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 In Vivo Follicular Unit Multiplication: Is It Possible to Harvest an Unlimited Donor Supply?
Transplanted transected hair follicles can survive but grow at unsatisfactory rates and are thinner, suggesting limited potential for unlimited donor hair supply.
research The Roles of Activins in Repair Processes of the Skin and the Brain
Activin A helps heal skin wounds and protects the brain after injury.
research Using Proteomics to Compare the Molecular Structures of Sulfide and Permeate-Depilated Sheepskins
The conclusion is that using bovine milk permeate to remove wool from sheepskins is eco-friendly and results in smoother, higher quality leather compared to traditional sulfide methods.
research Effect of Latanoprost on Hair Growth in the Bald Scalp of the Stump-Tailed Macaque: A Pilot Study
Latanoprost, a glaucoma drug, showed potential for promoting hair growth in bald monkeys, especially at higher doses.
research Extracellular Vesicles From 3D Cultured Dermal Papilla Cells Improve Wound Healing Via Krüppel-Like Factor 4/Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A-Driven Angiogenesis
Tiny particles from 3D-grown skin cells speed up wound healing by promoting blood vessel growth.
research Sostdc1 Defines the Size and Number of Skin Appendage Placodes
Sostdc1 controls the size and number of hair and mammary gland structures.
research Motoneuron-Specific PTEN Deletion in Mice Induces Neuronal Hypertrophy and Regeneration After Facial Nerve Injury
Deleting the PTEN gene in mice causes nerve cells to grow larger and heal better after injury, but may cause overgrowth and hair loss in older mice.
research Establishment of SV40T-Transformed Human Dermal Papilla Cells and Identification of Dihydrotestosterone-Regulated Genes by cDNA Microarray
Researchers created a cell line to study hair growth and found specific genes affected by dihydrotestosterone.
research Ficus Benghalensis as Potential Inhibitor of 5α-Reductase for Hair Growth Promotion: In Vitro, In Silico, and In Vivo Evaluation
Ficus benghalensis leaf extracts can effectively promote hair growth and inhibit hair loss.
research Glutamate Transporter SLC1A3 Mediates Inter-Niche Stem Cell Activation During Skin Growth
The protein SLC1A3 is important for activating skin stem cells and is necessary for normal hair and skin growth in mice.
research Azelaic Acid Stimulates Catalase Activation and Promotes Hair Growth Through Upregulation of Gli1 and Gli2 mRNA and Shh Protein
Azelaic acid helps protect hair cells from UV damage and encourages hair growth by increasing certain gene expressions and proteins.
research Human Hair Follicles Contain Two Forms of ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channels, Only One Sensitive to Minoxidil
One minoxidil-sensitive potassium channel exists in human hair follicles.
research Analysis of the Expression Pattern of the Carrier Protein Transthyretin and Its Receptor Megalin in the Human Scalp Skin and Hair Follicles: Hair Cycle-Associated Changes
The proteins transthyretin and megalin are more present in the growth phase of hair, suggesting they might affect hair health and growth.
research Induction of the Hair Growth Phase in Postnatal Mice by Localized Transient Expression of Sonic Hedgehog
Activating the Sonic hedgehog gene in mice can start the hair growth phase.
research Novel Aspects of Age-Protection by Spermidine Supplementation Are Associated with Preserved Telomere Length
