Stem cell offspring help control their parent stem cells, affecting tissue health, healing, and cancer.
research Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern hair loss is genetic and influenced by hormones, with treatments like minoxidil and surgery available.
research Quantifying long-term stress in brown bears with the hair cortisol concentration: a biomarker that may be confounded by rapid changes in response to capture and handling
Hair cortisol levels in brown bears can be affected by both long-term and short-term stress.
research Two distinct signaling pathways in hair cycle induction: Stat3-dependent and -independent pathways
There are two ways to start hair growth: one needs Stat3 and the other does not, but both need PI3K activation.

research Tritiated Thymidine: Effect of Decomposition by Self-Radiolysis on Specificity as a Tracer for DNA Synthesis
Decomposed tritiated thymidine is less accurate for DNA tracing, and hair changes can indicate malnutrition.
research Overexpression of Sonic Hedgehog suppresses embryonic hair follicle morphogenesis
Too much Sonic Hedgehog protein stops hair growth in embryos.
research The cultural and philosophical concepts of cosmetics in beauty and art through the medical history of mankind

Using sharp tools and the right techniques in hair transplant surgery leads to less damage to hair follicles.
research Estrogen Leads to Reversible Hair Cycle Retardation through Inducing Premature Catagen and Maintaining Telogen
Estrogen can temporarily slow down hair growth but this can be reversed.
research Manipulation of outer root sheath cell survival perturbs the hair-growth cycle
Overexpression of certain genes can shorten hair by disrupting the hair-growth cycle.
research Madarosis: A marker of many Maladies
Losing eyelashes or eyebrows can be a sign of many different health problems and needs a careful approach to treat effectively.
research Glutamate transporter Slc1a3 mediates inter‐niche stem cell activation during skin growth

Boosting β-catenin signaling in certain skin cells can enhance hair growth.
research Cow placenta extract promotes murine hair growth through enhancing the insulin - like growth factor-1
Cow placenta extract may help hair grow by increasing a growth factor but is less effective than minoxidil.
research Management of Androgenetic Alopecia
Treatments for common hair loss include minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplantation.
research Do follicles matter? Testing the effect of follicles on hair cortisol levels
Hair follicles increase hair cortisol levels, so consistent hair collection methods are important.
