Hair ages due to various factors and treatments like minoxidil and finasteride can help, but more research and better public awareness are needed.
research A previously undescribed cutaneous paraneoplastic syndrome in a cat with thymoma
Thymoma in cats can cause hair loss without inflammation.
research Embryology, Histology, and Physiology of the Hair Follicle
The document explains how hair follicles develop, their structure, and how they grow.
research Immunopathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
Hair loss in Lichen Planopilaris is caused by immune system issues damaging hair follicles and stem cells.
research A primer for studying cell cycle dynamics of the human hair follicle
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle cell cycles is crucial for hair growth and alopecia research, and recommends specific techniques and future research directions.

Some cancer treatments can cause permanent hair loss.
research Hereditary, Congenital, and Acquired Alopecias
Different types of hair loss in dogs and cats have various causes and treatments, with outcomes ranging from good to uncertain.
research Alopecias
The document concludes that non-scarring alopecias can be reversed, but scarring alopecias cause permanent hair loss.
research Environmental Influences on the Hair Follicle
Environmental factors like temperature and nutrition affect hair growth, with humans showing seasonal hair growth differences.
research Neuroimmunology of Stress: Skin Takes Center Stage
Stress can worsen skin and hair conditions by affecting the skin's immune response and hormone levels.
research Molecular Control of Epithelial–Mesenchymal Interactions During Hair Follicle Cycling
Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions control hair growth cycles through specific molecular signals.
research Signaling Involved in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Development
The conclusion is that proper signaling is crucial for hair growth and development, and errors can lead to cancer or hair loss.
research Dermal papilla cell number specifies hair size, shape and cycling and its reduction causes follicular decline
More dermal papilla cells in hair follicles lead to larger, healthier hair, while fewer cells cause hair thinning and loss.
research Molecular biology of hair morphogenesis: Development and cycling
Understanding hair growth involves complex interactions between molecules and could help treat hair disorders.
research Oxidative stress in ageing of hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research Principles of Hair Cycle Control
Manipulating the catagen and telogen phases of hair growth could lead to treatments for hair disorders.
research Learning from nudity: lessons from the nude phenotype
The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
research Androgen excess: Investigations and management
The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.
research Progressive Alopecia Reveals Decreasing Stem Cell Activation Probability during Aging of Mice with Epidermal Deletion of DNA Methyltransferase 1
Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
research Evidence That the Satin Hair Mutant Gene Foxq1 Is among Multiple and Functionally Diverse Regulatory Targets for Hoxc13 during Hair Follicle Differentiation
The gene Foxq1, controlled by Hoxc13, is crucial for hair follicle differentiation.
research EEMCO Guidance for the Assessment of Hair Shedding and Alopecia
The document explains hair growth and shedding, factors affecting it, and methods to evaluate hair loss, emphasizing the importance of skin biopsy for diagnosis.
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 Hair Follicle Regeneration in Skin Grafts: Current Concepts and Future Perspectives
