research Molecular Control of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions During Hair Follicle Cycling
Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions control hair growth cycles through specific molecular signals.
research Stress Inhibits Hair Growth in Mice by Inducing Premature Catagen Development and Harmful Perifollicular Inflammatory Events via Neuropeptide Substance P-Dependent Pathways
Stress stops hair growth in mice by causing early hair growth phase end and harmful inflammation through a specific nerve-related pathway.
research Indications for a Brain-Hair Follicle Axis: Inhibition of Keratinocyte Proliferation and Up-Regulation of Keratinocyte Apoptosis in Telogen Hair Follicles by Stress and Substance P
Stress can cause hair loss by negatively affecting hair follicles and this effect might be reversed with specific treatments.
research Towards a Molecular Understanding of Hair Loss and Its Treatment
Future hair loss treatments should aim to extend hair growth, reactivate resting follicles, reverse shrinkage, and possibly create new follicles, with gene therapy showing promise.
research Hair-Cycle-Associated Remodeling of the Peptidergic Innervation of Murine Skin, and Hair Growth Modulation by Neuropeptides
research The Skin POMC System (SPS): Leads and Lessons from the Hair Follicle
The Skin POMC System affects hair growth and skin responses to stress.
research The Biology of Hair Follicles
Hair follicle biology advancements may lead to better hair growth disorder treatments.
research A simple immunofluorescence technique for simultaneous visualization of mast cells and nerve fibers reveals selectivity and hair cycle - dependent changes in mast cell - nerve fiber contacts in murine skin

Nerves and chemicals in the body can affect hair growth and loss.
research Evaluation of Alopecia
The woman's hair loss is likely stress-related and should improve without treatment.
research A Murine Model for Inducing and Manipulating Hair Follicle Regression: Effects of Dexamethasone and Cyclosporin A
Dexamethasone speeds up hair loss in mice, while cyclosporin A slows it down.
research Hair Loss in Systemic Disease
Systemic diseases can cause hair loss, which is often reversible with treatment.
