The document concludes that understanding hair follicle biology can lead to better hair loss treatments.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Hormones and the pilosebaceous unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research Rooster feathering, androgenic alopecia, and hormone-dependent tumor growth: What is in common?

research The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions during Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
research Female pattern hair loss: beyond an androgenic aetiology?
Estrogen and prolactin may play bigger roles in female hair loss than previously thought.
research Hair growth inhibition by psychoemotional stress: a mouse model for neural mechanisms in hair growth control
Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
