June 1989 in “Archives of Dermatology” This case report describes a 65-year-old man diagnosed with a trichofolliculoma, a benign tumor originating from hair follicles, which appeared as a persistent pore on his cheek.
January 2013 in “CINECA IRIS Institutial research information system (University of Pisa)” September 2021 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This article discusses the global interest and market presence of biotin-based supplements like Folexin for preventing alopecia, but it reports no new research findings.
2 citations
,
March 2019 in “Lasers in surgery and medicine” This study found that human hair follicles demonstrated a dose-dependent response to light in an ex vivo photoepilation model, which could predict the clinical efficacy and permanency of light-based hair removal devices.
3 citations
,
August 2013 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” This study identified a novel microscopic "arrow sign" in hair root sheaths of patients on EGFR inhibitors, potentially aiding in diagnosing related hair changes and differentiating from fungal infections.

11 citations
,
October 2019 in “Journal of Cancer Immunology” This article discusses the role of external beam radiotherapy as a primary treatment method for cancer and reports no new clinical findings.
7 citations
,
January 2003 in “Journal of cosmetic and laser therapy” This study concluded that the Spa Touch system effectively retards hair regrowth, functioning like a "light razor" for quick and cost-effective epilation.
This study found that radiofrequency microneedling significantly enhanced the absorption of topical triamcinolone acetonide, with insertion depth being more influential than RF energy levels.
9 citations
,
October 1989 in “Australian Journal of Agricultural Research” This study found that infused mouse epidermal growth factor induced wool follicle involution through a quasi-physiological process similar to catagen and a separate pathological action, resulting in fleece 'break' or shedding.
8 citations
,
February 2016 in “The American Journal of Dermatopathology” In this study, the researchers found that transplanted hair follicles undergo significant morphological changes, including a thickened dermal sheath and increased hair shaft diameter, which are associated with altered follicular vascularization.
1 citations
,
November 2009 in “Cambridge University Press eBooks” This article reports that follicular unit extraction is a minimally invasive hair restoration technique that avoids linear scarring and reduces donor-site pain compared to traditional strip harvesting methods.
5 citations
,
March 2009 in “Pediatric Dermatology” The study found that pili bifurcati causes hair to intermittently split into two branches, each with its own outer layer.
August 2015 in “Dermatología Argentina” This study reviewed 18 postmenopausal women with frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting frontotemporal hairline recession and eyebrow loss, often treated with steroids, triamcinolone, and other medications.

October 2024 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study found that downregulating miR-30a-5p levels inhibits apoptosis and promotes proliferation in hair follicle stem cells, which is associated with the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
January 2026 in “Chemical Engineering Journal” In this study, researchers developed a programmable system using engineered nanovesicles from hair follicle stem cells to modulate immune responses, which showed promise in precisely controlling inflammation, promoting immune balance, and accelerating wound healing, particularly for infected wounds.
July 2018 in “Current Analytical Chemistry” This study observed that carbon paste electrodes catalyze the electrooxidation of minoxidil more efficiently than other electrode types, with a detection limit of approximately 20 ng mL^-1.
