The workshop highlighted the genetic links and psychological impacts of hair loss and skin disorders.
research Analysis of Female Pattern Hair loss
Early treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss is important to stop it from getting worse, and various treatments can help, especially in mild to moderate cases.
research The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research Local circadian clock gates cell cycle progression of transient amplifying cells during regenerative hair cycling
Hair grows faster in the morning and is more vulnerable to damage from radiation due to the internal clock in hair follicle cells.
research Pregnancy and the hair growth cycle: anagen induction against hair growth disruption using Nourkrin® with Marilex®, a proteoglycan replacement therapy
Nourkrin® with Marilex® may increase hair count by 35.7% in postpartum hair loss.

Hair follicles can be used to quickly assess drug effects in cancer treatment.
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 Alterations in Hair Follicle Dynamics in Women
Hormonal changes after childbirth and menopause can lead to women's hair loss and facial hair growth, with a need for better treatments.
research Extended theory of selective photothermolysis: A new recipe for hair cooking?
