research Hair Follicle Generation by Injections of Adult Human Follicular Epithelial and Dermal Papilla Cells into Nude Mice.
Injecting a mix of human skin and hair cells into mice can grow new hair.
research Diagnostic challenge: Loose anagen hair syndrome
The study concludes that Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome is a benign condition that usually improves with age but can be hard to diagnose and stressful for the family.
research Pili Annulati with Multiple Fragile Hairs
Frequent hairdryer use may worsen hair fragility in people with Pili Annulati.
research A case of cicatricial female pattern hair loss
A 36-year-old woman with worsening hair loss over 10 years was treated with various medications, and after six months, her hair loss did not worsen significantly.
research Dihydrotestosterone inhibits hair growth in mice by inhibiting insulin-like growth factor-I production in dermal papillae
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stops hair growth in mice by lowering a growth factor important for hair.
research Age-Related Hair Pigment Loss
Graying hair happens due to aging and might be delayed by new treatments.
research “Hair building” fibers through the dermoscope
Trichoscopy can help tell the difference between artificial hair fibers and other scalp artifacts.
research Trichoscopy in Asian Patients
Asian patients show different trichoscopy features compared to Caucasians, like thicker hair and different alopecia signs.
research Management of female-pattern hair loss
Minoxidil and spironolactone slow hair loss in women.
research Early leonine facies with alopecia in a young man
A young man was diagnosed with trichoepitheliomas, causing thick skin and hair loss.
research Scalp Micropigmentation
Scalp micropigmentation is a process where tiny dots of pigment are tattooed onto the scalp to create the appearance of a shaved head or fuller hair.
research Exogen Hairs in Women with and without Hair Loss
Women with and without hair loss have similar amounts of exogen hairs, so these hairs are not a key factor in hair loss conditions.
research Fine structure of marsupial hairs, with emphasis on trichohyalin and the structure of the inner root sheath
Marsupial hair structure and keratin distribution are similar to placental mammals.
research Integral characterization of normal and alopecic hair at different degeneration stages by in-situ visible and chemical imaging
Alopecic hair has more irregular structures and chemical changes than normal hair, reducing its strength.
research Androgenetic alopecia.
Androgenetic alopecia is a common hair loss condition caused by testosterone effects on hair follicles, leading to thinner, shorter, and less pigmented hair, diagnosed using scalp dermoscopy and treated with topical minoxidil, antiandrogen agents, and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.
research A new strategy to modulate alopecia using a combination of two specific and unique ingredients.
A new hair loss treatment with two unique ingredients improved hair growth.
research Cutaneous transcriptome analysis in NIH hairless mice
Key genes linked to hair growth and cancer were identified in hairless mice.
research 5α-Reductase activity in the human hair follicle concentrates in the dermal papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research Hormone-induced aberrations in electromagnetic adhesion signaling as a developmental factor of androgenetic alopecia
Hormones cause hair loss by affecting cell growth and weakening cell attraction.
research Regeneration of a New Hair Follicle from the Upper Half of a Human Hair Follicle in a Nude Mouse
The upper half of a human hair follicle can grow a new hair in a mouse, but success is rare.
research Cellular Activity in the Dermis Surrounding the Hair Bulb in Alopecia Areata
Hair growth in alopecia areata is hindered due to impaired cell activity in the surrounding tissue.
research Partial alopecia area retains bulge hair follicle progenitor cells in Indian androgenetic alopecia patients
Some hair growth cells remain in partially bald areas of Indian men with hair loss.
research Effect of the multifunctional cosmetic ingredient sphinganine on hair loss in men and women with diffuse hair reduction

Mutations in claudin-1 and claudin-3 cause hair loss in baby mice.
research The disruption of Sox21-mediated hair shaft cuticle differentiation causes cyclic alopecia in mice
Disrupting the Sox21 gene in mice causes hair loss and regrowth cycles.
research The Metabolism and Control Mechanism of Human Hair Follicles
Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.
research Telomere Dynamics and Telomerase in the Biology of Hair Follicles and their Stem Cells as a Model for Aging Research
Hair follicle studies suggest that maintaining telomere length could help treat hair loss and graying, but it's uncertain if mouse results apply to humans.
