research Histocompatibility and Long-Term Results of Follicular Unit-Like Wigs After Xenogeneic Hair Transplantation: An Experimental Study in Rabbits
The wigs made from human hair and polypropylene were mostly well-tolerated and durable in rabbits, suggesting they could be a new option for people with extensive hair loss.
research Finasteride and Its Potential for the Treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss: Evidence to Date
Finasteride shows promise for female hair loss, but more research needed.
research The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions During Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
research The Role of P-Cadherin in Skin Biology and Pathology: Lessons from the Hair Follicle
P-cadherin is important for hair growth and health, and its problems can cause hair and skin disorders.
research In Situ Labeling of DNA Reveals Interindividual Variation in Nuclear DNA Breakdown in Hair and May Be Useful to Predict Success of Forensic Genotyping of Hair
