September 2022 in “F1000Research” Removing hair from mice without reproductive glands led to grey hair, possibly helping to understand greying in aging.
August 2022 in “Metabolites” Different types of skin on mice have unique chemical profiles related to how they grow and react to stress.
February 2022 in “Mediators of Inflammation” Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have lower levels of a substance called DIAPH1 in their blood, which is linked to changes in sugar metabolism and insulin resistance.
June 2021 in “IntechOpen eBooks” Not getting enough minerals can lead to health problems and shorter lifespans.
June 2021 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” The skin basement membrane is specialized for different tissue interactions, important for hair growth and attachment.
Hair can naturally regain color, and stress might influence greying and its reversal.
July 2020 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” The study found that minor protein differences between curved and straight Japanese hair are unlikely to significantly affect hair structure.
May 2020 in “Authorea (Authorea)” Olfactory receptors found outside the nose may offer new treatments for diseases like cancer and help in wound healing and hair growth.
April 2017 in “Al-Azhar Medical Journal” PRP is an effective and safe treatment for alopecia areata.
January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
October 2013 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” FGF9 from certain T cells helps create new hair follicles during wound healing, which could potentially be used for hair loss treatments.
June 2013 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” A substance called FGF9 from certain immune cells can trigger new hair growth during wound healing in mice, but humans may not have the same response due to fewer of these cells.
June 2013 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” FGF9 from certain cells can trigger new hair growth during wound healing, but humans have fewer of these cells, which may limit hair regrowth.
