New cells are added to the hair's dermal papilla during the active growth phase.
research Activation of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Is Involved in Hair Growth-Promoting Effect of 655-nm Red Light and LED in In Vitro Culture Model
Red light and LED treatments help hair grow by activating a specific cell signaling pathway.
research Androgen-Dependent Beard Dermal Papilla Cells Secrete Autocrine Growth Factors in Response to Testosterone Unlike Scalp Cells
Beard cells, unlike scalp cells, produce growth factors in response to testosterone, which may explain differences in hair growth.
research Mutations in Sterol O-Acyltransferase 1 (SOAT1) Result in Hair Interior Defects in AKR/J Mice
A mutation in the Soat1 gene causes hair structure defects and other health issues in AKR/J mice.
research Hair Follicle Culture: A Historical Perspective
Advancements in hair follicle culture have led to better understanding and potential treatments for hair loss.
research Androgen-Inducible TGF-β1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Inhibits Epithelial Cell Growth: A Clue to Understanding Paradoxical Effects of Androgen on Human Hair Growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.
research Structural Optimization of Pep7, a Small Peptide Extracted from Epimorphin, for Effective Induction of Hair Follicle Anagen
Modified pep7, named EPM peptide, effectively promotes hair growth at low concentrations and works well with minoxidil.
research Evaluation and Treatment of Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss
Early diagnosis and treatment, using finasteride, minoxidil, or hair transplantation, improves hair loss outcomes.
research Measurement of Hair Growth
Scalp hair grows at 0.37 mm/day, forearm hair at 0.18 mm/day, and thigh hair at 0.30 mm/day, with no significant differences found in people with certain hair conditions.
research Integral Roles of Specific Proteoglycans in Hair Growth and Hair Loss: Mechanisms Behind the Bioactivity of Proteoglycan Replacement Therapy with Nourkrin with Marilex in Pattern Hair Loss and Telogen Effluvium
Proteoglycans are important for hair growth, and a specific treatment can help reduce hair loss.
research A Review on Tectona Grandis
Teak is a durable, termite-resistant wood with medicinal benefits.
research Desmoglein 4 Is Regulated by Transcription Factors Implicated in Hair Shaft Differentiation
Desmoglein 4 is controlled by specific proteins that affect hair growth.
research Hair Follicle Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Genes Regulating Wool Fiber Diameter in Angora Rabbits
Genes affecting wool fiber thickness in Angora rabbits were identified, which could help breed finer wool.
research Regeneration of Hair and Other Skin Appendages: A Microenvironment-Centric View
The microenvironment, especially mechanical forces, plays a crucial role in hair growth and could lead to new treatments for hair loss.
research Trichohyalin, an Intermediate Filament-Associated Protein of the Hair Follicle
Trichohyalin is a protein in hair follicles that helps form hair filaments.
research Original Article: Efficacy of Clitocybin A on Dermal Papilla Cell Proliferation
Clitocybin A can promote hair growth by increasing cell proliferation.
research Minoxidil Stimulates Mouse Vibrissae Follicles in Organ Culture
Minoxidil can help grow hair in mice by making cells grow and improving hair quality. More research needed.
research Promotion of Hair Growth by Ginseng Radix on Cultured Mouse Vibrissal Hair Follicles
Ginseng, especially red ginseng, helps hair grow by increasing blood flow and energy to hair roots.
research Human Hair Follicles Contain Two Forms of ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channels, Only One Sensitive to Minoxidil
One minoxidil-sensitive potassium channel exists in human hair follicles.
research Histologic Study of the Regeneration Process of Human Hair Follicles Grafted onto SCID Mice after Bulb Amputation
Human hair follicles can regenerate and recover after severe injury by going through a brief abnormal resting phase before growing again.
research Protection Against Cytosine Arabinoside-Induced Alopecia by Minoxidil in a Rat Animal Model
Minoxidil helps prevent hair loss from chemotherapy in rats.
research The Role of Melatonin in Neuroectodermal-Mesodermal Interactions: The Hair Follicle Synthesizes Melatonin and Expresses Functional Melatonin Receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research In Vivo Follicular Unit Multiplication: Is It Possible to Harvest an Unlimited Donor Supply?
Transplanted transected hair follicles can survive but grow at unsatisfactory rates and are thinner, suggesting limited potential for unlimited donor hair supply.
research In Vivo Follicular Unit Multiplication
Cutting hair follicles into pieces for transplantation results in poor growth and thinner hair, and the technique is more invasive than previously thought.
