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 Distribution and Localization of Hydrophobic and Ionic Chemical Groups at the Surface of Bleached Human Hair Fibers
Bleaching hair removes its protective top layer and exposes more hydrophilic groups, changing its chemical surface and affecting how it interacts with products.
research Structural and Dynamic Insights into Substrate Binding and Catalysis of Human Lipocalin Prostaglandin D Synthase
The research explains how a human enzyme binds and processes its substrate, which could relate to its role in biological functions and hair loss.
research Differential Proteomics of Lesional vs. Non-Lesional Biopsies Revealed Non-Immune Mechanisms of Alopecia Areata
Non-immune factors play a significant role in alopecia areata.
research Ectopic Expression of a Truncated Isoform of Hair Keratin 81 in Breast Cancer Alters Biophysical Characteristics to Promote Metastatic Propensity
A specific hair protein variant increases the spread of breast cancer and is linked to worse survival rates.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
research Protease Activity, Localization, and Inhibition in the Human Hair Follicle
The study suggests that a new protease inhibitor can make hair harder to pull out, potentially reducing hair loss.
research Microneedle Arrays Combined With Nanomedicine Approaches for Transdermal Delivery of Therapeutics
