research Melanogenesis Is Coupled to Murine Anagen: New Concepts for the Role of Melanocytes and Regulation of Melanogenesis in Hair Growth
Hair color production is closely linked to the active growth phase of hair in mice and may also influence hair growth itself.
research The Role of Melatonin in Neuroectodermal-Mesodermal Interactions: The Hair Follicle Synthesizes Melatonin and Expresses Functional Melatonin Receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Can Plant-Derived Phytochemicals Provide Symptom Relief for Hair Loss? A Critical Review
Some plant-based chemicals may help with hair growth, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research In Vitro Hair Growth Promoting Effect of a Noncrosslinked Hyaluronic Acid in Human Dermal Papilla Cells

research Editor's Evaluation: Involvement of ILC1-Like Innate Lymphocytes in Human Autoimmunity, Lessons from Alopecia Areata
ILC1-like cells can independently cause alopecia areata by affecting hair follicles.
research 4-Aminopyridine Induces Nerve Growth Factor to Improve Skin Wound Healing and Tissue Regeneration
4-Aminopyridine improves skin wound healing and tissue regeneration by increasing cell growth and promoting nerve repair.
research Cannabinoid Compounds as a Pharmacotherapeutic Option for the Treatment of Non-Cancer Skin Diseases
Cannabinoids like CBD and THC may help treat non-cancer skin diseases, but more research is needed.
research Telomere Dynamics and Telomerase in the Biology of Hair Follicles and Their Stem Cells as a Model for Aging Research
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.
research Neuroendocrinology of Epithelial Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Hormones and neuroendocrine factors control hair growth and color, and more research could lead to new hair treatment options.
research A Cell Membrane-Level Approach to Cicatricial Alopecia Management: Is Caveolin-1 a Viable Therapeutic Target in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia?
Targeting the protein Caveolin-1 might help treat a type of scarring hair loss called Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia.
research The Eyelash Follicle Features and Anomalies: A Review
Eyelashes protect the eyes, but more research is needed to understand how.
research LncRNA H19 Overexpression Activates Wnt Signaling to Maintain the Hair Follicle Regeneration Potential of Dermal Papilla Cells
H19 boosts hair growth potential by activating Wnt signaling, possibly helping treat hair loss.
research Hair Follicle Immune Privilege and Its Collapse in Alopecia Areata
Hair follicles are normally protected from the immune system, but when this protection fails, it can cause hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Thyroidism Effect on Alopecia Patients in Pakistan
Thyroid hormone imbalances can cause hair loss in alopecia patients.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research A Desmosomal Cadherin Controls Multipotent Hair Follicle Stem Cell Quiescence and Orchestrates Regeneration Through Adhesion Signaling
A protein called desmoglein 3 is important for keeping hair follicle stem cells inactive and helps in their regeneration.
research Methods in Hair Research: How to Objectively Distinguish Between Anagen and Catagen in Human Hair Follicle Organ Culture
