research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research The Hair Follicle
Dogs could be good models for studying human hair growth and hair loss.
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 The Hair Follicle Bulge: A Niche for Adult Stem Cells
The hair follicle bulge is an important area for adult stem cells involved in hair growth and repair, with potential for medical use needing more research.
research Testosterone-like immunoreactivity in hair measured in minute sample amounts - a competitive radioimmunoassay with an adequate limit of detection
The new test can measure very small amounts of testosterone in hair, and grinding the hair up first gives more accurate results.
research Single-cell profiling reveals a potent role of quercetin in promoting hair regeneration
Quercetin significantly helps hair growth by activating hair follicles and improving blood vessel formation around them.

Licorice root extract may promote hair growth in female rats.
research Stress, Hair Growth Control, and the Neuro-Endocrine-Immune Connection
Stress may affect hair growth by influencing hair follicle development and could contribute to hair loss.
research Abstracts
The document reports findings on genetic research, including ethical concerns about genome editing, improved diagnosis of mitochondrial mutations, solving inherited eye diseases, confirming gene roles in epilepsy, linking a gene to aneurysms, and identifying genes associated with age-related macular degeneration.
research Recognizing polycystic ovary syndrome in the primary care setting
Doctors should recognize and treat PCOS early in primary care to manage symptoms and lower risk of other health issues.
research Management of Facial Hair in Women

research TREATMENT OF DIFFUSE HAIR FALL (INTITHĀR AL-SHA'R) THROUGH UNANI MEDICINE: A CASE STUDY
Unani medicine effectively reduced hair loss in a 24-year-old woman without side effects.
research Patched-assoziierte Tumoren: Modifikatorgene und Pathogenese
The document concludes that the development of certain tumors is influenced by genetic background and that a specific gene modification can lead to tumor regression and reduced growth.
research Proteins observed in scalp hair from preschool children
Mothers have more hair proteins than their children, with age-related differences in protein patterns, and some proteins in hair could indicate early childhood development.
research Screening and Identification of LncRNAs Related to Villus Growth of Liaoning Cashmere Goats and Their Effects on Growth after FGF5 Treatment
Certain long non-coding RNAs in cashmere goats affect hair growth when treated with a specific growth factor.
research Acne Protection: Measures & Miseries
Acne can be managed with various treatments and requires psychological support due to its emotional impact.
research Phenotypic Plasticity: Driver of Cancer Initiation, Progression, and Therapy Resistance
Understanding phenotypic plasticity is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies.
research Balding hair follicle dermal papilla cells contain higher levels of androgen receptors than those from non-balding scalp
Cells from balding scalps have more androgen receptors than cells from non-balding scalps.
research MIM and Cortactin Antagonism Regulates Ciliogenesis and Hedgehog Signaling
MIM is crucial for hair follicle formation and regeneration by controlling cilia formation and hedgehog signaling through its interaction with Cortactin and Src.
research Animal models for the study of fetal tissue repair
Understanding how fetal wounds heal could help improve healing in adults.
research Lef1 Contributes to the Differentiation of Bulge Stem Cells by Nuclear Translocation and Cross-Talk with the Notch Signaling Pathway
Lef1 helps stem cells become hair cells by interacting with specific signaling pathways.
research Bi-allelic Mutations in LSS, Encoding Lanosterol Synthase, Cause Autosomal-Recessive Hypotrichosis Simplex
Mutations in the LSS gene cause a rare type of hereditary hair loss.
research WNT10A promotes an invasive and self-renewing phenotype in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
WNT10A helps esophageal cancer cells spread and keep renewing themselves.
research The Effect of Topical Minoxidil on Hair Follicular Cycles of Rats
Minoxidil speeds up hair growth in rats without prolonging growth phase.
research Effects of Ginseng Rhizome and Ginsenoside Ro on Testosterone 5α-Reductase and Hair Re-growth in Testosterone-treated Mice
Ginseng, especially red ginseng, may help regrow hair and block a hair loss-related enzyme.
research Fibromodulin reduces scar formation in adult cutaneous wounds by eliciting a fetal-like phenotype
Fibromodulin treatment helps reduce scarring and improves wound healing by making it more like fetal healing.
research The influence of sulfur and hair growth on stable isotope diet estimates for grizzly bears
Sulfur slightly improved diet estimates for grizzly bears, but hair growth timing varied, affecting results.
research The Cross-section Trichometer: A New Device for Measuring Hair Quantity, Hair Loss, and Hair Growth
