research Steroidogenic Factor-1 Lineage Origin of Skin Lesions in Carney Complex Syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney complex are likely caused by a specific group of skin cells that promote pigment production due to a genetic mutation.
research Identification of Two Distinct Stem Cell Clusters, Lrig1-Derived and Wnt/CD44-Dependent, in Corneal Epithelium
The conclusion is that the cornea has two types of stem cells, with Lrig1+ cells being key for renewal in aging corneas, independent of CD44.
research The Experimental Study on the Effect of Herbal Extracts on Hair Growth and Acne
Rubus coreanum may help hair growth but not through the tested mechanisms, and none of the herbal extracts help with acne.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research A Review on Traditional Uses, Phytochemistry, and Pharmacology of Eclipta Prostrata (L.) L.
Eclipta prostrata has many traditional uses and health benefits, but more research is needed to understand how it works and ensure it's safe.
research Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Promotes Aging-Associated Hair Graying in Mice
A certain signaling pathway in mice, when increased, causes hair to gray by depleting the cells that give hair its color.
research New Developments in Our Understanding of Acne Pathogenesis and Treatment
We now understand more about what causes acne and this could lead to better, more personalized treatments.
research Do Hair Bulb Melanocytes Undergo Apoptosis During Hair Follicle Regression (Catagen)?

Melanocytes appear in fetal skin early, but their development details are still unclear.
research Dermal Adipose Tissue Secretes HGF to Promote Human Hair Growth and Pigmentation
Fat under the skin releases HGF which helps hair grow and gain color.
research Loss Of Dicer In Newborn Melanocytes Leads To Premature Hair Graying And Changes In Integrin Expression
Removing Dicer from pigment cells in newborn mice causes early hair graying and changes in cell migration molecules.
research A Preliminary Study of Melanogenic Markers in the Differentiation of the Human Hair Follicle Melanin Unit
The study found markers indicating that cells responsible for hair color are differentiating in specific areas of the hair follicle.
research Molecular Dissection of Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions in the Hair Follicle
Understanding gene expression in hair follicles can reveal insights into hair growth and disorders.
research Pharmacologic Interventions in Aging Hair
Minoxidil and Finasteride are effective for male baldness; more research is needed for hair aging treatments.
research Vitiligo - Part 2 - Classification, Histopathology and Treatment
New vitiligo treatments focus on controlling immune damage and restoring skin color.
research Androgen-Dependent Beard Dermal Papilla Cells Secrete Autocrine Growth Factors in Response to Testosterone Unlike Scalp Cells
Beard cells, unlike scalp cells, produce growth factors in response to testosterone, which may explain differences in hair growth.
research Is Seborrhea a Sign of Autonomic Impairment in Parkinson's Disease?
Seborrhea in Parkinson's disease may be linked to hormones, not autonomic impairment.
research Stem Cells Supporting Other Stem Cells
Stem cells can help other stem cells by producing supportive factors.
