research Light Scattering from Human Hair Fibers
Researchers developed a new model for more realistic computer graphics rendering of hair by considering how light scatters on hair fibers.
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 Hair and Cancer Chemotherapy: Consequences and Nursing Care - A Literature Study
Chemotherapy-induced hair loss significantly affects patients' well-being, and nurses are key in helping them cope, but more research is needed to find effective treatments.
research Pharmacologic Inhibition of JAK-STAT Signaling Promotes Hair Growth
Blocking JAK-STAT signaling can lead to hair growth.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: A Review
Male pattern baldness involves genetics, hormones, and needs better treatments.
research Alopecia Areata: Overview and Treatment Options
Alopecia areata causes hair loss, has no cure, and various treatments exist.
research Cost-Effectiveness of Palliative Chemotherapy in Advanced Gastrointestinal Cancer
Palliative chemotherapy is cost-effective for advanced gastric and colorectal cancer but not clearly for pancreatic-biliary cancer.
research Alopecia Areata: A Multifactorial Autoimmune Condition
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease causing patchy hair loss, often with other autoimmune disorders, but its exact causes are unknown.
research Drug-Induced Hair Loss and Hair Growth
Some drugs can cause hair loss or increase hair growth, but these effects are usually reversible when the drug is stopped.
research Androgen Metabolism as It Affects Hair Growth in Androgenetic Alopecia
Too much androgen can cause hair loss; finasteride may help.
research Dermatological Adverse Events with Taxane Chemotherapy
Taxane chemotherapy can cause skin, hair, and nail side effects, which are often under-reported and can affect patient quality of life.
research A Perspective on RNAi-Based Biopesticides
RNAi-based biopesticides could be safe and effective for pest control with careful development and risk assessment.
research Vitamin D and the Skin: Focus on a Complex Relationship
Vitamin D is important for skin health and may affect conditions like psoriasis and hair loss, but more research is needed to understand its role fully.
research Do Men's Faces Really Signal Heritable Immunocompetence?
Masculine facial features may not reliably indicate heritable health, and more research is needed.
research The Psychology of Hair Loss and Its Implications for Patient Care
Hair loss can significantly affect a person's self-esteem and body image, especially in young people, those who value their looks highly, and women.
research A New Look at the 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and hair loss, but may cause side effects in some patients.
research Patterned Androgenic Alopecia in Women
"Male-pattern" hair loss is common in women, especially after menopause, and doesn't always mean there's a problem with hormone balance.
research Tregs: Where We Are and What Comes Next?

research Hair Loss in Women
Over one-third of women experience hair loss, with female-pattern hair loss being most common, and treatments include minoxidil and possibly hair transplantation.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research A Randomized Trial of Minoxidil in Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Minoxidil shortens baldness from chemotherapy by 50.2 days without significant side effects.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Versus Lichen Planopilaris: A Clinicopathological Study
The conclusion is that FFA and LPP have similar scalp biopsy features, making them hard to distinguish histologically, and FFA may be a specific kind of scarring hair loss.
research Targeting the Janus Kinase Family in Autoimmune Skin Diseases
Janus kinase inhibitors are promising treatments for autoimmune skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis.
research The Role of AUTS2 in Neurodevelopment and Human Evolution
The AUTS2 gene is linked to neurological disorders and may affect human brain development and cognition.
research Hair Regrowth
Finasteride and minoxidil are effective for hair regrowth, while treatments for alopecia areata have varying success and continuous treatment is necessary.
research Janus Kinase Inhibitors in Dermatology: A Systematic Review
JAK inhibitors help with skin conditions but need more research on dosing and safety.
research Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
People with PCOS, especially if obese, often have NAFLD, linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and high androgen levels.
research Folliculitis Decalvans: A Rare Inflammatory Scalp Disorder
Folliculitis decalvans is a rare scalp condition causing scarring hair loss, treated with long-term antibiotics and other medications, but it often comes back and is hard to manage.
research Psychological Effect, Pathophysiology, and Management of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
Minoxidil and finasteride can slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth, but won't restore all lost hair or reverse complete baldness.
