research Hirsutism and the Variable Response of the Pilosebaceous Unit to Androgens
Different women's hair and skin glands respond to hormones in varied ways, which can cause unwanted hair growth even with normal hormone levels, and more research is needed to treat this effectively.
research Apoptotic Cells Represent a Dynamic Stem Cell Niche Governing Proliferation and Tissue Regeneration
Dying cells can help with faster healing and new hair growth by releasing a growth-promoting molecule.
research Atrichia With Papular Lesions Resulting From a Novel Insertion Mutation in the Human Hairless Gene
Researchers found a new mutation causing total hair loss from birth.
research FGF9 for Baldness
Increasing the levels of a protein called FGF9 can promote hair growth, but humans may not respond the same way due to a lack of certain cells.
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 Two Mouse Mutations Mapped to Chromosome 11 with Differing Morphologies but Similar Progressive Inflammatory Alopecia
Two mouse mutations cause similar hair loss despite different skin changes.
research Human Skin Stem Cells and the Aging Process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Epithelial Skin Biology: Stem Cells and Epidermal Homeostasis
The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.
research Regeneration of Skin Appendages and Nerves: Current Status and Further Challenges
Progress has been made in skin and nerve regeneration, but more research is needed to improve methods and ensure safety.
research Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) and PPAR Agonists: The Future in Dermatology Therapeutics?
PPAR agonists show promise for skin conditions but need more research before being a main treatment.
research Multi-Tasking Epidermal Stem Cells: Beyond Epidermal Maintenance
Epidermal stem cells have various roles in skin beyond just maintenance, including forming specialized structures and aiding in skin repair and regeneration.
research Glycine Inhibits Melanogenesis in Vitro and Causes Hypopigmentation in Vivo
Glycine reduces skin pigmentation by lowering melanin production.
research Multipotent Neural Crest Stem Cell-Like Cells from Rat Vibrissa Dermal Papilla Induce Neuronal Differentiation of PC12 Cells
Rat whisker cells can help turn other cells into nerve cells and might be used to treat brain injuries or diseases.
research Canonical and Non-Canonical Wnt Signaling Control the Regeneration of Amputated Rodent Vibrissae Follicles
Both main and alternative Wnt signaling are important for regrowing rodent whisker follicles.
research Wound Healing in Development: Mechanisms and Regulation
Wounds heal without scarring in early development but later result in scars, and studying Wnt signaling could help control scarring.
research Localization of Members of the Notch System and the Differentiation of Vibrissa Hair Follicles: Receptors, Ligands, and Fringe Modulators
Notch-related genes play a key role in the development and cycling of hair follicles.
research Isolation and Quantification of Glycosaminoglycans from Human Hair Shaft
Human hair contains more glycosaminoglycans in children than adults, and these compounds decrease with age, possibly affecting hair thickness.
research Modulation of Hair Growth with Small Molecule Agonists of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway
Applying a special compound can promote hair growth without harmful side effects.
research Wnt1a Maintains Characteristics of Dermal Papilla Cells That Induce Mouse Hair Regeneration in a 3D Preculture System
Wnt1a helps keep cells that can grow hair effective for potential hair loss treatments.
research Multi-Layered Environmental Regulation on the Homeostasis of Stem Cells: The Saga of Hair Growth and Alopecia
Environmental factors at different levels control hair stem cell activity, which could lead to new hair growth and alopecia treatments.
research Neurogenic Inflammation in Stress-Induced Termination of Murine Hair Growth Is Promoted by Nerve Growth Factor
Stress increases a factor in mice that leads to hair loss, and blocking this factor may prevent it.
research Self-Organization Process in Newborn Skin Organoid Formation Inspires Strategy to Restore Hair Regeneration of Adult Cells
Newborn mouse skin cells can grow hair and this process can be recreated in adult cells to potentially help with hair loss.
research Pattern Hair Loss in Men: Diagnosis, Genetic Link, Clinical Features, and Treatments
Male pattern hair loss caused by follicular miniaturization; early diagnosis and treatment can reduce psychological burden.
research Androgens Trigger Different Growth Responses in Genetically Identical Human Hair Follicles in Organ Culture Reflecting Their Epigenetic Diversity in Life
Male hormones cause different growth in identical human hair follicles due to their unique epigenetic characteristics.
research Investigation of Four Novel Male Androgenetic Alopecia Susceptibility Loci: No Association with Female Pattern Hair Loss
No link found between new male baldness genes and female hair loss.
research Mechanistic Synergy of Hair Growth Promotion by the Avicennia Marina Extract and Its Active Constituent Avicequinone C in Dermal Papilla Cells Isolated From Androgenic Alopecia Patients
Avicennia marina extract and avicequinone C can potentially promote hair growth and treat hair loss by interfering with hair loss mechanisms and boosting growth factors.
research Genetic Basis of Skin Appendage Development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research Pitx2, A β-Catenin-Regulated Transcription Factor, Regulates The Differentiation Of Outer Root Sheath Cells Cultured In Vitro
Pitx2 helps outer root sheath cells differentiate but can't start hair growth on its own.
research Autologous Micrografts from Scalp Tissue: Trichoscopic and Long-Term Clinical Evaluation in Male and Female Androgenetic Alopecia
