research Mechanisms of Hair Graying: Incomplete Melanocyte Stem Cell Maintenance in the Niche
Hair graying is caused by the loss of pigment cells due to poor maintenance of stem cells in the hair follicle.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Case of Baldness Treated with Individualized Homeopathic Remedy
Homeopathy helped a 30-year-old man regrow his hair.
research Drug Armamentarium for Alopecia Areata
No cure exists for alopecia areata, and treatments are personalized.
research Possible Contributory and Protective Factors in Medication Associated Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Results from the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Events Reporting System
Some drugs may increase the risk of obstructive sleep apnea, while others like certain biologics might decrease it.
research Bone Morphogenetic Proteins Are Critical Factors for Hair Follicle Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions in Androgenetic Alopecia
BMPs are crucial for hair growth and their decrease by androgens leads to hair loss.
research Self-Care of Male Pattern Hair Loss
Two treatments for male pattern hair loss are minoxidil and finasteride, but they have side effects and may not satisfy everyone.
research Molecular Dissection of Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions in the Hair Follicle
Understanding gene expression in hair follicles can reveal insights into hair growth and disorders.
research Alopecia Areata Update
Half of people with Alopecia Areata may see hair regrowth within a year without treatment, but recovery is unpredictable.
research The Hair Cycle
The document concludes that the hair cycle is a complex process involving growth, regression, and rest phases, regulated by various molecular signals.
research Fibroblast Heterogeneity: Implications for Human Disease
Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in diseases and healing, and more research on them could improve treatments.
research Signaling Involved in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Development
The conclusion is that proper signaling is crucial for hair growth and development, and errors can lead to cancer or hair loss.
research Organogenesis From Dissociated Cells: Generation of Mature Cycling Hair Follicles From Skin-Derived Cells
Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from skin cells of newborn mice, which can grow and cycle naturally when injected into adult mouse skin.
research A Therapeutic Microneedle Patch Made from Hair-Derived Keratin for Promoting Hair Regrowth
A new microneedle patch made from hair proteins helps regrow hair faster and better than current treatments.
research Smad7-Induced Beta-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research Hair Loss in Women
Over one-third of women experience hair loss, with female-pattern hair loss being most common, and treatments include minoxidil and possibly hair transplantation.
research Complex Hair Cycle Domain Patterns and Regenerative Hair Waves in Living Rodents
Mice hair growth patterns get more complex with age and can change with events like pregnancy or injury.
research Cell Death in the Skin: Mechanisms and Implications
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
research Epithelial Skin Biology: Stem Cells and Epidermal Homeostasis
The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.
research Stress Exposure Modulates Peptidergic Innervation and Degranulates Mast Cells in Murine Skin
Stress increases nerve fibers and immune cell activity in mouse skin, possibly worsening skin conditions.
research Extracellular Vesicles Derived from MSCs Activate Dermal Papilla Cells In Vitro and Promote Hair Follicle Conversion from Telogen to Anagen in Mice
Tiny particles from stem cells help activate hair growth cells and encourage hair growth in mice without being toxic.
research Hair Growth Cycle Affects Hair Follicle Destruction by Ruby Laser Pulses
Ruby laser pulses best destroy hair follicles during the growth phase and effectiveness varies with laser intensity; melanin is key for targeting, and timing treatments can improve results.
research Exogen, Shedding Phase of the Hair Growth Cycle: Characterization of a Mouse Model
Researchers found that hair shedding happens mostly when new hair is growing and involves a unique process.
research MicroRNA-214 Controls Skin and Hair Follicle Development by Modulating the Activity of the Wnt Pathway
MicroRNA-214 is important for skin and hair growth because it affects the Wnt pathway.
research The Hair Cycle
The document concludes that the hair cycle is a complex process involving growth, regression, and rest phases, regulated by various molecular signals.
research Hormonal Regulation of Hair Follicles Exhibits a Biological Paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research Thymosin Beta 4 Increases Hair Growth by Activation of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Thymosin β4 promotes hair growth by activating stem cells in hair follicles.
research Physiological Changes in the Skin During Pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause skin pigmentation, stretch marks, and changes in hair, nails, and sweat glands, with most resolving after birth.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
