109 citations,
October 2007 in “Journal of pineal research” Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
19 citations,
November 2001 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” Human hair follicles can regenerate and recover after severe injury by going through a brief abnormal resting phase before growing again.
6 citations,
January 2016 in “Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine” Boiling and fermenting certain herbs can help hair grow by activating hair growth genes and pathways.
5 citations,
August 2015 in “Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry” Obese mice with a leptin gene mutation have a longer resting phase in their hair cycle, which may help understand certain hair loss conditions.
14 citations,
January 2018 in “Scientific reports” Bioluminescence imaging can track hair follicle cells and help study hair regrowth.
16 citations,
April 2015 in “Lasers in Surgery and Medicine” Using a fractional laser can stimulate hair growth, but the intensity and duration of inflammation are crucial. Too much can cause ulcers and scarring. Lower beam energy and fewer treatments are recommended to avoid damage.

June 2014 in “Scientific Reports” Wnt1a-conditioned medium from stem cells helps activate cells important for hair growth and can promote hair regrowth.
9 citations,
June 2008 in “Springer eBooks” Understanding hair follicle structure is key for treating hair disorders and could help develop new treatments.
New treatments for hair loss show promise, including plasma, stem cells, and hair-stimulating complexes, but more research is needed to fully understand them.
759 citations,
February 2009 in “Current Biology” Hair follicles are complex, dynamic mini-organs that help us understand cell growth, death, migration, and differentiation, as well as tissue regeneration and tumor biology.
