research Rosacea: Etiology, Pathogenesis, And Subtype Classification
Rosacea is a skin condition with unclear causes, classified into four subtypes.
research Recent Advances in Electrospun Nanofibers for Wound Healing
New nanofiber technology improves wound healing by supporting cell growth and delivering treatments directly to the wound.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor Beta Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
research Melanoblasts' Proper Location and Timed Differentiation Depend on Notch/RBP-J Signaling in Postnatal Hair Follicles
Notch/RBP-J signaling is crucial for proper placement and timing of melanocyte development in hair follicles.

research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research Re-Evaluating Cyclosporine A as a Hair Growth–Promoting Agent in Human Scalp Hair Follicles
Cyclosporine A promotes hair growth and prolongs the active growth phase in human hair follicles, but may work differently than in rodents.
research Activation of Beta-Catenin Signaling in CD133-Positive Dermal Papilla Cells Drives Postnatal Hair Growth
Activating β-catenin in certain skin cells speeds up hair growth in mice.
research NF-κB Participates in Mouse Hair Cycle Control and Plays Distinct Roles in Various Pelage Hair Follicle Types
NF-κB is crucial for different stages and types of hair growth in mice.
research Colocalization of Cystatin M/E and Its Target Proteases Suggests a Role in Terminal Differentiation of Human Hair Follicle and Nail
Cystatin M/E helps in the final stages of hair and nail formation by controlling certain enzymes.
research Osteopontin Gene Is Expressed in the Dermal Papilla of Pelage Follicles in a Hair-Cycle-Dependent Manner
The osteopontin gene is active in a specific part of rat hair follicles during a certain hair growth phase and might affect hair cycle and diseases.
research Topically Applied Nicotinamide Inhibits Human Hair Follicle Growth Ex Vivo
Nicotinamide applied to the scalp can slow down hair growth.
research Microscopical Characterization of Known Postmortem Root Bands Using Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Extracellular Proteoglycan Decorin Maintains Human Hair Follicle Stem Cells
