Nanocarrier-loaded gels improve drug delivery for cancer, skin conditions, and hair loss.
research Cyclosporin A-Induced Hair Growth in Mice Is Associated with Inhibition of Calcineurin-Dependent Activation of NFAT in Follicular Keratinocytes
Cyclosporin A helps mice grow hair by blocking a specific protein activity in skin cells.
research Targeted Expression of Human Vitamin D Receptor in the Skin Promotes the Initiation of the Postnatal Hair Follicle Cycle and Rescues Alopecia in Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Vitamin D receptor is crucial for starting hair growth after birth.
research AGD1, A Class 1 ARF-GAP, Acts in Common Signaling Pathways with Phosphoinositide Metabolism and the Actin Cytoskeleton in Controlling Arabidopsis Root Hair Polarity
AGD1 is important for root hair development in Arabidopsis, working with phosphoinositide signaling and the actin cytoskeleton.
research Use of Cyproterone Acetate, Finasteride, and Spironolactone to Treat Idiopathic Hirsutism
All three treatments reduce hirsutism, but spironolactone works best long-term.
research Bi-Allelic Mutations in LSS, Encoding Lanosterol Synthase, Cause Autosomal-Recessive Hypotrichosis Simplex
Mutations in the LSS gene cause a rare type of hereditary hair loss.
research WNT10A Promotes an Invasive and Self-Renewing Phenotype in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
WNT10A helps esophageal cancer cells spread and keep renewing themselves.
research Tcf3 Promotes Cell Migration and Wound Repair Through Regulation of Lipocalin 2
Tcf3 helps cells move and heal wounds by controlling lipocalin 2.
research Feline Dermatophytosis: Contagion, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Combining systemic and topical treatments, guided by weekly fungal cultures, effectively treats cat ringworm.
research Differential Expression of miR-93 and miR-21 in Granulosa Cells and Follicular Fluid of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Associating with Different Phenotypes
The study found that certain microRNAs are higher in the cells and lower in the fluid of women with a specific type of polycystic ovary syndrome, and one microRNA could potentially help diagnose the condition.
research Edible Seeds From Cucurbitaceae Family as Potential Functional Foods: Immense Promises, Few Concerns
Edible seeds from the Cucurbitaceae family like pumpkin and watermelon seeds are nutritious and may have health benefits, but eating too much can cause side effects.
research Stem Cell Markers (Cytokeratin 15, CD34, and Nestin) in Primary Scarring and Nonscarring Alopecia
Scarring alopecia affects different hair follicle stem cells than nonscarring alopecia, and the infundibular region could be a new treatment target.
research Defects in Mitochondrial DNA Replication and Oxidative Damage in Muscle of mtDNA Mutator Mice
Defective mitochondrial DNA replication causes aging symptoms and increased oxidative damage in mice.
research Exogenous IGF-1 Promotes Hair Growth by Stimulating Cell Proliferation and Downregulating TGF-β1 in C57BL/6 Mice In Vivo
IGF-1 injections help mice grow more hair by increasing cell growth and blocking a hair growth inhibitor.
research Mechanisms of Hepatocyte Attachment to Keratin Biomaterials
Human liver cells stick to hair protein materials mainly through the liver's asialoglycoprotein receptor.
research Genetic Defects in Human Pericentrin Are Associated With Severe Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
People with PCNT mutations often develop severe insulin resistance and early-onset diabetes during childhood or adolescence.
research Disruption of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway Contributes to Hair Follicle Cycling Deficiency in VDR Knockout Mice
Mice without Vitamin D receptors have hair growth problems because of issues in the hedgehog signaling pathway.
research Prolactin Delays Hair Regrowth in Mice
Prolactin slows down hair growth in mice.
research The Functional Diversity of Epidermal Keratins Revealed by the Partial Rescue of the Keratin 14 Null Phenotype by Keratin 16
K16 can partially replace K14 but causes hair loss and skin issues.
research The Effect of Topical Minoxidil on Hair Follicular Cycles of Rats
Minoxidil speeds up hair growth in rats without prolonging growth phase.
research Drug-Induced Acne: Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Some medications can cause acne, and stopping these drugs is the main treatment.
research Post-Transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation, and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
research Type 1 Interferon Signature in the Scalp Lesions of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata shows a unique type 1 interferon signature, suggesting potential treatment by targeting this pathway.
research Glutamine Metabolism Controls Stem Cell Fate Reversibility and Long-Term Maintenance in the Hair Follicle
Glutamine metabolism affects hair stem cell maintenance and their ability to change back to stem cells.
research Advances in the Management of Alopecia Areata
New treatments for severe hair loss often fail, but some patients see hair regrowth with specific therapies, and treatment should be tailored to the individual's situation.
research Pitx2, A β-Catenin-Regulated Transcription Factor, Regulates The Differentiation Of Outer Root Sheath Cells Cultured In Vitro
Pitx2 helps outer root sheath cells differentiate but can't start hair growth on its own.
