research Induction of the hair growth phase in postnatal mice by localized transient expression of Sonic hedgehog
Activating the Sonic hedgehog gene in mice can start the hair growth phase.
research Towards a “free radical theory of graying”: melanocyte apoptosis in the aging human hair follicle is an indicator of oxidative stress induced tissue damage
Oxidative stress causes hair to gray by damaging and killing pigment cells.
research Formation and Structure of Human Hair
Human hair growth and structure are influenced by keratin proteins, genes, melanin, and lipids.
research Melanogenesis During the Anagen-Catagen-Telogen Transformation of the Murine Hair Cycle
Hair stops producing melanin as it transitions from the growth phase to the resting phase.
research Skin Pigmentation Types, Causes and Treatment—A Review
Skin pigmentation varies due to genetics, UV exposure, and drugs, with treatments available but requiring medical advice.
research Methods in hair research: how to objectively distinguish between anagen and catagen in human hair follicle organ culture
A reliable system was developed to distinguish hair growth stages, aiding in identifying hair growth promoters or inhibitors.
research Thyroid Hormones Directly Alter Human Hair Follicle Functions: Anagen Prolongation and Stimulation of Both Hair Matrix Keratinocyte Proliferation and Hair Pigmentation
Thyroid hormones help hair grow, reduce hair loss, and increase hair pigment.
research A Guide to Assessing Damage Response Pathways of the Hair Follicle: Lessons From Cyclophosphamide-Induced Alopecia in Mice
The document concludes that assessing hair follicle damage due to cyclophosphamide in mice involves analyzing structural changes and suggests a scoring system for standardized evaluation.

New genetic locations explain much of hair color variation in Europeans.
research Melanocytes: The new Black
Melanocytes are crucial for skin pigmentation and can affect conditions like melanoma, vitiligo, and albinism, as well as hair color and hearing.
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 Laser hair removal
Laser hair removal has advanced to effectively reduce hair for various skin types and hair colors.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Aging of the hair follicle pigmentation system
Hair grays due to oxidative stress and fewer functioning melanocytes.
research Development of Heritable Melanoma in Transgenic Mice
The transgene likely activated an oncogene or interrupted a tumor suppressor gene, causing melanoma in mice.
research The silver locus product (Silv/gp100/Pmel17) as a new tool for the analysis of melanosome transfer in human melanocyte–keratinocyte co‐culture
The new assay can track and measure melanosome transfer between skin cells, confirming filopodia's role in this process.
research Use of Condensed Nanofat Combined With Fat Grafts to Treat Atrophic Scars
Condensed nanofat with fat grafts effectively improves atrophic facial scars.
research Graying of Hair Produced by Ingestion of Phenylthiocarbamide
