research Androgen‐inducible TGF‐β1 from balding dermal papilla cells inhibits epithelial cell growth: a clue to understanding paradoxical effects of androgen on human hair growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.
research Induction of transforming growth factor-beta 1 by androgen is mediated by reactive oxygen species in hair follicle dermal papilla cells
Androgens increase a growth factor in hair cells by creating reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants might help treat hair loss.
research Prolactin delays hair regrowth in mice
Prolactin slows down hair growth in mice.
research Effect of constant-release melatonin implants and prolonged exposure to a long day photoperiod on prolactin secretion and hair growth in mouflon (Ovis gmelini musimon)
Melatonin implants and long daylight hours alter the timing of hormone release and hair growth in mouflon sheep.

The SLICK1 allele in Holstein heifers affects hair and immune traits without altering prolactin signaling.
research Organizational Effects of Estrogens and Androgens on Estrogen and Androgen Receptor Expression in Pituitary and Adrenal Glands in Adult Male and Female Rats
Early hormones shape sex-specific differences in rat glands.
research Recent approaches of antibody therapeutics in androgenetic alopecia
Antibody treatments show promise for hair loss but need more research.
research Hair and Scalp Variation Related to Gender
