12 citations,
January 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Hair follicle studies suggest that maintaining telomere length could help treat hair loss and graying, but it's uncertain if mouse results apply to humans.
7 citations,
September 2017 in “Scientific Reports” Mice with too much sPLA₂-IIA have hair loss and poor wound healing due to abnormal hair growth and stem cell depletion.

56 citations,
May 2017 in “Nature Cell Biology” Hair can regrow after certain stem cells are lost because other stem cells can take over their role.
1 citations,
September 2013 in “Elsevier eBooks” Hair ages and thins due to factors like inflammation and stress, and treatments like antioxidants and hormones might improve hair health.
May 2022 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” miR-29a-5p prevents the formation of early hair structures by targeting a gene important for hair growth and is regulated by a complex network involving lncRNA627.1.
September 2024 in “Egyptian Journal of Dermatology and Venerology” Low-energy fractional CO2 laser therapy significantly improves hair regrowth in women with female-pattern hair loss.
April 2024 in “Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy” Pilose antler extract helps hair grow in mice with a type of hair loss by speeding up the growth phase.
January 2024 in “Journal of tissue engineering” Sunlight exposure damages hair follicles, but certain stem cell-derived particles can reduce this damage and help with hair regeneration.
18 citations,
October 2017 in “PLOS ONE” The study concluded that similar pathways regulate hair growth in dogs and mice, and these pathways are disrupted in dogs with Alopecia X, affecting stem cells and hormone metabolism.
14 citations,
November 2020 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Advanced therapies like gene, cell, and tissue engineering show promise for hair regrowth in alopecia, but their safety and effectiveness need more verification.
19 citations,
January 2021 in “Experimental dermatology” Acne inversa is an epithelial-driven disease where inflammation is caused by cyst rupture, and treatments should focus on preventing tendril growth for better results.
1 citations,
October 2021 in “Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” Vitamin B3 may help prevent hair loss and promote hair growth by protecting scalp cells from stress and reducing hair growth-blocking proteins.
129 citations,
May 2015 in “Cell Stem Cell” Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
