research Environment of the Anagen Follicle
The document concludes that hair follicles have a complex environment and our understanding of it is growing, but there are limitations when applying animal study findings to humans.
research Inducible, Reversible Hair Loss in Transgenic Mice
Scientists made a mouse that can be made to lose hair and then grow it back.
research Stabilization of Epithelial Beta-Catenin Compromises Mammary Cell Fate Acquisition and Branching Morphogenesis
Too much β-catenin activity can mess up the development of mammary glands and make them more like hair follicles.
research Ancient Lineages of the Keratin-Associated Protein (KRTAP) Genes and Their Co-Option in the Evolution of the Hair Follicle
Some hair protein genes evolved early and were adapted for use in hair follicles.
research Regeneration of a New Hair Follicle from the Upper Half of a Human Hair Follicle in a Nude Mouse
The upper half of a human hair follicle can grow a new hair in a mouse, but success is rare.
research Introducing Gap in Hair Follicle Electromagnetism as Mechanism for the Presence of Bipolar Electrical Charges Inherent in the Human Hair Shaft
Human hair has bipolar electrical charges because of a gap in the hair follicle's electromagnetic field.
research Unlocking the Potential of the Secretome in Hair Growth Enhancement
Secretome-based therapies could improve hair growth better than current treatments.
research Androgens and Human Hair Growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research Suppression of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling by EGF Receptor Is Required for Hair Follicle Development
Blocking Wnt/β-catenin signaling with EGF receptor is necessary for proper hair growth.
research The Importance of Basonuclin 2 in Adult Mice and Its Relation to Basonuclin 1
Basonuclin 2 is vital for the development of facial bones, hair follicles, and male germ cells in adult mice, and its absence can lead to dwarfism and abnormal follicles.
research 5-Bromo-3,4-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde Promotes Hair Growth Through Activation of Wnt/β-Catenin and Autophagy Pathways and Inhibition of TGF-β Pathways in Dermal Papilla Cells
5-Bromo-3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde could potentially help hair growth by activating certain cell pathways and inhibiting others.
research Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Low Transferrin Saturation Levels, and Male-Pattern Baldness
Men with sleep apnea and low iron levels are more likely to have male-pattern baldness, especially if they have a family history of hair loss.
research Hair Growth Regulation by Fibroblast Growth Factor 12 (FGF12)
FGF12 is important for hair growth and could be targeted for hair loss treatment.
research Disturbance of Immune Microenvironment in Androgenetic Alopecia Through Spatial Transcriptomics
Androgenetic alopecia involves immune cell disruptions, especially increased CD4+ T cells around hair follicles.
research Melatonin Promotes Hair Regeneration by Modulating the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway
Melatonin helps hair grow by activating a specific signaling pathway.
research Deletion of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Prolyl 4-Hydroxylase 2 in FoxD1-Lineage Mesenchymal Cells Leads to Congenital Truncal Alopecia
Removing a specific gene in certain skin cells causes hair loss on the body by disrupting normal hair development.
research Identification of Dkk4 as a Target of Eda-A1/Edar Pathway Reveals an Unexpected Role of Ectodysplasin as Inhibitor of Wnt Signaling in Ectodermal Placodes
Ectodysplasin inhibits Wnt signaling to help form hair follicles.
research Genetically Null Mice Reveal a Central Role for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor in the Differentiation of the Hair Follicle and Normal Hair Development
EGFR is essential for normal hair development and follicle differentiation.
research Hair Follicular Expression and Function of Group X Secreted Phospholipase A2 in Mouse Skin
sPLA2-X is crucial for normal hair growth and follicle health.
research Motoneuron-Specific PTEN Deletion in Mice Induces Neuronal Hypertrophy and Regeneration After Facial Nerve Injury
Deleting the PTEN gene in mice causes nerve cells to grow larger and heal better after injury, but may cause overgrowth and hair loss in older mice.
research Stem Cells and Their Niches
The document concludes that stem cells and their environments are crucial for skin and hair health and have potential for medical treatments.
research Hairless: A Nuclear Receptor Corepressor Essential for Skin Function
The Hairless gene is crucial for healthy skin and hair growth.

A dog with complete hair loss regrew most hair after treatment, with no relapse after stopping treatment.
research Hirsuties
Hirsutism in women is often due to hormone sensitivity and has significant psychological effects.
research Notes from the Editor Emeritus: Cell Therapy and Hair Transplant Limitations
Early attempts at using cloned cells for hair transplants failed, but 3D cell growth showed some promise.
research Maternal Nutrition at Conception Modulates DNA Methylation of Human Metastable Epialleles
