A certain smell receptor in hair follicles can affect hair growth when activated by a synthetic sandalwood scent.
research Morphological Changes in Human Scalp Hair Roots during Deprivation of Protein
Not eating enough protein can cause hair roots to shrink and lose color, and hair to become thinner.
research Hair Growth Defects in Insig-Deficient Mice Caused by Cholesterol Precursor Accumulation and Reversed by Simvastatin
Mice lacking Insig proteins had hair growth problems due to cholesterol buildup, but this was fixed by the drug simvastatin.
research Practical Guidelines for Evaluation of Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome
Loose anagen hair syndrome, often affecting young girls, can be diagnosed with a hair-pull test and usually gets better on its own, but severe cases may need treatment.

Assessing newborn scalp hair can reveal important health information.
research A Microarray-Based Analysis Reveals that a Short Photoperiod Promotes Hair Growth in the Arbas Cashmere Goat
Shorter daylight increases hair growth in Cashmere goats.
research The spectrum of hair loss in patients with mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome
Some patients with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome experience hair loss, which may be similar to alopecia areata or linked to skin lesions, possibly due to abnormal T cells, and bexarotene can help treat it.
research Skin and hair: models for exploring organ regeneration
Skin and hair can help us understand organ regeneration, especially how certain stem cells might be used to form new organs.
research Gata6 promotes hair follicle progenitor cell renewal by genome maintenance during proliferation
Gata6 is important for protecting hair growth cells from DNA damage and keeping normal hair growth.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research A role for the Tgf-β/Bmp co-receptor Endoglin in the molecular oscillator that regulates the hair follicle cycle
Endoglin is crucial for proper hair growth cycles and stem cell activation in mice.
research Evaluation of hair loss
Detailed patient history and physical exams are crucial for diagnosing hair loss.
research HAIR MATRIX CELL KINETICS: A SELECTIVE REVIEW
Hair growth is influenced by factors like genetics and nutrition, and more research is needed to understand hair loss and growth mechanisms.
research Msx2 Supports Epidermal Competency during Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Neogenesis
The gene Msx2 is crucial for hair follicle regeneration during wound healing.
research Hair follicles and their role in skin health
Hair follicles are essential for skin health, aiding in hair growth, wound healing, and immune function.
research Identification of factors contributing to phenotypic divergence via quantitative image analyses of autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with homozygous c.736T>ALIPH mutation
Different hair fiber development might explain why hair loss severity varies in patients with a specific genetic mutation, and treatments that thicken hair could help.
research Hair Growth Promoting Effect of 4HGF Encapsulated with PGA Nanoparticles (PGA-4HGF) by β-Catenin Activation and Its Related Cell Cycle Molecules
PGA-4HGF may help treat hair loss by activating hair growth pathways and extending the hair growth phase.
research Light Microscopic Hair Abnormalities in Children: Retrospective Review of 119 Cases in a 10-Year Period
Over half of the children had abnormal hair under a microscope, with many having genetic hair conditions.
research Androgens downregulate BMP2 impairing the inductive role of dermal papilla cells on hair follicle stem cells differentiation
Androgens reduce BMP2, which weakens the ability of certain cells to help hair stem cells become different types of cells.
research Hair Loss in Children
Children's hair loss has many causes and requires careful diagnosis and personalized treatment, including emotional support.
research Hair loss.
Up to 50% of scalp hair can be lost before it appears thin, and treatment is only needed for hair loss caused by diseases or deficiencies.
research Identification of differentially expressed genes affecting hair and cashmere growth in the Laiwu black goat by microarray
Specific genes influence hair and cashmere growth in Laiwu black goats.
research Deslorelin Implant Treatment for Hair Cycle Arrest (Alopecia X) in Two Intact Male Keeshonden
Deslorelin implants successfully treated hair loss in two male Keeshonden dogs.
research Diagnosis and management of hair loss in children
