research Organogenesis From Dissociated Cells: Generation of Mature Cycling Hair Follicles From Skin-Derived Cells
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.
research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Are Associated with Monilethrix-Like Congenital Hypotrichosis
Mutations in the DSG4 gene can cause a rare hair disorder similar to monilethrix.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration Using Grafted Rodent and Human Cells
Grafted rodent and human cells can regenerate hair follicles, but efficiency decreases with age.

HFMs can help study hair growth and test potential hair growth drugs.
research Regeneration of Hair Follicles Is Modulated by Flightless I (Flii) in a Rodent Vibrissa Model
Flightless I protein affects hair growth, with low levels delaying it and high levels increasing hair length in rodents.
research Mimicking Hair Disorders by Genetic Manipulation of Organ-Cultured Human Hair Follicles
Scientists can mimic hair disorders by altering genes in lab-grown human hair follicles, but these follicles lack some features of natural ones.
research Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
research Hair Biology and Nutritional Influences
Eating a balanced diet with the right vitamins and minerals is important for healthy hair, but too many supplements can be harmful.
research A Novel Human Type II Cytokeratin, K6hf, Specifically Expressed in the Companion Layer of the Hair Follicle

research Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Adipose Tissue in Clinical Applications for Dermatological Indications and Skin Aging
Fat-derived stem cells show promise for skin repair and reducing aging signs but need more research for consistent results.
research Treatment of Male Pattern Baldness with Botulinum Toxin: A Pilot Study
Botox increased hair count in men with baldness and might work by improving scalp blood flow.
research To Grow or Not to Grow: Hair Morphogenesis and Human Genetic Hair Disorders
Genetic mutations can cause hair growth disorders by affecting key genes and signaling pathways.
research Perspectives on Hair Evolution Based on Comparative Studies on Vertebrate Cornification
Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.
research Targeted Expression of SV40 T Antigen in the Hair Follicle of Transgenic Mice Produces an Aberrant Hair Phenotype
SV40 T antigen in hair follicles causes abnormal hair and health issues in mice.
research The Role of Anemia and Vitamin D Levels in Acute and Chronic Telogen Effluvium
Low iron levels are a significant risk factor for hair loss, while high vitamin D levels might be a response to hair loss, not a cause.
research Estrogen Modulates Mesenchymal-Epidermal Interactions in the Adult Nipple
Estrogen is important for keeping adult mouse nipple skin healthy by controlling certain cell signals.
research Morphological Changes of the Hair Roots in Alopecia Areata: A Scanning Electron Microscopic Study
Scanning electron microscopy revealed four distinct hair root shapes in alopecia areata, suggesting a less invasive diagnostic method.
research Impairment of Hair-Inducing Capacity of 3D-Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells by the Ablation of STAT5
Removing STAT5 from 3D-cultured human skin cells reduces their ability to grow hair.
research Mutation-Specific siRNA Knockdown of GJB2: Potential Gene Therapy for Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness Syndrome
Targeted siRNA therapy may be a promising treatment for KID syndrome by reducing mutant gene expression and improving cell communication.
research Dietary Fat- and Obesity-Sensitive Dermal Adipocyte PKCβ Induction and Inflammation Cross-Talk
Eating a lot of fat increases PKCβ and inflammation in skin fat cells, which affects skin and hair health.
research Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) L55M and Q192R Polymorphisms, Lipid Profiles, and Psoriasis
The PON1 192R gene variant is linked to a higher risk of psoriasis and heart disease in Western Mexico.
