Researchers created five new human scalp cell lines that could be useful for hair growth and loss research.
research Androgenic Alopecia in Females: Diagnosis and Treatment
The document concludes that treating female hair loss should target reducing excess androgen and blocking its effects on hair follicles, with the best treatments being hormonal therapy, adrenal suppression, and topical minoxidil.
research Let-7b Promotes Alpaca Hair Growth via Transcriptional Repression of TGFβR I
Let-7b helps alpaca hair grow by reducing TGFβR I protein.
research Hair Growth-Promoting Effect of Resveratrol in Mice, Human Hair Follicles, and Dermal Papilla Cells
Resveratrol may help hair grow, but more research is needed.
research Tp63-Expressing Adult Epithelial Stem Cells Cross Lineage Boundaries Revealing Latent Hairy Skin Competence
Adult stem cells with Tp63 can form hair and skin cells when placed in new skin, showing they have hidden abilities for skin repair.
research Impact of mTORC1 Inhibition on Keratinocyte Proliferation During Skin Tumor Promotion in Wild-Type and BK5.AktWT Mice
Rapamycin reduces skin cell growth and tumor development by affecting cell signaling in mice.
research Cashmere Growth Control in Liaoning Cashmere Goat by Ovarian Carcinoma Immunoreactive Antigen-Like Protein 2 and Decorin Genes
OCIAD2 and DCN genes affect hair growth in goats by having opposite effects on a growth signaling pathway and inhibiting each other.
research Cutaneous Transcriptome Analysis in NIH Hairless Mice
Key genes linked to hair growth and cancer were identified in hairless mice.
research In Vitro Hair Growth Promoting Effect of a Noncrosslinked Hyaluronic Acid in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Noncrosslinked hyaluronic acid helps human hair cells grow and could be a potential hair loss treatment.
research Targeting Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells Plasticity for Tissue Regeneration
Adult mesenchymal stem cells can help regenerate tissues and are promising for healing bones, wounds, and hair follicles.
research Diffuse Hair Loss Associated With Hyperprolactinaemia: Report of Three Cases
High levels of prolactin in the blood can be linked to widespread hair loss.
research Effects of a Combination of Arginine Silicate Inositol Complex and a Novel Form of Biotin on Hair and Nail Growth in a Rodent Model
The combination of Arginine Silicate Inositol Complex and a new form of Biotin improved hair and nail growth in rats.
research Beta-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide Promotes Cell Proliferation and Hair Growth by Reducing Oxidative Stress
NMN could potentially treat hair loss by reducing oxidative stress and improving cell health.
research Folliculosebaceous Cystic Hamartoma With Spindle Cell Lipomatous And Neural Components
A woman had a unique skin growth with hair follicle, oil glands, fat cells, spindle cells, and nerve fibers.
research Autoimmune Alopecia Areata Due to Thymoma Without Myasthenia Gravis: A Case Report
A woman's hair loss improved after removing a tumor in her thymus gland, suggesting hair loss can be linked to such tumors even without a specific muscle weakness condition.
research QS8: Analysis of the Whole Transcriptome in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy and Breast Reconstruction
Radiation therapy in breast cancer patients changes gene expression related to DNA damage, fibroblast growth, and hair follicle development, which could help improve treatment for radiation-induced fibrosis.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research Targeting mTORC1 Suppresses Proliferation of Keratinocyte Stem Cells and Inhibits Skin Tumor Promotion in Mice
Blocking mTORC1 reduces skin tumor growth in mice.
