research A controlled study of the effects of RU58841, a non-steroidal antiandrogen, on human hair production by balding scalp grafts maintained on testosterone-conditioned nude mice
RU58841 significantly increases hair growth rate and initiates more hair cycles, but doesn't affect hair thickness, suggesting it could be a new treatment for baldness.
research Hair in health and disease: an introduction
Hair health depends on various factors and hair loss can significantly affect a person's well-being; understanding hair biology is key for creating effective hair care treatments.
research Knockout of p16INK4a promotes aggregative growth of dermal papilla cells
Removing p16INK4a from skin cells can lead to faster and more clumped growth, which might help with hair growth.
research Sex differences in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis’ response to stress: an important role for gonadal hormones
Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.
research Cell Types Promoting Goosebumps Form a Niche to Regulate Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Muscles and nerves that cause goosebumps also help control hair growth.
research New Activators and Inhibitors in the Hair Cycle Clock: Targeting Stem Cells’ State of Competence
The conclusion is that Fgf18 and Tgf-ß signaling could be targeted for hair loss treatments.
research Functional complexity of hair follicle stem cell niche and therapeutic targeting of niche dysfunction for hair regeneration
Understanding how hair follicle stem cells work can help find new ways to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
research Hair-Growth Potential of Ginseng and Its Major Metabolites: A Review on Its Molecular Mechanisms

research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Aging in hair follicle stem cells and niche microenvironment
Aging in hair follicle stem cells leads to hair graying, thinning, and loss.
research Efficacy of fractional lasers in treating alopecia: a literature review
Fractional lasers seem effective and safe for treating hair loss, but more research is needed to find the best treatment methods.
research Getting to the Core of the Dermal Papilla
The document concludes that understanding dermal papilla cells is key to improving hair regeneration treatments.
research The effects of narrowbands of visible light upon some skin disorders: a review
Visible light can improve skin disorders and hair loss, but more research is needed to understand long-term effects.
research Gynecologic and andrologic dermatology and the metabolic syndrome
Skin diseases linked to insulin resistance should be managed to prevent diabetes and reduce heart disease risk.
research The promotion of hair regrowth by topical application of a Perilla frutescens extract through increased cell viability and antagonism of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone
Applying an extract from Perilla frutescens helps hair grow and fights the effects of hair loss hormones.
research Interconnected PolymerS TeChnology (IPSTiC): An Effective Approach for the Modulation of 5α-Reductase Activity in Hair Loss Conditions
A new anti-baldness patch effectively treats hair loss by blocking enzymes linked to the condition.
research Spatial and temporal control of laminin-511 and -332 expressions during catagen
Laminin-511 may help promote hair growth, while laminin-332 does not affect hair loss.
research Human Hair Follicle: An Update on Biology and Perspectives in Hair Growth Disorders Treatment
New treatments for hair growth disorders are needed due to limited current options and complex hair follicle biology.
