research Age-Related Changes in Female Scalp Dermal Sheath and Dermal Fibroblasts: How the Hair Follicle Environment Impacts Hair Aging
Aging causes changes in the scalp that can affect hair growth and lead to older-looking hair in women.
research Stress-Sensing in the Human Greying Hair Follicle: Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) Depletion in Hair Bulb Melanocytes in Canities-Prone Scalp
Hair greying is linked to reduced ATM protein in hair cells, which protects against stress and damage.
research Sebaceous Gland Abnormalities in Fatty Acyl CoA Reductase 2 (Far2) Null Mice Result in Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
Deleting the Far2 gene in mice causes sebaceous gland issues and patchy hair loss.
research Autoantigen Discovery in the Hair Loss Disorder, Alopecia Areata: Implications of Post-Translational Modifications
New protein changes may be involved in the immune attack on hair follicles in alopecia areata.
research Bald Thigh Syndrome in Sighthounds: Revisiting the Cause of a Well-Known Disease
Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds is caused by structural defects in hair shafts due to downregulated genes and proteins.
research Predicting Human Appearance from DNA for Forensic Investigations
DNA can predict physical traits like eye and hair color accurately, especially in Europeans, but predicting other traits and in diverse populations needs more research.
research Associations Between Sun Sensitive Pigmentary Genes and Serum Prostate Specific Antigen Levels
Men with less sun-sensitive skin have lower PSA levels, while men with more sun-sensitive skin have higher PSA levels.
research Estrogen Modulates Mesenchymal-Epidermal Interactions in the Adult Nipple
Estrogen is important for keeping adult mouse nipple skin healthy by controlling certain cell signals.
research Topical Cetirizine and Oral Vitamin D: A Valid Treatment for Hypotrichosis Caused by Ectodermal Dysplasia
Using cetirizine on the skin and taking vitamin D can help increase hair growth in children with hair loss from ectodermal dysplasia.
research A New Universal Follicular Unit Excision Classification System for Hair Transplantation Difficulty and Patient Outcome
The new SFS Scale predicts hair transplant difficulty using hair and skin types, with thick skin and coily hair being hardest to work with.
research Evaluation of Animal Models Suitable for Hair Research and Regeneration
Animal models, especially mice, are essential for advancing hair loss research and treatment.
research Understanding Skin Morphogenesis Across Developmental, Regenerative, and Evolutionary Levels
The article concludes that studying how skin forms is key to understanding skin diseases and improving regenerative medicine.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Transplantation of Melanocyte Stem Cells in Vitiliginous Skin
Transplanting melanocyte stem cells from hair follicles can effectively treat vitiligo.
research Stem Cells and Their Niches
The document concludes that stem cells and their environments are crucial for skin and hair health and have potential for medical treatments.
research Dermal Niche Signaling and Epidermal Stem Cells
Skin health and repair depend on the signals between skin stem cells and their surrounding cells.
