research Knock-Down of Arabidopsis PLC5 Reduces Primary Root Growth and Secondary Root Formation While Overexpression Improves Drought Tolerance and Causes Stunted Root Hair Growth
Changing the amount of PLC5 in Arabidopsis affects root growth and drought resistance, with less PLC5 slowing root growth and more PLC5 improving drought tolerance but hindering root hair growth.
research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque
Testosterone can slow down hair growth when combined with certain cells from bald scalps, and this effect can be blocked by an androgen receptor blocker.
research The Role of Immature and Mature Adipocytes in Hair Cycling
Both immature and mature fat cells are important for hair growth cycles, with immature cells promoting growth and mature cells possibly inhibiting it.
research Wound Healing in Development: Mechanisms and Regulation
Wounds heal without scarring in early development but later result in scars, and studying Wnt signaling could help control scarring.
research Phosphatidylinositol-Specific Phospholipase C2 Functions in Auxin-Modulated Root Development
A protein called PLC2 is important for the growth and development of plant roots influenced by auxin.
research Combined Deletion of the Vitamin D Receptor and Calcium-Sensing Receptor Delays Wound Re-Epithelialization
Removing vitamin D and calcium receptors in mice skin cells slows down skin wound healing.
research Expression and Function of Nuclear Receptor Co-Activator 4: Evidence of a Potential Role Independent of Co-Activator Activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research Review of the Effects of 17α-Estradiol in Humans: A Less Feminizing Estrogen with Neuroprotective Potential
17α-estradiol is a safe estrogen that might protect the brain and doesn't cause feminization, needing more research for treating brain diseases.
research L-Carnitine-L-Tartrate Promotes Human Hair Growth In Vitro
L-Carnitine-L-tartrate may help hair grow and prevent hair loss.
research Cutaneous Metabolism of Vitamin B-6
An enzyme other than TNAP might be responsible for vitamin B-6 metabolism in the skin.
research Suppression of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling by EGF Receptor Is Required for Hair Follicle Development
Blocking Wnt/β-catenin signaling with EGF receptor is necessary for proper hair growth.
research Differential Expression and Functionality of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters in the Human Hair Follicle
Certain transporters are found in human hair follicles and may affect hair growth and loss.
research Hair Growth Effect of Minoxidil
Minoxidil helps hair grow by improving blood flow and increasing growth factors in hair follicles.
research C-Reactive Protein Promotes Adhesion of Monocytes to Endothelial Cells via NADPH Oxidase-Mediated Oxidative Stress
C-reactive protein helps monocytes stick to blood vessel cells by causing oxidative stress.
research Group IID, IIE, IIF, and III Secreted Phospholipase A2s
Different sPLA2 enzymes affect immunity, skin and hair health, reproduction, and may be potential targets for therapy.
research Baicalin Increases Hair Follicle Development by Enhancing Canonical Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling and Activating Dermal Papilla Cells in Mice
Baicalin helps hair growth by activating specific cell signals and pathways.
research Unraveling the Molecular Mechanisms of Hair and Nail Genodermatoses
Genetic discoveries are key for understanding, diagnosing, and treating inherited hair and nail disorders.
research The Androgen Receptor and Its Use in Biological Assays: Looking Toward Effect-Based Testing and Its Applications
Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.
research Signaling and Gene Expression for Water-Tolerant Legume Nodulation
The tropical legume Sesbania rostrata can form nodules in waterlogged conditions using a different method that involves plant hormones and specific genes.
research Sebaceous Immunobiology: Skin Homeostasis, Innate Immunity Coordination, Inflammatory Response, and Disease Associations
Sebaceous glands play a key role in skin health, immunity, and various skin diseases.
research Progesterone-Induced Stimulation of Mammary Tumorigenesis Is Due to the Progesterone Metabolite, 5α-Dihydroprogesterone (5αP), and Can Be Suppressed by the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, Finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research Integrative Analysis of Rare Copy Number Variants and Gene Expression Data in Alopecia Areata Implicates an Etiological Role for Autophagy
The research suggests that autophagy-related genes might play a role in causing alopecia areata.
research Study of Seed Hair Growth in Populus Tomentosa, an Important Character of Female Floral Bud Development
Poplar seed hairs grow from the placenta at the ovary base, with endoreduplication playing a key role in their development, and share similar cellulose synthesis processes with cotton fibers.
research The Role of the SLC39A Family of Zinc Transporters in Zinc Homeostasis in Skin
Certain zinc transporters are essential for healthy skin and managing zinc in the body could help treat skin problems.
research Relating Neurosteroid Modulation of Inhibitory Neurotransmission to Behavior
