research The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions during Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
research Revisiting hyper- and hypo-androgenism by tandem mass spectrometry
The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.
