June 2020 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Hair shaft malformation contributes to Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia.
In this study, researchers observed that oncogenic HrasG12V in single murine epidermal cells leads to an initial increase in progenitor cell renewal, but ultimately results in balanced cell fate choices that limit clone growth.
January 2020 in “한국공업화학회 연구논문 초록집” This study found that microencapsulated dermal papilla cells in hyaluronic acid/collagen hydrogel retained their ability to initiate hair follicle regeneration, suggesting potential for alopecia treatment.
January 2020 in “Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies” This study found that canine hair follicle stem cells are located in the isthmus/bulge region of the hair follicle, surrounded by telocytes.
February 2019 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that Prss53-mutated rabbits exhibited curved hair and skeletal dyskinesia, suggesting a link between Prss53 loss and these traits, potentially involving disrupted calcium metabolism.
December 2018 in “International Journal of Research -GRANTHAALAYAH” This study reports that pulsed biomagnetic fields may play a role in the deformation of red blood cells by facilitating cross-talk between RBCs and human hairs in vitro.
The researchers developed a new follicular unit extraction system with adjustable needle lengths and precise rotation speed, which they report as being superior to existing systems for non-incisional hair transplants.
July 2018 in “Nasza Dermatologia Online” The authors report two clinical cases of scarring alopecia in a mother and daughter, suggesting a potential link between frontal fibrosing alopecia and ulerythema ophryogenes.
September 2017 in “Springer eBooks” Older East and Southeast Asian men need less hair density for hair restoration satisfaction, and natural hairline features should guide surgery plans.
April 2016 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” The study found that Temporal Triangular Alopecia often starts in early childhood, mainly affects the left side of the scalp, and has no effective treatment except surgery.
This article reviews differences in hair characteristics between Asians and Caucasians, highlighting Asian hair's lower density and thicker dermis, and reports no new research findings.
May 2015 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” The Nd:YAG laser is a successful and safe way to treat ingrown and pincer nails.
This study introduces a new type of tissue micromodule, the micro tissue precursor (μTP), which can form complex 3D tissues, including lung stroma and skin models supporting hair viability.
February 2013 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” Uncombable hair syndrome causes dry, frizzy hair that can't be combed flat, seen in a young child.
This study developed nanoparticulate systems for caffeine delivery in hair follicles, demonstrating effective caffeine loading and release, as well as successful imaging within model hair follicles.
January 2013 in “Sen'i Gakkaishi” This study found that microfibrils play a crucial role in shaping permanent waves by thioglycolic acid, and treating damaged hair with hydrolyzed keratin improved both waving efficiency and hair damage.
January 2013 in “Refubium (Universitätsbibliothek der Freien Universität Berlin)” In this study of women with breast cancer, chemotherapy led to temporary alopecia and altered hair characteristics, impacting quality of life, while Tamoxifen showed minimal hair density changes.
