Zebrafish can regenerate sensory hair cells that humans permanently lose, like those in the inner ear linked to hearing and balance. New research reveals two specific genes that control how different ...

While humans can regularly replace certain cells, like those in our blood and gut, we cannot naturally regrow most other parts of the body. For example, when the tiny sensory hair cells in our inner ...

National Taiwan University researchers, with collaborators in Taiwan and the US, report that adipocyte lipolysis activates epithelial hair follicle stem cells and drives hair regeneration via ...

Thinning hair has always been a symptom of aging, but experts say men seem to be losing their hair earlier than previous generations. Modern lifestyles may quicken hair loss due to increased stress, ...

Scientists identify specific genes involved in zebrafish sensory hair cell regrowth, providing new insights that could inform future research into hearing loss treatments. While humans can regularly ...

The researchers used mouse skin samples to monitor changes to the fat tissue under the skin, as well as to the hair follicles and the cells that help hair grow, after they caused small injuries to ...
