research Hair follicle elongation in organ culture of skin from newborn and adult mice
Insulin or IGF-I is needed for hair growth in newborn mice, while minoxidil helps adult mouse hair grow, suggesting a way to study human hair loss.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.

research Hair Restoration
Hair restoration surgery redistributes existing hair to achieve a natural look, with visible regrowth in 3-4 months and rare complications, mostly aesthetic.
research A comparison of graft implantation techniques for hair transplantation
The best hair transplant method depends on the desired look; faster techniques may not give better results or save money.
research Vellus hairs in the frontal scalp in early female pattern hair loss
More vellus hairs in frontal scalp indicate early female pattern hair loss.
research Long pulsed Nd: YAG laser with inbuilt cool sapphire tip for long term hair reduction on type- IV and V skin: A prospective analysis of 200 patients
