research Follicular Bisection in Hair Restoration: In Vivo Experiment
Splitting one hair follicle into two can help regrow hair with a 50% to 70% success rate, useful when donor hair is limited.
research Modulating hair follicle size with W nt10b/DKK 1 during hair regeneration
Wnt10b makes hair follicles bigger, but DKK1 can reverse this effect.
research Follicles Twisted During Follicular Unit Excision Could Survive in the Skin of Nude Mice
Twisted hair follicles can survive transplantation as well as intact ones.
research Microstrip technique in follicular unit extraction
The microstrip technique for hair transplantation is effective and discreet for patients needing fewer than 1500 grafts.
research Apoptosis in follicles of individuals with female pattern hair loss is associated with perifollicular microinflammation
Hair loss in women links to inflammation around hair follicles.
research Hair Follicles as Micro-Organs: MicroRNA-Mediated Control of Growth, Cycling, and Fiber Traits
MicroRNAs play a key role in controlling hair growth and quality in sheep and goats.
research Differential epithelial outgrowth of plucked and microdissected human hair follicles in explant culture
research Differential epithelial outgrowth of plucked and microdissected human hair follicles in explant culture
research A Human Folliculoid Microsphere Assay for Exploring Epithelial– Mesenchymal Interactions in the Human Hair Follicle
HFMs can help study hair growth and test potential hair growth drugs.
research Large-Scale Preparation of Hair Follicle Germs Using a Microfluidic Device
A new method using a microfluidic device can prepare hair follicle germs efficiently for potential use in hair loss treatments.
research Induction of hair follicle regeneration in mice ear by microencapsulated human hair dermal papilla cells
Microencapsulated human hair cells can regenerate hair follicles in mice ears.
research 773 Generation of human hair follicle organoids in vitro and ex vivo by co-culture of primary human hair matrix keratinocytes and dermal papilla fibroblasts
Scientists successfully grew mini hair follicles using human skin cells, which could help treat baldness.
research Expression of morphogens during human follicle development in vivo and a model for studying follicle morphogenesis in vitro
Hair follicle development involves complex interactions between skin layers and cells, but many details are still unknown.
research Microrefined Microfollicular Hair Transplant
The new hair transplant method improves results and reduces surgery time.
research Quantification of hair follicle parameters using computer image analysis: A comparison of androgenetic alopecia with normal scalp biopsies
Hair follicles are smaller in people with androgenetic alopecia compared to those with normal scalps.
research In Vivo Follicular Unit Multiplication
Cutting hair follicles into pieces for transplantation results in poor growth and thinner hair, and the technique is more invasive than previously thought.
research 1378 A multi-omics approach to identifying factors involved in hair follicle growth and development
The research found that certain factors in hair follicle cells control hair growth and development, and these could be used to create new treatments for hair loss.
research De novo formation and ultra-structural characterization of a fiber-producing human hair follicle equivalent in vitro
Scientists recreated human hair follicles in the lab that can grow hair.
research 709 Synthetic developmental tissue engineering of human hair follicles
Scientists have found a way to grow hair follicles from human cells in a lab, which could help treat hair loss and skin damage.
research Follicular dermal papilla structures by organization of epithelial and mesenchymal cells in interfacial polyelectrolyte complex fibers
Scientists created 3D hair-like structures that could help study hair growth and test treatments.
research The Hair Follicle as a Dynamic Miniorgan
Hair follicles are complex, dynamic mini-organs that help us understand cell growth, death, migration, and differentiation, as well as tissue regeneration and tumor biology.
research Association of fibrosis in the bulge portion with hair follicle miniaturization in androgenetic alopecia
Fibrosis in the bulge area of hair follicles can cause hair thinning in male pattern baldness, and drugs that inhibit fibrosis might help reverse this.
research Hair Follicles: Strategic Targets for Promoting Hair Growth
Targeting hair follicles can effectively promote hair growth and treat hair disorders.
research Keratin Microspheres as Promising Tool for Targeting Follicular Growth
Keratin microspheres might help hair grow.
research A Comparison of Reticle Size to Determine Follicular Unit Density in Hair Restoration
Smaller reticle sizes are as accurate as the standard size for measuring hair density in hair restoration.
research An In Vitro Model for the Morphogenesis of Hair Follicle Dermal Papillae
Scientists created a model using sheep cells to study hair root formation, which can test how different substances affect hair growth.
research Micrografting in Extensive Quantities Please Note: In 1995 we began using Follicular Unit Transplantation for all hair restoration procedures performed at NHI. Minigrafting/micrografting techniques were discontinued at this time. This article should be read in that context.
Since 1995, we only use Follicular Unit Transplantation for hair restoration and stopped using minigrafting/micrografting techniques.
research Editors’ Picks
Hair shaft miniaturization leads to hair follicle stem cell loss, suggesting Piezo1 as a potential treatment target.
research In vitro Culture and Histological Characterization of Extracted Human Hair Follicles
