research Zinc: A Complementary Factor in the Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C?
Zinc supplementation may help improve treatment outcomes for chronic hepatitis C.
research Molecular Basis of Androgenetic Alopecia
research Vitamin D Metabolism and Function in the Skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
research Update on the Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia, Female Pattern Hair Loss, and Alopecia Areata: Implications for Molecular Diagnostic Testing
Genetic factors affect hair loss, and molecular testing may help predict, diagnose, and treat it.
research Single-Cell Transcriptome Sequence Profiling on the Morphogenesis of Secondary Hair Follicles in Ordos Fine-Wool Sheep
The research identifies genes linked to wool quality in sheep and provides insights to improve wool production.
research Hereditary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D-Resistant Rickets
HVDRR is caused by VDR gene mutations, leading to vitamin D resistance, treatable with high calcium doses, but alopecia remains permanent.
research Independent DSG4 Frameshift Variants in Cats with Hair Shaft Dystrophy
Cats with abnormal hair had DSG4 gene changes causing hair problems.
research Book Review
The book provides a clear overview of PCOD and is recommended for medical trainees and clinicians, but may lack depth for advanced researchers.
research Androgens and Alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.
research Downstream Molecular Responses to Volatile Signaling in Roots
Plant roots respond to fungus smells by possibly using certain proteins and a plant hormone to change root growth, but more research is needed.
research Molecular Genetics of Androgen Insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause different levels of androgen insensitivity, making it hard to create simple tests for the condition.
research Association of DNA Damage with Vitamin D and Hair Heavy Metals in Obese Women
Adequate vitamin D might lower, and high hair chromium might increase DNA damage in obese women.
research A Mouse Model for the Basal Transcription and DNA Repair Syndrome Trichothiodystrophy
Researchers created a mouse with the same mutation as humans with trichothiodystrophy, showing similar symptoms and confirming the condition is due to defects in DNA repair and gene activity.
research Dermal Macrophage and Its Potential in Inducing Hair Follicle Regeneration
Dermal macrophages might help regrow hair.
research Development of Gene Therapy for Inner Ear Disease: Using Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction as a Vehicle for Translational Research
Gene therapy, especially using atoh1, shows promise for creating functional sensory hair cells in the inner ear, but dosing and side effects need to be managed for clinical application.
research Expression of the Heat Shock Protein-27 in the Adult Human Scalp Skin and Hair Follicle: Hair Cycle–Dependent Changes
Heat shock protein 27 is more present in the active growth phase of human scalp hair follicles.
research Computational Drug Discovery in Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia via Text Mining and Biomedical Databases
Computational tools identified 29 drugs that could potentially target 19 genes involved in chemotherapy-induced hair loss, which could lead to more effective treatments.
research Molecular Interactions of Natural and Synthetic Steroids in Female Hamsters’ Flank Organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
research Molecular Basis of Hair Follicle Donor Dominance in Androgenetic Alopecia and Sexual Dimorphism of the Skin
Hair loss patterns differ between males and females due to 5 master regulators and JAK-STAT signaling affects hair growth.
research Molecular Network of Smads and Id2 Genes in Hair Follicle Stem Cells Regulation
The BMP/Smads pathway and Id2 gene control hair follicle stem cells, affecting their rest and growth phases.
research Hair Biology and Hair Loss Disorders: An Update and New Concepts
Recent discoveries have improved our understanding of hair loss, but challenges in treatment and knowledge among specialists still exist.
research Gene Expression Profiling of Human Keratinocytes Exposed to the Hair-Dyeing Agent, m-Aminophenol
m-Aminophenol in hair dye can cause skin cell toxicity and stress responses.
research Melatonin Alleviates Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation/Reperfusion-Induced Pyroptosis of HEI-OC1 Cells and Cochlear Hair Cells via MT-1,2/Nrf2/ROS/NLRP3 Pathway
Melatonin may protect inner ear cells from damage by reducing cell death and oxidative stress, potentially treating sudden hearing loss.
research Polymeric Micelle Nanocarriers for the Cutaneous Delivery of Tacrolimus: A Targeted Approach for the Treatment of Psoriasis
New micelle nanocarriers deliver Tacrolimus more effectively to skin layers for psoriasis treatment than the current Protopic ointment.
