research Similar Response Patterns to Topical Minoxidil Foam 5% in Frontal and Vertex Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia: A Microarray Analysis
Minoxidil foam 5% effectively treats hair loss in both frontal and vertex scalp regions.
research The 5alpha-Reductase Type 1, But Not Type 2, Gene Is Expressed in Anagen Hairs Plucked from the Vertex Area of the Scalp of Hirsute Women and Normal Individuals
The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.
research The Usefulness of Dermoscopy in Canine Pattern Alopecia: A Descriptive Study
Dermoscopy is useful for diagnosing hair loss patterns in dogs.
research Melatonin Induces a Stimulatory Action on the Scrotal Skin Components of Soay Ram in the Non-Breeding Season
Melatonin stimulates the skin components of ram's scrotum during their non-breeding season.
research Microscopical Characterization of Known Postmortem Root Bands Using Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research How a Bird Gets Its Feathers: Insights from Chromatin Looping
Feather patterns are influenced by enhancers and chromatin looping, and the structure of protein complexes important for hair growth has been detailed.
research The Usefulness of Dermoscopy in Canine Pattern Alopecia: A Descriptive Study
