October 2003 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” Mice treatments didn't grow hair, a patient treatment may affect immune response, and people with hair loss often feel anxious or depressed.
June 2003 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” Advancements in hair biology include new treatments and tools for hair growth and alopecia.
January 2017 in “Springer eBooks” Scientists made working hair follicles using stem cells, helping future hair loss treatments.
September 2016 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” The protein aPKCλ is crucial for keeping hair follicle stem cells inactive and for hair growth and regeneration.
