research Determination of the pH Gradient in Hair Follicles of Human Volunteers Using pH-Sensitive Melamine Formaldehyde-Pyranine Nile Blue Microparticles
Hair follicles have a pH gradient, increasing towards the root.
research Poor Capability of 3D-Cultured Adipose-Derived Stem Cells to Induce Hair Follicles in Contrast to 3D-Cultured Dermal Papilla Cells
3D-cultured dermal papilla cells are better at inducing hair follicles than adipose-derived stem cells.
research [The effect of 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on cultured human hair follicle cells from a patients with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II with alopecia].
DDR-II hair follicle cells don't respond to 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, aiding diagnosis.
research Exosomes serve as a crucial mediator of epithelial–fibroblast communication during hair follicle morphogenesis in cashmere goats
Exosomes help hair follicle development in cashmere goats.
research Hormonal Effects on Hair Follicles
Hormones like testosterone and estrogen significantly affect hair growth and structure.
research Hair Follicle Biology, the Sebaceous Gland, and Scarring Alopecias

research Autophagy is essential for maintaining the growth of a human (mini-)organ: Evidence from scalp hair follicle organ culture
Autophagy is important for human hair growth and health.
research Parathyroid hormone-related peptide and the hair cycle - is it the agonists or the antagonists that cause hair growth?
PTHRP agonists can stimulate hair growth, especially in damaged follicles, while antagonists may initially increase growth but ultimately inhibit it.
research Iontophoresis on minoxidil sulphate-loaded chitosan nanoparticles accelerates drug release, decreasing their targeting effect to hair follicles
Using iontophoresis on minoxidil sulphate-loaded chitosan nanoparticles increases drug release but reduces its targeting to hair follicles.
research Camellia japonica seed extract promotes hair growth by preventing dermal papilla cell senescence and activating hair follicle stem cells
Camellia japonica seed extract helps hair grow by activating hair follicles and preventing cell aging.
research Effects of platelet-rich plasma application on hair follicle count, telogen/anagen ratio, and miniaturized hair ratio in patients with androgenic alopecia: alone or in combination with other treatments
PRP improves hair growth in androgenic alopecia, especially when combined with minoxidil.
research Pathophysiological mechanisms of hair follicle regeneration and potential therapeutic strategies
Understanding hair growth pathways can lead to better hair loss treatments.
research Variations of Hair Follicle Size and Distribution in Different Body Sites
Hair follicle size and distribution vary significantly across different body sites.
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research Analysis of Apoptotic Cell Death in Human Hair Follicles In Vivo andIn Vitro
Apoptosis in hair follicles varies by growth phase, with TGF-β possibly starting the catagen phase.
research Human hair growth in vitro: a model for the study of hair follicle biology
Human hair growth can be influenced by certain growth factors and has specific metabolic needs.
research Hair Growth Cycle Affects Hair Follicle Destruction by Ruby Laser Pulses
Ruby laser pulses best destroy hair follicles during the growth phase and effectiveness varies with laser intensity; melanin is key for targeting, and timing treatments can improve results.
research Transglutaminase from Hair Follicle of Guinea Pig
A unique enzyme in guinea pig hair follicles helps form protein cross-links in hair.

Vitamin D may help treat hair disorders.
research Determination of the cuticula thickness of human and porcine hairs and their potential influence on the penetration of nanoparticles into the hair follicles
Nanoparticles penetrate hair follicles better when their size matches the cuticula thickness.
research Glandular metaplasia of hair follicles and other responses to vitamin A excess in cultures of rodent skin
Excess vitamin A can cause hair follicles to change into gland-like structures.
research In vivo promoted growth of mice hair follicles by the controlled release of growth factors
Controlled release of growth factors in hydrogels improved hair growth in mice.
research Targeted Expression of Human Vitamin D Receptor in the Skin Promotes the Initiation of the Postnatal Hair Follicle Cycle and Rescues the Alopecia in Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
