Micrografting Human Scalp Onto Mice
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…
Read MoreDoes Plucking Hair Really Slow Regrowth?
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…
Read MoreDoes Stress Affect Hair Loss? A Study.
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…
Read MoreWhat Exactly is Hair Shedding? Does it Exist?
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…
Read MoreHow Does Taurine Affect the Hair Follicle?
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…
Read MoreEffect of Minoxidil on Apoptosis in Dermal Papilla Cells
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…
Read MoreThe Effects of Thyroid Hormone on Hair Growth
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…
Read MoreSignalling of Phytoestrogens VEGF by Hair Follicle Cells
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…
Read MoreBalding Dermal Papilla Secretions Delay Hair Growth
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…
Read MoreModifying Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide for Hair Growth
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…
