The document concludes that hair follicles have a complex environment and our understanding of it is growing, but there are limitations when applying animal study findings to humans.

The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.

Animal models, especially mice, are essential for advancing hair loss research and treatment.

New treatments for hair growth disorders are needed due to limited current options and complex hair follicle biology.

Platelet-rich plasma shows potential for hair growth, but more research is needed to determine the best preparation method.

Hair follicle stem cells are important for maintaining healthy skin and interact with many signals.

The study provides insights into hair growth mechanisms in yaks.

A KRT71 mutation in Hereford cattle in Uruguay causes thin, curly hair and scaly skin.

The model helps understand how wool fiber structure affects its strength and flexibility.

Low testosterone might be a common cause of hair loss in male dogs.

Water quality affects mineral content in hair, and coconut oil can protect against damage.

Cats with Feline Symmetrical Alopecia can regrow hair with proper treatment based on the specific cause, including diet, medication, or stress management.

Microneedling combined with platelet-rich plasma therapy is more effective for hair regrowth in androgenic alopecia than microneedling alone, but it's more painful.

VEGF helps hair grow and determines follicle size by increasing blood vessel growth.

Metformin helps with menstrual cycles and insulin levels in PCOS but is less effective for hair growth, diabetes prevention, and weight loss, and may improve fertility and reduce diabetes risk.

β-catenin in the dermal papilla is crucial for normal hair growth and repair.

Some drugs can cause rare but potentially deadly skin reactions, and early treatment and avoiding the drug again are key.

The document concludes that understanding hair follicle biology can lead to better hair loss treatments.

Melatonin is important for skin health and protection, and can be made by the skin or applied to it.

The document provides a method to classify human hair growth stages using a model with human scalp on mice, aiming to standardize hair research.

More dermal papilla cells in hair follicles lead to larger, healthier hair, while fewer cells cause hair thinning and loss.

Hair color production in mice is closely linked to the hair growth phase and may also influence hair growth itself.

Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.

Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from skin cells of newborn mice, which can grow and cycle naturally when injected into adult mouse skin.

Hair follicle dermal stem cells are key for regenerating parts of the hair follicle and determining hair type.

ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes are crucial for gene regulation, cell differentiation, and organ development in mammals.

Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.

Different types of stem cells in hair follicles play unique roles in wound healing and hair growth, with some stem cells not originating from existing hair follicles but from non-hair follicle cells. WNT signaling and the Lhx2 factor are key in creating new hair follicles.

Silver can help prevent and treat infections but its effectiveness varies and should be weighed against costs and side effects.

The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.
