Human clinical studies
 Oliver (1966):
The first in a series of articles observing
regrowth of rat whisker follicles after surgically removing the
dermal papilla, indicating generative cells do not reside solely
at the base of the follicle.
Oliver (1966):
This paper shows histological data on rat
whisker regeneration.
Oliver (1966):
A paper discussing regeneration of rat whisker
bulbs.
Oliver (1967):
This report shows that even implanted lengths
of follicle wall can generate a full hair structure in rat whiskers.
Saitoh (1970): Detailed account of hair growth cycle in
3 Japanese men. A well-designed study, but a small sample size.
Cavanagh (1978):
Thallium salt was observed to inhibit follicle
generation in mice.
Headington (1984):
A discussion of transverse scalp section
anatomy and its uses.
Kvedar (1985): An overview of hirsutism.
Seago (1985): Studied hair growth cycle on the thigh and
arm of 11 females and 9 males.
Cotsarelis (1990):
Challenged the theory that only the hair
root needed to be destroyed by observing generative cells in a
bulge region halfway up the follicle.
Paus (1990): Mouse skin was observed to have a growth
inhibitor present in telogen phase.
Sun (1991): A discussion of transverse scalp section
lab processing.
Reynolds (1991):
An overview on hair follicle cells and their
ability to be transplantable.
Whiting (1993):
Horizontal scalp sections as a predictor
of male pattern baldness.
Winkler (1993):
Observes correlation between hormone levels
and body hair growth in Namibian men.
Reynolds (1994):
Discusses the highly flexible nature of
follicle cells, which can possibly develop into many types of
cells.
Tosi (1994): Discusses drug-induced hair growth.
Philpott (1994):
Outlines a method for in vitro hair follicle
growth study.
Itami (1995): Suggests that an insulin-like growth factor
is a candidate for androgen induced hair growth in cultured beard
growth cells.
Lavker (1995): An overview of theories regarding hair follicle
stem cells, the cells responsible for hair generation.
Kim (1995): Observed that human hair follicles can regenerate
even the root removed.
Frishberg (1996):
A discussion of transverse scalp section
lab processing.
Jahoda (1996):
Looks at various types of follicle cells
that have been observed to generate hair.
Jahoda (1996):
Following Oliver 1966, this reports on successful
transplant of upper human hair follicles into mice, which then
regenerated into full hair structures.
Dumesic (1997):
Estimates that glucose intolerance rate
is 1.7% abased on 652 women requesting electrolysis before age
50.
Reynolds (1999):
A report on trans-gender induction of follicles
