September 1978 in “International Journal of Dermatology” Hair growth is influenced by factors like genetics and nutrition, and more research is needed to understand hair loss and growth mechanisms.
6 citations
,
February 2014 in “Experimental Dermatology” Hair follicle regeneration is possible but challenging, especially in humans, due to the need for specific cells and a better understanding of how they signal growth.
1 citations

May 2017 in “InTech eBooks” Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
June 2025 in “Current Issues in Molecular Biology” Meloside A may help protect hair cells from damage linked to hair loss.
July 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” JW0061 may be a new treatment for hair loss by promoting hair growth through WNT signaling.
February 2023 in “Scientific Reports” Cold Atmospheric Microwave Plasma (CAMP) helps hair cells grow and could potentially treat hair loss.
August 2020 in “Research Square (Research Square)” Oxygen levels affect hair growth and color cells differently when they interact directly.
September 2017 in “Springer eBooks” Stem cells show promise for hair loss treatment, but no effective product for hair regeneration has been developed yet.
January 2015 in “Springer eBooks” Fat-derived stem cells and their secretions show promise for treating skin aging and hair loss.
19 citations
,
November 2001 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” Human hair follicles can regenerate and recover after severe injury by going through a brief abnormal resting phase before growing again.
July 2025 in “Scientific Reports” Serotonin helps hair grow by activating certain cells.
October 2024 in “Biology” Dermal papilla cells can help regrow hair and are promising for hair loss treatments.
61 citations
,

13 citations
,
June 2020 in “Stem Cells International” A substance from a specific gel helped to grow hair effectively in mice, suggesting it could potentially be used to treat hair loss in humans.
2 citations
,
January 2022 in “Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity” Exosomes from dermal papilla cells help hair follicle stem cells grow and survive.
November 2022 in “Scientific Data” The research identified genes and non-coding RNAs in cells that could be affected by testosterone, which may help understand hair loss and prostate cancer.
211 citations
,
February 2009 in “European journal of pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics” Hair follicles help absorb and store topical compounds, aiding targeted drug delivery.
14 citations
,
October 2020 in “Scientific reports” Hair greying is linked to reduced ATM protein in hair cells, which protects against stress and damage.
2 citations
,
June 2001 in “American Journal of Pathology” The document concludes that understanding how hair follicles naturally die and regenerate is important for insights into organ development and could impact health and disease treatment.
4 citations
,
September 2017 in “Skin appendage disorders” The dog with an Alopecia Areata-like condition showed signs of an autoimmune disease and partially regrew hair without treatment, suggesting dogs could be models for human AA research.
3 citations
,
April 2015 in “American journal of biomedical sciences” Androgens play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness and excessive hairiness.

88 citations
,
May 2005 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” Versican, a protein, is less present in thinning hair follicles and this decrease might contribute to common hair loss in men.
29 citations
,
March 2015 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Cyclosporine A promotes hair growth and prolongs the active growth phase in human hair follicles, but may work differently than in rodents.
