Hair follicle melanocytes die during hair regression.
research Omeprazole-induced hypertrichosis in two children
Two children grew extra hair from taking omeprazole, which went away after they stopped the medication.
research Permeation of topically applied Magnesium ions through human skin is facilitated by hair follicles
Hair follicles help magnesium get through the skin more effectively.
research A Nonrandomized study of trichoscopy patterns using nonpolarized (contact) and polarized (noncontact) dermatoscopy in hair and shaft disorders
Polarized dermoscopy is slightly better than nonpolarized for diagnosing hair disorders, with each method having its own strengths.
research Defining The Role of Primary Cilia on Skin Derived Precursors.
Elongating cilia boosts SKP stem cell renewal, especially with PDGF.
research SAT320 Cyclic Cushing Syndrome Caused By An ACTH-Producing Pheochromocytoma
A woman's cyclic Cushing syndrome was caused by a tumor in her adrenal gland that produced ACTH.
research Impact of acid (”progressive brush”) and alkaline straightening on the hair fiber: Differential effects on the cuticle and cortex properties
Glyoxylic acid straighteners cause more protein loss but have similar hair strength effects as traditional alkaline straighteners.
research The human hair follicle has established a fully functional peripheral equivalent of the hypothamalic‐pituitary‐adrenal‐axis (HPA)
Human hair follicles can produce stress hormones like the body's main stress response system.
research Alopecia areata – hyperactivity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis is a myth?
The study found no significant difference in stress hormone levels between people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals, suggesting that the disease is not caused by an overactive stress response system.
research 258 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 inhibition attenuates the adverse effects of glucocorticoids on dermal papilla cells
Blocking a specific enzyme can reduce the negative impact of stress hormones on hair growth cells.

Panitumumab can cause excessive ear hair growth.
research Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex Keratinocytes Show Disturbed Mitochondrial Positioning and Activity
Skin cells from people with Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex have abnormally placed and less active mitochondria.
research 494 Epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa, muscular dystrophy, and immune-mediated myasthenia gravis in a patient with homozygous nonsense PLEC mutation
A patient with a PLEC mutation has epidermolysis bullosa, muscular dystrophy, and myasthenia gravis, which improved with steroid treatment.
research The impact of the presence of hirsutism and hypertrichosis on the psychological state of women suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome and hyperandrogenism
Excessive body hair in women with PCOS can lower self-esteem and cause depression and anxiety.
research Proteomics Characterization of Primary Human Oral Epithelial Cells Using a Novel Culture Technique for Use in Tissue Regeneration
Epithelial-derived Pop-Up Keratinocytes (ePUKs) may enhance wound healing in regenerative medicine.
research Modeling of ionizing radiation induced hair follicle regenerative dynamics
Hair follicles can regenerate after radiation damage but not during a specific growth phase.
