Mouse skin can produce and process serotonin, with variations depending on hair cycle, body location, and mouse strain.
research Transfollicular Drug Delivery: Penetration of Drugs Through Human Scalp Skin and Comparison of Penetration Between Scalp and Abdominal Skins In Vitro
Drugs penetrate scalp skin better than abdominal skin, with scalp hair follicles aiding in higher drug delivery.
research Human hair follicles are an extrarenal source and a nonhematopoietic target of erythropoietin
Human hair follicles produce and respond to erythropoietin, helping protect against stress.
research Female pattern hair loss: A clinical, pathophysiologic, and therapeutic review
No cure for female pattern hair loss, but various effective treatments exist.
research Prolactin—a novel neuroendocrine regulator of human keratin expressionin situ
Prolactin affects the production of different keratins in human hair, which could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
research Profiling the Response of Human Hair Follicles to Ultraviolet Radiation
UVB radiation harms hair growth and health, causing cell death and other changes in human hair follicles.
research Prolactin delays hair regrowth in mice
Prolactin slows down hair growth in mice.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth

research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Down-regulation of Melanocortin Receptor Signaling Mediated by the Amino Terminus of Agouti Protein in XenopusMelanophores
Agouti protein affects melanocortin receptors through competitive antagonism and receptor down-regulation.
research Calcineurin/Nfatc1 signaling links skin stem cell quiescence to hormonal signaling during pregnancy and lactation
Hormones during pregnancy and lactation keep skin stem cells inactive, preventing hair growth.
research Pharmacotherapy of polycystic ovary syndrome - an update
New treatments for PCOS show promise, but no current medication treats all aspects of the condition.

Different hormones affect hair growth and conditions, with some causing hair loss and others promoting it.
research Hoxc13/β-catenin Correlation with Hair Follicle Activity in Cashmere Goat
Hoxc13 is linked to seasonal hair growth in Cashmere goats and is affected by melatonin.
research Transcriptomic regulation of seasonal coat color change in hares
Genes related to pigmentation, body rhythms, and behavior change during hares' seasonal coat color transition, with a common genetic mechanism in two hare species.
research The inconsistent regulation of HOXC13 on different keratins and the regulation mechanism on HOXC13 in cashmere goat (Capra hircus)
The HOXC13 gene affects different hair proteins in cashmere goats in varied ways and is controlled by a feedback loop and other factors.
