research Dermal Papilla Cell Number Specifies Hair Size, Shape, and Cycling, and Its Reduction Causes Follicular Decline
More dermal papilla cells in hair follicles lead to larger, healthier hair, while fewer cells cause hair thinning and loss.
research Roles of MED1 in Quiescence of Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Maintenance of Normal Hair Cycling
MED1 is essential for normal hair growth and maintaining hair follicle stem cells.
research Prolactin and the Skin: A Dermatological Perspective on an Ancient Pleiotropic Peptide Hormone
Prolactin affects hair growth and skin conditions, and could be a target for new skin disease treatments.
research Sostdc1 Defines the Size and Number of Skin Appendage Placodes
Sostdc1 controls the size and number of hair and mammary gland structures.
research The Naked Truth: Sphynx and Devon Rex Cat Breed Mutations in KRT71
Sphynx cats are hairless and Devon Rex cats have curly hair due to specific genetic mutations.
research Distinct Developmental Functions of Prostasin (CAP1/PRSS8) Zymogen and Activated Prostasin
Prostasin has two roles in skin: one for normal skin development without needing activation, and another for proper hair growth that requires activation.
research Dermal-Epidermal Interactions: Follicle-Derived Cell Populations in the Study of Hair-Growth Mechanisms
Dermal-epidermal interactions are crucial for hair growth and maintenance.
research The Transcriptional Regulator Prdm1 Is Essential for the Early Development of the Sensory Whisker Follicle and Is Linked to the Beta-Catenin First Dermal Signal
Prdm1 is necessary for early whisker development in mice but not for other hair, and its absence changes nerve and brain patterns related to whiskers.
research Distribution of Extracellular Matrix Molecules in Human Hair Follicles
ECM molecules are crucial for hair growth and development.
research The Prostamide-Related Glaucoma Therapy, Bimatoprost, Offers a Novel Approach for Treating Scalp Alopecias
Bimatoprost, a glaucoma medication, may also help treat hair loss.
research Nonscarring Hair Loss Disorders
Most types of hair loss can regrow naturally, but there are no effective cures for male pattern or age-related hair loss, and only limited options for females.
research Melatonin and Fleece Growth in Australian Cashmere Goats
Melatonin implants affect the growth and pattern of cashmere goat fleece depending on the time of year they are given.
research Minoxidil Sulphation in Human Liver and Platelets
Minoxidil is processed in the body by an enzyme found in the liver and platelets.
research Polymorphism of Exon V of Prolactin Gene and Its Association With Cashmere Traits in Changthangi Pashmina Goats
The prolactin gene polymorphism doesn't affect cashmere quality in these goats.
research Regenerating the Skin: A Task for the Heterogeneous Stem Cell Pool and Surrounding Niche
Different types of stem cells and their environments are key to skin repair and maintenance.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration Using Grafted Rodent and Human Cells
Grafted rodent and human cells can regenerate hair follicles, but efficiency decreases with age.
research Proceedings From the Third Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies
The meeting covered advances in understanding hair growth, causes of hair loss, and potential treatments.
research Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Hair Follicle Development
Understanding hair follicle development can help treat hair loss, skin regeneration, and certain skin cancers.
research Topical Mechlorethamine Restores Autoimmune-Arrested Follicular Activity in Mice with an Alopecia Areata-Like Disease by Targeting Infiltrated Lymphocytes
Mechlorethamine treatment regrew hair in mice by killing immune cells causing hair loss without harming hair follicles.
research Morphogenesis and Renewal of Hair Follicles from Adult Multipotent Stem Cells
Adult mouse skin contains stem cells that can create new hair, skin, and oil glands.
research Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling Regulates Postnatal Hair Follicle Differentiation and Cycling
Blocking BMP signaling causes hair loss and disrupts hair growth cycles.
research An Exclusive Review of Melatonin Effects on Mammalian Melanocytes and Melanoma
Melatonin may inhibit melanoma growth and has potential as a cancer therapy aid, but its effects on human skin pigmentation need more research.
research Effect of Constant-Release Melatonin Implants and Prolonged Exposure to a Long Day Photoperiod on Prolactin Secretion and Hair Growth in Mouflon (Ovis Gmelini Musimon)
Melatonin implants and long daylight hours alter the timing of hormone release and hair growth in mouflon sheep.
research Hair Color, Molt, and Testis Size in Male Short-Tailed Weasels Treated with Melatonin
Melatonin causes weasels to grow white fur and become reproductively inactive.
research The Transcriptional Repressor CDP (Cutl1) Is Essential for Epithelial Cell Differentiation of the Lung and the Hair Follicle
CDP is crucial for lung and hair follicle cell development.
research An Integrative View of Mammalian Seasonal Neuroendocrinology
The article concludes that better understanding gene regulation related to seasonal changes can offer insights into the mechanisms of seasonal timing in mammals.
