research Expression of Lipid-Protein Gene PLP2 in Liaoning Cashmere Goat
The PLP2 gene affects cashmere fiber quality in goats and is linked to hair growth and loss.
research Detecting the Mechanism Behind the Transition from Fixed Two-Dimensional Patterned Sika Deer (Cervus Nippon) Dermal Papilla Cells to Three-Dimensional Pattern
The study concluded that changing the culture conditions can cause sika deer skin cells to switch from a flat to a 3D pattern, which is important for creating hair follicles.
research Etiopathogenesis of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, influenced by genetics, environment, and possibly improved by anti-MIF therapy, with many patients experiencing regrowth within a year.
research Alopecia Areata: The Clinician and Patient Voice
Alopecia areata causes unpredictable hair loss and emotional distress, with no cure and limited treatment options.
research Neural Crest Cells Give Rise to Non-Myogenic Mesenchymal Tissue in the Adult Murid Ear Pinna
Certain cells in the adult mouse ear come from cranial neural crest cells, but muscle and hair cells do not.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Update on Etiology
AGA, a common hair loss, is caused by genetics, hormones, age, and environmental factors.
research American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery - 2018 Late-Breaking Abstracts
New treatments and technologies in laser medicine show promise for improving skin conditions, fat reduction, cancer treatment, wound healing, and hair restoration.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Transplantation of Melanocyte Stem Cells in Vitiliginous Skin
Transplanting melanocyte stem cells from hair follicles can effectively treat vitiligo.
research Stem Cell Therapy in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Review of Dermatology Literature from 2012 to 2022
Stem cell therapy shows promise for treating hair loss in androgenetic alopecia.
research A Human Prenatal Skin Cell Atlas Reveals Immune Cell Regulation of Skin Morphogenesis
Immune cells are essential for early hair and skin development and healing.
research Transcriptome Dynamics Reveal Stage-Specific and Melatonin-Triggered Gene Expression Patterns During the Cashmere Growth Cycle in Capra Hircus
Melatonin affects certain genes and pathways involved in cashmere goat hair growth.
research In Focus In HCB: The Role Of Cholesterol Transporter Proteins In The Human Hair Cycle, The Epithelial-To-Mesenchymal Transition And Primary Cilia In Urothelial Cancers, The Impact Of Ovarian Hormones And Choriogonadotropin On Endometrial Cell Polarity Before Implantation, And The Effects Of Epidermal Maturation And UV-Irradiation On The Protein rCLCA2 In Rodent Keratinocytes And Skin
The May issue discussed publishing agreements and four studies on cholesterol in hair, cancer cell changes, hormones in the uterus, and skin protein effects.
research Deletion of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Prolyl 4-Hydroxylase 2 in FoxD1-Lineage Mesenchymal Cells Leads to Congenital Truncal Alopecia
Removing a specific gene in certain skin cells causes hair loss on the body by disrupting normal hair development.
research Centrosomes Are Required for the Normal Development of the Skin Epithelium
Centrosomes are essential for healthy skin and hair growth, and their role is different from that of cilia.
research Trichotillomania and Traction Alopecia
Hair pulling disorder is treated with therapy and medication; hair loss from tension can be reversed if caught early.
research Dermatologic Care of the Transgender Patient
Hormonal therapy changes skin and hair in transgender patients, who need better researched dermatologic care.
research Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
research In This Issue
Advancements in hair biology include new treatments and tools for hair growth and alopecia.
research Hirsutism: From Brazil to a Place Near You
No treatment fully stops excessive hair growth in women, but various methods can help manage it effectively.
research Lasers in Dermatology: Advances and Applications
Lasers have become safer and more effective for treating skin problems and hair removal.
research Investigational Medications in the Treatment of Alopecia
New treatments for hair loss are being developed using molecular biology.
research Medical-Cosmetic Devices for Home Use: Present and Future Considerations
Home-use medical-cosmetic devices like lasers for hair removal may be convenient but need more research to confirm safety and effectiveness.
research Comment on ‘Androgenetic Alopecia Is Associated with Increased Scalp Hardness’: Role of Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors?
Drugs like PDEI may help hair disorders like AGA.
research Sebum Production: Analysis, Impact, and Measurement Methods
Sebum production varies by individual and is influenced by age, gender, and hormones, affecting skin and hair health.
research Overactive Bladder in Men: Finasteride for Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride increases hair count and improves hair growth with low risk of side effects.
research Molecular Mechanisms of Androgenetic Alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma for Androgenetic Alopecia
PRP injections improve hair thickness for baldness.
research Is Androgenetic Alopecia a Photoaggravated Dermatosis?
