research Dihydrotestosterone-Inducible IL-6 Inhibits Elongation of Human Hair Shafts by Suppressing Matrix Cell Proliferation and Promotes Regression of Hair Follicles in Mice

173 citations , September 2011 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

IL-6 contributes to hair loss by shortening the growth phase and causing hair follicles to regress.

research L-Ascorbic Acid 2-Phosphate Promotes Elongation of Hair Shafts via the Secretion of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 from Dermal Papilla Cells Through Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase

34 citations , March 2009 in “British journal of dermatology/British journal of dermatology, Supplement”

In this study, l-Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate was found to stimulate hair follicle growth in vitro by promoting IGF-1 expression via the PI3K pathway.

research Dihydrotestosterone-Inducible Dickkopf 1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Causes Apoptosis in Follicular Keratinocytes

171 citations , July 2007 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

The researchers reported that DHT-inducible DKK-1 may play a significant role in DHT-driven balding by inhibiting hair follicle cell growth and promoting apoptosis in androgenetic alopecia.

research Establishment of SV40T-Transformed Human Dermal Papilla Cells and Identification of Dihydrotestosterone-Regulated Genes by cDNA Microarray

13 citations , June 2007 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

This study identified several genes regulated by dihydrotestosterone in an SV40T-transformed human dermal papilla cell line, which may play a role in androgen-mediated hair growth regulation.

Androgen-Inducible TGF-β1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Inhibits Epithelial Cell Growth: A Clue to Understanding Paradoxical Effects of Androgen on Human Hair Growth

research Androgen-Inducible TGF-β1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Inhibits Epithelial Cell Growth: A Clue to Understanding Paradoxical Effects of Androgen on Human Hair Growth

190 citations , October 2002 in “The FASEB journal”

In this study, androgen did not affect keratinocyte growth in coculture with androgenetic alopecia-derived dermal papilla cells, but did significantly suppress keratinocyte growth when androgen receptor was overexpressed in the papilla cells.

research Promoted Growth of Murine Hair Follicles Through Controlled Release of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

56 citations , June 2002 in “Biomaterials”

This study found that controlled release of VEGF via a collagen hydrogel promoted hair follicle growth and cell proliferation in mice more effectively than free VEGF injections.

research Human Hair Growth In Vitro: A Model for the Study of Hair Follicle Biology

133 citations , July 1994 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

In this study, the researchers developed an in vitro model that maintains human hair follicles to grow at in vivo rates and observed that factors like EGF and IGF-I influence hair follicle growth and catagen entry.
