Fat-related cells are important for initiating hair growth.
research Skin Shedding and Tissue Regeneration in African Spiny Mice (Acomys)
African spiny mice can regenerate skin, hair, and cartilage, but not muscle, and their unique abilities could be useful for regenerative medicine.
research Molecular Dissection of Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions in the Hair Follicle
Understanding gene expression in hair follicles can reveal insights into hair growth and disorders.
research Defining the Impact of Beta-Catenin/Tcf Transactivation on Epithelial Stem Cells
β-catenin is essential for stem cell activation and proliferation in hair follicles.
research Stem Cells and the Niche: A Dynamic Duo
Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell behavior and tissue health, and their decline can impact aging and cancer.
research Stem Cell Dynamics, Migration, and Plasticity During Wound Healing
Stem cells help heal skin wounds by moving and changing roles, working with other cells, and needing more research on their activation and behavior.
research Dermal Papilla Cell Number Specifies Hair Size, Shape, and Cycling, and Its Reduction Causes Follicular Decline
More dermal papilla cells in hair follicles lead to larger, healthier hair, while fewer cells cause hair thinning and loss.
research Noggin Is Required for Induction of the Hair Follicle Growth Phase in Postnatal Skin
Noggin is necessary to start the hair growth phase in skin after birth.
research Dermal β-Catenin Activity in Response to Epidermal Wnt Ligands Is Required for Fibroblast Proliferation and Hair Follicle Initiation
Skin needs dermal β-catenin activity for hair growth and skin cell multiplication.
research The Role of Hair Follicles in the Percutaneous Absorption of Caffeine
Hair follicles significantly increase the speed and amount of caffeine absorbed through the skin.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia in Postmenopausal Women
Some postmenopausal women with frontal fibrosing alopecia stopped losing hair with finasteride treatment, hinting at a possible hormonal cause.
research Telocytes in Human Skin – Are They Involved in Skin Regeneration?
Telocytes might help with skin repair and regeneration.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
research Lichen Planus
Lichen planus is a skin condition that can resolve on its own, is linked to hepatitis C, and increases the risk of skin cancer.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: A Review
Male pattern baldness involves genetics, hormones, and needs better treatments.
research The Dermal Papilla: An Instructive Niche for Epithelial Stem and Progenitor Cells in Development and Regeneration of the Hair Follicle
The dermal papilla is crucial for hair growth and health, and understanding it could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Smad7-Induced Beta-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research Hairless Triggers Reactivation of Hair Growth by Promoting Wnt Signaling
The HR protein helps hair grow by blocking a hair growth inhibitor, aiding in hair follicle regeneration.
research Evaluation of Non-Activated and Activated PRP in Hair Loss Treatment: Role of Growth Factor and Cytokine Concentrations Obtained by Different Collection Systems
PRP treatment improves hair growth, and the device used can affect results, with some being more effective.

Mouse hair follicle cells briefly grow during the early hair growth phase, showing that these cells are important for starting the hair cycle.
research Structural Abnormalities of the Hair Shaft
The document concludes that understanding hair structure is key to diagnosing hair abnormalities and recommends gentle hair care for management.
research Psychological Effect, Pathophysiology, and Management of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
Minoxidil and finasteride can slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth, but won't restore all lost hair or reverse complete baldness.
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.
