30-60 / 1000+ results research Expression of Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Thyroid Axis Related Genes in Human Skin
Thyroid-related genes are active in skin cells and may affect autoimmune conditions.
research Hair Cycle and Hair Pigmentation: Dynamic Interactions and Changes Associated with Aging
As people age, their hair follicles produce less pigment, leading to gray and white hair, due to factors like reduced enzyme activity and damage to melanocyte DNA.
research Melanocyte and Gonad Activity as Potential Severity Modifying Factors in C3H/HeJ Mouse Alopecia Areata
Gonadal hormones significantly affect the severity of alopecia areata in mice.
research Overexpression of Hepatoma-Derived Growth Factor in Melanocytes Does Not Lead to Oncogenic Transformation
Overexpression of HDGF in melanocytes does not cause cancer.
research Segmental Vitiligo: Characteristics, Treatment, and Prognosis
Segmental Vitiligo is a stable, early-onset form of vitiligo that responds well to early treatment and is ideal for repigmentation studies.
research P21Waf1/Cip1 Is Differentially Expressed in Epidermal Versus Follicular Melanocytes and Melanoma Cells and Is Phenotypically Regulated by UVB-Mediated Apoptosis
The protein p21 is more abundant in normal skin cells than in melanoma cells and may help protect against melanoma, with UVB light affecting its levels.
research Complications and Limitations of Melanocyte Transplantation
Melanocyte transplantation can safely restore skin color, especially in stable vitiligo, but must be chosen carefully based on the disease phase.
research Transplantation of Melanocyte Stem Cells in Vitiliginous Skin
Transplanting melanocyte stem cells from hair follicles can effectively treat vitiligo.
research Pigmentation Effect of Rice Bran Extract in Hair Follicle-Like Tissue and Organ Culture Models
Rice bran extract boosts melanin production in hair follicles.
research Molecular Dissection of Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions in the Hair Follicle
Understanding gene expression in hair follicles can reveal insights into hair growth and disorders.
research Hair Follicle Melanogenesis Reflected in Hair Pigmentation as a Developmental Factor in Alopecia Areata
Hair color is not a risk factor for developing alopecia areata.
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 Biology of the Hair Follicle: The Basics
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle biology can lead to better hair loss treatments.
research Noggin Is Required for Induction of the Hair Follicle Growth Phase in Postnatal Skin
Noggin is necessary to start the hair growth phase in skin after birth.
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 Neuroendocrinology of the Hair Follicle: Principles and Clinical Perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
research A Neuroendocrinological Perspective on Human Hair Follicle Pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research Plasticity and Cytokinetic Dynamics of the Hair Follicle Mesenchyme During the Hair Growth Cycle: Implications for Growth Control and Hair Follicle Transformations
Disruptions in hair follicle fibroblast dynamics can cause hair growth problems.
research Modulating Hair Follicle Size with Wnt10b/DKK1 During Hair Regeneration
Wnt10b makes hair follicles bigger, but DKK1 can reverse this effect.
research Design of a Biofluid-Absorbing Bioactive Sandwich-Structured Zn–Si Bioceramic Composite Wound Dressing for Hair Follicle Regeneration and Skin Burn Wound Healing
Wound dressing absorbs fluid, regenerates hair follicles, and heals skin burns.
research Heparan Sulfate Regulates Hair Follicle and Sebaceous Gland Morphogenesis and Homeostasis
Heparan sulfate is important for hair growth, preventing new hair formation in mature skin, and controlling oil gland development.
research Neuroendocrinology of Epithelial Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Hormones and neuroendocrine factors control hair growth and color, and more research could lead to new hair treatment options.
research Aging in Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Niche Microenvironment
Aging in hair follicle stem cells leads to hair graying, thinning, and loss.
