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 Effects of the Selective TrkA Agonist Gambogic Amide on Pigmentation and Growth of Human Hair Follicles In Vitro
Gambogic Amide helps maintain hair color and promotes hair growth.
research Biology of Melanocytes in Mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
research Stem Cells Tightly Regulate Dead Cell Clearance to Maintain Tissue Fitness
Stem cells help remove dead cells to keep tissues healthy by balancing cell replacement and clearance.
research Premature Graying as a Consequence of Compromised Antioxidant Activity in Hair Bulb Melanocytes and Their Precursors
Gray hair may be caused by lower antioxidant activity in hair cells.
research Oxidative Stress: Insights into the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Alopecia
Hair loss can be caused by stress, aging, and harmful substances that create an imbalance in the body's natural processes.
