research Congenital hair loss disorders: Rare, but not too rare
Some hair loss disorders are caused by genetic mutations affecting hair growth.
research Expression of Cyclooxygenase Isozymes During Morphogenesis and Cycling of Pelage Hair Follicles in Mouse Skin: Precocious Onset of the First Catagen Phase and Alopecia upon Cyclooxygenase-2 Overexpression
Overexpression of COX-2 causes early hair loss in mice, but can be prevented with a COX-2 inhibitor.

Current and future treatments for alopecia areata focus on immunosuppression, immunomodulation, and protecting hair follicles.
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.

Sweat gland stem cells help maintain glands, aid wound healing, and can regenerate skin structures.
research Roxithromycin-loaded lipid nanoparticles for follicular targeting
Tiny particles carrying roxithromycin can effectively target and deliver the drug to hair follicles without irritation.
research Skin and hair: models for exploring organ regeneration
Skin and hair can help us understand organ regeneration, especially how certain stem cells might be used to form new organs.
research Androgenetic alopecia: new insights into the pathogenesis and mechanism of hair loss
New model shows muscle affects hair loss differently in men and women.
research Stem cells and alopecia: a review of pathogenesis
Damaged hair follicle stem cells can cause permanent hair loss, but understanding their role could lead to new treatments.
research Disrupted Ectodermal Organ Morphogenesis in Mice with a Conditional Histone Deacetylase 1, 2 Deletion in the Epidermis
Mice without certain skin proteins had abnormal skin and hair development.
research Review of Scalp Alopecia due to a Clinically Unapparent or Minimally Apparent Neoplasm (SACUMAN)
SACUMAN, a rare condition causing hair loss without clear signs, is often misdiagnosed and needs scalp biopsies for accurate detection.
research A systematic summary of survival and death signalling during the life of hair follicle stem cells
The conclusion is that understanding how hair follicle stem cells live or die is important for maintaining healthy tissue and repairing injuries, and could help treat hair loss, but there are still challenges to overcome.
research The Dynamic Duo: Niche/Stem Cell Interdependency
Stem cells and their surrounding environment in hair follicles work closely together, affecting hair growth and having implications for cancer and tissue regeneration.
research Erbium–Yttrium–Aluminum–Garnet Laser Irradiation Ameliorates Skin Permeation and Follicular Delivery of Antialopecia Drugs
Using a special laser can improve how well hair loss treatments get into the skin and hair follicles.
research Hair physiology and its disorders
Different hair growth problems are caused by genetic issues or changes in hair growth cycles, and new treatments are being developed.
research Female pattern hair loss, sebum excretion and the end-organ response to androgens
Hair loss in women not always linked to increased oil production; other factors may be involved.
research Histologic and Cell Kinetic Studies of Hair Loss and Subsequent Recovery Process of Human Scalp Hair Follicles Grafted onto Severe Combined Immunodeficient Mice
Stem cells are key for hair follicle recovery.
research Hair removal using an Nd: YAG laser system.
Nd:YAG laser can reduce hair with multiple treatments, but permanent removal isn't guaranteed.
research Expression of the Orphan Protein Plet-1 during Trichilemmal Differentiation of Anagen Hair Follicles
Plet-1 protein helps hair follicle cells move and stick to tissues.
research Skin-specific expression of a truncated E1a oncoprotein binding to p105-Rb leads to abnormal hair follicle maturation without increased epidermal proliferation.
The oncoprotein causes abnormal hair growth without increasing skin cancer risk.
research Msi2 Maintains Quiescent State of Hair Follicle Stem Cells by Directly Repressing the Hh Signaling Pathway
The Msi2 protein helps keep hair follicle stem cells inactive, controlling hair growth and regeneration.
research Alopecia areata: A review
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune hair loss condition treated with corticosteroids, and histologic confirmation is the best diagnosis method.
research Dormancy in the stem cell niche
Some stem cells in the body rarely divide, which could help create better treatments for diseases and aging.
