January 2014 in “Reactions Weekly” A woman experienced unusual hair loss and skin reactions after taking phenobarbital, but her hair grew back after treatment.
November 2013 in “Elsevier eBooks” Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.

June 2012 in “Springer eBooks” Eating disorders can cause various hair problems, and while hair loss in these disorders is linked to metabolic syndrome, treatment focuses on specific medications and lifestyle changes for the syndrome.
April 2012 in “Cancer research” Blocking mTORC1 may help prevent skin cancer by stopping the growth of certain skin stem cells.
February 2012 in “Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE” A new imaging technique can observe stem cells in living mice without harming them.
Laser hair removal may cause skin changes that prevent hair regrowth.
Recent discoveries have improved our understanding of hair loss, but challenges in treatment and knowledge among specialists still exist.
Rosemary oil can boost hair growth by increasing certain enzyme activities and cytokine expression.
