November 2014 in “Histochemistry and Cell Biology” The we/we wal/wal mice have defects in hair growth and skin layer formation, causing hair loss, useful for understanding alopecia.
7 citations,
July 2005 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” The gene URB is more active in human hair growth cells and responds to a hair-related hormone.
5 citations,
October 2016 in “Experimental Dermatology” Activin A is important for creating new hair follicles.
2 citations,
February 2015 in “Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine” Transplanting a mix of specific skin cells can significantly improve the repair of damaged hair follicles.
1 citations,
August 2023 in “Nature communications” Hdac1 and Hdac2 help maintain and protect the cells that control hair growth.
1 citations,
January 2023 in “In vivo/In Vivo” Box A of HMGB1 can improve stem cell function, aiding anti-aging therapy.
October 2023 in “Scientific reports” Dexamethasone affects hair growth by altering levels of proteins that either promote or inhibit hair follicle growth.
June 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” ILC1-like cells can cause alopecia areata by attacking hair follicles.
May 2020 in “Research Square (Research Square)” Researchers found four key stages of cell development that are important for hair growth and shedding in cashmere goats.
November 2013 in “Elsevier eBooks” Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
December 2016 in “Paleontological Journal” Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing. The best cell interaction happens in a liquid medium under gravity, and using collagen doesn't help. Future research could focus on using growth factors to stimulate these cells.
17 citations,
February 2016 in “Experimental Dermatology” SFRP2 boosts Wnt3a/β-catenin signals in hair growth cells, with stronger effects in beard cells than scalp cells.
42 citations,
July 2012 in “PLOS ONE” Estrogen can temporarily slow down hair growth but this can be reversed.
10 citations,
July 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Human nails and hair follicles have similar gene activity, especially in the cells that contribute to their growth and development.
6 citations,
July 2022 in “World journal of stem cells” Using extracellular vesicles from stem cells can help hair grow by affecting scalp cells and hair follicles.
May 2023 in “Stem cell research & therapy” New method efficiently isolates hair growth cells from newborn mouse skin.
December 2022 in “Scientific Reports” Compound 4 is a promising treatment for hair loss with low toxicity.
