research Androgens and Alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.

research What Does the Concept of the Stem Cell Niche Really Mean Today?
Stem cell niches support, regulate, and coordinate stem cell functions.
research Development of a Chitosan Nanofibrillar Scaffold for Skin Repair and Regeneration
Chitosan nanofiber scaffolds improve skin healing and are promising for wound treatment.
research The Harmonies Played by TGF-β in Stem Cell Biology
TGF-β is crucial for controlling stem cell behavior and changes in its signaling can lead to diseases like cancer.
research Ichthyosis
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of ichthyosis is crucial for treatment and genetic advice, and ongoing research is needed for better therapies.
research Age-Associated Inflammation Inhibits Epidermal Stem Cell Function
Aging causes skin stem cells to work less effectively.
research Shh Maintains Dermal Papilla Identity and Hair Morphogenesis via a Noggin–Shh Regulatory Loop
Sonic hedgehog signaling is crucial for hair growth and maintaining hair follicle identity.
research Hormone Replacement Therapy and the Skin
Estrogen replacement can improve skin health in menopausal women but doesn't reverse sun damage or prevent hair loss.
research Physiological and Retinoid-Induced Proliferations of Epidermis Basal Keratinocytes Are Differently Controlled
Normal skin cell renewal doesn't need RAR signaling, but vitamin A-related skin thickening does.
research Oxidative Stress in Aging of Hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research Acne: Hormonal Concepts and Therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Biology of the Wool Follicle: An Excursion into a Unique Tissue Interaction System Waiting to Be Rediscovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
research New Antifungal Agents and Formulations Against Dermatophytes
New topical antifungals and delivery systems are improving treatment for fungal skin infections, but patient education and prevention are key.
research The Proximal Promoter of the Human Transglutaminase 3 Gene
The TGM3 gene's promoter region is key for skin and hair cell function and may aid gene therapy.
research MicroRNA-214 Controls Skin and Hair Follicle Development by Modulating the Activity of the Wnt Pathway
MicroRNA-214 is important for skin and hair growth because it affects the Wnt pathway.
research Alopecia Areata: A Comprehensive Review of Pathogenesis and Management
New treatments for Alopecia Areata show promise but need to be more effective and affordable.
research Beyond Acne: Current Aspects of Sebaceous Gland Biology and Function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research Genetic Ablation of the CDP/Cux Protein C Terminus Results in Hair Cycle Defects and Reduced Male Fertility
Mutant CDP/Cux protein causes hair defects and reduced male fertility in mice.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration Using Grafted Rodent and Human Cells
Grafted rodent and human cells can regenerate hair follicles, but efficiency decreases with age.
research A Role for p75 Neurotrophin Receptor in the Control of Apoptosis-Driven Hair Follicle Regression
The p75 neurotrophin receptor is important for hair follicle regression by controlling cell death.
research Cloning of Wrinkle-Free, a Previously Uncharacterized Mouse Mutation, Reveals Crucial Roles for Fatty Acid Transport Protein 4 in Skin and Hair Development
Fatty acid transport protein 4 is essential for skin and hair development.
research Common Skin Infections in Children
The document concludes that molluscum contagiosum is a common, benign skin infection in children, often healing without scarring.
research Mutant Laboratory Mice With Abnormalities in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis, Cycling, and Structure: Annotated Tables
Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.
research Sericin Hydrogels Promote Skin Wound Healing with Effective Regeneration of Hair Follicles and Sebaceous Glands After Complete Loss of Epidermis and Dermis
Sericin hydrogels heal skin wounds well, regrowing hair and glands with less scarring.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Epithelial Differentiation and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
The TGF-β family helps control how cells change and move, affecting skin, hair, and organ development.
research Inherited Ichthyoses: Generalized Mendelian Disorders of Cornification
Inherited ichthyoses cause widespread skin scaling and thickening due to gene mutations.
research Activin Controls Skin Morphogenesis and Wound Repair Predominantly via Stromal Cells and in a Concentration-Dependent Manner via Keratinocytes
Activin helps skin growth and healing mainly through stromal cells and affects keratinocytes based on its amount.
research Control of Pelage Hair Follicle Development and Cycling by Complex Interactions Between Follistatin and Activin
Follistatin helps hair growth and cycling, while activin prevents it.
research Androgenetic Alopecia in Men and Women
