Blocking COX, especially COX-2, in the skin can reduce inflammation and pain and may help prevent skin cancer.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
research Skin CD4+ memory T cells exhibit combined cluster-mediated retention and equilibration with the circulation
Memory T cells in the skin balance staying put and moving into the blood, clustering around hair follicles, and increasing in number after infection.
research Tactile innervation densities across the whole body
Young adults have about 230,000 tactile nerve fibers, decreasing 5-8% per decade with age.
research Transfollicular drug delivery—Is it a reality?
Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.

Estrogen loss during menopause worsens skin health, but hormone replacement therapy may improve it, though more research is needed.
research The Role of Vitamins and Minerals in Hair Loss: A Review
Some vitamins and minerals like vitamin D and iron can help with certain types of hair loss, but more research is needed for others.
research dsRNA Released by Tissue Damage Activates TLR3 to Drive Skin Regeneration
Damage to skin releases dsRNA, which activates TLR3 and helps in skin and hair follicle regeneration.
research Minoxidil Stimulates Mouse Vibrissae Follicles in Organ Culture
Minoxidil can help grow hair in mice by making cells grow and improving hair quality. More research needed.
research Stress exposure modulates peptidergic innervation and degranulates mast cells in murine skin
Stress increases nerve fibers and immune cell activity in mouse skin, possibly worsening skin conditions.
