January 2015 in “Springer eBooks” Hair health is influenced by genetics, aging, and environmental factors, with proper care needed to maintain it.
This study found that Chrysanthemum zawadskii extract may promote hair growth by inducing an earlier conversion of telogen to anagen and increasing the proliferation of dermal papilla cells in mice and human hair follicle cultures.
This research suggests that plucked hair follicles may serve as a reliable surrogate tissue for tumor biopsies in drug development, based on a mouse model linking hair and tumor pharmacodynamic responses.
January 2008 in “Durham e-Theses (Durham University)” This study observed that stem cells from the hair follicle dermis share similarities with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and have potential to form neural-like cells under specific conditions.
This article discusses the latest trends in hair restoration surgery and reports no new clinical findings, highlighting the continued unsatisfactory nature of drug therapies for androgenetic alopecia.

January 2002 in “Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery” This study suggests that finasteride may affect hair follicle growth by altering the expression of caspases and XIAP, potentially regulating the anagen phase of hair growth.
21 citations
,
January 2002 in “Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery” This study reports that finasteride treatment in men with androgenetic alopecia appears to restore caspase and XIAP expression in hair follicles to levels similar to those in individuals without the condition.

September 1999 in “The journal of cell biology/The Journal of cell biology” In this study, expressing human K16 in the epidermis of K14 null mice prevented early skin blistering but led to age-related anomalies, indicating K16 and K14 have distinct roles despite their sequence similarity.
50 citations
,
March 2021 in “Journal of investigational allergology & clinical immunology” This review examines existing research and clinical trials on the use of dupilumab for various skin, respiratory, and gastrointestinal disorders, but it reports no new clinical findings.
November 2018 in “Springer eBooks” Children need early diagnosis and treatment for iron-deficiency anemia to prevent learning problems and promote health.
June 2008 in “Springer eBooks” The document concludes that permanent hair loss conditions are complex, require early specific treatments, and "secondary permanent alopecias" might be a more accurate term than "secondary cicatricial alopecia."
June 2006 in “The American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery” Advancements in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery improve techniques and patient satisfaction.
July 2002 in “Dermatologic Surgery” This study found that temporary or permanent leukotrichia may occur after intense pulsed light therapy for hair removal, likely due to differing thermal effects on melanocytes and hair follicle cells.
51 citations
,
August 2013 in “The Journal of experimental medicine/The journal of experimental medicine” This study found that Wnt secretion is important for maintaining skin homeostasis in mice, as Evi-deficient mice developed psoriasis-like skin lesions and had an imbalance in immune cell populations.
124 citations
,
July 2017 in “eLife” This study found that COL17 deficiency in neonatal mice causes abnormal skin cell proliferation due to disrupted Wnt signaling, while replenishing or overexpressing COL17 can reverse this effect in both neonatal and aged skin.
