This study reported that sensitive scalp symptoms, including trichodynia, are frequently found in hair loss patients, particularly among those with telogen effluvium and alopecia areata.

In this study, researchers identified a temperature-sensitive mutation in the FERONIA gene of plants that prevents root hair formation at elevated temperatures, highlighting its role in maintaining root hair growth and response to plant hormones.

This study found that human hair follicles express ATP-sensitive potassium channels, suggesting that minoxidil acts on these channels and that drugs targeting them may treat hair disorders.

This study established a novel in vivo "whisker follicle microinjection assay" using mouse whiskers to evaluate hair growth and pigmentation effects of various chemicals and proteins, identifying minoxidil, ruxolitinib, and RSPO1 as growth promoters, while deoxyarbutin inhibited pigmentation and Nbl1 emerged as a growth inhibitor.

In this study, the authors reported that NNC55-9216, a selective SUR1 KATP channel opener, stimulated hair follicle growth in culture and enhanced the effects of minoxidil, suggesting a new potential treatment for hair loss.
