23 citations,
October 2006 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.
5 citations,
November 2017 in “Elsevier eBooks” Scientists can now grow hair-like structures in a lab using special 3D culture systems, which could potentially help people with hair loss or severe burns.
