research Keratin 17 modulates hair follicle cycling in a TNFα-dependent fashion
Keratin 17 is crucial for normal hair growth by regulating hair cycle transitions with TNFα.
research PDGF isoforms induce and maintain anagen phase of murine hair follicles
PDGF isoforms can promote and sustain hair growth.
research Stem cell dynamics in the hair follicle niche
Stem cells in the hair follicle are regulated by their surrounding environment, which is important for hair growth.
research Oxidative stress in ageing of hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research A role of melatonin in neuroectodermal‐mesodermal interactions: the hair follicle synthesizes melatonin and expresses functional melatonin receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Resting no more: re‐defining telogen, the maintenance stage of the hair growth cycle
The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.
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 Neurogenic Inflammation in Stress-Induced Termination of Murine Hair Growth Is Promoted by Nerve Growth Factor
Stress increases a factor in mice that leads to hair loss, and blocking this factor may prevent it.
research Exogen, Shedding Phase of the Hair Growth Cycle: Characterization of a Mouse Model
Researchers found that hair shedding happens mostly when new hair is growing and involves a unique process.
research Human epithelial hair follicle stem cells and their progeny: Current state of knowledge, the widening gap in translational research and future challenges
We need more research to better understand human hair follicle stem cells for improved treatments for hair loss and skin cancer.
research MicroRNA-214 controls skin and hair follicle development by modulating the activity of the Wnt pathway
MicroRNA-214 is important for skin and hair growth because it affects the Wnt pathway.
research Aging of hair
Hair ages due to genetics and environmental factors, leading to graying and thinning, with treatments available for some conditions.
research Neuroendocrinology of the hair follicle: principles and clinical perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
research Enhanced ectodysplasin-A receptor (EDAR) signaling alters multiple fiber characteristics to produce the East Asian hair form
A genetic change in the EDAR gene causes the unique hair traits found in East Asians.
research Genetic Ablation of the CDP/Cux Protein C Terminus Results in Hair Cycle Defects and Reduced Male Fertility
Mutant CDP/Cux protein causes hair defects and reduced male fertility in mice.
research Control of hair follicle cell fate by underlying mesenchyme through a CSL–Wnt5a–FoxN1 regulatory axis
Notch/CSL signaling controls hair follicle differentiation through Wnt5a and FoxN1.
research Self-organization process in newborn skin organoid formation inspires strategy to restore hair regeneration of adult cells
Newborn mouse skin cells can grow hair and this process can be recreated in adult cells to potentially help with hair loss.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
research The Keratins of the Human Beard Hair Medulla: The Riddle in the Middle
Human beard hair medulla contains a unique and complex mix of keratins not found in other human tissues.
research Targeting Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway for Developing Therapies for Hair Loss
Activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Olfactory receptor OR2AT4 regulates human hair growth
A certain smell receptor in hair follicles can affect hair growth when activated by a synthetic sandalwood scent.
research KGF and EGF signalling block hair follicle induction and promote interfollicular epidermal fate in developing mouse skin
EGF and KGF signalling prevent hair follicle formation and promote skin cell development in mice.
research A new path in defining light parameters for hair growth: Discovery and modulation of photoreceptors in human hair follicle
Blue light promotes hair growth by interacting with specific receptors in hair follicles.

The study identified and characterized new keratin genes linked to hair follicles and epithelial tissues.
research Age-induced hair greying - the multiple effects of oxidative stress
Hair greying is caused by oxidative stress damaging hair follicles and melanocytes.
research The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions during Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
research The control of hair growth: An overview
Hair growth is influenced by interactions between skin layers, growth factors, and hormones, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
research A Review: The Location, Molecular Characterisation and Multipotency of Hair Follicle Epidermal Stem Cells
