5 citations,
August 2015 in “Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry” Obese mice with a leptin gene mutation have a longer resting phase in their hair cycle, which may help understand certain hair loss conditions.
42 citations,
March 2014 in “European Journal of Pharmacology” Ginsenoside F2 from ginseng may increase hair growth better than standard treatments by affecting cell growth signals.
19 citations,
November 2001 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” Human hair follicles can regenerate and recover after severe injury by going through a brief abnormal resting phase before growing again.
8 citations,
February 2017 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” Intense pulsed light treatment effectively reduces underarm hair by making hair follicles smaller and extending their resting phase.
13 citations,
