The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of use of rogaine in treating Alopecia Areata patients under the age of 18 years. This survey of clinicians was…
rafted hair follicles showed slowing down of the linear growth rate to 2/3 of the initial value and reduction of the expected life span of the hair follicles (up to 8 months) even though…
To clarify whether follicular stem cells, defined by their slow cycling nature, are directed to cell death by plucking, we determined the precise location of slow cycling stem cells…
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 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…
