research Ziehl-Neelsen's stain for skin sections to show wool and hair follicles
Ziehl-Neelsen's stain helps identify different parts of hair in sheep and goats.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
PRP and LLLT can improve hair growth in AGA, but more research needed.
research Follicular Stem Cells in Androgenetic Alopecia

Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Trilostane treatment of 78 dogs with pituitary‐dependent hyperadrenocorticism
Trilostane effectively improved symptoms in dogs with a certain adrenal gland disorder.
research Resting no more: re‐defining telogen, the maintenance stage of the hair growth cycle
The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.
research Neuroendocrinology of the hair follicle: principles and clinical perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research Prolactin and Its Receptor Are Expressed in Murine Hair Follicle Epithelium, Show Hair Cycle-Dependent Expression, and Induce Catagen
Prolactin affects hair growth cycles and can cause early hair follicle regression.
research An integrative view of mammalian seasonal neuroendocrinology
The article concludes that better understanding gene regulation related to seasonal changes can offer insights into the mechanisms of seasonal timing in mammals.
research From Telogen to Exogen: Mechanisms Underlying Formation and Subsequent Loss of the Hair Club Fiber
Hair shedding is an active process that could be targeted to treat hair loss.
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 The control of hair growth: An overview
Hair growth is influenced by interactions between skin layers, growth factors, and hormones, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
research Prolactin delays hair regrowth in mice
Prolactin slows down hair growth in mice.
research Mind the (Gender) Gap: Does Prolactin Exert Gender and/or Site-Specific Effects on the Human Hair Follicle?
Prolactin may affect hair growth differently based on gender and scalp area.
research Melatonin promotes Cashmere goat (Capra hircus) secondary hair follicle growth: a view from integrated analysis of long non-coding and coding RNAs
Melatonin helps Cashmere goats grow more hair by affecting certain genes and cell pathways.
research Androgen receptors are only present in mesenchyme-derived dermal papilla cells of red deer (Cervus elaphus) neck follicles when raised androgens induce a mane in the breeding season
Red deer only have androgen receptors in neck hair cells for mane growth during breeding season.
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 Notoedric mange in free‐ranging masked palm civets (Paguma larvata) in Japan
Some masked palm civets in Japan have a skin disease caused by mites.
research Evaluation of melatonin and bromocryptine administration in Spanish goats
Melatonin treatment may increase cashmere production in Spanish goats.
research The effect of melatonin implants administered from December until April, on plasma prolactin, triiodothyronine and thyroxine concentrations and on the timing of the spring moult in cashmere goats
Melatonin implants can change the seasonal prolactin levels and hair growth in adult cashmere goats but not in juveniles, and don't delay spring moult for better fiber harvesting.
research Expression analysis of the type I keratin protein keratin 33A in goat coat hair
Keratin 33A is a key protein in goat winter coats, especially in high-producing breeds.
research The effects of melatonin treatment on wool production and hair follicle cycle in angora rabbits
Melatonin treatment increases wool production and improves fiber quality in angora rabbits.
research Possible relationships between the physical conditions of cattle and the occurrence of structural modifications of their coat hair
Vitamin A deficiency changes cattle hair structure, while pregnancy may improve it, suggesting hair can indicate cattle health.
