research Hormones and the pilosebaceous unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research Hair follicle stem cell differentiation is inhibited through cross‐talk between Wnt/β‐catenin and androgen signalling in dermal papilla cells from patients with androgenetic alopecia
Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.
research Androgenetic alopecia: An update
Minoxidil and finasteride effectively treat hair loss.
research Role of genetics and sex steroid hormones in male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss: An update of what we now know
Genetics and hormones play a role in male and female hair loss, but more research is needed to fully understand it.
research Targeting Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway for Developing Therapies for Hair Loss
Activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Treatments for Androgenetic Alopecia and Alopecia Areata
Minoxidil and finasteride treat hair loss; more research needed for other options.
research A new path in defining light parameters for hair growth: Discovery and modulation of photoreceptors in human hair follicle

research Drug discovery for alopecia: gone today, hair tomorrow
Topical drugs and near-infrared light therapy show potential for treating alopecia.
research Scalp dermoscopy of androgenetic alopecia in Asian people
research Hair organ regeneration via the bioengineered hair follicular unit transplantation
Scientists successfully created and transplanted bioengineered hair follicles that function like natural ones, suggesting a new treatment for hair loss.
research Trans‐species hair growth induction by human hair follicle dermal papillae
Human hair follicle cells can grow hair when put into mouse skin if they stay in contact with mouse cells.
research Systematic Review of Platelet-Rich Plasma Use in Androgenetic Alopecia Compared with Minoxidil®, Finasteride®, and Adult Stem Cell-Based Therapy
PRP injections may be a safe, effective alternative for hair loss treatment compared to minoxidil and finasteride.
research Effect of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) Nanofiber Matrices Cocultured With Hair Follicular Epithelial and Dermal Cells for Biological Wound Dressing
PHBV nanofiber matrices help wounds heal faster when used with hair follicle cells.
research Folliculitis
Folliculitis is an inflammation of hair follicles that requires proper diagnosis and treatment based on the specific cause.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Oxidative Damage Control in a Human (Mini-) Organ: Nrf2 Activation Protects against Oxidative Stress-Induced Hair Growth Inhibition
Activating Nrf2 protects human hair follicles from oxidative stress and helps prevent hair growth inhibition.
research Effect of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone on Apoptosis in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.
research HAIR AND SYSTEMATIC DISEASE
Hair loss can indicate underlying systemic diseases and addressing these can sometimes reverse the hair loss.
research Contemporary Hair Transplantation
Modern hair transplants use small grafts for a natural look and drugs to prevent further loss, with high patient satisfaction.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: An update
The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
research Prolactin: an emerging force along the cutaneous–endocrine axis
Prolactin may play a significant role in skin and hair health and could be a target for treating skin and hair disorders.
research EEMCO Guidance for the Assessment of Hair Shedding and Alopecia
The document explains hair growth and shedding, factors affecting it, and methods to evaluate hair loss, emphasizing the importance of skin biopsy for diagnosis.
research Complications of Rhytidectomy
Face-lifts can lead to complications like bleeding, nerve injury, skin death, hair loss, and rare infections, with careful surgery reducing risks.
research Biochemical Roles of Testosterone and Epitestosterone to 5α-Reductase as Indicators of Male-Pattern Baldness
High testosterone to epitestosterone ratio in hair could predict male-pattern baldness.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism*
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Sustained release of dermal papilla-derived extracellular vesicles from injectable microgel promotes hair growth
Injecting a special gel with human protein particles can help hair grow.
