research Nitrogen and carbon isotope signatures in cattle hair
Cattle hair isotope analysis can reveal diet and farm system characteristics.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research The Metabolism and Control Mechanism of Human Hair Follicles
Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research Genetic Ablation of the CDP/Cux Protein C Terminus Results in Hair Cycle Defects and Reduced Male Fertility
Mutant CDP/Cux protein causes hair defects and reduced male fertility in mice.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration Using Grafted Rodent and Human Cells
Grafted rodent and human cells can regenerate hair follicles, but efficiency decreases with age.
research Inhibition of β-catenin signalling in dermal fibroblasts enhances hair follicle regeneration during wound healing
Blocking β-catenin in skin cells improves hair growth during wound healing.
research A new path in defining light parameters for hair growth: Discovery and modulation of photoreceptors in human hair follicle

research Gelatin-chondroitin-6-sulfate-hyaluronic acid scaffold seeded with vascular endothelial growth factor 165 modified hair follicle stem cells as a three-dimensional skin substitute
Modified rat stem cells on a special scaffold improved blood vessel formation and wound healing in skin substitutes.
research Proline-rich protein-like PRPL1 controls elongation of root hairs in Arabidopsis thaliana
A gene in Arabidopsis thaliana, AtPRPL1, affects root hair length but not cell wall composition.
research Black women’s hair: the main scalp dermatoses and aesthetic practices in women of African ethnicity
Black women's unique hair characteristics and styling practices can lead to specific scalp conditions, which require early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
research Signalling by senescent melanocytes hyperactivates hair growth
Senescent melanocytes can boost hair growth by activating hair stem cells.
research Characterization and quantification of wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis using in vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy
In vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy is an effective, non-invasive way to study and measure new hair growth after skin injury in mice.
research The Success of Thread-embedding Therapy in Generating Hair Re-growth in Mice Points to Its Possibly Having a Similar Effect in Humans
Thread-embedding therapy helped hair grow back in mice and might do the same in humans.
research Induction of osteoblastic differentiation of neural crest-derived stem cells from hair follicles
Hair follicle cells can become bone-like cells, useful for bone repair.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Localisation and regulation of cholesterol transporters in the human hair follicle: mapping changes across the hair cycle
Cholesterol transport in hair follicles decreases from growth to regression phase.
research A frameshift insertion in SGK3 leads to recessive hairlessness in Scottish Deerhounds: a candidate gene for human alopecia conditions
A genetic mutation in the SGK3 gene causes hairlessness in Scottish Deerhounds and may relate to human hair loss.
research A Simple Method to Extract DNA from Hair Shafts Using Enzymatic Laundry Powder
DNA can be quickly and effectively extracted from hair using laundry powder.
research Love is in the hair: arginine methylation of human hair proteins as novel cardiovascular biomarkers
Human hair protein modifications could potentially indicate heart disease risk.
research New Treatments for Hair Loss
Several new treatments for different types of hair loss show promise in improving patient quality of life.
research Topical Products for Human Hair Regeneration: A Comparative Study on an Animal Model
Minoxidil was the most effective treatment for hair regrowth in rats compared to Aminexil or Kerium.

research Hair Follicle Stem Cells: the Signaling Hub of the Skin
Hair follicle stem cells are important for maintaining healthy skin and interact with many signals.
research Chitosan stimulates root hair callose deposition and inhibits root hair growth
Chitosan slows root hair growth and causes a buildup of callose at low concentrations, but at high concentrations, it only inhibits growth without callose buildup.
