research Commensal Microbes and Hair Follicle Morphogenesis Coordinately Drive Treg Migration into Neonatal Skin
Hair follicle development and microbes help regulatory T cells gather in newborn skin.
research Showing Progress: Defining Self-Tracking as an Aesthetic Audio-Visual Genre
YouTube videos of men using Finasteride and Minoxidil for hair and beard growth form a unique self-tracking genre that helps build community and shape male identity.
research Advancing Regenerative Cellular Therapies in Non-Scarring Alopecia
Regenerative cellular therapies show promise for treating non-scarring hair loss but need more research.
research Abstracts from the ASA 40th Annual Meeting
HNG may help prevent the negative effects of chemotherapy on sperm production and white blood cell counts.
research Abstracts from the 4th Annual Student Medical Summit
The document concludes that more research is needed to reduce frequent hospital visits, addiction medicine education improves with specific training, early breast cancer surgery findings are emerging, nipple smears are not very accurate, surgery for older melanoma patients doesn't extend life, a genetic condition in infants can often be treated with one drug, doctors are inconsistent with blood clot medication, a certain gene may protect against cell damage, muscle gene overexpression affects many other genes, and some mitochondrial genes are less active in mice with tumors.
research Hair Follicle Aging Is Driven by Transepidermal Elimination of Stem Cells via COL17A1 Proteolysis
Hair loss and aging are caused by the breakdown of a key protein in hair stem cells.
research A PAX1 Enhancer Locus Is Associated With Susceptibility to Idiopathic Scoliosis in Females
A genetic region near the PAX1 gene is linked to a higher risk of scoliosis in females.
research Expression and Function of Nuclear Receptor Co-Activator 4: Evidence of a Potential Role Independent of Co-Activator Activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research Cartilage to Bone Transformation During Fracture Healing Is Coordinated by the Invading Vasculature and Induction of the Core Pluripotency Genes
Blood vessels and specific genes help turn cartilage into bone when bones heal.
research The Androgen Receptor Antagonizes Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Epidermal Stem Cells
Androgen receptor activity blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, affecting hair growth and skin cell balance.
research Protection Against Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
No treatment fully prevents hair loss from chemotherapy yet.
research What Should It Take to Describe a Substance or Product as 'Sperm-Safe'?
Products should be called 'sperm-safe' only after thorough, well-designed tests.
research Materialism, Transformation Expectations, and Spending: Implications for Credit Use
People who are more materialistic often expect life changes from buying things, leading to more debt and credit misuse.
research Bone vs. Fat: Embryonic Origin of Progenitors Determines Response to Androgen in Adipocytes and Osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research Achieving Physiologic 17-β-Estradiol Levels in Transgender Females on Estradiol Transdermal Patches and Optimal Dosing
Transgender females can reach their target estrogen levels using estradiol patches, especially if oral treatments fail or if they're at risk for blood clots. Often, the highest dose patch is needed.
research Medical Management of Transgender Children and Adolescents
Medical care for transgender youth should be individualized and supportive.
research Gender-Affirmation Hair Transplantation Techniques
Hair transplantation is important for transgender patients to enhance their masculine or feminine appearance.
research Contents
The document concludes that careful planning and execution of facial gender affirmation surgery after at least 12 months of hormonal therapy can improve the quality of life for transgender individuals.
research Beard Hair Transplantation
Beard hair transplantation is generally satisfying, requires 250-800 grafts, uses FUE to avoid scars, needs careful planning, has some risks, and hair regrowth starts after 4-6 months.
research Tissue Engineering Strategies for Human Hair Follicle Regeneration: How Far From a Hairy Goal?
Fully regenerating human hair follicles not yet achieved.
research International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery
Various techniques and tools for hair restoration were presented in 1998, including a mathematical model for donor area, use of lasers in surgery, methods for controlling grafted hair direction, and ways to increase graft yield. Satisfaction rates were around 39%, and studies showed trauma and dehydration can damage hair follicles.
research Advancements in Non-Shaven Techniques for Long Hair Restoration
The FUL hair restoration technique is better for aesthetics and causes less scarring.
research Care Pathways of Children and Adolescents Referred to Specialist Gender Services: A Systematic Review
Many children and teens referred to gender services receive hormone treatments, but more research is needed on their long-term care and outcomes.
research Biofabrication Technologies in Hair Neoformation
New biofabrication technologies could lead to treatments for hair loss.
research Multifaceted Role of Hair Follicle Dermal Cells in Bioengineered Skins
Human hair follicle dermal cells can effectively replace other cells in engineered skin.
research Sic Transit Gloria: Farewell to the Epidermal Transit Amplifying Cell?
New research suggests that skin cell renewal may not require a special type of cell previously thought to be essential.
research Hair Regeneration Methods Using Cells Derived From Human Hair Follicles and Challenges to Overcome
Current hair regeneration methods show promise but face challenges in maintaining cell effectiveness and creating the right environment for hair growth.
research Cells and Structures Involved in Hair Follicle Regeneration: An Introduction
The document concludes that hair follicle regeneration involves various factors like stem cells, noncoding dsRNA, lymphatic vessels, growth factors, minoxidil, exosomes, and induced pluripotent stem cells.
