January 2010 in “Elsevier eBooks” The document concludes that different types of hair loss have specific treatments, and early diagnosis is crucial for preventing permanent hair loss.
October 2007 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The document suggests a bacteria plays a significant role in acne rosacea and that white hair can regain color after transplant, meriting more research on reversing grey hair.
January 2000 in “BioScience” The document concludes that understanding hair biology is key to treating hair disorders, with gene therapy showing potential as a future treatment.
