Vitamin D receptor is crucial for starting hair growth after birth.
research Normal Hair Growth in Children
Children's hair grows in different types from before birth through puberty, with growth rates and characteristics varying by age, sex, and race.
research A neuroendocrinological perspective on human hair follicle pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
