This study found that M30 may protect against cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia in mice by enhancing hair growth and preventing abnormal hair, suggesting its potential as a treatment.

This study found that the hairless gene product (Hr) suppresses VDR-mediated gene activation by directly interacting with the vitamin D receptor, potentially affecting hair follicle function.

This study documents that trichohyalin acts as a multi-functional cross-bridging protein in the inner root sheath of mouse hair follicles, enhancing mechanical strength by linking keratin filaments to the cell envelope.

This study found that methylprednisolone can block IgG-induced keratinocyte detachment in an animal model of pemphigus vulgaris, potentially by increasing the synthesis and modifying adhesion molecules.

This study identified epiprofin as a highly tissue-specific nuclear protein that promotes cell proliferation, mainly expressed in the developing teeth, hair follicles, and limbs of embryonic mice.

This review discusses acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa, a rare disorder often linked to internal malignancy, and reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight proposed pathogenic mechanisms for lanugo hair overgrowth.

This study found that using short durations of heat with chemical penetration enhancers improved isotretinoin delivery to human skin, especially via the hair follicles.

This study found that seasonal changes significantly affected hair follicle activity and fibre growth in Merghoz goats, with variations seen in feed intake and growth patterns across different seasons.

In this research, the authors identify coordinated mechanical forces as crucial for hair follicle development in mammals, with contractile, proliferative, and proteolytic activities facilitating the formation and sectioning of epithelial structures crucial for forming a functional tissue.

This study reviews the efficacy and safety of advanced therapies like TNFα inhibitors and IL-17/IL-23 inhibitors for dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, finding TNFα inhibitors particularly effective for severe or refractory cases, although prospective validation is needed for early intervention benefits.

This review summarizes current knowledge on tight junctions in mammalian skin and their role in drug delivery and interaction with other barrier components, but reports no new experimental results.

This review outlines key considerations for designing fluorescence microscopy experiments in cell biology, discussing the importance of hardware availability, suitability of biological models, and imaging agents to achieve high-resolution and informative images.

This review found that patients with alopecia areata may have lower levels of vitamin D, zinc, and folate, but conflicting evidence precludes definitive clinical recommendations for micronutrient supplementation.

In this study, 42% of healthy men aged 18-49 showed moderate to extensive male pattern hair loss, with prevalence increasing significantly with age.

This study found that topical melatonin solution was associated with positive effects on hair density and reduction in hair loss for androgenetic alopecia, with good tolerability reported in several clinical trials.

This study reported that alopecia occurred in 2.5% of patients with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome, with some cases resembling alopecia areata and others associated with specific skin lesions.

In this NIH study, female donor to male recipient sex mismatch was significantly associated with the development of vitiligo and/or alopecia areata in patients with chronic graft-vs-host disease.

This review examines melatonin's potential effects on human skin and hair follicle pigmentation, highlighting the need to confirm findings from cell cultures in physiological tissue contexts.

In this study, researchers found that a protein-enriched cream made from Spirulina platensis improved the physical structure of natural hair, as evidenced by more intact and smoother cuticles compared to a control cream without protein, suggesting its potential for hair care applications.

This study found that in vitro environments simulating testosterone levels in elderly males, testosterone and its metabolite DHT significantly reduced macrophages' ability to phagocytize MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, suggesting AR manipulation and inhibiting testosterone-DHT conversion might help fight wound infections in the elderly.

This study concluded that combining systemic cyclosporine A with low-dose corticosteroids effectively treats severe alopecia areata while maintaining safe cyclosporine A levels in the blood.

This study demonstrated that cryogelation of human hair keratin allows the development of 3D scaffolds with tunable properties, supporting cell adhesion and proliferation for potential biomedical applications.

This study reported that the pseudoceramide bis-oleamido isopropyl alcohol (BOI) promotes hair growth in ex vivo cultured human hair follicles, likely by enhancing sphingolipid synthesis in dermal papilla cells.

Light and temperature affect the daily skin function rhythms in hairless rats, with temperature influencing water loss but not skin hydration.

This study found that the proposed Bayesian measurement-error-driven hidden Markov regression model effectively calibrated inflated covariate effect sizes in a community-based survey on androgenetic alopecia regardless of misclassification type.

This study assessed patient satisfaction and hair retention in 15 individuals with alopecia treated with Biofibre ® 4.0 artificial hair implants, finding high levels of satisfaction and excellent biocompatibility, with no significant adverse reactions reported after one year.

This study found that proretinal nanoparticles, applied topically, are safe and effective for penetration into hair follicles, enhancing retinoid biological activity in the skin while reducing irritation compared to conventional retinal formulations.

Several companies launched new hair care ingredients in 2011 to improve conditioning, color retention, combability, and heat protection.

This review discusses how recent advances in live imaging have revealed the dynamic and adaptable nature of stem cells during various biological processes, and reports no clinical results.

This study found that four out of ten patients with alopecia areata experienced some hair regrowth after PUVA therapy, though this treatment should be reserved for those unresponsive to other options due to potential long-term side effects.
