Polyamines are abundant in certain parts of rat hair follicles and may play a key role in hair growth.
research British Association of Dermatologists Guidelines on the Efficacy and Use of Acitretin in Dermatology
Acitretin is effective for severe skin conditions but has significant side effects and requires careful monitoring.
research Expression of Mu-Opiate Receptor in Human Epidermis and Keratinocytes
μ-opiate receptors in skin cells may affect skin health and healing.
research Mammalian Keratin-Associated Proteins (KRTAPs) Subgenomes: Disentangling Hair Diversity and Adaptation to Terrestrial and Aquatic Environments
Different hair types in mammals are linked to variations in specific protein genes, with changes influenced by their living environments.
research Specific Morphogenetic Events in Mouse External Genitalia Sex Differentiation Are Dependent Upon Androgens and Estrogens
Mouse genital development depends on male or female hormones for specific features.

A special stem cell fluid can speed up wound healing and hair growth in mice.
research Using the Zebrafish Lateral Line to Uncover Novel Mechanisms of Action and Prevention in Drug-Induced Hair Cell Death
Zebrafish helped find new ways to prevent drug-induced hair cell death and potential treatments for hearing loss.
research DNA Damage-Inducible Transcript 4 Is an Innate Surveillant of Hair Follicular Stress in Vitamin D Receptor Knockout Mice and a Regulator of Wound Re-Epithelialization
Vitamin D receptor is important for regulating hair growth and wound healing in mice.
research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque
Testosterone can slow hair growth in adult monkeys, but a blocker called RU 58841 can counteract this and potentially help hair regrow.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
research Interleukin-6 from Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Promotes Tissue Repair by Increasing Cell Proliferation and Hair Follicles in Ischemia/Reperfusion-Treated Skin Flaps
IL-6 from stem cells helps repair skin and grow hair.
research Dexpanthenol Promotes Cell Growth by Preventing Cell Senescence and Apoptosis in Cultured Human Hair Follicle Cells
Dexpanthenol helps human hair follicle cells grow by preventing aging and death, and by supporting growth signals.
research New Insights Into Testosterone Biosynthesis: Novel Observations From HSD17B3 Deficient Mice
Mice without the enzyme HSD17B3 still produce normal testosterone, suggesting they have different ways to make it compared to humans.
research In Vivo Microautoradiography of [3H]1,24(OH)2D3 (Tacalcitol) Following Topical Application to Normal Rats and In Vitro Metabolism in Human Keratinocytes
Topical tacalcitol can treat psoriasis by acting directly on skin cells.
