Human hair follicles were grafted onto 2 strains of immunodeficient mice to compare the regeneration potential of vellus (miniaturized, balding) and terminal (hairy, nonbalding) follicles from males and a female exhibiting pattern baldness. Each mouse had transplants of both types of follicles from a single donor for direct comparison. Grafted follicles from 2 male donors resulted in nonsignificant differences in mean length (52 mm vs 54 mm) and mean diameter (99 microm vs 93 microm) at 22…

Study of the behaviour of lesional and nonlesional skin of canine recurrent flank alopecia transplanted to athymic nude mice.
TLDR
This study showed that hair follicles from dogs with cRFA quickly regenerated and regrew hair once grafted onto the mice, indicating that the pathogenesis of cR FA is likely to be mediated by systemic rather than local factors.
Recipient-site influence in hair transplantation: a confirmative study.
TLDR
It is suggested that the recipient site influences the growth characteristics of transplanted hairs such as growth rate and anagen period when transplanted scalp hairs were transplanted to different recipient sites such as the lower leg, neck, palm, hand dorsum, and eyebrow.
A guide to studying human hair follicle cycling in vivo
TLDR
This guide seeks to offer a benchmark for human hair cycle stage classification, for both hair research experts and newcomers to the field, which uses objective, well-defined, and reproducible criteria and integrates simple morphological indicators with advanced, (immuno)-histochemical markers.
Conflicting Reports Regarding the Histopathological Features of Androgenic Alopecia: Are Biopsy Location, Hair Diameter Diversity, and Relative Hair Follicle Miniaturization Partly to Blame?
TLDR
It is proposed that inconsistent findings across histological studies are a consequence of three inadequately controlled variables: biopsy location, hair diameter diversity (HDD), and relative hair follicle miniaturization (HFM) within and across subjects.
ALOPECIA : Exploring causes , psychological effects , with Western and Chinese Medicine approach
TLDR
The causes, diagnosis, psychological effects, and Western and Traditional Chinese therapies in both male and female androgenetic alopecia are focused on.

Conventional Suture Material versus Staplers in the Closure of Donor Area in Hair Transplant. Which is Better
TLDR
Prolene and staplers are both effective in the closure of donor area in follicular unit hair transplant, but sta plers can be convenient as far as closing donor area is concerned as it needs not much surgical skills and saves time in closing donorarea also.
Use of Botulinum Toxin for Androgenic Alopecia: A Systematic Review
In this systematic review, we summarize the efficacy and safety of intradermal and intramuscular botulinum toxin injections for androgenic alopecia (AGA). Using PubMed, we conducted a literature…
Inflammatory Alopecia: A Hidden Cause of an Announced Surgical Failure. The Importance of Koebner Phenomenon in Trichology
TLDR
This is a short commentary to stimulate the attention of specialists who, during their professional activity, have undoubtedly noticed the existence of patients with poor results or even worsening of their clinical situation after surgical treatment.

TLDR
Hair loss is related to follicular density, programmed regrowth and hair productivity, and it is important to understand the mechanisms behind hair loss and how to reverse it.

Hair growth in scalp grafts from patients with alopecia areata and alopecia universalis grafted onto nude mice.
TLDR
Grafting 2-mm grafts of scalp from affected areas of seven patients with AA or alopecia universalis onto congenitally athymic (nude) mice shows that hair growth ability in situ is likely normal in AA and AU, and that the factors causative to this disease in situ are mediated humorally.
New topical antiandrogenic formulations can stimulate hair growth in human bald scalp grafted onto mice.
Histologic and cell kinetic studies of hair loss and subsequent recovery process of human scalp hair follicles grafted onto severe combined immunodeficient mice.
TLDR
Findings suggest that the grafted hair follicles entered into dystrophic catagen, subsequently dyStrophic telogen, then returned to normal anagen follicles, and that stem cells or their close progeny in the secondary germ play an important part in the recovery process.
Possible mechanisms of miniaturization during androgenetic alopecia or pattern hair loss.

TLDR
Evidence is presented to support a new concept that miniaturization is an abrupt, large-step process that also can be reversed in 1 hair cycle, as has been shown clinically, with confirmatory histologic evidence, in patients with pattern hair loss responding to finasteride treatment.
A controlled study of the effects of RU58841, a non‐steroidal antiandrogen, on human hair production by balding scalp grafts maintained on testosterone‐conditioned nude mice
TLDR
Human hair growth can be monitored for several months after the transplantation of scalp samples from men with androgen‐dependent alopecia on to female nude mice to study the effect of a new non‐steroidal antiandrogen – RU 58841 – on human hair growth.
Effect of androgens on the growth of cultured human dermal papilla cells derived from beard and scalp hair follicles.
TLDR
The results do not mean that dermal papilla cells do not respond to androgens in vitro, but that the measurement of cell growth is an inappropriate method of assessment.
Cultured dermal papilla cells from androgen-dependent human hair follicles (e.g. beard) contain more androgen receptors than those from non-balding areas of scalp.
TLDR
Cells from androgen-sensitive follicles (beard, scrotum and pubis) contained higher levels of androgen receptors than those derived from relatively androgens-insensitive non-balding scalp follicles whether the receptor content was calculated in relation to cell number, protein or DNA content of the cells.

Geometric relationships between the matrix of the hair bulb and its dermal papilla in normal and alopecic scalp.
TLDR
The growth of hair appears to be intimately dependent upon the connective tissue papilla enveloped by the hair bulb, and it is observed that the matrix of the hair in mice does not differentiate, nor does proliferation of hair occur, if the cells of the papilla are destroyed with benzpyrene or methylcholan-threne.
