January 2013 in “Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy” The conclusion is that hair growth can be improved by activating hair cycles, changing the surrounding environment, healing wounds to create new hair follicles, and using stem cell technology.
1 citations,
May 2017 in “InTech eBooks” Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
3 citations,
June 2006 in “Expert Review of Dermatology” The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
150 citations,
April 1999 in “Dermatologic Clinics” Laser hair removal effectiveness depends on targeting hair structures without harming the skin, and improvements require more research and expert collaboration.
57 citations,
March 2013 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” Improving the environment and cell interactions is key for creating human hair in the lab.
45 citations,
July 2006 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Chemotherapy affects blood vessels in hair follicles, not stem cells, allowing hair regrowth.
28 citations,
March 2016 in “Toxicologic pathology” Dogs could be good models for studying human hair growth and hair loss.
6 citations,
August 2006 in “Journal of Cutaneous Pathology” Two teenage brothers had a rare, treatment-resistant form of female-pattern hair loss with unusual scalp changes.
