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 The Hair Follicle as a Dynamic Mini-Organ
Hair follicles are complex, dynamic mini-organs that help us understand cell growth, death, migration, and differentiation, as well as tissue regeneration and tumor biology.
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 The Cycling Hair Follicle as an Ideal Systems Biology Research Model
The hair follicle is a great model for research to improve hair growth treatments.
research Regulation of Hair Follicle Growth and Development by Different Alternative Spliceosomes of FGF5 in Rabbits
FGF5 spliceosomes inhibit rabbit hair growth by affecting gene expression.
research Single Follicular Unit Transplantation Reconstructs Arrector Pili Muscle and Nerve Connections and Restores Functional Hair Follicle Piloerection
Hair transplant surgery can rebuild muscle and nerve connections, allowing transplanted hairs to stand up like normal hairs.
research Hair Graying Regulators Beyond Hair Follicle
Hair graying is influenced by factors like nerves, fat cells, and immune cells, not just hair follicles.
research Anatomy and Physiology of Hair
Hair is important for protection, social interaction, and temperature control, and is made of a growth cycle-influenced follicle and a complex shaft.
research Neuroendocrine Perspectives in Alopecia Areata: Does Stress Play a Role?
Stress might contribute to hair loss in alopecia areata.
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 The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor Beta 2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research Hair Loss and Hirsutism in the Elderly
Many elderly women experience unwanted facial hair and various hair loss conditions, with treatments available for each condition.
research A Contemporary View on Felix Pinkus’ Concept of the Vitreous Membrane
The vitreous membrane in hair follicles changes shape during the hair cycle and may affect hair growth and nutrient exchange.
research Stress Inhibits Hair Growth in Mice by Inducing Premature Catagen Development and Harmful Perifollicular Inflammatory Events via Neuropeptide Substance P-Dependent Pathways
Stress stops hair growth in mice by causing early hair growth phase end and harmful inflammation through a specific nerve-related pathway.
research Clinical Presentations of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata causes varying hair loss patterns, affecting hair, nails, and possibly glands, with treatment outcomes depending on disease duration and extent.
research Stress Exposure Modulates Peptidergic Innervation and Degranulates Mast Cells in Murine Skin
Stress increases nerve fibers and immune cell activity in mouse skin, possibly worsening skin conditions.
research Three-Dimensional Reconstructions of Mechanosensory End Organs Suggest a Unifying Mechanism Underlying Dynamic, Light Touch
Dynamic, light touch is sensed through a common mechanism involving Piezo2 channels in sensory axons.
research Valproic Acid Promotes Human Hair Growth in In Vitro Culture Model
Valproic acid may help hair grow and could be a safe treatment for hair loss.
research Adult Epidermal Notch Activity Induces Dermal Accumulation of T Cells and Neural Crest Derivatives Through Upregulation of Jagged 1
Activating Notch in adult skin causes T cells and neural crest cells to gather, leading to skin issues.
research The Itchy Scalp: Scratching for an Explanation
Scalp itching is common and hard to diagnose due to the complex nerve structure of the scalp.
research ELife Assessment: Touch Receptor End-Organ Innervation and Function Require Sensory Neuron Expression of the Transcription Factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve connection to touch receptors in certain skin areas of mice.
research Neuronal Plasticity of the Brain-Skin Connection: Stress-Triggered Up-Regulation of Neuropeptides in Dorsal Root Ganglia and Skin via Nerve Growth Factor-Dependent Pathways
Stress increases certain chemicals in the skin and nerves, which might worsen skin conditions.
research A Subpopulation of Itch-Sensing Neurons Marked by Ret and Somatostatin Expression
Scientists found a specific group of itch-sensing nerve cells in mice important for feeling itch but not for sensing heat or touch.
research The Structure and Organization of Lanceolate Mechanosensory Complexes at Mouse Hair Follicles
Lanceolate complexes in mouse hair follicles are essential for touch and depend on specific cells for maintenance and regeneration.
research The Human Hair: From Anatomy to Physiology
