Scientists created early-stage hair follicles from human skin cells, which could help treat baldness and study hair growth.
research TYPICAL MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SKIN STRUCTURE OF THE HAIR PART OF THE NORMAL HUMAN HEAD AND WITH HAIR LOSS
Androgenic alopecia causes hair follicle degradation and skin restructuring, but some hair elements remain.
research Evidence from a humanized mouse model of androgenetic alopecia that platelet‐rich plasma stimulates hair regrowth, hair shaft diameter and vellus‐to‐terminal hair reconversion in vivo

research 1315 An Integrated model of alopecia areata biomarkers highlights both Th1/Th2 upregulation, with stronger correlations between Th2 activation and disease severity
Both Th1 and Th2 immune responses are increased in alopecia areata, with Th2 response more strongly linked to how severe the disease is.
research Effect of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone on Apoptosis in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.
research Stimulation of the Follicular Bulge LGR5+ and LGR6+ Stem Cells with the Gut-Derived Human Alpha Defensin 5 Results in Decreased Bacterial Presence, Enhanced Wound Healing, and Hair Growth from Tissues Devoid of Adnexal Structures
