22 citations
,
December 2014 in “Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology” This study found that baicalin activates Wnt/ß-catenin signaling in human dermal papilla cells, increasing alkaline phosphatase expression, growth factor expression, and promoting hair growth in mice.
20 citations
,
January 1979 in “Journal of Experimental Zoology” In this study, epilation in female rats generally accelerated hair eruption, especially in successive cycles, with variations influenced by hormonal treatments and timing within the hair growth cycle.
14 citations
,
June 2017 in “Immunity” This study found that skin-resident Treg cells regulate hair follicle stem cell proliferation and differentiation through the Jag1-Notch signaling pathway, influencing hair regeneration.
13 citations
,
July 2004 in “Skinmed” This article reviews the structure and function of hair follicles, diagnostic approaches, and treatments for nonscarring alopecias, but reports no new clinical results.

6 citations
,
October 2012 in “BMJ” This case report describes a 37-year-old woman whose recurrent hair shedding was associated with low iron stores and a miscarriage, with improvements seen after increased iron intake.
5 citations
,
October 2021 in “Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy” In this study, structural and functional brain abnormalities specific to visuospatial and somatosensory processing networks were observed in patients with anorexia nervosa, highlighting a critical role for the precuneus.
This study found that ocu-miR-205 affects signaling pathways, promoting the apoptosis of dermal papilla cells and influencing hair follicle density in Rex rabbits.
3 citations
,
October 1993 in “The Journal of Dermatology” This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment of clinical hair loss without providing new clinical results.
2 citations
,
January 2022 in “Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine” This review discusses the potential of extracellular vesicles from various sources as promising candidates for hair growth stimulation but notes that clinical trials are needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
This study found that ocu-miR-205 promotes apoptosis in dermal papilla cells, alters hair follicle signaling pathways, and affects hair density in Rex rabbits.
January 2026 in “Dermatology and Therapy” This review explores the potential connection between GA and various types of alopecia but reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for further research.
This study found that activating autophagy in hair follicle stem cells can promote hair growth by shifting their metabolism to glycolysis, while inhibiting it led to delayed hair cycle progression.
July 2023 in “Journal of Clinical Medicine” This paper identifies challenges in diagnosing alopecia variants, emphasizing the importance of pathologists understanding hair follicle histology, biopsy types, and collaborating with dermatologists to improve diagnostic accuracy.
June 2023 in “Antioxidants” This study found that lipids extracted from Schizochytrium sp. significantly enhanced the proliferation and survival of dermal papilla cells under oxidative stress, reduced reactive oxygen species, inhibited ferroptosis, and promoted antioxidant genes, which improved hair growth in experimental settings, suggesting a potential treatment for alopecia.
May 2023 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This prospective randomized controlled trial found that combining platelet-rich plasma plus basic fibroblast growth factor injections with topical minoxidil significantly improves hair count and growth rate in androgenetic alopecia patients compared to either treatment alone.
May 2020 in “Lithuanian University of Health Sciences” This review discusses alopecia areata as an autoimmune condition affecting hair follicles and highlights ongoing research efforts, but reports no new clinical results.
This extended abstract discusses various treatments for alopecia, including low-level light therapy, which has shown promise but requires further research to establish effectiveness, especially in combination with other therapies.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, researchers demonstrated that the Id2 gene acts as a direct target and effector of BMP signaling, playing a key role in maintaining quiescence in hair follicle stem cells in vivo.
