89 citations,
March 2018 in “The Journal of Dermatology” Trichoscopy helps diagnose and monitor alopecia areata by looking at a combination of specific hair and scalp features.
5 citations,
July 2018 in “Experimental Dermatology” The "Punch Assay" can regenerate hair follicles efficiently in mice and has potential for human hair regeneration.
86 citations,
May 2008 in “Cytokine & growth factor reviews” TNF family proteins are crucial for the development of skin features like hair, teeth, and mammary glands.
42 citations,
October 2012 in “Dermatologic Clinics” Trichoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing different hair and scalp diseases without surgery.
19 citations,

46 citations,
March 2015 in “Regeneration” Mice can grow new hair follicles after skin wounds through a process not involving existing hair stem cells, but requiring more research to understand fully.
