    TLDR Hair growth is regulated by a combination of hormones, blood vessels, and nerve signals.
    The review discussed the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), steroid hormones, and neuropeptides in hair follicle cell responses. It highlighted that hair follicles undergo distinct phases and are influenced by various signaling pathways, although only a few are well understood. The study emphasized the importance of receptor expression in dermal papilla cells and the interaction between hormonal, vascular, and neuropeptide factors in regulating hair growth. The findings suggested that a combination of these factors could lead to new treatments for hair loss.
