This study found that dermal papilla and dermal sheath cells from human scalp tissue differ from interstitial dermal fibroblasts in morphology and produce varying levels of TGF-beta 2.

This study introduces a mouse model of cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia, which effectively replicates human chemotherapy-induced hair loss and can be pharmacologically manipulated to study hair regrowth patterns.

In this pilot study, 2% topical Minoxidil showed no benefit in preventing hair loss during chemotherapy for gynecologic cancers, although it was non-toxic.
