Effect 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…

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…
Read MoreInhibiting Hair Growth with Endothelin Receptors
In this study, we examined the mechanism of hair regression induced by endothelins in in vivo and in vitro study. Histological examination revealed that the catagen-like morphological change of anagen…
Read MoreIGF-1 May Increase Miniaturization of Hair Follicles
In this investigation we have designed to find out whether Dermal Papilla cells secrete growth factors like IGF-1, and the effect of androgens on their expression of the above growth…
Read MoreTopical Estrogen as a Treatment for Womens Hair Loss?
Estrogens may play a protective role against the development of Androgenetic Alopecia, because pregnant women are in some way protected form androgenetic hair loss…

The objective of the study was to determine whether age affects the concentration of free amino acids in hair roots in men from the UK..
Read MoreThe Human Hair Cycle and Epidermal Proteins
In order to investigate how the expression of epidermal proteins associated with differentiation also occurs in hair follicles according to its cycle, we performed immunohistochemistry and…
