2 citations,
January 2012 in “InTech eBooks” Chemotherapy often causes hair loss, which usually grows back within 3 to 6 months, but there's no effective treatment to prevent it.
53 citations,
November 2006 in “Journal of Endocrinology” Prolactin slows down hair growth in mice.
5 citations,
February 2008 in “Experimental Dermatology” Cyclosporin A promotes hair growth in mice and increases a protein linked to hair growth, but it may not work the same way in humans.
101 citations,
January 1997 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” Nerves and chemicals in the body can affect hair growth and loss.
January 2018 in “Elsevier eBooks” The document concludes that alopecia has significant social and psychological effects, leading to a market for hair loss treatments.
6 citations,
June 2022 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” The gel with icariin speeds up wound healing, reduces scarring, and helps hair growth by controlling BMP4 signaling. It also reduces inflammation and improves wound quality in mice, adapts to different wound shapes, and gradually releases icariin to aid healing. It also prevents too much collagen and myofibroblast formation during skin healing.
25 citations,

January 2021 in “Processes” Researchers successfully grew horse skin cells that produce pigment from hair follicle samples.
August 2023 in “European Journal of Plastic Surgery” 3D bioprinting is advancing in plastic and reconstructive surgery, especially for creating tissues and improving surgical planning, but faces challenges like vascularization and material development.
45 citations,
April 2019 in “International Immunology” The study concluded that immune cells attacking hair follicles cause hair loss in alopecia, with genetics and environment also playing a role, and highlighted the potential of certain treatments.
Alopecia areata, a type of hair loss, may be passed through T cells and has genetic links, while treatments vary in effectiveness. Male pattern baldness can be treated with finasteride and is influenced by androgens in hair follicles.
