April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, researchers observed that alopecia areata patients showed higher Th1 and Th2 responses against specific melanogenesis-related protein epitopes, suggesting a role in disease activity and potential targets for diagnostics and therapies.
This study found that hyaluronic acid increased the size of hair follicle germ-like aggregates and the number of proliferative cells but did not maintain specific markers during the process.
June 2017 in “Reactions Weekly” Some breast cancer treatments caused long-term hair loss in women, similar to a condition called alopecia areata.
August 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this animal study, zinc deficiency in mice was linked to disrupted hair cycles and impaired hair regrowth, which were reversed by zinc supplementation.
April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The authors concluded that Wnt ligands produced by hair-inducing dermal papilla cells have crucial roles in coordinating postnatal hair growth by interacting with both epithelial and mesenchymal compartments.
February 2014 in “PubMed” This study found that Lycopersicon esculentum extracts applied to mice promoted hair growth similarly to minoxidil and increased growth factor expression, suggesting potential in hair loss treatments without skin irritation.
This study found that activin B promotes the initiation and development of hair follicles in cultured and neonatal mice.
November 2012 in “International Journal of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence” This study found that the petroleum ether extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra roots promoted faster and longer hair growth in female Wistar rats compared to minoxidil and control treatments.
April 2012 in “Informa Healthcare eBooks” The document concludes that diagnosing hair loss requires evaluating multiple histological features, as no single feature is definitive on its own.
November 2010 in “Value in Health” Treating chronic hand eczema costs about the same in statutory and occupational health insurances in Germany, but work-related cases may lead to higher indirect costs due to longer work absences.
February 2010 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” The document concludes that using gadolinium-based contrast agents during MRI can be linked to Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis in patients with severe kidney disease.
January 2010 in “Life Science Alliance” This study found that in Vdr-knockout mice, hair follicles fail to complete the catagen stage, leading to persistent epithelial strands and subsequent hair loss.
January 2010 in “Chinese journal of clinical anatomy” This study observed that hair follicle development in C57BL/6 mice begins at fetal stage E15.5, with a rapid increase in hair follicle numbers from E17.5 to three days after birth.
September 2009 in “European Urology Supplements” Surgery for high-risk prostate cancer is challenging but doesn't lead to more complications, and additional treatment is often needed.
This study suggests that keratin 15 and Id3 proteins play distinct roles in epithelial and dermal cell activities during the regeneration stages of rat vibrissae hair follicles.
July 2008 in “International journal of psychophysiology” This retrospective study found that cyproterone acetate, both alone and with estrogens, was safe, well tolerated, and induced modest feminizing effects in late-pubertal transgender female adolescents.
June 2008 in “Springer eBooks” The document concludes that permanent hair loss conditions are complex, require early specific treatments, and "secondary permanent alopecias" might be a more accurate term than "secondary cicatricial alopecia."
November 2007 in “Neuro-chirurgie/Neurochirurgie” This study reported that treatment with cyproterone acetate alone and then with incremental estrogen doses induced mild feminizing effects in late-pubertal trans-girls, with further feminization observed after adding estrogen.
September 2004 in “PubMed” This article describes the development and growth stages of hair follicles during intrauterine life and subsequent growth phases on the scalp but reports no new clinical results.
January 2003 in “Zhonghua shaoshang zazhi” In this study, murine fetal epidermal stem cells successfully formed new hair follicle structures when cografted with folliculus pili cells in nude mice.
January 2003 in “Clínicas pediátricas de Norteamérica” This article reviews treatment options for androgenetic alopecia and suggests minoxidil 5% for early-stage women and either minoxidil or finasteride for men, without new study results.
