Light can turn on hair growth cells through a nerve path starting in the eyes.
research Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin often causes discomfort, affects many people, especially women and older adults, and should be managed with careful product selection.
research Responses of hair follicle–associated structures to loss of planar cell polarity signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research Development of gene therapy for inner ear disease: Using bilateral vestibular hypofunction as a vehicle for translational research
