research Downregulation of Nuclear Factor-KappaB Activation in Human Keratinocytes by Melanogenesis Inhibitors
Melanogenesis inhibitors like kojic acid and niacinamide can reduce inflammation and pigment production in skin cells.
research Penetration Profile of Microspheres in Follicular Targeting of Terminal Hair Follicles
Microspheres about 1.5 micrometers in size can best penetrate hair follicles, potentially reaching important stem cells.
research To Control Site-Specific Skin Gene Expression, Autocrine Mimics Paracrine Canonical Wnt Signaling and Is Activated Ectopically in Skin Disease
The research suggests that a specific skin gene can be controlled by signals within and between cells and is wrongly activated in certain skin diseases.
research A Hot New Twist to Hair Biology: The Role of TRPV1 in Human Hair Growth Control
Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, can slow down hair growth by affecting skin cells and hair follicles.
research Human Hair Follicle and Epidermal Melanocytes Exhibit Striking Differences in Their Aging Profile Involving Catalase
Hair follicle cells age faster and lose pigment due to less catalase, causing hair to turn gray.
research Hair Follicles and Associated Glands as Androgen Targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Topical Curcumin Promotes Induction of the Murine Hair Cycle
Curcumin applied to the skin can start hair growth in mice.
research The Biology of Melanocytes
Melanocytes are cells that make skin and hair color and help protect skin from sun damage.
research BMP Signaling in the Hair Follicle Stem Cell Niche Regulates Hair Growth and Skin Pigmentation
BMP signaling controls hair growth and skin color.
research Hormonal Regulation of Hair Follicles Exhibits a Biological Paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.

Using neurohormones to control keratin can lead to new skin disease treatments.
research A Review of the Etiologies, Clinical Characteristics, and Treatment of Canities
Gray hair is caused by reduced melanin production or transfer issues, linked to aging and possibly health conditions, with treatments focusing on color camouflage.
research Preservation of Melanoblasts in White Hair Follicles of Segmental Vitiligo Lesions: A Preliminary Study
White hair follicles in vitiligo have fewer and less functional melanocytes.
research Biology of the Skin and Dermatological Disease
Knowing how skin works and its diseases helps doctors diagnose and treat skin conditions better.
