research Melatonin promotes Cashmere goat (Capra hircus) secondary hair follicle growth: a view from integrated analysis of long non-coding and coding RNAs
Melatonin helps Cashmere goats grow more hair by affecting certain genes and cell pathways.
research Why care about Linear Hair Growth Rates (LHGR)? A study using in vivo imaging and computer assisted image analysis after manual processing (CAIAMP) in unaffected male controls and men with male pattern hair loss (MPHL)
Thicker hair grows faster; hair loss patients have slower growth.
research NF-κB Participates in Mouse Hair Cycle Control and Plays Distinct Roles in the Various Pelage Hair Follicle Types
NF-κB is crucial for different stages and types of hair growth in mice.
research The topical penta-peptide Gly-Pro-Ile-Gly-Ser increases the proportion of thick hair in Japanese men with androgenetic alopecia
GPIGS peptide increases thick hair growth in balding Japanese men.
research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice*
Prolactin affects when mice shed and grow hair.
research Culture of the human pilosebaceous unit, hair follicle and sebaceous gland
The article concludes that developing in vitro models for human hair structures is important for research and reducing animal testing, but there are challenges like obtaining suitable samples and the models' limitations.
research Exogenous and endogenous lipids of human hair
Removing external lipids from hair reduces moisture and increases strength, while removing internal lipids decreases water permeability.
research miR-140-5p in Small Extracellular Vesicles From Human Papilla Cells Stimulates Hair Growth by Promoting Proliferation of Outer Root Sheath and Hair Matrix Cells
miR-140-5p in certain cell vesicles helps hair growth by boosting cell proliferation.
research Promotion effect of acankoreoside J, a lupane-triterpene in Acanthopanax koreanum, on hair growth
Acankoreoside J from Acanthopanax koreanum may help promote hair growth.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice
Prolactin affects when mice shed and grow hair.
research Biology of Human Hair: Know Your Hair to Control It
Understanding hair biology is key to developing better treatments for hair and scalp issues.
research Biomechanics of hair fibre growth: A multi-scale modeling approach
The model shows that factors like follicle shape and stiffness are key for hair growth and anchoring.
research Age, lifestyle and self‐perceptions of hair: Is there an association with hair diameter and tensile properties?
Older age and certain lifestyles are linked to thinner, weaker hair, while how you see your hair relates to its thickness.
research Use of hair pores to determine the orientation of collagen fibers in skin
A new method using hair pores can help align skin grafts better, improving results.
research Assessment of hair and cashmere properties and their genetic background of several goat breeds in Southwest China
Crossbreeding improves goat fiber quality, and specific genes affect hair traits and color.
research Neural Mechanisms of Hair Growth Control
Nerves and chemicals in the body can affect hair growth and loss.
research Glucose metabolism regulates expression of hair-inductive genes of dermal papilla spheres via histone acetylation
Hair growth genes work better with more glucose due to changes in gene-regulating markers.
research Vitamins and their derivatives synergistically promote hair shaft elongation ex vivo via PlGF/VEGFR-1 signalling activation
Certain vitamins and their derivatives can help hair grow longer by activating specific growth signals.
research Histomorphometric study of hair follicle of Assam Hill goat during preruminant, transitional and ruminant age groups
Ruminant goats have larger and more defined hair follicles than younger goats.
research Skin and hair on-a-chip: in vitro skin models versus ex vivo tissue maintenance with dynamic perfusion
The Multi-Organ-Chip improves the growth and quality of skin and hair in the lab, potentially replacing animal testing.
research Improvement of androgenetic alopecia with topicalSophora flavescensAiton extract, and identification of the two active compounds in the extract that stimulate proliferation of human hair keratinocytes
Sophora flavescens extract helps hair growth and treats hair loss.
research Activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling is involved in hair growth-promoting effect of 655-nm red light and LED in in vitro culture model
