research Histology of the Human Hair Follicle
Understanding hair follicle structure is key for treating hair disorders and could help develop new treatments.
research Expression Pattern of Cyclooxygenase-2 in Normal Rat Epidermis and Pilosebaceous Unit During Hair Cycle
COX-2 levels change during the hair cycle and affect skin and hair growth.
research Keratin-Mediated Hair Growth and Its Underlying Biological Mechanism
Keratin injections can promote hair growth by affecting hair-forming cells and tissue development.
research Molecular Elements of the Regulatory Control of Keratin Filament Modulator AHF/Trichohyalin in the Hair Follicle
The study concluded that a protein important for hair strength is regulated by certain molecular processes and is affected by growth phases.
research Stiffness of Human Hair Correlates with the Fractions of Cortical Cell Types
Hair stiffness is higher when it has more para-like cortical cells.
research A Practitioner's Guide to Hair Loss Part 1: History, Biology, Genetics, Prevention, Conventional Treatments, and Herbals

research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research The Hair Follicle as a Dynamic Mini-Organ
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.
research Molecular Dissection of Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions in the Hair Follicle
Understanding gene expression in hair follicles can reveal insights into hair growth and disorders.
research The Hair Cycle
The document concludes that the hair cycle is a complex process involving growth, regression, and rest phases, regulated by various molecular signals.
research WNT Signaling in the Control of Hair Growth and Structure
The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.
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 Root Hair Growth in Arabidopsis Thaliana Is Directed by Calcium and an Endogenous Polarity
Calcium affects where root hairs grow, but other unknown factors determine their growth direction.
