Targeting the PGD2-DP2 pathway may help treat hair loss.
research Prostaglandin D2 Inhibits Hair Growth and Is Elevated in Bald Scalp of Men With Androgenetic Alopecia
Prostaglandin D2, found in higher levels in bald scalps, stops hair growth and could be a target for treating hair loss.
research Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution
Some people with pattern hair loss may also have scalp inflammation and scarring similar to lichen planopilaris.
research Telogen Effluvium: Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Telogen effluvium is a common type of hair loss that can resolve on its own or become chronic, with treatment depending on early diagnosis.
research Vitamin D and the Skin: Focus on a Complex Relationship
Vitamin D is important for skin health and may affect conditions like psoriasis and hair loss, but more research is needed to understand its role fully.
research Hormone Replacement Therapy and the Skin
Estrogen replacement can improve skin health in menopausal women but doesn't reverse sun damage or prevent hair loss.
research Learning From Nudity: Lessons From The Nude Phenotype
The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Epidermal Patterning and Induction of Different Hair Types During Mouse Embryonic Development
Different body areas in mice produce different hair types due to interactions between skin layers.
research Targeted Skin Overexpression of the Mineralocorticoid Receptor in Mice Causes Epidermal Atrophy, Premature Skin Barrier Formation, Eye Abnormalities, and Alopecia
Overexpressing the mineralocorticoid receptor in mouse skin causes skin thinning, early skin barrier development, eye issues, and hair loss.
research Emerging Nonmetabolic Functions of Skin Fat
Skin fat has important roles in hair growth, skin repair, immune defense, and aging, and could be targeted for skin and hair treatments.
research Spermidine Promotes Human Hair Growth and Is a Novel Modulator of Human Epithelial Stem Cell Functions
Spermidine may help reduce hair loss and deserves further testing as a treatment.
research Transcriptional Profiling in Alopecia Areata Defines Immune and Cell Cycle Control Related Genes Within Disease-Specific Signatures
The study found that immune responses disrupt hair growth cycles, causing hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Effect of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone on Apoptosis in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.
research Choreographing Immunity in the Skin Epithelial Barrier
The document concludes that the skin's immune system is complex, involving interactions with hair follicles, nerves, and microbes, and can protect or cause disease, offering targets for new treatments.
research Clock Genes, Hair Growth, and Aging
Circadian clock genes are important for hair growth and may affect aging-related hair loss and graying.
research Relation of Skin Polyamines to the Hairless Phenotype in Transgenic Mice Overexpressing Spermidine/Spermine N1-Acetyltransferase
Excessive putrescine causes hair loss in transgenic mice by disrupting hair follicle development.
research Expression of Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors (PPARs) in Human Hair Follicles and PPARα Involvement in Hair Growth
PPAR alpha may help in hair growth and could be a target for treatment.
research The Androgen Receptor Antagonizes Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Epidermal Stem Cells
Androgen receptor activity blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, affecting hair growth and skin cell balance.
research Hirsutism: Evaluation and Treatment
Excessive hair growth can be assessed by history, exam, and blood tests, and treated with medication like dexamethasone, birth control pills, and spironolactone.
research Coactivator MED1 Ablation in Keratinocytes Results in Hair-Cycling Defects and Epidermal Alterations
Deleting MED1 in skin cells causes hair loss and skin changes.
research Differences in Expression of Specific Biomarkers Distinguish Human Beard from Scalp Dermal Papilla Cells
Beard and scalp hair cells have different gene expressions, which may affect beard growth characteristics.
research Hair Regrowth Following Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in an Elderly Patient with Alopecia Areata: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
An elderly man's hair grew back after a treatment that transferred healthy gut bacteria.
research Targeting of CXXC5 by a Competing Peptide Stimulates Hair Regrowth and Wound-Induced Hair Neogenesis
Blocking a protein called CXXC5 with a specific peptide can stimulate hair regrowth and new hair growth in wounds.
research Single-Cell Transcriptomic Analysis of Small and Large Wounds Reveals the Distinct Spatial Organization of Regenerative Fibroblasts
Different types of skin cells are organized in a special way in large wounds to help with healing and hair growth.
research Alopecia Areata: Current Situation and Perspectives
Alopecia Areata is a complex, unpredictable autoimmune hair loss condition with limited treatment options and a significant psychological impact.
research Patients With a Large Prostate Show a Higher Prevalence of Androgenetic Alopecia
Large prostate links to more hair loss, but age of onset doesn't affect it.
research An Ovol2-Zeb1 Transcriptional Circuit Regulates Epithelial Directional Migration and Proliferation
The Ovol2-Zeb1 circuit is crucial for skin healing and hair growth by guiding cell movement and growth.
