270-300 / 1000+ results research Fundamental hair follicle biology and fine fibre production in animals
Hair follicle growth and fiber production in animals are influenced by chemical signals, proteins, pigmentation, genetics, and nutrients.
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 Multi‐tasking epidermal stem cells: Beyond epidermal maintenance
Epidermal stem cells have various roles in skin beyond just maintenance, including forming specialized structures and aiding in skin repair and regeneration.
research Vascular mechanisms in laser hair removal
Laser hair removal might also work by damaging blood vessels around hair follicles.
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.
research Hair Transplantation in the Cicatricial Alopecias
Hair transplants can be a treatment for scarring hair loss if there's good blood flow and no active disease.
research Bulge-Derived Epithelial Cells Isolated from Human Hair Follicles Using Enzymatic Digestion or Explants Result in Comparable Tissue-Engineered Skin
Enzymatic digestion is an efficient method for isolating cells from hair follicles for tissue-engineered skin.
research In vivo imaging of mammary epithelial cell dynamics in response to lineage-biased Wnt/β-catenin activation
Activating β-catenin in mammary cells leads to changes that cause early-stage abnormal growths similar to skin structures.
research Advances in Hair Diseases
The review highlights the importance of stem cells in hair health and suggests new treatment strategies for hair loss conditions.
research Effects of Guasha on histomorphology of scraped skins and on expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide and substance P in rats
Guasha changed rat skin appearance and blood vessels temporarily without affecting certain nerve proteins or fiber structure.
research Unlocking the vital role of host cells in hair follicle reconstruction by semi-permeable capsules
Host cells are crucial for the maturation of reconstructed hair follicles.

New technologies show promise for better hair regeneration and treatments.
research Effect of age and sex on fiber and follicle characteristics of an Iranian native sheep
As sheep age, their hair fibers and follicles grow larger and more organized, with no significant differences between males and females.
research Modeling of solar UV-induced photodamage on the hair follicles in human skin organoids
Sunlight exposure damages hair follicles, but certain stem cell-derived particles can reduce this damage and help with hair regeneration.
research Multiple potential roles of thymosin β4 in the growth and development of hair follicles
Thymosin β4 may boost hair growth by aiding stem cell movement and blood vessel formation.
