November 2025 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” In this observational study, researchers found that 55% of participants with hair loss known as Khalitya had serum calcium deficiency, which aligns with both Ayurvedic and modern perspectives linking poor nutrition to hair disorder, highlighting the importance of dietary regulation and stress management.
July 2025 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Discoid lupus erythematosus involves immune activation and fibrosis around hair follicles, with shared pathways across humans, dogs, and mice, suggesting potential treatments for both humans and animals.
September 2012 in “The Egyptian Journal of Histology” In this study, flutamide at therapeutic doses caused significant histological changes in the testes and epididymis of adult albino rats, reducing androgen receptor immunoreactivity and increasing estrogen receptor immunoreactivity.
August 1998 in “Dermatologic Surgery” Dr. George A. Farber recommends using follicular unit transplantation for hair restoration because it gives a more natural look and has fewer problems compared to the older miniflap technique.
December 2024 in “Food Bioscience” In a depilation mouse model, this study found that Limosilactobacillus fermentum MF10 promoted hair growth and increased follicle size by activating skin Wnt/β-catenin signaling and modulating gut microbiota, with effects comparable to the positive control finasteride.
14 citations
,
June 2012 in “Stem Cells” This study found that depletion of TACE in mouse hair follicles led to impaired stem cell maintenance and hair loss, implicating TACE and EGFR signaling in hair follicle stem cell homeostasis.
2 citations
,
January 2009 in “Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine” This article reviews depictions of baldness in art and notes its symbolic connections to depression, with no new research findings presented.
January 2026 in “JEADV Clinical Practice” This study examines the depiction of a soldier with an atypical hairstyle resembling alopecia in an Isenmann painting, possibly reflecting medical conditions like tinea capitis or alopecia areata to emphasize the soldier's moral degradation, though artists historically mixed medical conditions for stylistic purposes.
January 2023 in “European journal of gynaecological oncology” This study found that depletion of KRT17 in endometrial cancer reduced cell growth, motility, and angiogenesis, suggesting KRT17 as a potential therapeutic target.
2 citations
,
February 2023 in “International journal of molecular sciences” This study identified that copper depletion in dermal papilla cells reduced hair growth by boosting ROS levels, but ROS scavengers like NAC and ascorbic acid partially alleviated this effect.
January 2020 in “Dépôt Institutionnel de lUniversité de Tlemcen” This article is primarily an acknowledgment and dedication section of a thesis, expressing gratitude to individuals involved in its completion and reports no new research findings.
This study found that UV radiation-induced fibroblast depletion in the skin is primarily due to a deregulated inflammatory response, with T cells aiding fibroblast survival under stress.
29 citations
,
February 2018 in “European Journal of Immunology” In this study, Treg depletion impaired skin wound healing in mice, potentially by altering the cytokine environment and expanding certain T-cell populations, disrupting the normal healing process.
April 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” The researchers observed that vitiligo-affected skin shows a selective depletion of NTRK2+ melanocyte subpopulations with progenitor features, which may contribute to poor treatment responses.
3 citations
,
April 1997 in “Developmental Dynamics” In this study, topical trypsin treatment following depilation in a mouse model induced cell death at the follicular papilla, delaying hair growth and pigmentation.
May 2024 in “Cell proliferation” This study found that melatonin supplementation significantly promoted hair regeneration in a hair depilation mouse model by up-regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in dermal papillae and hair follicle stem cells, suggesting potential implications for human hair loss treatments.
2 citations
,
March 2020 in “Developmental cell” This study reported that stress can induce hair graying in mice through noradrenaline-mediated depletion of melanocyte stem cells in hair follicles, providing a mechanism that connects stress to hair color changes.
February 2016 in “Science” This research found that Foxc1 promotes quiescence in hair follicle stem cells and identified COL17A1 depletion, due to DNA damage, as a cause of hair thinning and loss during aging.
17 citations
,
May 2021 in “Journal of Cell Science” In this study, the researchers discovered that specific polyamine depletion enhances stemness in hair follicle stem cells through a mechanism independent of mRNA translation.
September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that a new formulation using short chain esters and ethanol can selectively deliver hydrogen peroxide to hair follicles during epilation, causing follicular damage without affecting epidermal keratinocytes.
44 citations
,
January 2019 in “Journal of Translational Medicine” This study found that macrophages are crucial for skin regeneration during tissue expansion, as their depletion in rats led to inhibited skin growth and reduced secretion of key growth factors.
21 citations
,
December 2019 in “PloS one” In this study, the authors concluded that the VCD-induced follicular depletion rat model can effectively simulate the perimenopause transition, with hormonal changes distinguishing early/mid-transition from late transition to estropause.
