research Zinc in the Soil and Its Importance for Plants and Human Health: An Integrated Review
Zinc is essential for plant growth and human health, but many soils lack enough zinc, affecting crops and potentially leading to health problems.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Cosmetic procedures can harm hair, but damage can be minimized with knowledge and care; however, once hair is damaged, it cannot be reliably repaired.
research Noggin Overexpression Inhibits Eyelid Opening by Altering Epidermal Apoptosis and Differentiation
Noggin overexpression delays eyelid opening by affecting cell death and skin cell development.
research The Hairless Gene of the Mouse: Relationship of Phenotypic Effects with Expression Profile and Genotype
Mutations in the hairless gene in mice affect its expression and lead to a range of developmental issues in multiple tissues.
research Ultrasound-Activated Particles as CRISPR/Cas9 Delivery System for Androgenic Alopecia Therapy
Scientists have created a new hair loss treatment using ultrasound to deliver gene-editing particles, which resulted in up to 90% hair regrowth in mice.
research Inducing Hair Follicle Neogenesis with Secreted Proteins Enriched in Embryonic Skin
Three specific proteins can turn adult skin cells into hair-growing cells, suggesting a new hair loss treatment.
research Alopecia Areata Susceptibility Variant in MHC Region Impacts Expressions of Genes Contributing to Hair Keratinization and Is Involved in Hair Loss

research Pre-Aggregation of Scalp Progenitor Dermal and Epidermal Stem Cells Activates the WNT Pathway and Promotes Hair Follicle Formation In Vitro and In Vivo Systems
Grouping certain skin cells together activates a growth pathway that helps create new hair follicles.
research HMGB1 Promotes Hair Growth via the Modulation of Prostaglandin Metabolism
A protein called HMGB1 helps hair grow by affecting prostaglandin metabolism.
research LncRNA-XIST Promotes Dermal Papilla Induced Hair Follicle Regeneration by Targeting miR-424 to Activate Hedgehog Signaling
XIST RNA helps regenerate hair follicles by targeting miR-424 and activating hedgehog signaling.
research Photoprotective and Immunoregulatory Capacity of Ginsenoside Rg1 in Chronic Ultraviolet B-Irradiated BALB/c Mouse Skin
Ginsenoside Rg1 protects mouse skin from UVB damage and helps control inflammation.
research Increased Androgen Receptor Messenger RNA in Frontal-Parietal Hair Follicles of Women with Androgenetic Alopecia
Women with hair loss have more androgen receptors in certain hair follicles.
research Skipping of Exons by Premature Termination of Transcription and Alternative Splicing Within Intron-5 of the Sheep SCF Gene: A Novel Splice Variant
A new mRNA variant of the SCF gene in sheep skin produces a shorter, different protein.
research Transcriptome Analysis of Improved Wool Production in Skin-Specific Transgenic Sheep Overexpressing Ovine β-Catenin
Genetically modified sheep with more β-catenin grew more wool without changing the wool's length or thickness.
research Stat3 Partly Inhibits Cell Proliferation Via Direct Negative Regulation of FST Gene Expression
The protein STAT3 slows down cell growth by blocking the FST gene, which affects hair development in sheep.
research Application of an Enzymatic Method for Identifying Hair Treatments
The enzymatic method can effectively identify chemical treatments on hair.
research Molecular Cloning and Expression Analysis of Prostaglandin E Receptor 2 Gene in Cashmere Goat (Capra hircus) Skin During Hair Follicle Development
