Review - hair biology - study shows hair stem cells might repair nerve damage (Nov. 2005). Stem cells from hair follicles can do many things apparently. This study suggests hair follicle cells can be used to regenerate damaged nerve fibers.
Review - hair biology - bioengineering the hair follicle (Oct. 2005). A review of the current status with hair follicle bioengineering (hair cloning).
News - hair biology - hairless mice get new coats (26 Sept. 2005). Study shows that hair growth is promoted by genetically inducing the production of a protein called "hairless" in mice.
News - hair biology - red hair and cancer linked (29 Aug. 2005). Having red hair may make you more susceptible to skin cancer.
News - hair biology - hairy good news about hair cloning (12 Aug. 2005). Intercytex raise money for hair cloning research.
Review - hair biology - vanilloid receptor signaling and capsaicin inhibitory effects (Apr. 2005). Contained in the human hair follicle is something known as the Vanilloid receptor-1 or "TRPV". Scientists have recently discovered that this Vanillioid receptor-1 is very significant for hair growth.
News - hair biology - just a hair away from stem cell therapy (28 Mar. 2005). Hair follicles may contain stem cells that can form brain tissue.
Review - hair biology - follicular cells in wound healing (Jul. 2004). When the skin is wounded, hair follicles can play a key role in wound repair.
Review - hair biology - macrophage stimulating protein promotes hair growth (Jul. 2004). Macrophage stimulating protein does more than activate macrophage cells. This study reveals hair follicles produce the protein and that it induces hair growth.
Review - hair biology - tooth derived cells induce hair follicle growth (Dec. 2004). Hair follicles and teeth have many similarities. so much so that tooth cells can promote hair follicles to grow.
Review - hair biology - hair follicle bulge stem cells (Apr. 2004). Hair follicle bulge stem cells can be employed in hair follicle bioengineering.
News - hair biology - growth factor protein promotes thicker hair (15 Feb. 2001). Vascular endothelial growth factor promotes hair growth.

News - hair biology - hair implanting could end pain of skin grafts (3 May 2000). Hair follicles are a key source of wound healing cells.
News - hair biology - scientists make new hair follicles in humans without using drugs (4 Nov. 1999). Transplantation of tissue from the hair follicle of one person successfully promoted hair growth when implanted into a different person.
News - hair biology - sonic hedgehog gene promotes hair growth in resting hair follicles (6 Oct. 1999). A naturally produced protein called sonic hedgehog promotes hair growth.
News - hair biology - recently discovered messenger molecule promotes development of hair follicles (12 Jul. 1999). Beta-catenin is a key hair growth promoting protein.
News - hair biology - gene therapy for baldness? (11 Jun. 1999). Study shows new genes could be introduced into hair follicles using gene therapy techniques.
News - hair biology - the “nude” gene discovery in humans (8 Apr. 1999). The first hair loss and hair growth regulating gene discovered in humans.
