Grape seed proanthocyanidins can promote hair growth.
research Function and Underlying Mechanisms of Seasonal Color Molting in Mammals and Birds: What Keeps Them Changing in a Warming World?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research The Role of P-Cadherin in Skin Biology and Pathology: Lessons from the Hair Follicle
P-cadherin is important for hair growth and health, and its problems can cause hair and skin disorders.
research Evo Devo of the Vertebrate Integument
The skin systems of jawed vertebrates evolved diverse appendages like hair and scales from a common structure over 420 million years ago.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research Defining the Transcriptional Signature of Esophageal-to-Skin Lineage Conversion
Adult esophageal cells can start to become like skin cells, with a key pathway influencing this change.
research The Androgen Receptor Antagonizes Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Epidermal Stem Cells
Androgen receptor activity blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, affecting hair growth and skin cell balance.
research Alopecia Areata in a Rhesus Monkey (Macaca Mulatta)
The monkey's hair loss was due to an autoimmune disease, not genetics.
research Penetration Profile of Microspheres in Follicular Targeting of Terminal Hair Follicles
Microspheres about 1.5 micrometers in size can best penetrate hair follicles, potentially reaching important stem cells.
research Thyroid Diseases and Skin Autoimmunity
Thyroid diseases may contribute to autoimmune skin diseases, and more research is needed on their relationship.
research Thiolated and PEGylated Silica Nanoparticle Delivery to Hair Follicles
Using longer PEG chains helps nanoparticles penetrate hair follicles better, improving drug delivery for conditions like alopecia.
research Analysis of Lipids in the Medulla of Japanese Hair and Their Function
Lipids in Japanese hair help maintain glossiness and structure.
research The Effect of Experimental Hypothyroidism on the Skin of Adult Male Albino Rats and the Therapeutic Role of Topical Triiodothyronine
Hypothyroidism harms rat skin, but topical triiodothyronine may help improve it.
research Expression Analysis of the Type I Keratin Protein Keratin 33A in Goat Coat Hair
Keratin 33A is a key protein in goat winter coats, especially in high-producing breeds.
research Hair-Cycle Dependent Differential Expression of ADAM 10 and ADAM 12
ADAM 10 and ADAM 12 proteins are involved in different stages of hair growth and could be targets for treating hair disorders.
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 Evolution of Hard Proteins in the Sauropsid Integument in Relation to the Cornification of Skin Derivatives in Amniotes
Hard skin features like scales, feathers, and hair evolved through specific protein changes in different animal groups.
research Role of Sulfur Metabolism Gene and High-Sulfur Gene Expression in Wool Growth Regulation in the Cashmere Goat
Certain genes related to sulfur metabolism are more active during the growth phase of Cashmere goat wool, and melatonin might help this process.
research Abstracts
New treatments and diagnostic methods for various animal skin conditions showed promising results.
research Relative Studies Between Hair Index, Hair Area, And Medullary Index With Age And Sex In Thai Scalp Hair
