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 Male Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Cyclic Dynamics of Hair Follicles and the Effect of Minoxidil on the Bald Scalps of Stumptailed Macaques
Minoxidil helps grow longer, thicker hair in bald scalps of stumptailed macaques, and early treatment is more effective.
research Bacteria Induce Skin Regeneration via IL-1β Signaling
Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
research Mechanisms of Hepatocyte Attachment to Keratin Biomaterials
Human liver cells stick to hair protein materials mainly through the liver's asialoglycoprotein receptor.
research Dermatologic Manifestations of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection
HIV can cause unusual and severe skin problems that are hard to treat.
research Jaw Wiring in Treatment of Obesity
Jaw wiring helps with weight loss but long-term habits are needed to keep it off.
research BLIMP1 Is Required for Postnatal Epidermal Homeostasis but Does Not Define a Sebaceous Gland Progenitor Under Steady-State Conditions
BLIMP1 is essential for skin maintenance but not for defining sebaceous gland progenitors.
research Treatment of Male Pattern Baldness with Botulinum Toxin: A Pilot Study
Botox increased hair count in men with baldness and might work by improving scalp blood flow.
research An Approach to the Patient with Hirsutism
The document concludes with guidance for doctors on diagnosing and treating hirsutism effectively and safely.
research Stem Cell-Derived Motor Neurons from Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy Patients
The study suggests that motor neurons created from stem cells of patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy show signs of the disease, including changes in protein levels and cell functions.
research Cultured Human and Rat Tooth Papilla Cells Induce Hair Follicle Regeneration and Fiber Growth
Tooth papilla cells can help regenerate hair follicles and grow hair.
research The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Evolutionary Paradox: A Genome-Wide Association Studies-Based, In Silico, Evolutionary Explanation
The research suggests that the global distribution of PCOS is likely due to historical human migration and that genes affecting PCOS may have different impacts on males and females.
research A Nude Mouse Model of Hypertrophic Scar Shows Morphologic and Histologic Characteristics of Human Hypertrophic Scar
Nude mice with grafted human skin developed scars similar to human hypertrophic scars.
research Overexpression of Bcl-2 Protects from Ultraviolet B-Induced Apoptosis but Promotes Hair Follicle Regression and Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Bcl-2 overexpression protects against UVB damage but worsens hair loss from chemotherapy.
research Sustained Release of Dermal Papilla-Derived Extracellular Vesicles from Injectable Microgel Promotes Hair Growth
Injecting a special gel with human protein particles can help hair grow.
research Melatonin Promotes Secondary Hair Follicle Development in Early Postnatal Cashmere Goats and Improves Cashmere Quantity and Quality by Enhancing Antioxidant Capacity and Suppressing Apoptosis
Melatonin improves cashmere goat hair growth and quality by increasing antioxidants and reducing cell death.
research Conditional Activin Receptor Type 1B (Acvr1b) Knockout Mice Reveal Hair Loss Abnormality
Disrupting Acvr1b in mice causes severe hair loss and thicker skin.
research Adaptations in the Structure and Innervation of Follicle-Sinus Complexes to an Aquatic Environment as Seen in the Florida Manatee (Trichechus Manatus Latirostris)
Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.
research Low-Level Laser Therapy for the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia in Thai Men and Women: A 24-Week, Randomized, Double-Blind, Sham Device-Controlled Trial
LLLT promotes hair growth and improves hair density safely in men and women.
research Gelatin-Chondroitin-6-Sulfate-Hyaluronic Acid Scaffold Seeded with Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor 165 Modified Hair Follicle Stem Cells as a Three-Dimensional Skin Substitute
Modified rat stem cells on a special scaffold improved blood vessel formation and wound healing in skin substitutes.
research FGFR2 Is Associated With Hair Thickness In Asian Populations
A gene variation is linked to hair thickness in Asians.
research Hair Bundle Defects and Loss of Function in the Vestibular End Organs of Mice Lacking the Receptor-Like Inositol Lipid Phosphatase PTPRQ
Mutations in the PTPRQ gene cause significant balance issues in mice due to hair bundle defects in the inner ear.
research Permeant Lipophilicity and Vehicle Composition Influence Accumulation of Dyes in Hair Follicles of Human Skin
Lipophilic dyes accumulate more in hair follicles when delivered with surfactant-propylene glycol solutions.
research A Randomized, Double-Blind Controlled Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Topical Solution of 0.25% Finasteride Admixed with 3% Minoxidil vs. 3% Minoxidil Solution in the Treatment of Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride and minoxidil mix works better for hair growth than minoxidil alone, with similar safety.
research Hair Morphogenesis In Vitro: Formation of Hair Structures Suitable for Implantation
Scientists created early-stage hairs from mouse cells that grew into normal, pigmented hair when implanted into other mice.
research Toxicological Studies with the Hypotensive Agent Minoxidil
Minoxidil is mostly safe, but high doses can cause electrolyte imbalances and heart issues in dogs.
research Transient Mitochondrial DNA Double Strand Breaks in Mice Cause Accelerated Aging Phenotypes in a ROS-Dependent but p53/p21-Independent Manner
Damaging mitochondrial DNA in mice speeds up aging due to increased reactive oxygen species, not through the p53/p21 pathway.
research Analysis of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 Receptors in Basal Cell Carcinomas
Basal cell carcinomas have much higher levels of Vitamin D3 receptors compared to healthy skin.
