Key signals for hair follicle formation were identified.
research A technique for more precise distinction between catagen and telogen human hair follicles ex vivo
Researchers developed a new method using methylene blue staining to more accurately identify the growth stage of human hair follicles.
research Common genetic hair shaft abnormalities may be visualized by light and electron microscope
Genetic hair shaft abnormalities can be seen with microscopes and often affect scalp hair.
research In Vitro Growth of Postembryonic Hair
research Hedgehog signaling reprograms hair follicle niche fibroblasts to a hyper-activated state
Overactivating Hedgehog signaling makes hair follicle cells in mice grow hair faster and create more follicles.
research Differential Gene Expression Screening Between Black and Gray Hairs Using Subtractive Library and DNA Chip
Black hairs have more pigment-related genes, while gray hairs have more keratin-related genes.
research Genome-wide identification, characterization, and expression analysis of keratin genes (KRTs) family in yak (Bos grunniens)
Scientists found 53 keratin genes in yaks that are important for hair growth and share similarities with those in other animals.
research Keratin-mediated hair growth and its underlying biological mechanism
Keratin injections can promote hair growth by affecting hair-forming cells and tissue development.
research Stimulation of hair growth in humans by cell-secreted proteins
Proteins released by cells can promote hair growth in people.
research Compartmentation of Mitochondrial and Oxidative Metabolism in Growing Hair Follicles: A Ring of Fire
Growing hair follicles have high mitochondrial activity and ROS in specific regions, aiding hair formation.
research Signalling by senescent melanocytes hyperactivates hair growth
Senescent melanocytes can boost hair growth by activating hair stem cells.
research Selected Abstracts
Parthenolide promotes hair growth in mice and may influence pathways related to male pattern baldness.
research Hair regeneration after epidermal peeling
Apremilast showed mixed results for hair regrowth in alopecia areata.
research The use of polyethylenimine–DNA to topically deliver hTERT to promote hair growth
Using polyethylenimine-DNA to deliver the hTERT gene can stimulate hair growth and may be useful in treating hair loss, but there could be potential cancer risks.
research Melanocyte Subpopulation Turnover During the Human Hair Cycle: An Immunohistochemical Study
Melanocyte activity in hair follicles is linked to the hair growth cycle, being active in growth phases and inactive in rest phases.
research Pigtail hair in acute telogen effluvium – Lest we forget!
Pigtail hair is a sign of new hair growth and should be recognized in hair loss conditions like acute telogen effluvium.
research Expression of E6 and E7 papillomavirus oncogenes in the outer root sheath of hair follicles extends the growth phase and bypasses resting at telogen.
E6/E7 oncogenes in hair follicles cause continuous hair growth by skipping the resting phase.
research Shedding light on cashmere goat hair follicle biology: from morphology analyses to transcriptomic landascape
The research found genes that change during cashmere goat hair growth and could help determine the best time to harvest cashmere.
research Keratin Expression Provides Novel Insight into the Morphogenesis and Function of the Companion Layer in Hair Follicles
Keratin patterns in hair follicles help understand hair growth and potential hair and nail disorders.
research Congenital hypotrichosis due to short anagen
Some children are born with unusually short, fine hair because their hair growth phase is short, but this often gets better by itself during puberty.
research Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Neogenesis as a Promising Approach for Hair Regeneration
Hair can regrow after significant damage through a process similar to how it forms before birth, involving stem cells and various cell types and signals. This could be a new way to prevent scarring and promote hair growth.
research Loose anagen hair of childhood: The phenomenon of easily pluckable hair
Children with loose anagen hair have easily pluckable hair due to root sheath problems, and it might improve without treatment.
research Efficient delivery of transgenes to human hair follicle progenitor cells using topical lipoplex
research Human Hair Keratins.
research Differential sensitivity of epidermal cell subpopulations to β-catenin-induced ectopic hair follicle formation
Sebaceous glands can form new hair follicles when activated, but hair follicle bulges cannot.
research 1332 Understanding the role of glycogen metabolism in human hair follicle biology
Glycogen metabolism is important for energy and processes in human hair follicles, and hair follicles may produce glucose from lactate.
research Hair Cycle Control by Estrogens: Catagen Induction via Estrogen Receptor (ER)-α Is Checked by ERβ Signaling
Estrogen receptors affect hair growth, with ER beta slowing down the hair cycle changes caused by ER alpha.
research Mutations in the hair cortex keratin hHb6 cause the inherited hair disease monilethrix
research Never too old to regenerate? Wound induced hair follicle neogenesis after secondary intention healing in a geriatric patient
An 80-year-old patient grew new hair on a wound, showing that elderly people can still regenerate hair.
