research A Model System for Long-Term Serum-Free Suspension Organ Culture of Human Fetal Tissues: Experiments on Digits and Skin from Multiple Body Regions
Scientists developed a method to grow human fetal skin and digits in a lab for 3-4 weeks, which could help study skin features and understand genetic interactions in tissue formation.
research Bioengineering Skin Constructs
Future research should focus on making bioengineered skin that completely restores all skin functions.
research Immunolocalization of 5α-Reductase Isozymes in Acne Lesions and Normal Skin
The study found that the enzyme linked to acne is present in the same areas of both acne-affected and normal skin.
research Protease Activity, Localization, and Inhibition in the Human Hair Follicle
The study suggests that a new protease inhibitor can make hair harder to pull out, potentially reducing hair loss.
research Effect of Thioredoxin Reductase 1 on Glucocorticoid Receptor Activity in Human Outer Root Sheath Cells
Thioredoxin reductase 1 does not affect glucocorticoid receptor activity in hair follicle cells.
research Clinical and Histopathological Features of Itch in Patients with Alopecia Areata
Some patients with Alopecia Areata experience itch due to immune cells and enzymes that cause itching.
research Protective Role of Nigella Sativa in Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Black seed oil significantly protects against hair loss from chemotherapy.
research Ascorbigen Induces Dermal Papilla Cell Proliferation In Vitro, But Fails To Modulate Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia In Vivo
Ascorbigen increases hair cell growth in a lab setting but does not prevent hair loss from chemotherapy in mice.
research Dissecting the Impact of Chemotherapy on the Human Hair Follicle
Chemotherapy damages hair follicles, causing hair loss and other cellular changes.
research Heat Treatment Increases the Incidence of Alopecia Areata in the C3H/HeJ Mouse Model
Heat treatment increases hair loss in certain mice.
research Laminin-511, Inducer of Hair Growth, Is Down-Regulated and Its Suppressor in Hair Growth, Laminin-332 Up-Regulated in Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Chemotherapy-induced hair loss is partly due to decreased laminin-511 and increased laminin-332.
research A Novel 3D Printed Model of Infected Human Hair Follicles to Demonstrate Targeted Delivery of Nanoantibiotics
Nanoencapsulated antibiotics are more effective in treating hair follicle infections than free antibiotics.
research Inducible Skin-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (iSALT) Detected in Scalp Treated with Topical Immunotherapy for Alopecia Areata
Topical immunotherapy for alopecia areata may work by creating immune cell clusters in the skin.
research Hair Follicle Cell Mixture Forms Hair Follicle-Like Structures After Subcutaneous Implantation in Nude Mice
Implanted human scalp cells can regenerate hair-like structures in mice.
research Transfollicular Drug Delivery: Penetration of Drugs Through Human Scalp Skin and Comparison of Penetration Between Scalp and Abdominal Skins In Vitro
Drugs penetrate scalp skin better than abdominal skin, with scalp hair follicles aiding in higher drug delivery.
research Measuring Reversal of Hair Miniaturization in Androgenetic Alopecia by Follicular Counts in Horizontal Sections of Serial Scalp Biopsies: Results of Finasteride 1mg Treatment of Men and Postmenopausal Women
Finasteride 1mg helps reverse hair miniaturization in men and postmenopausal women.
research Transepidermal UV Radiation of Scalp Skin Ex Vivo Induces Hair Follicle Damage That Is Alleviated by Topical Treatment with Caffeine
Caffeine applied to the scalp can protect hair follicles from UV damage.
research Analysis of the Expression Pattern of the Carrier Protein Transthyretin and Its Receptor Megalin in the Human Scalp Skin and Hair Follicles: Hair Cycle-Associated Changes
The proteins transthyretin and megalin are more present in the growth phase of hair, suggesting they might affect hair health and growth.
research Dandruff Lesional Scalp Skin Exhibits Epidermal T Cell Infiltration and a Weakened Hair Follicle Immune Privilege
Dandruff is linked to increased T cells and weakened immune protection in hair follicles.

Minoxidil solution and foam both increase hair growth, but the solution works better than the foam.
research Morphological and Morphometric Study of the Androgenetic Alopecic Scalp Using Two- and Three-Dimensional Analysis Comparing Regional Differences
The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.
research Baldness May Be Caused by the Weight of the Scalp: Gravity as a Proposed Mechanism for Hair Loss
Baldness might be caused by scalp weight pressing on hair follicles.
research Dissociated Skin Cells Regenerate Hair Follicles in a Microwound: The Punch Assay
