Thyrotropin-releasing hormone may help control skin and hair growth and could aid in treating related disorders.
research Androgen Metabolism as It Affects Hair Growth in Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.
research Differentiation of Mouse Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells into a Multipotent Keratinocyte Lineage
Scientists turned mouse stem cells into skin cells that can grow into skin layers and structures.
research Psoriatic Alopecia
Psoriasis can cause temporary or permanent hair loss.
research The Use of Photodynamic Therapy for Treatment of Acne Vulgaris
Photodynamic Therapy is an effective treatment for mild to severe acne.
research Targeted Delivery of a Poorly Water-Soluble Compound to Hair Follicles Using Polymeric Nanoparticle Suspensions

research Tp63-Expressing Adult Epithelial Stem Cells Cross Lineage Boundaries Revealing Latent Hairy Skin Competence
Adult stem cells with Tp63 can form hair and skin cells when placed in new skin, showing they have hidden abilities for skin repair.
research Androgen Treatment in Women: A Review of Testosterone Therapy and Its Effects
Testosterone therapy can help improve sexual function, mood, and bone density in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on long-term safety.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
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 Sic Transit Gloria: Farewell to the Epidermal Transit Amplifying Cell?
New research suggests that skin cell renewal may not require a special type of cell previously thought to be essential.
research Transfollicular Drug Delivery: Is It a Reality?
Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.
research Acne, the Skin Microbiome, and Antibiotic Treatment
Antibiotics can reduce acne but may lead to resistant bacteria, and understanding the skin's bacteria is important for treatment.
research The Disintegrin/Metalloproteinase Adam10 Is Essential for Epidermal Integrity and Notch-Mediated Signaling
Adam10 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and proper Notch signaling.
research Hormones and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research WNT10A Mutation Causes Ectodermal Dysplasia by Impairing Progenitor Cell Proliferation and KLF4-Mediated Differentiation
A WNT10A gene mutation leads to ectodermal dysplasia by disrupting cell growth and differentiation.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Skin Epidermis
The skin protects the body and is constantly renewed by stem cells; disruptions can lead to cancer.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: An Autosomal Dominant Disorder
Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia is caused by genetic factors and androgen excess, and can be treated with combined therapies.
research Bioengineering a 3D Integumentary Organ System from iPS Cells Using an In Vivo Transplantation Model
Researchers created a fully functional, bioengineered skin system with hair from stem cells that successfully integrated when transplanted into mice.
research Pilosebaceous Physiology in Relation to Hirsutism and Acne
Male hormones are important for hair and oil gland development and can cause conditions like excessive hair growth and acne.
research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice
Prolactin affects when mice shed and grow hair.
research The Formation of Vellus Hair Follicles from Human Adult Epidermis
Adult human skin can grow new fine hair follicles after a deep exfoliation treatment.
research A Keratinocyte-Specific Epoxygenase, CYP2B12, Metabolizes Arachidonic Acid with Unusual Selectivity, Producing a Single Major Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acid
CYP2B12 enzyme in skin cells converts arachidonic acid into specific bioactive lipids.
research Female Hirsutism: Pathophysiological Considerations and Therapeutic Implications
Excessive hair growth in women often has no known cause and is not linked to race or other hormonal symptoms.
research Hair Follicles, Their Disorders, and Their Opportunities
Hair follicles offer promising targets for delivering drugs to treat hair and skin conditions.
research Vitamin D Receptor Is Required for Proliferation, Migration, and Differentiation of Epidermal Stem Cells and Progeny During Cutaneous Wound Repair
The vitamin D receptor is essential for skin stem cells to grow, move, and become different cell types needed for skin healing.
research Hair Growth Induction: Roles of Growth Factors
EGF and FGF help hair growth by affecting cell differentiation and fiber growth.
research Conversion of the Nipple to Hair-Bearing Epithelia by Lowering Bone Morphogenetic Protein Pathway Activity at the Dermal-Epidermal Interface
Blocking a specific protein signal can make hair grow on mouse nipples.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
