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.
23 citations,
September 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” NF-κB is crucial for different stages and types of hair growth in mice.
19 citations,
July 2011 in “Microscopy and Microanalysis” The hair follicle bulge is an important area for adult stem cells involved in hair growth and repair, with potential for medical use needing more research.
15 citations,
September 1999 in “British Journal of Dermatology” Epimorphin, a protein, plays a key role in the development of hair follicles in human fetuses, but it doesn't help in maintaining the stem cell population of the follicular skin layer.
3 citations,
April 2011 in “Expert Review of Dermatology” Male hair loss is caused by inactive hair follicle stem cells.
December 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” MicroRNA-205 helps hair grow by changing the stiffness and contraction of hair follicle cells.

Researchers developed a method to create artificial hair follicles that may help with hair loss treatment and research.
November 2016 in “Oncology Letters” Milia may come from the outer part of the hair follicle.
August 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Zinc deficiency disrupts hair growth and cycle, but zinc supplements can fix this.
April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Blocking Prostaglandin D₂ (PGD₂) could help treat hair loss.
November 2014 in “Journal of Cell Biology” Valentina Greco's research shows that the environment around hair follicle stem cells is more crucial for regeneration than the stem cells themselves.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Blocking casein kinase 1 in skin cells can help melanocyte precursors move better, potentially helping with conditions like vitiligo or gray hair.
February 2023 in “International journal of molecular sciences” Infrared spectral imaging can effectively study protein distribution in hair follicles during hair growth.
