research Melatonin Regulates the Periodic Growth of Secondary Hair Follicles Through the Nuclear Receptor RORα
Melatonin helps hair grow by activating the RORα receptor in goats.
research The cDNA-Deduced Amino Acid Sequence for Trichohyalin, a Differentiation Marker in the Hair Follicle, Contains a 23 Amino Acid Repeat
Trichohyalin, a hair follicle protein, has a part with repeating patterns of 23 amino acids.
research A Mouse Model for the Basal Transcription and DNA Repair Syndrome Trichothiodystrophy
Researchers created a mouse with the same mutation as humans with trichothiodystrophy, showing similar symptoms and confirming the condition is due to defects in DNA repair and gene activity.
research Pollen Allergies in Humans and Their Dogs, Cats, and Horses: Differences and Similarities
Humans and pets share similar allergy mechanisms, and studying pet allergies can help treat both human and animal allergies.
research Serum Prolactin and Dehydroepiandrosterone Concentrations During the Summer and Winter Hair Growth Cycles of Mink (Mustela Vison)
Changes in prolactin and DHEA levels are not required for the start of mink hair growth cycles.
research Complementary Evolution of Coding and Noncoding Sequence Underlies Mammalian Hairlessness
Both gene and non-gene areas of DNA evolved to make some mammals hairless.

Microbiota changes in deer antler velvet aid in wound healing and tissue regeneration.
research The Localization and Characterization of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Receptors and the Investigation of Melatonin Receptors on the Hair Follicles of Seasonal and Non-Seasonal Fiber-Producing Goats
Goat hair follicles have insulin-like growth factor-I receptors that might affect hair growth, but no melatonin receptors were found.
research Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization, and Expression Analysis of Keratin Genes (KRTs) Family in Yak (Bos Grunniens)
Scientists found 53 keratin genes in yaks that are important for hair growth and share similarities with those in other animals.
research Evolution of Trichocyte Keratins
Hair keratins evolved from ancient proteins, diversifying through gene changes, crucial for forming claws and later hair in mammals.
research Biphasic Effects of Minoxidil on the Proliferation and Differentiation of Normal Human Keratinocytes
Minoxidil affects cell growth in two ways: low doses increase growth, while high doses slow it down and can be toxic.
research Straight to the Point: What Do We Know So Far on Hair Straightening?
Hair straightening can damage hair and pose health risks, including exposure to carcinogens and hair loss.
research Eclipta Alba Extract With Potential For Hair Growth Promoting Activity
Eclipta alba extract may help hair grow similarly to Minoxidil.
research Healthy Hair: Form and Function
Hair health is influenced by genetics, aging, and environmental factors, with proper care needed to maintain it.
research Androgens and Hair Growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Human Scalp Hair Follicles Are Both a Target and a Source of Prolactin, Which Serves as an Autocrine and/or Paracrine Promoter of Apoptosis-Driven Hair Follicle Regression
Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.
research Exogen, Shedding Phase of the Hair Growth Cycle: Characterization of a Mouse Model
Researchers found that hair shedding happens mostly when new hair is growing and involves a unique process.
research Reproductive Seasonality and Maturation Throughout the Complete Life-Cycle in the Mouflon Ram (Ovis Musimon)
