May 2014 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This study found that caffeine enhanced hair growth and keratinocyte proliferation in human hair follicles, with female follicles showing greater sensitivity than male ones.
34 citations
,
June 1990 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This study found that etretinate treatment led to an increase in plucked telogen hair counts, suggesting a reduction in the duration of anagen as the primary cause.
13 citations
,
June 2014 in “Experimental Mechanics” 1 citations
,
March 2019 in “Dermatologic Surgery” This journal overview describes the comprehensive focus of the Dermatologic Surgery publication on various skin surgery topics and reports no specific research findings.
In this study, low-level light therapy increased the proliferation and activation of dermal papilla cells, which in turn may enhance the growth of outer root sheath keratinocytes, suggesting potential mechanisms for improving hair follicle interaction.
24 citations
,
March 1995 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This study reported that etretinate treatment leads to increased hair shedding due to a sustained decrease in anagen duration, with an arrest at the onset of anagen and a follicular anchorage defect in telogen contributing to alopecia.
4 citations
,
May 2019 in “Skin Research and Technology” This study found that male pattern hair loss worsened significantly after stopping finasteride, revealing a "rebound effect" where terminal hair transformed into miniaturized hair over 30 months off the drug.
41 citations
,
October 2012 in “Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry” Negative expectations can cause adverse effects in patients even without active treatment, and managing this nocebo effect involves better communication and patient-clinician relationships.
84 citations
,
February 1981 in “Journal of Endocrinology” This study found that epidermal growth factor decreased hair growth rate and altered hair characteristics in neonatal mice, with some effects persisting into subsequent hair generations.
January 2023 in “Psychology” This study reported that seed germination and root hair growth were significantly enhanced after exposure to an individual whose depression was treated with Emotional Freedom Techniques, suggesting that human mood may influence seed viability.
More minoxidil applied topically leads to better hair growth in male pattern baldness.
34 citations
,
May 2012 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” This study found that Ecklonia cava enzymatic extract, particularly its component dieckol, promoted hair growth by increasing dermal papilla cell proliferation and inhibiting 5α-reductase activity in cultured vibrissa follicles and C57BL/6 mice.
June 1996 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” This article reviews challenges in interpreting observational COVID-19 data due to biases from non-random sampling, discussing strategies to address these biases but reporting no new results.
1 citations
,
April 1977 in “Munich Personal RePEc Archive (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich)” This study introduces an efficient ghost-cell based immersed boundary method for simulating fluid-particle mass transfer, capable of accurately handling mixed boundary conditions at particle surfaces.
127 citations
,
June 2008 in “British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology” This study supports the conclusion that the hormetic dose-response model is the most prevalent and fundamental model in biological and biomedical sciences, applicable to a wide range of clinical conditions.
July 2018 in “Our Dermatology Online” In this study, researchers examined the under-studied mechanisms behind specific dermatological phenomena such as co-localization, Wolf's isotopic phenomenon, Koebner's isomorphic phenomenon, and the recently described Renbök phenomenon, noting that only a few cases have been reported so far.

February 2016 in “Scientific reports” This study found that dual inhibition of BACE1 and BACE2 in mice affects melanosome maturation and causes dose-dependent hair depigmentation without altering retinal morphology.
December 2025 in “npj Systems Biology and Applications” This study found that cold exposure disrupts the circadian rhythm in cultured human cells by reducing oscillation amplitude, which is restored upon rewarming, while human hair follicle cells showed minimal amplitude sensitivity to temperature changes, suggesting an evolutionary advantage related to Hopf bifurcation dynamics.
June 2024 in “European neuropsychopharmacology”
2 citations
,
June 2022 in “Molecules” This study demonstrated that an ethanol extract of Connarus semidecandrus Jack showed potential anti-androgenic alopecia effects in a testosterone-induced model, suggesting a possible treatment option for hair loss.
17 citations
,
October 2006 in “Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology” This study found that the L457(3.43)R mutation in the human luteinizing hormone receptor increases phosphodiesterase activity, reducing hormonal response despite elevated basal cAMP levels.
11 citations
,
October 1986 in “International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics” This study found that the combination of ethinylestradiol and desogestrel significantly decreased hair growth and hormone levels in hirsute women, suggesting a relationship between hormone changes and treatment effectiveness.
July 2012 in “European journal of cancer” This study demonstrated that switching aE-catenin to aT-catenin in murine skin substantially rescued hyperproliferative and pre-cancerous conditions, but led to partial baldness, indicating potential functional discrepancies.
