In this study, we evaluate the influence of footshock stress on the term of hair cycle in mice. Female C57BL/6 mice, at 7-8 weeks of age were used. After the depilation of the back skin…
This shedding phase, recently termed “exogen”, has been given little attention and thus is poorly understood. It was the purpose of this study to characterize the exogen phase in the mouse…
It was demonstrated in the adult mice that a high density of taurine was found external root sheaths just below the insertion of the sebaceous glands by radioautography. However…
In the course of screening plant extracts for anagen elongation activity, the extract of dried roots of Sophora Flavescens Aiton (SRE), was found to ossess potent anagen elongation activity…
150 subjects of male pattern alopecia were treated with HEM-13/HDC twice a day for 6 months and subjective and objective clinical symptoms were assessed. Objective symptom was assessed…
In this study we investigate whether minoxidil promotes proliferation and inhibits apoptosis in cultured human dermal papilla cell. We used MTT assay to evaluate the…
Anagen was induced by depilation as control. We also cultured the follicles and dermal papilla cells of human scalp hair. We observed the growth and the synthesis of…
We evaluated by Western- blot analysis the effect of two total plant extracts: soya and pueraria in comparison with two free forms (genistein, daidzein) and two conjugated forms…
Androgens are required for scalp hair follicle miniaturisation in androgenetic alopecia, but their mechanism of action is unclear. The mesenchyme-derived dermal papilla is probably the key tissue in…
We studied the effect of SP and CGRP on human hair growth using organ culture model in which isolated hair follicles were grown in vitro. We devided the culture plates into four groups…
