research Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide, Whose Receptor-Mediated Signaling May Be Defective in Alopecia Areata, Provides Protection from Hair Follicle Immune Privilege Collapse
A substance called VIP might protect hair follicles from being attacked by the immune system, and problems with VIP signaling could lead to hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Transplantation of Bone-Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal and Epidermal Stem Cells Contribute to Wound Healing with Different Regenerative Features
Bone-marrow and epidermal stem cells help heal wounds differently, with bone-marrow cells aiding in blood vessel formation and epidermal cells in hair growth.
research Human TSC2-Null Fibroblast-Like Cells Induce Hair Follicle Neogenesis and Hamartoma Morphogenesis
Cells from a skin condition can create new hair follicles and similar growths in mice, and a specific treatment can reduce these effects.

Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
research Systematic Analysis of Non-coding RNAs Involved in the Angora Rabbit Hair Follicle Cycle by RNA Sequencing
Non-coding RNAs play key roles in the hair growth cycle of Angora rabbits.
research The Balance of BMP6 and WNT10B Regulates the Telogen-Anagen Transition of Hair Follicles
BMP6 and Wnt10b control whether hair follicles are resting or growing.
research The Mesenchymal Niche of the Hair Follicle Induces Regeneration by Releasing Primed Progenitors from Inhibitory Effects of Quiescent Stem Cells
The study found that a specific area of the hair follicle helps start hair growth by reducing the blocking effects on certain cells and controlling growth signals.
research CD98hc (SLC3A2) Regulation of Skin Homeostasis Wanes With Age
CD98hc's role in skin health decreases with age.
research Skin and Hair: Models for Exploring Organ Regeneration
Skin and hair can help us understand organ regeneration, especially how certain stem cells might be used to form new organs.

Potassium channel openers like minoxidil help hair grow by acting on hair follicles.
research Alopecia Areata: Current Situation and Perspectives
Alopecia Areata is a complex, unpredictable autoimmune hair loss condition with limited treatment options and a significant psychological impact.
research Leave the Fat, Skip the Bolster: Thinking Outside the Box in Lower Third Nasal Reconstruction
Nasolabial skin-fat grafts are good for nasal reconstruction with minimal scarring and no need for bolsters, but smoking may affect graft survival.
research Fractography of Human Hair
Moisture content significantly affects how human hair breaks.
research Human Hair Follicle Stem/Progenitor Cells Express Hypoxia Markers
Human hair follicle stem cells show signs of low oxygen levels, which may be important for hair growth and preventing baldness.
research Effect of Long-Term Fluticasone Treatment on Immune Function in Horses with Heaves
Long-term fluticasone treatment does not harm the immune system in horses with heaves.
research Bidirectional Barbed Sutures for Wound Closure: Evolution and Applications
Bidirectional barbed sutures are effective and can reduce surgery time, with a low infection rate and potential cost savings despite being more expensive.
research Profile of the Progesterone Derivative Chlormadinone Acetate: Pharmacodynamic Properties and Therapeutic Applications
Chlormadinone acetate is a strong, well-tolerated hormone used in birth control and hormone therapy with benefits for menstrual pain and skin conditions.
research The Effect of St. John's Wort on the Pharmacokinetics, Metabolism, and Biliary Excretion of Finasteride and Its Metabolites in Healthy Men

research What Every Physician Should Know About Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Doctors should know how to diagnose and treat PCOS, which often involves checking for high male hormone levels and using medications to manage symptoms.
research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque
Testosterone can slow down hair growth when combined with certain cells from bald scalps, and this effect can be blocked by an androgen receptor blocker.
research Off-Label Use of Topical Minoxidil in Alopecia: A Review
Minoxidil helps treat eyebrow thinning, monilethrix, early hair loss, and shortens chemo-related hair loss.
research Effect of Dihydrotestosterone on the Upregulation of Inflammatory Cytokines in Cultured Sebocytes
Dihydrotestosterone increases certain inflammatory signals in skin cells, potentially contributing to acne.
