20 Ιουλ 2020 · In response to the cold, the muscle (pink) in the hair follicle contracts, resulting in goosebumps. But in addition, the sympathetic nerve (green) releases neurotransmitters that target hair follicle stem cells (blue), causing them to activate and grow new hair.
Arachidonic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, has been shown to promote growth factor expression implicated in hair growth, such as fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-7 and FGF-10, in murine models . In addition, arachidonic acid supplementation prolonged the anagen phase and promoted hair shaft elongation.
11 Αυγ 2023 · A chemist explains how the structure of your hair follicles, your genetic code and environmental factors like humidity influence how hair behaves on a day-to-day basis.
