Minoxidil boosts hair growth by opening potassium channels and increasing cell activity.
research EZH1 and EZH2 cogovern histone H3K27 trimethylation and are essential for hair follicle homeostasis and wound repair
EZH1 and EZH2 are crucial for healthy hair growth and skin repair.
research Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Promote Epidermal Differentiation and Hair Follicle Development
Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species are essential for skin and hair development.
research Epidermal Notch signalling: differentiation, cancer and adhesion
Notch signalling helps skin cells differentiate and prevents tumors.
research Apoptosis in human skin development: Morphogenesis, periderm, and stem cells
Apoptosis is essential for human skin development and forming a functional epidermis.
research Brain and muscle Arnt-like protein-1 (BMAL1) controls circadian cell proliferation and susceptibility to UVB-induced DNA damage in the epidermis
BMAL1 controls skin cell growth and UV damage risk, peaking at night.
research Defining dermal adipose tissue
Skin fat cells help with skin balance, hair growth, and healing wounds.
research More than one way to skin . . .
Skin stem cells help repair damage and maintain healthy skin.

AA-PRP injections effectively increase hair count and thickness for male pattern hair loss.
research Evidence that Myc activation depletes the epidermal stem cell compartment by modulating adhesive interactions with the local microenvironment
Myc activation reduces skin stem cells by affecting cell adhesion.
research Lack of the Vitamin D Receptor is Associated with Reduced Epidermal Differentiation and Hair Follicle Growth
Vitamin D Receptor is crucial for normal skin and hair growth.
research Bone Morphogenetic Proteins and Their Antagonists in Skin and Hair Follicle Biology
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) help control skin health, hair growth, and color, and could potentially be used to treat skin and hair disorders.
research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research What does the concept of the stem cell niche really mean today?
Stem cell niches support, regulate, and coordinate stem cell functions.
research Epithelial stem cells and implications for wound repair
Different types of stem cells in hair follicles play unique roles in wound healing and hair growth, with some stem cells not originating from existing hair follicles but from non-hair follicle cells. WNT signaling and the Lhx2 factor are key in creating new hair follicles.
research Hierarchical patterning modes orchestrate hair follicle morphogenesis
Hair follicle patterns form through a mix of self-organization and signaling interactions.
research Epidermal Wnt/β-catenin signaling regulates adipocyte differentiation via secretion of adipogenic factors
Epidermal Wnt/β-catenin signaling controls fat cell formation and hair growth.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Oxidative stress in ageing of hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research Overexpression of Smad7 results in severe pathological alterations in multiple epithelial tissues
Too much Smad7 can cause serious changes in skin tissues, including problems with hair growth, thymus shrinkage, and eye development issues.
research Concise Review: Wnt Signaling Pathways in Skin Development and Epidermal Stem Cells
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin development and hair growth.
research Overexpression of Hedgehog Signaling Is Associated with Epidermal Tumor Formation in Vitamin D Receptor–Null Mice
Lack of vitamin D receptor increases skin tumor risk by boosting hedgehog signaling.
