research Hair Follicle Stem Cells: Walking the Maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research Androgens and Alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.
research What Does the Concept of the Stem Cell Niche Really Mean Today?
Stem cell niches support, regulate, and coordinate stem cell functions.
research The Role of Scalp Dermoscopy in the Diagnosis of Alopecia Areata Incognita
Scalp dermoscopy is good for diagnosing a type of hair loss and helps choose the best spots for biopsy.
research Molecular Mechanisms of Viral Oncogenesis in Humans
Some viruses can cause cancer by changing cell processes and avoiding the immune system; vaccines and targeted treatments help reduce these cancers.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Stem Cells
TGF-β signaling is crucial for stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and has implications for cancer treatment.
research Regulatory T Cells: The Many Faces of Foxp3
Foxp3 is crucial for regulatory T cell function, and targeting these cells may help treat immune disorders.
research Minoxidil Stimulates Mouse Vibrissae Follicles in Organ Culture
Minoxidil can help grow hair in mice by making cells grow and improving hair quality. More research needed.
research Psychological Effect, Pathophysiology, and Management of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
Minoxidil and finasteride can slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth, but won't restore all lost hair or reverse complete baldness.
research Quantitative Single-Cell Approaches to Stem Cell Research
New single-cell analysis techniques are improving our understanding of stem cells and could help in treating diseases.
research Pharmacology of Antiandrogens
Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.
research Hair Evaluation Methods: Merits and Demerits
Different hair evaluation methods have their own pros and cons, and using multiple methods together is best for accurate hair loss diagnosis and tracking.
research Epidermal Stem Cells and Skin Tissue Engineering in Hair Follicle Regeneration
Hair follicle regeneration needs special conditions and young cells.
research VP-16-213 (Etoposide): The Mandrake Root from Issyk-Kul
Etoposide is effective in treating several cancers, especially small cell lung cancer, with acceptable side effects.
research Permanent Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Some chemotherapy can cause permanent hair loss.
research Approach to the Adult Female Patient with Diffuse Nonscarring Alopecia
The document concludes that careful evaluation is key to diagnose and treat women with hair loss, with tests for thyroid, iron, and hormones as needed.
research Perspectives of Kennedy's Disease
Kennedy's disease leads to muscle weakness and sensory issues, has no cure but manageable symptoms, and future treatments look promising.
research Evidence That the Satin Hair Mutant Gene Foxq1 Is Among Multiple and Functionally Diverse Regulatory Targets for Hoxc13 During Hair Follicle Differentiation
The gene Foxq1, controlled by Hoxc13, is crucial for hair follicle differentiation.
research Lamins in Development, Tissue Maintenance, and Stress
Lamins are vital for cell survival, organ development, and preventing premature aging.
research Compartmentalized Organization: A Common and Required Feature of Stem Cell Niches?
Compartmentalized organization might be crucial for stem cells to effectively respond to growth or injury.
research Permanent Alopecia After Systemic Chemotherapy: A Clinicopathological Study of 10 Cases
Chemotherapy can cause permanent, non-reversible hair loss similar to pattern baldness.
research Effects of Dermatological Medications on Male Fertility
Some dermatological medications can impair male fertility, so consult a doctor before trying to conceive.
research Prolactin Delays Hair Regrowth in Mice
Prolactin slows down hair growth in mice.
research Alopecia Secondary to Mesotherapy
Some people experienced hair loss after mesotherapy treatments for hair loss.
research Skin Physiology in Microgravity: A 3-Month Stay Aboard ISS Induces Dermal Atrophy and Affects Cutaneous Muscle and Hair Follicles Cycling in Mice
A 3-month stay in space causes skin thinning, disrupts hair growth, and changes muscle-related genes in mice.
research Localization of Minoxidil Sulfotransferase in Rat Liver and the Outer Root Sheath of Anagen Pelage and Vibrissa Follicles
Minoxidil works in liver and outer hair root sheath for hair growth.
research Malignancy and Cancer Treatment-Related Hair and Nail Changes
