research Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphism in Chronic Telogen Effluvium: A Case-Control Study
Certain gene variations in the Vitamin D receptor may increase the risk of chronic hair loss.
research Distinct Mechanisms for Sebaceous Gland Self-Renewal and Regeneration Provide Durability in Response to Injury
Sebaceous glands can heal and regenerate after injury using their own stem cells and help from hair follicle cells.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Clinical Exome Sequencing Unveils the Genetic Landscape of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Focusing on Lean and Obese Phenotypes: Implications for Cost-Effective Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment
Young women in West Bengal, India, with PCOS often have estrogen resistance, leptin receptor issues, folate deficiency, T2DM, and acanthosis, commonly linked to obesity.
research Molecular Mechanisms Affecting Development of Animal Fibers and Some Studies on Goats
The article concludes that understanding the molecular processes in hair follicle development can improve the quality of fibers like Angora and cashmere.
research Effect of Lithocholic Acid as a Ligand of Vitamin D Receptor on Hair Growth in Alopecia
Lithocholic acid helps hair growth and regeneration in alopecia by activating vitamin D receptors.
research Minireview: Vitamin D Receptor: New Assignments for an Already Busy Receptor
The vitamin D receptor has many roles in the body beyond managing calcium, affecting the immune system, hair growth, muscles, fat, bone marrow, and cancer cells.
research Hairless: A Nuclear Receptor Corepressor Essential for Skin Function
