research The genetics of hair shaft disorders
The article explains the genetic causes and symptoms of various hair disorders and highlights the need for more research to find treatments.
research Review of Scalp Alopecia due to a Clinically Unapparent or Minimally Apparent Neoplasm (SACUMAN)
SACUMAN, a rare condition causing hair loss without clear signs, is often misdiagnosed and needs scalp biopsies for accurate detection.
research A bald statement - Current approaches to manipulate miniaturisation focus only on promoting hair growth
The conclusion is that future hair loss treatments should target the root causes of hair thinning, not just promote hair growth.
research Follicular streamers (stelae) in scarring and non-scarring alopecia
Hair root sheaths are more common in non-scarring hair loss and help diagnose the type of hair loss.
research Hair Loss in Autoimmune Cutaneous Bullous Disorders
Hair loss in autoimmune blistering skin diseases varies and may regrow with disease control.
research Scalp involvement in pemphigus: a prognostic marker
Scalp involvement in pemphigus means the disease is more severe and harder to treat.
research Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds—Revisiting the cause of a well-known disease
Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds is caused by structural defects in hair shafts due to downregulated genes and proteins.
research Giant solitary trichoepithelioma: A rare trichogenic tumor
Giant solitary trichoepithelioma is a rare, usually non-cancerous hair follicle tumor that can sometimes turn into skin cancer.
research Effects of Collagen Peptides on Gene Expression Related to Hair Cycle Activation in the Skin
Collagen peptides may promote hair growth by activating certain genes in the skin.
research The human hair: from anatomy to physiology
The document concludes that hair is complex, with a detailed growth cycle, structure, and clinical importance, affecting various scientific and medical fields.
research Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma (PEM)/Animal Type Melanoma (ATM): Quest for an Origin. Report of One Unusual Case Indicating Follicular Origin and Another Arising in an Intradermal Nevus
The conclusion is that Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma can start from hair follicle stem cells or from a mole on the skin.
research Protection Against Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
No treatment fully prevents hair loss from chemotherapy yet.
research Human hair follicle: reservoir function and selective targeting
The human hair follicle can store topical compounds and be targeted for drug delivery with minimal side effects.
research Hair follicles, their disorders and their opportunities
Hair follicles offer promising targets for delivering drugs to treat hair and skin conditions.
research The value of trichoscopy in the differential diagnosis of scalp lesions in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus
Trichoscopy helps tell apart scalp lesions in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus and is useful for choosing biopsy locations.
research 1371 FGF7-dependent inhibition of human hair growth byan osteopontin-derived peptide: A novel solution for hirsutism and hypertrichosis?
A new peptide, FOL-005, may help treat excessive hair growth by reducing a hair growth promoter, FGF7.
research 1370 17β-estradiol may control human HF growth also via up-regulating the expression of cannabinoid receptor type1 expression
17β-estradiol may help hair growth by increasing cannabinoid receptor type 1.
research 1373 Specific in vivo ablation of Lrig1-positive follicular stem cells results in sebaceous gland loss in mice
Removing Lrig1-positive stem cells in mice causes temporary loss of sebaceous glands.
research 1372 Biological effects of electrical epilation on human hair follicles and perifollicular skin ex vivo
Electrical epilation damages hair follicles and surrounding skin, likely preventing hair regrowth.

Keratin 79 marks a new group of cells that are key for creating and repairing the hair follicle's structure.
research Eruptive Vellus Hair Cysts
Eruptive vellus hair cysts are a cosmetic skin condition, more common in young adults, with few effective treatments.
research Tight Junction barriers in human hair follicles – role of claudin-1
Claudin-1 is important for the barrier function and growth of hair.
research Role of the Wnt signaling pathway in keratoacanthoma
The Wnt signaling pathway is not a major factor in the development of keratoacanthoma, a type of skin tumor.
research Protease activity, localization and inhibition in the human hair follicle
The study suggests that a new protease inhibitor can make hair harder to pull out, potentially reducing hair loss.
research Exogen hair characterization in human scalp
The conclusion is that exogen is a unique hair cycle phase and the new sampling method specifically targets this stage, which may help in future hair loss research.
