research EEMCO Guidance for the Assessment of Hair Shedding and Alopecia
The document explains hair growth and shedding, factors affecting it, and methods to evaluate hair loss, emphasizing the importance of skin biopsy for diagnosis.
research The Genetically Programmed Hair Growth Cycle And Alopecia: What Is There To Know?
The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
research Hair Melanocytes as Neuro-Endocrine Sensors—Pigments for Our Imagination
Hair melanocytes help the skin respond to stress and regulate hair pigmentation.
research Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor and Proglucagon Expression in Mouse Skin
Mice skin has components that could help with hair growth and might be used for diabetes treatment.
research Hair Growth Inhibition by Psychoemotional Stress: A Mouse Model for Neural Mechanisms in Hair Growth Control
Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.
research Neuroimmunoregulation of Androgens in the Adrenal Gland and the Skin
Cytokines and neuropeptides are key in controlling androgen levels, affecting skin and hair conditions.
research Hyperadrenocorticism in Ferrets
Hyperadrenocorticism in ferrets is linked to neutering and indoor housing, and is best treated with surgery and a deslorelin implant.
research The Murine Hair Follicle Is a Melatonin Target
Melatonin directly affects mouse hair follicles and may influence hair growth.
research MTORC1 Activity Negatively Regulates Human Hair Follicle Growth and Pigmentation
High mTORC1 activity slows hair growth and causes it to lose color.
research A Neuroendocrinological Perspective on Human Hair Follicle Pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research Hair Follicle Immune Privilege and Its Collapse in Alopecia Areata
Hair follicles are normally protected from the immune system, but when this protection fails, it can cause hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Hair Pigmentation: A Research Update
Hair color is determined by different melanins and changes with age.
research Androgenic Alopecia and Stress-Induced Premature Senescence by Cumulative Ultraviolet Light Exposure
Chronic exposure to sunlight may worsen male pattern baldness and protecting the scalp from the sun could slow it down.
research Greasy Hair Against Obesity: TSLP-Induced Sebum Production Reduces Fat
Increasing sebum production might help reduce fat and improve metabolism.
research Obesity and the Skin: Skin Physiology and Skin Manifestations of Obesity
Obesity affects skin health, causing conditions like acanthosis nigricans and may require different treatment approaches.
research Neuroimmunology of Stress: Skin Takes Center Stage
Stress can worsen skin and hair conditions by affecting the skin's immune response and hormone levels.
research Melanogenesis Is Coupled to Murine Anagen: Toward New Concepts for the Role of Melanocytes and the Regulation of Melanogenesis in Hair Growth
Hair color production in mice is closely linked to the hair growth phase and may also influence hair growth itself.
research Cell Death in the Skin: Mechanisms and Implications
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
research Acne: Hormonal Concepts and Therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Melanogenesis Is Coupled to Murine Anagen: New Concepts for the Role of Melanocytes and Regulation of Melanogenesis in Hair Growth
Hair color production is closely linked to the active growth phase of hair in mice and may also influence hair growth itself.
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.
research Aging of the Hair Follicle Pigmentation System
Hair grays due to oxidative stress and fewer functioning melanocytes.
research Adult Skin Acute Stress Responses to Short-Term Environmental and Internal Aggression from Exposome Factors
Adult skin quickly reacts to short-term environmental and internal stress, leading to various skin issues and the need for protective measures.
research Stress and Psychoneuroimmunologic Factors in Dermatology
Stress and emotional factors can worsen skin conditions by affecting the immune system.
research Improved Cutaneous Wound Healing After Intraperitoneal Injection of Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone
Injecting alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in mice improved skin healing and reduced scarring.
research Skin Diseases Due to Endocrine Alterations
Hormone imbalances can cause skin diseases, and understanding these links is important for diagnosis and treatment.
research Progress and Prospects: Gene Therapy for Performance and Appearance Enhancement
Gene therapy shows promise for enhancing physical traits but faces ethical, safety, and regulatory challenges.
research Dopa Oxidase Activity in Hair, Skin, and Ocular Melanocytes Is Increased in the Presence of Stressed Fibroblasts
Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.
research Cutaneous Markers of Disorders Affecting Adult Horses
Skin and hair changes in horses can indicate serious diseases, and recognizing these signs is important for treatment and management.
