    October 2009 in “ ˜The œFASEB journal ”
    Erzsébet Gáspár, Celine Hardenbicker, Enikő Bodó … Ralf Paus
    Studysummary This study found that thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) acts as a potent stimulator of hair growth in human scalp hair follicles, promoting elongation and prolonging the anagen phase.
