Different compounds move through artificial sebum at different rates, which can help choose the best ones for targeting hair follicles.
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 Epidermal Development in Mammals: Key Regulators, Signals from Beneath, and Stem Cells
Skin development in mammals is controlled by key proteins and signals from underlying cells, involving stem cells for maintenance and repair.
research IL-36α Promoted Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Neogenesis via Hair Follicle Stem/Progenitor Cell Proliferation
IL-36α helps grow new hair follicles and speeds up wound healing.
research Eccrine Sweat Glands Associate With the Human Hair Follicle Within a Defined Compartment of Dermal White Adipose Tissue
Sweat glands and hair follicles are structurally connected within a specific layer of skin fat.
research Cutaneous Manifestations of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Skin problems in PCOS, like excess hair, acne, and hair loss, may not always indicate high male hormone levels and need careful diagnosis for proper treatment.
research The RAIG Family Member, GPRC5D, Is Associated With Hard-Keratinized Structures
GPRC5D is linked to the formation of hair, nails, and certain tongue areas.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Androgenic Hormone Profile of Adult Women with Acne
Over half of the adult women with acne in the study had higher than normal levels of male hormones, especially DHEA.
research Hair Growth: Focus on Herbal Therapeutic Agents
Some plants may help with hair growth and have fewer side effects than synthetic drugs, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Morphometric Analysis of the Human Scalp Hair Follicle: Practical Implications for the Hair Transplant Surgeon and Hair Regeneration Studies
The research provides specific measurements for hair follicles that can improve hair transplant and regeneration techniques.
research Aesthetics in Psychosomatic Dermatology II: Skin Changes Experienced as Cutaneous Disease
People distressed by minor skin changes should consult dermatologists with cosmetic expertise, and a public Cosmetic Dermatology Service with mental health support is recommended.
research Receptor Activator of NF-κB Stimulates the Proliferation of Epithelial Cells of the Epidermo-Pilosebaceous Unit
RANK-RANKL signaling is essential for hair growth and skin health.
research Therapeutic Response of Facial Papules and Inflammation in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia to Low-Dose Oral Isotretinoin
Low-dose oral isotretinoin improved hair loss and facial bumps in patients with a specific type of hair loss.
research The Pathogenesis of Acne: How Might Azelaic Acid Act?
Azelaic acid may help treat acne by killing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and preventing clogged pores.
research Staining of Human Skin With RGB Trichrome Unveils a Proteoglycan-Enriched Zone in the Hair Dermal Sheath
A new staining method shows a special area in the hair's skin layer with lots of proteoglycans.
research Animal Models of Androgen-Dependent Disorders of the Pilosebaceous Apparatus
Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.
research The Role of Melatonin in Neuroectodermal-Mesodermal Interactions: The Hair Follicle Synthesizes Melatonin and Expresses Functional Melatonin Receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Human Skin
Estrogen deficiency, like after menopause or certain surgeries, leads to faster skin aging and health issues.

Trichloroacetic acid is a safe and effective treatment for hair loss in alopecia areata patients.
research Exfoliative Dermatitis in a Cat
A cat had a rare skin disorder with hair loss and scaling, linked to a suspected tumor.
research Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure to move hair to bald areas, requires good donor hair, and results show in about a year.
research Primary Cicatricial Alopecia: Diagnosis and Treatment
Primary cicatricial alopecia, a rare disorder causing permanent hair loss, is hard to diagnose and treat, with treatments like anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids offering varied results and no guaranteed cure. Psychological support for patients is important, and future research should aim to identify causes of the condition.
