Guidelines for diagnosing common hair loss include detailed history, clinical examination, and various diagnostic techniques.
research The Dermal Papilla: An Instructive Niche for Epithelial Stem and Progenitor Cells in Development and Regeneration of the Hair Follicle
The dermal papilla is crucial for hair growth and health, and understanding it could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Global Adiposity Rather Than Abnormal Regional Fat Distribution Characterizes Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have overall higher body fat, not abnormal fat placement, and more insulin resistance.
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 Drug-Induced Hair Loss and Hair Growth
Some drugs can cause hair loss or increase hair growth, but these effects are usually reversible when the drug is stopped.
research The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research Effects of Flutamide and Finasteride on Rat Testicular Descent
Androgens, like testosterone, are crucial for early testicular descent in rats.
research Tactile Innervation Densities Across the Whole Body
Young adults have about 230,000 tactile nerve fibers, decreasing 5-8% per decade with age.
research Dermatological Adverse Events with Taxane Chemotherapy
Taxane chemotherapy can cause skin, hair, and nail side effects, which are often under-reported and can affect patient quality of life.
research Transfollicular Drug Delivery: Is It a Reality?
Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.
research Physiologic Skin Changes in Pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause skin darkening, varicose veins, more sweating, hair growth, hair loss after birth, nail changes, and gum inflammation.
research Liposomes in Dermatology Today
Liposomes improve drug delivery and reduce skin irritation in dermatology.
research Signaling in the Stem Cell Niche: Regulating Cell Fate, Function, and Plasticity
The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.
research Transplantation Immunology: Solid Organ and Bone Marrow
Transplant success has improved with better immunosuppressive drugs and donor matching.
research Hair Anatomy for the Clinician
Understanding hair follicle anatomy helps diagnose hair disorders.
research Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells: Regenerative Potency in Periodontium
Periodontal ligament stem cells show promise for regrowing tissues but require more research for safe, effective use.
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 Classification and Management of Skin, Hair, Nail, and Mucosal Side Effects of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors
EGFR inhibitors often cause skin problems and other side effects, but these are usually reversible and can be managed to keep patients comfortable.
research A New Look at the 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and hair loss, but may cause side effects in some patients.
research Facial Feminization Surgery: Current State of the Art
Facial feminization surgery is effective in helping transgender women appear more feminine and has high patient satisfaction.
research Regenerating the Skin: A Task for the Heterogeneous Stem Cell Pool and Surrounding Niche
Different types of stem cells and their environments are key to skin repair and maintenance.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Stem Cells
TGF-β signaling is crucial for stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and has implications for cancer treatment.
research The Spectrum of Cutaneous Manifestations in Lupus Erythematosus: The Italian Experience
In Italian patients with lupus, the most common skin issue was chronic cutaneous lupus, especially discoid lesions, and nonspecific skin problems occurred in about a third of those with systemic lupus, mainly during active disease.
research Facial Determinants of Female Gender and Feminizing Forehead Cranioplasty
Forehead modification greatly increases the perception of femininity and is a safe procedure.
research A Phase I Study of Topical Tempol for the Prevention of Alopecia Induced by Whole Brain Radiotherapy
Tempol is safe and may prevent hair loss from brain radiotherapy.
research Morpho-Regulation of Ectodermal Organs
Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Hair Loss in Women
Over one-third of women experience hair loss, with female-pattern hair loss being most common, and treatments include minoxidil and possibly hair transplantation.
