Glossary Secondary Hair Follicles

smaller hair-producing structures that develop alongside primary follicles

Secondary hair follicles are smaller hair-producing structures that develop alongside primary hair follicles, typically in mammals with dense fur or wool. They produce finer, shorter hairs that contribute to the overall thickness and insulation properties of the animal's coat. These follicles are crucial for maintaining the density and texture of the fur, especially in species adapted to cold environments.

Effect of Body Weight Gain During Cashmere Non-Growing Period on Cashmere Production Performance and Secondary Hair Follicle Activity of Cashmere Goats

research Effect of Body Weight Gain During Cashmere Non-Growing Period on Cashmere Production Performance and Secondary Hair Follicle Activity of Cashmere Goats

2 citations , September 2023

This study found that among Inner Mongolian cashmere goats, body weight gain during the non-growing period positively correlated with increases in cashmere yield, staple length, and secondary hair follicle activity, suggesting that nutritional interventions may enhance cashmere production.

research Effect of Fasted Live-Weight Gain during the Cashmere Non-Growing Period on Cashmere Production Performance and Secondary Hair Follicle Activity of Cashmere Goats

November 2023 in “Animals”

This study found that cashmere goats with greater fasted live-weight gain during the non-growing period had increased cashmere yield and staple length, likely due to higher secondary hair follicle activity.

Fibroblast Growth Factor 5-Short (FGF5s) Inhibits the Activity of FGF5 in Primary and Secondary Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells of Cashmere Goats

research Fibroblast growth factor 5-short (FGF5s) inhibits the activity of FGF5 in primary and secondary hair follicle dermal papilla cells of cashmere goats

42 citations , September 2015 in “Gene”

This study demonstrated that FGF5s acts as an inhibitor of FGF5 in regulating hair growth cycles in cashmere goat dermal papilla cells.

research The influence of biotin on viability, pyruvate carboxylase activity and the response to malate concentration in vitro by isolated secondary hair follicles of the Angora goat

January 1999 in “Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science”

This study explored the effects of biotin and malate supplementation on hair follicle viability and enzyme activity in cultured cells, but it reports no new results.

Effects of Photoperiod on Nutrient Digestibility, Hair Follicle Activity, and Cashmere Quality in Inner Mongolia White Cashmere Goats

research Effects of photoperiod on nutrient digestibility, hair follicle activity and cashmere quality in Inner Mongolia white cashmere goats

11 citations , August 2018 in “Asian-Australasian journal of animal sciences”

This study found that a short daily photoperiod increased crude protein digestibility, secondary hair follicle activity, and cashmere quality in Inner Mongolia white cashmere goats without harming fiber characteristics.

community PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells

7 months ago

PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.

community Can we get a reality check on PP405?

79 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 is a promising hair loss treatment that may outperform minoxidil and finasteride by reviving dormant follicles and promoting significant regrowth. Results from ongoing trials are awaited, with a potential market release between 2028-2030.

learn Hair Transplant

Can hair be taken from other parts of the body for hair transplantation? Body hair can be used for transplantation but is generally a secondary option.
What is a hair transplant? A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that relocates hair follicles to areas of thinning.
What are the risks and side effects of FUE hair transplants? Providers describe most FUE side effects, such as swelling, redness, numbness and shock loss, as temporary, but FUE is surgery and the same sources report pain, infection, folliculitis and small permanent donor-site scars. Longer-lasting problems, including visible donor-area thinning or poor graft growth, are possible and are not covered by this provider survey.
