research Refining hair restoration technique
In 2002, hair restoration improved by using a different area for grafts and absorbable sutures, leading to less discomfort and better results.
research Current Status of Hair Restoration Surgery
In 2011, hair restoration was a specialized field in plastic surgery, using techniques like "Ultrarefined follicular unit hair transplantation" to minimize scarring and promote hair growth, with future treatments like stem cell therapy and hair cloning still being tested.
research Notes from the Editor Emeritus
Early attempts at using cloned cells for hair transplants failed, but 3D cell growth showed some promise.
research Hairline Restoration: Difference in Men and Woman—Length and Shape
Men and women have different hairline restoration needs, with natural design being more complex for women, and hairline changes being important for transgender individuals' transitions.
research Hair transplantation at 2001
Hair transplantation has improved to use smaller grafts for a natural look and may include follicle cloning in the future; non-surgical treatments are also effective.
research Stable transfection and identification of a hair follicle-specific expression vector of IGFBP-5 in goat fetal fibroblasts
The method successfully created stable transfection donor cells for goat hair follicle research.
research Graft Assisted Donor Closure
Transplanting beard hair into a scalp wound after hair transplant surgery improves scar appearance and hair keeps its normal traits.
research The Benefit of Donor‐Site Closure in Hair Transplantation
Layered suture closure for hair transplant donor sites results in smaller scars and easier future harvesting but takes more time and may temporarily increase hair shedding.
research A Single-Scar Technique for Donor Harvesting in Hair Transplantation Surgery
A new hair transplant method creates one appealing scar, uses donor hair better, and speeds up surgery.
research Superiority of occipital donor sites for split‐thickness skin grafting in dermatosurgery: Results of a prospective randomized controlled study
Occipital donor sites for skin grafts heal faster, hurt less, look better, and have fewer complications than femoral sites.
research Cloning of a Functional Vitamin D Receptor from the Lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), an Ancient Vertebrate Lacking a Calcified Skeleton and Teeth
Lampreys have a functional vitamin D receptor that may help detoxify harmful substances.
research Cloning of wrinkle-free, a previously uncharacterized mouse mutation, reveals crucial roles for fatty acid transport protein 4 in skin and hair development
Fatty acid transport protein 4 is essential for skin and hair development.
research Cloning, computational analysis and expression profiling of steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 (SRD5A1) gene during reproductive phases and ovatide stimulation in endangered catfish, Clarias magur
The research identified and described a gene important for hormone conversion in endangered catfish, which varies in activity during different reproductive stages and after hormone treatment.
research Use of Urinary Bladder Matrix, a Bioactive, Acellular Scaffold, in Transplant Donor Scars and Androgenetic Alopecia: Initial Clinical Experience
UBM helps hair regrowth in men and women with hair loss.
research The zombie commodity: hair and the politics of its globalization
The article concludes that the global hair trade is exploitative and reflects complex cultural and economic issues.
research Hair Transplantation for Men and Women
Hair transplantation has improved to look more natural, but managing patient expectations and using precise techniques are key for the best outcomes.
research Clinical and molecular genetic studies in hereditary hair loss
Researchers found a genetic link for hereditary hair loss but need more analysis to identify the exact gene.
research Molecular cloning, characterization, and expression of sheep FGF5 gene
Researchers identified a new variant of the FGF5 gene in sheep that affects hair length.
research Permeation of topically applied caffeine through human skin – a comparison of in vivo and in vitro data
Caffeine penetrates human skin in lab tests similarly to real-life conditions, but actual skin use is still essential for accurate results.
research Surgical hair restoration
Surgical hair restoration involves moving hair from a non-balding area to a balding area, with the transplanted hair not subject to male pattern baldness. Medications can slow hair loss and regrow some hair, but successful treatment needs careful planning, skill, and ethical responsibility due to progressive hair loss and limited donor hair.
research Follicular Transplantation
Careful planning and patient counseling can lead to excellent hair transplant results, often in one or two sessions.
research Does the Recipient Site Influence the Hair Growth Characteristics in Hair Transplantation?
The place where hair is transplanted can affect its growth and survival rates.
research The History of Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation has evolved to refined techniques like FUE and FUT, with Finasteride and Minoxidil as the only other proven treatments for hair loss.
research Does the Recipient Site Influence the Hair Growth Characteristics in Hair Transplantation?
The recipient site can affect the growth and survival of transplanted hair but not its thickness.
research “Cloned” Hairlines
Cutting and implanting hair follicles can create finer, more natural-looking hairlines, with about half of the implanted hairs growing back.
research Surgical interventions for androgenetic alopecia
Hair transplant works well, but needs more research for better results.
research Use of urinary bladder matrix, a bioactive, acellular scaffold along with platelet rich plasma (PRP) in transplant donor scars and androgenetic alopecia: 5-year experience in hair duplication and hair loss prevention/non-surgical restoration
Using urinary bladder matrix and platelet rich plasma can effectively treat transplant scars and prevent hair loss.
research Single-Layer vs. Double-Layer Donor Scalp Wound Closure in Strip Harvest.
Double-layer scalp wound closure is better than single-layer closure after strip hair transplant surgery.
research Bioengineering the Hair Follicle
Bioengineering can potentially treat hair loss by regenerating hair follicles and cloning hair, but the process is complex and needs more research.
