research In vitro skin models to study epithelial regeneration from the hair follicle
PSU are better than THF at regenerating skin layers in lab models.
research DNA Methylation as an Epigenetic Memory Keeper during Skin Development and Regeneration
DNA methylation is essential for skin and hair follicle development, and could be a target for treating skin diseases.
research Unilateral widespread lichen planus following Blaschko's lines afterMycoplasma pneumoniaeinfection
An 8-year-old girl developed a rare skin condition in a linear pattern on one side of her body after a lung infection, which improved with treatment.
research Alopecia
The document concludes that alopecia has significant social and psychological effects, leading to a market for hair loss treatments.
research GROWTH FACTORS IN HAIR ORGAN DEVELOPMENT AND THE HAIR GROWTH CYCLE
Growth factors are crucial for hair development and could help treat hair diseases.
research Advances in Hair Diseases
The review highlights the importance of stem cells in hair health and suggests new treatment strategies for hair loss conditions.
research The Ludwig pattern of androgenetic alopecia is due to a hierarchy of androgen sensitivity within follicular units that leads to selective miniaturization and a reduction in the number of terminal hairs per follicular unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss in women results from varying sensitivity in hair follicles, causing fewer visible hairs.
research Deciphering the functions of the hair follicle infundibulum in skin physiology and disease
The hair follicle infundibulum plays a key role in skin health and disease, and understanding it better could lead to new skin disease treatments.
research The hair cycle and its regulation
Hormones, nutrition, and seasonal changes regulate hair growth cycles, with androgens extending growth phases and factors like aging and malnutrition affecting hair loss and thinning.
research Developing stratified epithelia: lessons from the epidermis and thymus
The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.

research Molecular Dissection of Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions in the Hair Follicle
Understanding gene expression in hair follicles can reveal insights into hair growth and disorders.
research Overexpression of activin A in the skin of transgenic mice reveals new activities of activin in epidermal morphogenesis, dermal fibrosis and wound repair
Overexpression of activin A in mice skin causes skin thickening, fibrosis, and improved wound healing.
research α3β1-integrin regulates hair follicle but not interfollicular morphogenesis in adult epidermis
α3β1-integrin is crucial for maintaining normal hair follicle shape and function but not needed for the development of the surrounding skin.
research An Ovol2‐Zeb1 transcriptional circuit regulates epithelial directional migration and proliferation
The Ovol2-Zeb1 circuit is crucial for skin healing and hair growth by guiding cell movement and growth.
research Hair growth regulation by the extract of aromatic plant Erica multiflora
Erica multiflora plant extract can help hair grow by stimulating growth-related cells and triggering hair cycle changes.
research Cytokeratin 15 expression in central, centrifugal, cicatricial alopecia: new observations in normal and diseased hair follicles
CK15 is not a reliable marker for stem cells in damaged hair follicles from patients with CCCA.
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 Abstracts
Mice treatments didn't grow hair, a patient treatment may affect immune response, and people with hair loss often feel anxious or depressed.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
research Genome-wide Maps of Histone Modifications Unwind In Vivo Chromatin States of the Hair Follicle Lineage
Hair follicle stem cells use specific chromatin changes to control their growth and differentiation.
research Expression of Calcium-Binding S100 Proteins A4 and A6 in Regions of the Epithelial Sac Associated with the Onset of Hair Follicle Regeneration
S100A4 and S100A6 proteins may activate stem cells for hair follicle regeneration and could be potential targets for hair loss treatments.
research Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling Regulates Postnatal Hair Follicle Differentiation and Cycling
Blocking BMP signaling causes hair loss and disrupts hair growth cycles.
research Brg1 Governs a Positive Feedback Circuit in the Hair Follicle for Tissue Regeneration and Repair
