April 2001 in “Biological Rhythm Research” This study suggests that D2O increases hair length in nude mice by extending the hair cycle duration, particularly the hair-existing phase, which is associated with increased mast cell density.
This study suggests that targeting the activation of transit-amplifying cell-derived progenitor cells may help prevent hair loss from chemotherapy and radiotherapy by promoting hair follicle regeneration.
September 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that while 450nm blue light can inhibit collagen and induce oxidative stress in dermal fibroblasts, 850nm near-infrared light may enhance metabolic activity without causing oxidative damage, suggesting potential for tailored light therapies in skin treatments.
