Adding hyaluronic acid helps create larger artificial hair follicles in the lab.
research The mouse hairy ears mutation exhibits an extended growth (anagen) phase in hair follicles and altered Hoxc gene expression in the ears
The mouse hairy ears mutation causes longer ear hair due to changes in gene expression.
research Epidermal growth factor induced apoptosis in the outer root sheath cells of anagen hair and changed the hair cycle to the catagen phase
Epidermal growth factor causes hair loss by triggering cell death and changing the hair cycle.

Red deer hair cells offer a new way to study how hormones affect hair growth.
research Multidimensional Profiling of Human Body Hairs Using Qualitative and Semi-Quantitative Approaches with SR-XRF, ATR-FTIR, DSC, and SEM-EDX
Body hairs can be used in forensic science and toxicology like scalp hair.
research Spontaneous Super-Contraction of Animal Hair
Animal hair can curl tightly on its own, especially in foxes, due to changes in keratin.
research A case of familial trichomegaly with synophrys in association with loose anagen syndrome
A 17-year-old girl and her brothers have a rare hair condition with long eyelashes, thick eyebrows, and easily pluckable hair.
research Epidermal Growth Factor Promotes Proliferation and Migration of Follicular Outer Root Sheath Cells via Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling
Epidermal Growth Factor helps hair follicle cells grow and move by activating a specific cell signaling pathway.
research The Transcriptomics and Epigenomics of Hair Follicles
research 503 A new chemosensory control of human hair growth: Olfactory receptor OR10J1 stimulation promotes scalp hair follicle growth and progenitor cell generation ex vivo
Stimulating OR10J1 can promote hair growth and may help treat hair loss.
research Immunolocalization of telomerases in human hairs identifies proliferating cells in the bulb matrix and outer root sheath
Telomerase-positive cells are mainly in the bulb matrix and outer root sheath of hair follicles.
research Author response: Coordinated hedgehog signaling induces new hair follicles in adult skin
Hedgehog signaling can create new hair follicles in adult skin but may increase cancer risk.
research 102 EZH2 is required for human hair follicle growth and epidermal differentiation
EZH2 is essential for hair growth and skin cell development.
research Cultured dermal papilla cells from androgen-dependent human hair follicles (e.g. beard) contain more androgen receptors than those from non-balding areas of scalp
Beard hair follicles have more androgen receptors than non-balding scalp hair follicles.
research Spontaneous hair follicle germ (HFG) formation in vitro, enabling the large-scale production of HFGs for regenerative medicine
Researchers found a new way to create hair-growing structures in the lab that can grow hair when put into mice.
research Molecular principles of hair follicle induction and morphogenesis
Hair follicle development is controlled by interactions between skin tissues and specific molecular signals.
research Comparative immunohistochemical analysis suggests a conserved role of EPS8L1 in epidermal and hair follicle barriers of mammals
