research Thyroid Hormones Directly Alter Human Hair Follicle Functions: Anagen Prolongation and Stimulation of Both Hair Matrix Keratinocyte Proliferation and Hair Pigmentation
Thyroid hormones help hair grow, reduce hair loss, and increase hair pigment.
research Folliculin, the Product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube Tumor Suppressor Gene, Interacts with the Adherens Junction Protein p0071 to Regulate Cell-Cell Adhesion
The protein folliculin, involved in a rare disease, works with another protein to control how cells stick together and their organization, and changes in this interaction can lead to disease symptoms.

Rare changes in the KRT82 gene are linked to a higher risk of Alopecia Areata.
research Mechanisms of Submucosal Gland Morphogenesis in the Airway
LEF1 is essential for the development of airway glands and is regulated by the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway.
research Effects of all-trans retinoic acid on goat dermal papilla cells cultured in vitro
All-trans retinoic acid at high doses harms goat hair growth cells and could be bad for hair growth.
research Environment of the Anagen Follicle
The document concludes that hair follicles have a complex environment and our understanding of it is growing, but there are limitations when applying animal study findings to humans.

Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair growth and skin repair.
research Characterisation of Ovine KRTAP19-3 and Its Impact on Wool Traits in Chinese Tan Sheep
Specific gene variants affect wool traits in Chinese Tan sheep.
research A Comprehensive Review of GWASs of Human Hair Traits
Genetic studies on hair traits can improve understanding of health and disease.
research Thymic stromal lymphopoietin controls hair growth
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) promotes hair growth, especially after skin injury.
research The Force Is Strong with This One: Metabolism (Over)powers Stem Cell Fate
Metabolism plays a key role in determining stem cell fate.
research Transcriptional profiling of putative human epithelial stem cells
Alpha 6 + /MHCI - cells have stem cell traits and are similar to mouse hair follicle stem cells.
research Fibroblasts: Origins, definitions, and functions in health and disease
Fibroblasts are crucial for tissue repair and inflammation, and understanding them can help treat fibrotic diseases.
research Tracking adult stem cells
A combined approach is needed to fully understand adult stem cells, with genetic lineage-tracing being crucial.
research Wounding induces dedifferentiation of epidermal Gata6+ cells and acquisition of stem cell properties
Wounded skin cells can revert to stem cells and help heal.
research Normal stem cells and cancer stem cells: similar and different
Deregulation of stem cell function is central to the development of some cancers.
research Anatomy and Physiology of Hair
Hair is important for protection, social interaction, and temperature control, and is made of a growth cycle-influenced follicle and a complex shaft.
research An ERK-dependent molecular switch antagonizes fibrosis and promotes regeneration in spiny mice ( Acomys )
High levels of ERK activity are key for tissue regeneration in spiny mice, and activating ERK can potentially redirect scar-forming healing towards regenerative healing in mammals.
research Exosome-based Therapies for Androgenetic Alopecia: Mechanisms, MicroRNAs, and Clinical Prospects
Exosome therapy could be a promising new way to treat hair loss.
research Impact of Stem Cells on Reparative Regeneration in Abdominal and Dorsal Skin in the Rat
Abdominal skin heals faster than dorsal skin because it has more stem cells.
research Non-invasive assessment of hair regeneration in androgenetic alopecia mice in vivo using two-photon and second harmonic generation imaging
New imaging techniques show testosterone delays hair growth and shrinks follicles in mice, but have limited depth for viewing.
research Metabolic Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells in the Hypoxic Niche
Low oxygen areas help maintain and protect blood stem cells by using a simple sugar breakdown process for energy and managing their activity levels.
research Disturbed Epidermal Structure in Mice with Temporally Controlled Fatp4 Deficiency
