research ELife Assessment: Touch Receptor End-Organ Innervation and Function Require Sensory Neuron Expression of the Transcription Factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve connection to touch receptors in certain skin areas of mice.
research Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin often causes discomfort, affects many people, especially women and older adults, and should be managed with careful product selection.
research Roles of Wnt7a in Embryo Development, Tissue Homeostasis, and Human Diseases
Wnt7a protein is crucial for development and tissue maintenance and plays varying roles in diseases and potential treatments.
research Biology of Melanocytes in Mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
research Recent Advances in Neuropeptide-Related Omics and Gene Editing: Spotlight on NPY and Somatostatin and Their Roles in Growth and Food Intake of Fish
New tools show that in fish, NPY increases feeding and somatostatin decreases it.
research Burden of Hair Loss: Stress and the Underestimated Psychosocial Impact of Telogen Effluvium and Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss causes stress and affects mental health; treatment and support needed.
research Overview of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is a genetic and immune-related hair loss condition that is often associated with other autoimmune diseases and does not typically cause permanent damage to hair follicles.
research Saliva Secretion in Engrafted Mouse Bioengineered Salivary Glands Using Taste Stimulation
Bioengineered salivary glands in mice can produce saliva when tasting sour or bitter, but have different protein levels and nerve signals compared to natural glands.
research The Role of Sleep in Telogen Effluvium and Trichodynia: A Commentary in the Context of the Current Pandemic
Poor sleep during the pandemic may increase stress and worsen hair loss conditions.
research Effects of SM-215 on Hair Growth by Hair Follicle Stimulation
SM-215 promotes hair growth by improving the environment around hair follicles.
research Comment on Scalp Neuropathy in Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss in men (androgenetic alopecia) is significantly linked to decreased scalp sensitivity, but not temperature sensitivity. More research is needed to confirm this. Comparing this hair loss to leprosy is unsupported and stigmatizing.
research Gene Polymorphisms and Serum Levels of BDNF and CRH in Vitiligo Patients
Certain gene variations and different levels of BDNF and CRH hormones are linked to vitiligo.
research A Novel Link Between Human Hair Follicle Neuroimmunology and Mitochondrial Biology: Substance P Increases Intrafollicular Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Biogenesis
Substance P may contribute to hair loss by increasing oxidative stress and mitochondrial activity in hair follicles.
research Topical Gabapentin and Its Relation to Cutaneous Innervation in Symptomatic Lymphocytic Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
Using a special skin cream with gabapentin helped reduce symptoms of a certain scalp condition but didn't change nerve fibers or skin chemicals.
research Trichodynia: An Update on Definition, Etiopathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Trichodynia is a painful scalp condition needing targeted treatments beyond symptom management.
research Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide, Whose Receptor-Mediated Signaling May Be Defective in Alopecia Areata, Provides Protection from Hair Follicle Immune Privilege Collapse
A substance called VIP might protect hair follicles from being attacked by the immune system, and problems with VIP signaling could lead to hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Androgenetic Alopecia and Metabolic Syndrome: Is Alarin a Missing Link?
Higher alarin levels might link hair loss and metabolic syndrome.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and Increased Scalp Sweating: Is Neurogenic Inflammation the Common Link
Increased scalp sweating in frontal fibrosing alopecia may be linked to local skin inflammation.
research Indications for a Brain-Hair Follicle Axis: Inhibition of Keratinocyte Proliferation and Up-Regulation of Keratinocyte Apoptosis in Telogen Hair Follicles by Stress and Substance P
Stress can cause hair loss by negatively affecting hair follicles and this effect might be reversed with specific treatments.
research New Effects of Caffeine on Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH)-Induced Stress Along the Intrafollicular Classical Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis (CRH-R1/2, IP3-R, ACTH, MC-R2) and the Neurogenic Non-HPA Axis (Substance P, p75NTR and TrkA) in Ex Vivo Human Male Androgenetic Scalp Hair Follicles
Caffeine may help reduce stress-induced hair loss.
research Hair Pain (Trichodynia): Frequency and Relationship to Hair Loss and Patient Gender
Hair pain is more common in women with hair loss, but it's not linked to the cause or severity of hair loss.
research Trichoscopy of Dissecting Cellulitis of the Scalp: Exclamation Mark Hairs and White Dots as Markers of Disease Chronicity
Exclamation mark hairs suggest early scalp disease, while white dots indicate it's chronic.
research Three Orphans One Should Know: Red Scalp, Red Ear, and Red Scrotum Syndrome
The document concludes that early recognition and appropriate treatment of red scalp, red ear, and red scrotum syndromes can lead to remission.
research Trichodynia Revisited
Trichodynia is a painful scalp condition not directly linked to the amount or type of hair loss and may involve psychological factors, with treatments showing mixed results.
research Trichodynia (Scalp Dysesthesia)
Many people with hair loss experience scalp pain known as trichodynia, but the causes are unclear and treatments vary.
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 Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone: A New Player in Human Hair Growth Control
TRH stimulates human hair growth and extends the hair growth phase.
research Pathways to Inflammation: Acne Pathophysiology
Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.
research Influence of Substance P on Cultured Sebocytes
Substance P may worsen acne by increasing inflammation, but corticosteroids might help by reducing this effect.
