research Segmental Hair Analysis as a Retrospective Testosterone Diary: Possibilities and Pitfalls
Segmental hair analysis can track testosterone over time but needs adjustments for sex, hair color, and washing frequency.
research Segmental Hair Analysis - A Retrospective Testosterone Diary?
Hair analysis can somewhat track past testosterone levels but is influenced by factors like hair washing, growth rate, sex, and hair color.
research Hair, Cutaneous Homeostasis, and Stem Cell Functions
Proteins like aPKC and PDGF-AA, substances like adenosine and ATP, and adipose-derived stem cells all play important roles in hair growth and health, and could potentially be used to treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research Wound Healing, Cutaneous Therapy, and Hair Growth
Some treatments like topical oxygen and stem cells show promise for wound healing and hair growth, but evidence for modern dressings over traditional ones is limited.

research Effects of Self-Perceived Hair Loss in a Community Sample of Men
Men who think they are losing hair feel worse about themselves, especially if they are younger.
research Potential Targets in the Discovery of New Hair Growth Promoters for Androgenic Alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Stem Cell Plasticity Enables Hair Regeneration Following Lgr5+ Cell Loss
Hair can regrow after certain stem cells are lost because other stem cells can take over their role.
research Modulating Hair Follicle Size with Wnt10b/DKK1 During Hair Regeneration
Wnt10b makes hair follicles bigger, but DKK1 can reverse this effect.
