research Study of Gene Expression Alteration in Male Androgenetic Alopecia: Evidence of Predominant Molecular Signaling Pathways
Hair loss involves immune responses, inflammation, and disrupted signaling pathways.
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 The Local Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Stress hormone CRF can cause hair loss by affecting hair growth cells and hormones.
research Neuroendocrinology of the Hair Follicle: Principles and Clinical Perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
research The Local Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Stress hormone CRF causes hair loss and inhibits hair growth in human cells.
research The Local Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Stress hormone CRF causes hair loss and stops hair cell growth.
research BJD Snippet
Researchers found certain genes are overactive and others are underactive in men with early balding, which could help create new treatments.
research Proopiomelanocortin Expression in the Skin During Induced Hair Growth in Mice
research Expression of Mu-Opiate Receptor in Human Epidermis and Keratinocytes
μ-opiate receptors in skin cells may affect skin health and healing.
research Endocrine Systems of the Skin: A 2019 Review
The skin acts like an endocrine organ, making hormones that affect skin diseases and respond to stress.
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 Hair Greying and Its Palliative Management
Hair greying is seen as a sign of aging; temporary fixes like hair dye are used, but a balanced diet and hair care can help manage it.
research Spatiotemporal Expression, Distribution, and Processing of POMC and POMC-Derived Peptides in Murine Skin
POMC-derived peptides are important for skin functions like immune response and stress management.
research Serotoninergic And Melatoninergic Systems Are Fully Expressed In Human Skin
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin.
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 Involvement of Neurosteroids in the Control of Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Activity in Pregnant Sheep Under Basal and Stressful Conditions
Neurosteroids play a key role in controlling the brain-adrenal gland activity in pregnant sheep, both in normal and stressful situations.
research Pathogenesis and Regenerative Therapy in Vitiligo and Alopecia Areata: Focus on Hair Follicle
Hair follicles are key to treating vitiligo and alopecia areata, but challenges exist.
research Neonatal Inhibition of Androgen Activity Alters the Programming of Body Weight and Orexinergic Peptides Differentially in Male and Female Rats
Blocking androgen activity in newborn rats affects body weight and appetite-related hormones differently in males and females.
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 Regulated Proenkephalin Expression in Human Skin and Cultured Skin Cells
Human skin cells produce proenkephalin, which changes with environmental factors and skin diseases.
research Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone and the Skin
CRH in the skin acts like the body's stress response system, affecting cell behavior and immune activity.
research Melasma and Endocrine Disorders
Melasma is a skin condition linked to female hormones, genetics, UV exposure, and certain medications, but not to pituitary, adrenal, or thyroid diseases.
research Alopecia Areata: Hyperactivity of the Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis Is a Myth?
The study found no significant difference in stress hormone levels between people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals, suggesting that the disease is not caused by an overactive stress response system.
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 New Developments in Our Understanding of Acne Pathogenesis and Treatment
We now understand more about what causes acne and this could lead to better, more personalized treatments.
research Skin Steroidogenesis in Health and Disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research Murine Skin as a Target for Melatonin Bioregulation
Melatonin affects mouse skin and may regulate skin functions.
research Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for Investigating Murine Telogen Skin After Spontaneous or Depilation-Induced Hair Growth
EPR spectroscopy showed that spontaneous hair growth results in thicker skin and less pigmented hair than depilation-induced growth.
research Foot Shock Stress Prolongs the Telogen Stage of the Spontaneous Hair Cycle in a Non-Depilated Mouse Model
Stress in mice delays hair growth and treatments blocking substance P can partly reverse this effect.
