research Hair Through the Female Life Cycle
Women's hair generally gets thinner and less dense starting in their mid-thirties, with hair loss becoming more common as they age due to both genetics and environment.
research Asian Hair: A Review of Structures, Properties, and Distinctive Disorders
Asian hair is generally straight and thick, with unique disorders and properties, and more research is needed to understand it fully.
research Androgen Modulation of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgens may block hair growth signals, targeting this could treat hair loss.
research The Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Cutaneous Remodeling and Hair Follicle Dynamics
Tiny particles called extracellular vesicles could help with skin healing and hair growth, but more research is needed.
research Deciphering the Functions of the Hair Follicle Infundibulum in Skin Physiology and Disease

research Hair Darkening in Porphyria Cutanea Tarda
Two patients with porphyria cutanea tarda experienced their grey hair turning dark again.
research Adult Skin Acute Stress Responses to Short-Term Environmental and Internal Aggression from Exposome Factors
Adult skin quickly reacts to short-term environmental and internal stress, leading to various skin issues and the need for protective measures.
research Comparative Regenerative Biology of Spiny (Acomys Cahirinus) and Laboratory (Mus Musculus) Mouse Skin
Spiny mice are better at regenerating hair after injury than laboratory mice and could help us understand how to improve human skin repair.
research Age-Related Hair Changes in Men: Mechanisms and Management of Alopecia and Graying
Men's hair loss is caused by hormones and genes, and can be treated with medication and surgery, while graying is due to aging and has no prevention except dyeing.
research Single-Strand DNA Breaks in Human Hair Root Cells Exposed to Mobile Phone Radiation
Mobile phone radiation can cause DNA damage in human hair root cells.
research Multipotent Nestin-Expressing Hair Follicle Stem Cells
