research Inherited Disorders of the Hair
The document explains the genetic causes and characteristics of inherited hair disorders.
research Stem Cells in the Hair Follicle and Interfollicular Epidermis of Mice Following Topical Application of Fluocinolone Acetonide
Fluocinolone acetonide slows down hair follicle stem cells but speeds up skin cell growth in mice.
research Drug Permeation Through Hair Follicles: Importance and Potential
Hair follicles are important for drug delivery through the skin, but better methods are needed to understand and improve this process.
research Hair Changes Due to Drugs
Some drugs can cause reversible hair loss, but certain chemotherapy drugs may lead to permanent hair loss; drugs can also change hair color and texture.
research Central Hair Loss in African American Women: Incidence and Potential Risk Factors
Some African American women experience central scalp hair loss, often linked to a history of fungal scalp infection.
research Secondary Cicatricial and Other Permanent Alopecias
The document concludes that permanent hair loss conditions are complex, require early specific treatments, and "secondary permanent alopecias" might be a more accurate term than "secondary cicatricial alopecia."
research Diagnostic Dilemma: Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome Versus Incomplete Graham-Little-Piccardi-Lassueur Syndrome Overlap Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
The case shows how hard it is to tell apart Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome from other similar autoimmune conditions, but correct diagnosis is key for treatment to work.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Stem Cell Dynamics, Migration, and Plasticity During Wound Healing
Stem cells help heal skin wounds by moving and changing roles, working with other cells, and needing more research on their activation and behavior.
research Epithelial Wnt Ligand Secretion Is Required for Adult Hair Follicle Growth and Regeneration
Wnt ligands are crucial for hair growth and repair.
research Caffeine’s Mechanisms of Action and Its Cosmetic Use
Caffeine in cosmetics may reduce cellulite, protect skin, and stimulate hair growth, but more research is needed on its use and effects.
research Minoxidil Use in Dermatology, Side Effects, and Recent Patents
Minoxidil treats hair loss, promotes growth, has side effects, and has recent patents.
research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.
research Theoretical Considerations in Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal effectiveness depends on targeting hair structures without harming the skin, and improvements require more research and expert collaboration.
research Transfollicular Drug Delivery: Is It a Reality?
Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.
research Hair Anatomy for the Clinician
Understanding hair follicle anatomy helps diagnose hair disorders.
research Epithelial Integrity Is Maintained by a Matriptase-Dependent Proteolytic Pathway
Matriptase is crucial for keeping epithelial tissues healthy and functioning properly.
research Oxidative Stress in Aging of Hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research Extracellular Vesicles Derived from MSCs Activate Dermal Papilla Cells In Vitro and Promote Hair Follicle Conversion from Telogen to Anagen in Mice
Tiny particles from stem cells help activate hair growth cells and encourage hair growth in mice without being toxic.
research Melatonin and the Hair Follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research A Guide to Assessing Damage Response Pathways of the Hair Follicle: Lessons From Cyclophosphamide-Induced Alopecia in Mice
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.
research Hormonal Regulation of Hair Follicles Exhibits a Biological Paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research Growth Factors in Hair Organ Development and the Hair Growth Cycle
Growth factors are crucial for hair development and could help treat hair diseases.
