Disrupting Acvr1b in mice causes severe hair loss and thicker skin.
research α3β1-integrin regulates hair follicle but not interfollicular morphogenesis in adult epidermis
α3β1-integrin is crucial for maintaining normal hair follicle shape and function but not needed for the development of the surrounding skin.
research Proliferative and necrotizing otitis externa in four cats
Topical 0.1% tacrolimus significantly improved ear infections in cats.
research An Ovol2‐Zeb1 transcriptional circuit regulates epithelial directional migration and proliferation
The Ovol2-Zeb1 circuit is crucial for skin healing and hair growth by guiding cell movement and growth.

research Promotion of hair follicle development and trichogenesis by Wnt-10b in cultured embryonic skin and in reconstituted skin
Wnt-10b is important for starting hair growth and developing hair follicles.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
research Nuclear Factor I-C Regulates TGF-β-dependent Hair Follicle Cycling*
Nuclear Factor I-C is important for controlling hair growth by affecting the TGF-β1 pathway.
research Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Hair Follicle–Specific Gene, Hacl-1
Researchers found a new gene, hacl-1, that is active in mouse hair follicles during hair growth and may be important for hair biology.
research Alopecia as a rare but distinct manifestation of pemphigus vulgaris
Hair loss is a rare but recognized symptom of pemphigus vulgaris, with patients usually regrowing hair after treatment.
research Angiogenin is expressed in human dermal papilla cells and stimulates hair growth
Angiogenin helps hair grow by stimulating cell growth and blood vessel formation.
research Advances in the Study of Stem-Cell-Enriched Hair Follicle Bulge Cells: A Review Featuring Characterization and Isolation of Human Bulge Cells
Scientists have made progress in understanding hair follicle stem cells, identifying specific genes and markers, and suggesting their use in treating hair and skin conditions.
research Targeted expression of SV40 T antigen in the hair follicle of transgenic mice produces an aberrant hair phenotype
SV40 T antigen in hair follicles causes abnormal hair and health issues in mice.
research Minoxidil 5% Solution for Topical Treatment of Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome
Minoxidil 5% solution significantly improved hair density in a girl with loose anagen hair syndrome over 28 months, with no side effects.
research Molecular Genetics of Alopecias
Scientists have found specific genes linked to different hair loss conditions, which could lead to new treatments.
research Increased retinol‐binding protein (RBP) 4 and anti‐RBP4 antibody in alopecia areata

research Towards developing an organotypic model for the preclinical study and manipulation of human hair matrix-dermal papilla interactions
The study created a new model to better understand human hair growth and health.
research Alopecia in Harlequin mutant mice is associated with reduced AIF protein levels and expression of retroviral elements
Harlequin mutant mice have hair loss due to low AIF protein levels and retroviral element activity.
research The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
research Hair in health and disease: an introduction
Hair health depends on various factors and hair loss can significantly affect a person's well-being; understanding hair biology is key for creating effective hair care treatments.
research Corneodesmosin: Structure, Function and Involvement in Pathophysiology
