research Hair cosmetic alterations
The document concludes that individualized treatments for hair issues are effective, certain hair changes can indicate neurocutaneous diseases, specific lotions improve skin health, laser hair removal works but needs more study on long-term effects, men's cosmetics are diverse, peeling is effective but can have side effects, and facial pigmentation is often due to overactive skin cells.
research Lgr5 marks cycling, yet long-lived, hair follicle stem cells
Lgr5 is a marker for active, long-lasting stem cells in mouse hair follicles.
research Control of hair growth and follicle size by VEGF-mediated angiogenesis
VEGF helps hair grow and determines follicle size by increasing blood vessel growth.
research Adipocyte Lineage Cells Contribute to the Skin Stem Cell Niche to Drive Hair Cycling
Fat-related cells are important for initiating hair growth.
research Molecular Dissection of Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions in the Hair Follicle
Understanding gene expression in hair follicles can reveal insights into hair growth and disorders.
research The hair cycle
The document concludes that the hair cycle is a complex process involving growth, regression, and rest phases, regulated by various molecular signals.
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.

research Fgf9 from dermal γδ T cells induces hair follicle neogenesis after wounding
A protein from certain immune cells is key for new hair growth after skin injury in mice.
research Dermal papilla cell number specifies hair size, shape and cycling and its reduction causes follicular decline
More dermal papilla cells in hair follicles lead to larger, healthier hair, while fewer cells cause hair thinning and loss.
research Noggin is required for induction of the hair follicle growth phase in postnatal skin
Noggin is necessary to start the hair growth phase in skin after birth.
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 Dermal β-catenin activity in response to epidermal Wnt ligands is required for fibroblast proliferation and hair follicle initiation
