Changing Wnt signaling can lead to more or less hair growth and might help treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research Effect of Adenovirus-Mediated Expression of Sonic Hedgehog Gene on Hair Regrowth in Mice With Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Using a gene therapy with the Sonic Hedgehog gene helps mice regrow hair faster after losing it from chemotherapy.
research Xenobiotica-metabolizing enzymes in the skin of rat, mouse, pig, guinea pig, man, and in human skin models
Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.
research A Clinical and Biological Guide for Understanding Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia and Its Prevention
Scalp cooling can help prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss with a 50-90% success rate and is safe for patients.
research Aging in hair follicle stem cells and niche microenvironment
Aging in hair follicle stem cells leads to hair graying, thinning, and loss.
research The prolactin receptor as a therapeutic target in human diseases: browsing new potential indications
Blocking the prolactin receptor might help treat various diseases, but more research is needed.
research Macrophages Promote Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Regeneration in a CX3CR1- and TGF-β1–Dependent Manner
Macrophages help hair growth after injury through CX3CR1 and TGF-β1.
research Testosterone Improves Antidepressant‐Emergent Loss of Libido in Women: Findings from a Randomized, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled Trial
Testosterone may help increase sexual events for women with low libido due to antidepressants.
research Genetically-manipulated adult stem cells as therapeutic agents and gene delivery vehicle for wound repair and regeneration

research Fullerene nanomaterials potentiate hair growth
Fullerene nanomaterials help hair grow faster and increase hair follicles.
research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research The Mesenchymal Niche of the Hair Follicle Induces Regeneration by Releasing Primed Progenitors from Inhibitory Effects of Quiescent Stem Cells
The study found that a specific area of the hair follicle helps start hair growth by reducing the blocking effects on certain cells and controlling growth signals.
research Interventions for female pattern hair loss
Minoxidil effectively treats female pattern hair loss.
research Severe Physical Complications among Survivors of Stevens–Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis
SJS/TEN survivors often have severe, overlooked long-term physical problems that are not properly treated after leaving the hospital.
research FOXN1 Deficiency: from the Discovery to Novel Therapeutic Approaches
New treatments for immune disorders caused by FOXN1 deficiency are promising.
research Oncogenic senescence: a multi-functional perspective
Cellular senescence has both cancer-blocking and cancer-promoting effects, and targeting senescent cells may improve health and lifespan.
research STAT5 Activation in the Dermal Papilla Is Important for Hair Follicle Growth Phase Induction
STAT5 activation is crucial for starting the hair growth phase.
research Different Trichoscopic Features of Tinea Capitis and Alopecia Areata in Pediatric Patients
Trichoscopy can effectively tell apart tinea capitis and alopecia areata in children by looking for specific hair shapes.
research 1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 Modulates the Hair-Inductive Capacity of Dermal Papilla Cells: Therapeutic Potential for Hair Regeneration
Vitamin D3 can help improve hair growth by enhancing the function of specific skin cells and could be useful in hair regeneration treatments.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research Emotional Consequences of Finasteride: Fool’s Gold
