research Effects of Minoxidil on Cultured Human Skin Fibroblasts
Minoxidil slows down skin cell growth and may help treat scars and skin conditions.
research The Effect of Various Vehicles on the In Vitro Skin Permeability of Minoxidil
Different substances can affect how well the skin absorbs minoxidil, a hair loss drug. Caprylic acid helps the skin absorb it the best, followed by propylene glycol and water.
research Recombinant Human Hair Keratin Proteins for Halting Bleeding
Recombinant human hair keratin proteins can effectively stop bleeding.
research A Model for the Turnover of Dihydrotestosterone in the Presence of the Irreversible 5α-Reductase Inhibitors GI198745 and Finasteride
Both drugs lower DHT levels, with GI198745 being more effective.
research The Hair Follicle: Functions, Self-Renewal, and Alopecic Disorders
Dogs could be good models for studying human hair growth and hair loss.
research Perspectives in Dermatopathology: Telomeres and Telomerase in Aging and Cancer with Emphasis on Cutaneous Disease
Short telomeres contribute to aging and cancer, and while telomerase can delay aging, it may also promote cancer.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and Lichen Planus Pigmentosus: Is There a Link?
There may be a connection between Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and Lichen Planus Pigmentosus, and more research is needed to confirm this.
research Calcineurin-Based Immunosuppression in Renal Transplantation: Focus on Efficacy, the Role of Steroids, and Cardiovascular Risk
Tacrolimus causes fewer acute rejections than cyclosporin A in kidney transplants but doesn't necessarily improve kidney function after one year; cardiovascular risks and side effects vary between the two drugs.
research Androgenic Alopecia: A Counterproductive Outcome of the Anabolic Effect of Androgens
Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.
research Clinical Facts and Curiosities
Swimming in Lake Malawi can lead to schistosomiasis, hepatitis B vaccine might cause temporary hair loss, and certain drinks affect kidney stone risk.
research Skin Biopsy
Correct skin biopsy techniques are crucial to avoid misdiagnosis of skin diseases.
research Drug Eruptions
Any medication can cause skin reactions, some due to allergies and others due to dosage or genetic factors.
research Clinical Picture, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Outcome of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in Children
Children generally have milder SARS symptoms than adults, with good outcomes and no deaths reported, but long-term effects are unclear.
research Review of the Effects of 17α-Estradiol in Humans: A Less Feminizing Estrogen with Neuroprotective Potential
17α-estradiol is a safe estrogen that might protect the brain and doesn't cause feminization, needing more research for treating brain diseases.
research Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Epidermal Homeostasis in We/We Wal/Wal Mice with Postnatal Alopecia
The we/we wal/wal mice have defects in hair growth and skin layer formation, causing hair loss, useful for understanding alopecia.
research Interleukin-6 Null Mice Paradoxically Display Increased STAT3 Activity and Wound-Induced Hair Neogenesis
Mice without the IL-6 gene had more hair growth after injury due to higher activity of a related protein, Stat3.
research Pharmacodynamics of Minoxidil as a Guide for Individualizing Dosage Regimens in Hypertension
research The Thinning Top: Why Older People Have Less Hair
Old people have less hair because their hair follicles don't regenerate as well, not because of fewer stem cells, and a protein called follistatin might help reactivate hair growth.
research Adipose and Hair Function: An Apparent Connection
Fat tissue and a specific protein are crucial for healthy hair growth and maintenance.
research Oral Cyclosporin Does Not Arrest Progression of Androgenetic Alopecia
Cyclosporin doesn't stop hair loss.
research Status of Medical Treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia
Minoxidil effectively promotes hair regrowth in younger patients with small balding areas.
research Hair Matrix Cell Kinetics: A Selective Review
Hair growth is influenced by factors like genetics and nutrition, and more research is needed to understand hair loss and growth mechanisms.
research Androgenetic Alopecia in Males: A Histopathological and Ultrastructural Study
Hair loss in males involves inflammation, collagen buildup, and follicle damage, with severity increasing with age and baldness duration.
research Repurposing of Approved Cardiovascular Drugs
Some heart drugs show promise for other conditions, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research Dermocosmetics for Maintaining Scalp and Hair Health
Shampoos have evolved to address individual hair and scalp needs, and treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride help with hair loss.
research Structural Optimization of Pep7, a Small Peptide Extracted from Epimorphin, for Effective Induction of Hair Follicle Anagen
Modified pep7, named EPM peptide, effectively promotes hair growth at low concentrations and works well with minoxidil.
research Interleukin 6 and STAT3 Regulate p63 Isoform Expression in Keratinocytes During Regeneration
The conclusion is that the IL-6/STAT3 activation affects p63 expression in healing wounds, which may help in hair follicle regeneration.
research Genetic Defects of Female Sexual Differentiation
Genetic mutations can affect female sexual development, requiring personalized medical care.
research Finasteride Increases Anagen Hair in Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride helps increase hair growth in men with hair loss.
