontopodium Alpinum Extract, and Manganese PCA in Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells
The ingredients could help prevent hair loss by promoting hair growth and increasing VEGF secretion.
research Signaling Pathways in Hair Aging
Hair aging is caused by stress, hormones, inflammation, and DNA damage affecting hair growth and color.
research Respective Treatment Modalities with the Use of Combined Ingredients to Address Acne Prone Skin
Using combined treatments can help manage acne by targeting the bacteria and skin changes that cause it.
research Illuminating Microflora: Shedding Light on the Potential of Blue Light to Modulate the Cutaneous Microbiome
Blue light might help treat skin conditions by affecting the skin's bacteria.
research Evaluation of Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo Through In Vitro Activity in Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells and Sensorial Study
The anti-hair loss shampoo effectively promotes hair growth and improves hair quality.
research Decoding Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and Lichen Planopilaris: Macrophages Hold the Key?
Macrophages are more involved in Lichen planopilaris than in Frontal fibrosing alopecia.
research Identification of Two Distinct Stem Cell Clusters, Lrig1-Derived and Wnt/CD44-Dependent, in Corneal Epithelium
The conclusion is that the cornea has two types of stem cells, with Lrig1+ cells being key for renewal in aging corneas, independent of CD44.
research Cell of Origin Contributes to Melanoma Diversity
Different types of stem cells in the skin contribute to the variety of melanoma forms.
research PPAR-γ Modulation as a Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Scarring Alopecia
A new treatment using AGED to modulate PPAR-γ shows promise for treating scarring hair loss by protecting and repairing hair follicle cells.
research Molecular Mechanisms of Donor Dominance in Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair pattern in androgenetic alopecia overlaps with scalp and bone demarcations, with distinct gene profiles affecting susceptibility.
research Molecular Dissection of Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions in the Hair Follicle
Understanding gene expression in hair follicles can reveal insights into hair growth and disorders.
research Imaging of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle Penetration in Human Skin In Vitro and In Vivo
Zinc oxide nanoparticles in sunscreen do not penetrate deep into the skin.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Alopecia Areata: Overview and Treatment Options
Alopecia areata causes hair loss, has no cure, and various treatments exist.
research Postinflammatory Hyperpigmentation: A Common but Troubling Condition
Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation causes dark skin patches and needs personalized treatment.
research Treatments for Androgenetic Alopecia and Alopecia Areata
Minoxidil and finasteride treat hair loss; more research needed for other options.
research Identifying Novel Strategies for Treating Human Hair Loss Disorders: Cyclosporine A Suppresses the Wnt Inhibitor, SFRP1, in the Dermal Papilla of Human Scalp Hair Follicles
Cyclosporine A may help treat hair loss by blocking a protein that inhibits hair growth.
research Adipose-Derived Cellular and Cell-Derived Regenerative Therapies in Dermatology and Aesthetic Rejuvenation
Fat from the body can help improve hair growth and scars when used in skin treatments.
research EdnrB Governs Regenerative Response of Melanocyte Stem Cells by Crosstalk with Wnt Signaling
EdnrB signaling helps melanocyte stem cells regenerate and could be targeted to treat pigmentation issues.
research Normal Hair Growth in Children
Children's hair grows in different types from before birth through puberty, with growth rates and characteristics varying by age, sex, and race.
research Hair Disorders in Patients with Cancer
Cancer treatments often cause hair disorders, significantly affecting patients' quality of life, and better management methods are needed.
research Dermatologic Manifestations of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection
HIV can cause unusual and severe skin problems that are hard to treat.
research Post-Transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation, and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
research Adverse Cutaneous Reactions to Mood Stabilizers
Mood stabilizers can cause serious skin reactions; careful monitoring and immediate treatment are crucial.
research Circulatory Changes in Alopecia
