Scientists successfully created mouse hair proteins in the lab, which are stable and similar to natural hair.
research Use of Verteporfin with Dermal Wounding to Regenerate New Hair in Androgenetic Alopecia
Verteporfin with dermal wounding may boost hair regrowth in thinning areas but not in bald spots.
research Changes in the proteomic profile of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells during passages
Adipose stem cells show common protein changes as they grow, especially involving S100A6.
research MHC Class I-Like MILL Molecules Are β2-Microglobulin-Associated, GPI-Anchored Glycoproteins That Do Not Require TAP for Cell Surface Expression
MILL molecules are unique immune proteins in mice that don't need TAP to appear on cell surfaces.
research Expression of anti-aging type-XVII collagen (COL17A1/BP180) in hair follicle-associated pluripotent (HAP) stem cells during differentiation
Hair stem cells produce a protein called COL17A1 that plays a key role in their development and is linked to hair thinning and baldness.

Light therapy is effective and safe for treating skin color disorders like vitiligo and dark spots.
research A comparative study of materials assembled from recombinant K31 and K81 and extracted human hair keratins
Recombinant keratin materials may better promote skin cell differentiation than natural keratin.
research Cucurbitacin promotes hair growth in mice by inhibiting the expression of fibroblast growth factor 18
Cucurbitacin helps mice grow hair by blocking a protein that stops hair growth.
research 137 Loss of myeloid Mcpip1 suppresses hair growth and development of epidermal papilloma of the skin
Removing MCPIP1 from myeloid cells in mice leads to hair loss and prevents skin tumors but causes pigmented spots.
