242 citations,
February 2016 in “Science” Hair loss and aging are caused by the breakdown of a key protein in hair stem cells.
116 citations,
May 2013 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America” Hair grows faster in the morning and is more vulnerable to damage from radiation due to the internal clock in hair follicle cells.
61 citations,
September 2020 in “Bioactive Materials” A special dressing called FEA-PCEI can speed up wound healing, reduce scars, and help grow new hair follicles, but only at the right dosage.
56 citations,
December 2010 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Hair follicle cells age faster and lose pigment due to less catalase, causing hair to turn gray.
33 citations,
April 2020 in “Journal of Clinical Investigation” Stress in hair follicle stem cells causes inflammation in a chronic skin condition through a specific immune response pathway.
22 citations,
November 2016 in “International journal of molecular sciences” Vitamin D receptor is important for regulating hair growth and wound healing in mice.
11 citations,
June 2019 in “Tissue & Cell” Hair stem cells produce a protein called COL17A1 that plays a key role in their development and is linked to hair thinning and baldness.
8 citations,
February 2017 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” Intense pulsed light treatment effectively reduces underarm hair by making hair follicles smaller and extending their resting phase.
Intermittent fasting slows hair growth by damaging hair follicle cells.
September 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Higher SPF sunscreens provide more DNA protection, and the form of sunscreen doesn't affect protection level.
128 citations,
August 2015 in “Cell Stem Cell” Damage to skin releases dsRNA, which activates TLR3 and helps in skin and hair follicle regeneration.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Chemotherapy and radiation therapy cause skin and hair damage by altering gene expression and signaling pathways.
