research Effects of Finasteride on Apoptosis and Regulation of the Human Hair Cycle
Finasteride affects hair growth by changing caspase and XIAP levels, potentially treating hair diseases.
research Histologic Study of the Regeneration Process of Human Hair Follicles Grafted onto SCID Mice after Bulb Amputation
Human hair follicles can regenerate and recover after severe injury by going through a brief abnormal resting phase before growing again.
research A Missense Mutation in the P2RY5 Gene Leading to Autosomal Recessive Woolly Hair in a Syrian Patient
A gene mutation causes woolly hair in a Syrian patient.
research Integral Roles of Specific Proteoglycans in Hair Growth and Hair Loss: Mechanisms Behind the Bioactivity of Proteoglycan Replacement Therapy with Nourkrin with Marilex in Pattern Hair Loss and Telogen Effluvium
