research Indications for Peripheral and Central Sensitization in Patients With Chronic Scalp Pain (Trichodynia)
Chronic scalp pain in trichodynia involves both body-wide and localized increased pain sensitivity.
research Simple and Rapid Method to Isolate and Culture Follicular Papillae from Human Scalp Hair Follicles
Researchers developed a quick and easy way to get and grow cells from the base of human hair follicles.
research Identification of Transcriptional Targets of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Dermal Papilla Cells of Human Scalp Hair Follicles: EP2 Is a Novel Transcriptional Target of Wnt3a
Wnt3a activates certain genes in hair follicle cells, including a newly discovered one, EP2, which may affect hair growth.
research Quantification of Hair Follicle Parameters Using Computer Image Analysis: A Comparison of Androgenetic Alopecia with Normal Scalp Biopsies
Hair follicles are smaller in people with androgenetic alopecia compared to those with normal scalps.
research Exploring the Brain-Skin Connection: Leads and Lessons from the Hair Follicle
Hair follicles on the scalp interact with and respond to the nervous system, influencing their own behavior and growth.
research The Role of Interface Geometry and Appendages on the Mesoscale Mechanics of the Skin
Skin's uneven surface and hair follicles affect its stress and strain but don't change its overall strength, and help prevent the skin from peeling apart.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Its Impact on Health
PCOS affects women's health by increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and reproductive issues.
research Potential Factors Contributing to Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by factors like poor blood circulation, scalp tension, stress, and hormonal imbalances, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Hair, Cutaneous Homeostasis, and Stem Cell Functions
Proteins like aPKC and PDGF-AA, substances like adenosine and ATP, and adipose-derived stem cells all play important roles in hair growth and health, and could potentially be used to treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research The Androgen Excess and PCOS Society Criteria for the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: The Complete Task Force Report
The report concludes that PCOS is mainly a condition of excess male hormones and its definition may change as new information is discovered.
research Diagnostic Criteria for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
To diagnose Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, two out of three signs—irregular periods, high male hormone levels, or cysts on the ovaries—are needed.
research Evaluation of Hair Loss
Detailed patient history and physical exams are crucial for diagnosing hair loss.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Current Insights in Pathophysiology, Diagnostics, and Management
Early diagnosis and individualized treatment improve outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.
research The Hair Follicle: A Paradoxical Androgen Target Organ
Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.
research Assessment of Markers Expressed in Human Hair Follicles According to Different Skin Regions
Different body parts have varying levels of certain hair follicle markers.
research Hormonal Regulation and Systemic Signals of Skin Aging
Hormones affect skin aging, and treatments targeting hormonal balance may improve skin health.
research Novel Agents for the Treatment of Alopecia
New treatments for hair loss show promise, especially finasteride for men and a stronger minoxidil formula.
research Follicular Unit Transplantation
Bobby Limmer was crucial in developing a hair transplant method that uses natural hair groupings for a more realistic look.
research Androgens and Hair Growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Towards Dissecting the Pathogenesis of Retinoid-Induced Hair Loss: All-Trans Retinoic Acid Induces Premature Hair Follicle Regression by Upregulation of Transforming Growth Factor-β2 in the Dermal Papilla
All-trans retinoic acid causes hair loss by increasing TGF-β2 in hair follicle cells.
research The Control of Hair Growth: An Overview
Hair growth is influenced by interactions between skin layers, growth factors, and hormones, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
research Alopecia Areata: Clinical Perspective and an Insight into Pathogenesis
Alopecia areata causes hair loss due to an immune attack on hair follicles, influenced by genetics and environment.
research Skin Biology
Current therapies cannot fully regenerate adult skin without scars; more research is needed for scar-free healing.
research Cutaneous Reactions to Drugs
Skin reactions are a common reason for emergency visits due to drug allergies, with some severe cases needing intensive care.
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 Tumor Mapping in Two Large Multigenerational Families With CYLD Mutations
CYLD mutations cause a variety of skin tumors with symptoms starting around age 16, and treatments are currently limited.
research Deciphering the Functions of the Hair Follicle Infundibulum in Skin Physiology and Disease
The hair follicle infundibulum plays a key role in skin health and disease, and understanding it better could lead to new skin disease treatments.
research Alopecia And Hirsutism: Pathogenesis And Management Strategies
