Beige and leaden pigment genes act within melanocytes, affecting pigment patterns.
research Keratin-Mediated Hair Growth and Its Underlying Biological Mechanism
Keratin injections can promote hair growth by affecting hair-forming cells and tissue development.
research A Review of the Etiologies, Clinical Characteristics, and Treatment of Canities
Gray hair is caused by reduced melanin production or transfer issues, linked to aging and possibly health conditions, with treatments focusing on color camouflage.
research Matricellular Proteins in the Homeostasis, Regeneration, and Aging of Skin
Special proteins are important for skin balance, healing, and aging, and affect skin stem cells.
research Complementary Evolution of Coding and Noncoding Sequence Underlies Mammalian Hairlessness
Hairless mammals have genetic changes in both their protein-coding and regulatory sequences related to hair.
research Therapeutic Effects of Growth Factor Cocktail (CellcurinTM) Containing FGF5s (Fibroblast Growth Factor 5 Short) and NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) in Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia: A Split Study
The growth factor cocktail significantly increased hair growth in patients with androgenetic alopecia.
research Expression of Foxi3 Is Regulated by Ectodysplasin in Skin Appendage Placodes
Foxi3 expression in developing teeth and hair is controlled by the ectodysplasin pathway.
research Genetic Basis of Skin Appendage Development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research Human Stem Cell Use in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Systematic Review
Stem cell treatments show promise for hair loss but need more research.
research Metal Chelation Assisted Deposition of Polydopamine on Human Hair: A Ready-to-Use Eumelanin-Based Hair Dyeing Methodology
Polydopamine is a safe, effective, and permanent hair dye that turns gray hair black in one hour.
research Blue Light in Dermatology
Blue light can help treat skin conditions like eczema and acne without major side effects.
research FC056 The Ideal Catagen of the Hair
Blocking IL-1 could help treat some hair loss conditions; alopecia affects liver detox systems; spironolactone is better than finasteride for female hair growth; focusing on the catagen hair phase could lead to new alopecia treatments.
research Fine Structure and Immunocytochemistry of Monotreme Hairs, with Emphasis on the Inner Root Sheath and Trichohyalin-Based Cornification During Hair Evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Female Androgenic Alopecia
Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.
research Future Directions in the Treatment of Vitiligo
New treatments for vitiligo may focus on protecting melanocyte stem cells from stress and targeting specific pathways involved in the condition.
research Age-Induced Hair Graying and Oxidative Stress
Gray hair is caused by oxidative stress damaging hair cells.
research Alopecia in IL-10-Deficient Mouse Pups Is c-Kit-Dependent and Can Be Triggered by Iron Deficiency
Hair loss in certain young mice is linked to a specific gene and can be caused by lack of iron.
research Association of Epidemiological and Biochemical Factors with Premature Graying of Hair: A Case-Control Study
Genetics and nutritional deficiencies are key factors in premature graying of hair.
research Skin-Specific Regulation of SREBP Processing and Lipid Biosynthesis by Glycerol Kinase 5
A gene called Gk5 controls lipid production in the skin and affects hair growth.
research Footprints of the EADV: A Meeting Report from the 17th Congress of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology
The conference highlighted new dermatological treatments and emphasized early intervention and addressing conditions lacking evidence-based treatments.
research Gender Differences in Production and Circulating Levels of Sex Hormones and Their Impact on Aging Skin
Men and women experience skin aging differently due to changes in sex hormone levels with age.
research Hirsutism and Virilization
Excessive hair growth in women can be harmless or signal serious health issues, and treatment often includes medication and hair removal, with noticeable results after 3-6 months.
research Topical RT1640 Treatment Effectively Reverses Gray Hair and Stem Cell Loss in a Mouse Model of Radiation-Induced Canities
RT1640 treatment reverses gray hair and promotes hair growth in mice.
research Costunolide: A Bioactive Sesquiterpene Lactone with Diverse Therapeutic Potential
Costunolide may have multiple health benefits, including promoting hair growth and protecting against cancer and diabetes, but more research is needed.
research Efficacy of an Agonist of α-MSH, the Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20, in Hair Pigmentation
Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 may help reduce hair greying and increase melanin production.
research Spatiotemporal Labeling of Melanocytes in Mice
The research showed how melanocytes develop, move, and respond to UV light, and their stem cells' role in hair color and skin cancer risk.
research Age-Related Hair Changes in Men: Mechanisms and Management of Alopecia and Graying
Men's hair loss is caused by hormones and genes, and can be treated with medication and surgery, while graying is due to aging and has no prevention except dyeing.
research Efficacy and Safety of Methotrexate in Alopecia Areata
