60-90 / 439 resultsresearch Lymphocytes, Neuropeptides, And Genes Involved In Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease where T cells attack hair follicles.
research Immunology of the Human Nail Apparatus: The Nail Matrix Is a Site of Relative Immune Privilege
The nail matrix has a reduced immune response, protecting it from autoimmunity.
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 Frontiers in Alopecia Areata Pathobiology Research
The review suggests that other immune cells besides CD8+ T cells may contribute to alopecia areata and that targeting regulatory cell defects could improve treatment.
research Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha, Interferon Gamma, and Substance P Are Novel Modulators of Extrapituitary Prolactin Expression in Human Skin
TNFα, IFNγ, and Substance P significantly affect prolactin levels in human skin, suggesting new treatments for skin and hair conditions.
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 Folliculocentric Perspective of Dandruff Pathogenesis: Could a Troublesome Condition Be Caused by Changes to a Natural Secretory Mechanism?
Dandruff might be caused by changes in how hair follicles naturally release oils and an immune response to this imbalance.
research Author Response: Quantitative Mapping of Human Hair Greying and Reversal in Relation to Life Stress
Hair can naturally regain color after greying, and this change may be linked to stress levels.
research Modeling Chemotherapy-Induced Hair Loss: From Experimental Propositions Toward Clinical Reality
A new model using mice with human hair follicles helps better understand hair loss from chemotherapy.
research Arabidopsis Retromer Subunit AtVPS29 Is Involved in SLY1-Mediated Gibberellin Signaling
AtVPS29 is essential for proper plant growth by regulating gibberellin signaling.
research Eclipta Alba Extract With Potential For Hair Growth Promoting Activity
Eclipta alba extract may help hair grow similarly to Minoxidil.
research Macrophages Induce AKT/β-Catenin-Dependent Lgr5+ Stem Cell Activation and Hair Follicle Regeneration Through TNF
Macrophages help regrow hair by activating stem cells using AKT/β-catenin and TNF.
research The Prolactin Receptor as a Therapeutic Target in Human Diseases: Exploring New Potential Indications
Blocking the prolactin receptor might help treat various diseases, but more research is needed.
research How Does pH Fit in with Oscillating Polar Growth?
pH, calcium, and reactive oxygen species regulate plant cell growth, with key roles for NADPH oxidases and plasma membrane H+-ATPases.
research Differential Expression of Proteins Associated with the Hair Follicle Cycle: Proteomics and Bioinformatics Analyses
Researchers found 44 proteins that change during different hair growth stages and may be important for hair follicle function.
research Building and Crossing the Translational Bridge: 2016 Alopecia Areata Research Summit Highlights
The summit aimed to speed up finding treatments for alopecia areata.
research Abstracts from the ASA 40th Annual Meeting
HNG may help prevent the negative effects of chemotherapy on sperm production and white blood cell counts.
research The Auxin-Regulated CrRLK1L Kinase ERULUS Controls Cell Wall Composition During Root Hair Tip Growth
ERULUS controls root hair growth by regulating cell wall composition and pectin activity.
research Root Hair Growth: It's a One Way Street
Root hair growth in plants is a complex process controlled by many factors working together.
research Transcriptome Meta-Analysis Confirms the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Pathogenic Triad: Upregulated Inflammation, Altered Epithelial Organization, and Dysregulated Metabolic Signaling
The research confirms that Hidradenitis Suppurativa is characterized by increased inflammation, disrupted skin cell organization, and abnormal metabolic processes.
research A Desmosomal Cadherin Controls Multipotent Hair Follicle Stem Cell Quiescence and Orchestrates Regeneration Through Adhesion Signaling
A protein called desmoglein 3 is important for keeping hair follicle stem cells inactive and helps in their regeneration.
research Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Hair Gel for Hair Growth Potential
The herbal hair gel with Eclipta alba and Lippia nodiflora extracts was more effective at growing hair than the control gel and minoxidil.
research Summary of the Preceding Three Alopecia Areata Research Summits: What’s Past Is Prologue
New treatments and strategies are needed for Alopecia Areata, focusing on immune response and better trial designs.
research Pilose Antler Extract Promotes Hair Growth in Androgenic Alopecia Mice by Promoting the Initial Anagen Phase
Pilose antler extract helps hair grow in mice with a type of hair loss by speeding up the growth phase.
research Efficacy and Mechanism of Topical Shen Bai Hair Growing Decoction Against Androgenetic Alopecia
The Shen Bai Hair Growing Decoction may help treat hair loss by promoting hair growth and reducing inflammation.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
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.
research AIMP1-Derived Peptide Secreted from Hair Follicle Stem Cells Activates Dermal Papilla Cells to Promote Hair Growth
A peptide from hair follicle stem cells promotes hair growth by activating specific skin cells.
