research The Follicular Automaton Model: Effect of Stochasticity and Synchronization of Hair Cycles
The model showed that randomness accurately describes individual hair growth cycles and that synchronization can cause large fluctuations not seen in humans.
research Rhodococcus Equi: Clinical Manifestations, Virulence, and Immunity
Rhodococcus equi causes severe pneumonia in young foals, and effective vaccines are needed due to foals' weak immune responses.
research Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Genetic Basis Underlying the Development of Skin Appendages and Immunity in Hedgehog (Atelerix Albiventris)
Genes related to keratin, skin cell differentiation, and immune functions are key in hedgehog skin and spine development.
research Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Genetic Basis Underlying the Development of Skin Appendages and Immunity in Hedgehog (Atelerix Albiventris)
The study found that certain genes are important for hedgehog skin appendage development and immunity, with spines possibly evolving for protection and infection resistance.
research Advances in Understanding Hair Growth
Understanding glycans and enzymes that alter them is key to controlling hair growth.
research Peer Review of Human Hair Shaft Proteomic Profiling: Individual Differences, Site Specificity, and Cuticle Analysis
The research found that people's hair proteins vary, especially by ethnicity and body part, which could help identify individuals in forensic science.
research Human Hair Shaft Proteomic Profiling: Individual Differences, Site Specificity, and Cuticle Analysis
The research found that people's hair proteins vary by individual and body part, with some differences between ethnic groups, which could help in forensics.
research Human Hair Shaft Proteomic Profiling: Individual Differences, Site Specificity, And Cuticle Analysis
Human hair proteins vary by individual, body site, and ethnicity, useful for forensics.
research Endocrinology
The document concludes that inflammation markers can be used in diabetes, vitamin D3 affects immune pathways, hyperthyroidism changes hormone levels, androgen levels help diagnose Adrenocortical Carcinoma, erectile dysfunction is linked to diabetes, hypogonadism is common in HIV-infected males, and hormones can be biomarkers for various conditions.
research Novel Iron Oxide Nanocarriers Loading Finasteride or Dutasteride: Enhanced Skin Penetration for Topical Treatment of Alopecia

research The Cycling Hair Follicle as an Ideal Systems Biology Research Model
The hair follicle is a great model for research to improve hair growth treatments.
research Chronic Telogen Effluvium Is Due to a Reduction in the Variance of Anagen Duration
Chronic hair shedding may be caused by less variation in hair growth times and might stop on its own after several years.
research Touch Receptors Undergo Rapid Remodeling in Healthy Skin
Touch sensitivity in mouse skin decreases during hair growth due to changes in touch receptors.
research The Coenzyme A Precursor Pantethine Enhances Antitumor Immunity in Sarcoma
Pantethine may boost the immune system's ability to fight sarcoma.
research The Impact of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms (FokI, ApaI, TaqI) in Correlation with Oxidative Stress and Hormonal and Dermatologic Manifestations in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Certain gene variations may protect against skin issues and oxidative stress in women with PCOS.
research Selective Janus Kinase 1 Inhibition Resolves Inflammation and Restores Hair Growth Offering a Viable Treatment Option for Alopecia Areata
Blocking Janus kinase 1 helps stop inflammation and regrow hair, making it a good treatment for hair loss from alopecia areata.
research Normal Head-Hair Length Is Correlated With Its Diameter
Hair length and thickness are related, with thickness peaking at about a quarter of the hair's maximum length.
research Solid Effervescent Formulations as a New Approach for Topical Minoxidil Delivery
Effervescent formulations may improve minoxidil delivery, increasing effectiveness and reducing applications needed.
research Factors Associated with Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG Antibody Production in Patients Convalescing from COVID-19
Men, diabetes, and high inflammation levels lead to higher COVID-19 antibodies.
research Metabolic Effect at Six and Twelve Months of Cyproterone Acetate (2 mg) Combined with Ethinyl Estradiol (35 µg) in 31 Patients
The medication combination did not affect glucose tolerance but increased some cholesterol levels due to its estrogen component.
research Variation and Heritability in Hair Diameter and Curvature in an Australian Twin Sample
Hair diameter and curvature are mostly determined by genetics.
research Comparative Spatial Transcriptomic and Single-Cell Analyses of Human Nail Units and Hair Follicles Show Transcriptional Similarities between the Onychodermis and Follicular Dermal Papilla
