In this study, researchers found that the human hair follicle microbiota vary by anatomical compartment and donor age, with specific microbes like S. epidermidis potentially influencing hair follicle functions, which suggests new avenues for therapeutic targeting.

This article discusses a novel hypothesis on the role of hair follicles in dandruff pathogenesis, focusing on immune response and inflammation due to scalp microbiota changes and sebum by-products, but reports no new clinical results.

The researchers reported that hair follicle development and commensal microbe colonization promote the accumulation of regulatory T cells in neonatal skin, with the Ccl20-Ccr6 pathway playing a key role in this process.

In this article, researchers link menopause to hair follicle lifecycle changes, noting that estrogen decline, metabolic shifts, genetics, and stress can contribute to hair thinning and texture variation, although effects differ among women.

This paper reviews how studying the microbiome of the freshwater polyp Hydra can inform new, microbiome-targeting therapies for human hair follicle and skin diseases; it presents no new experimental findings.
