Understanding the biology of hair growth is fundamental to diagnosing and treating hair-related disorders. This book explores the hair growth cycle, follicular anatomy, signaling pathways, and the influence of hormones, nutrition, and external factors. It highlights genetic control mechanisms, hair pigmentation, and structural variations. Clinical correlations explain how biological dysfunction leads to various types of hair loss. The book integrates basic science with practical insights, helping clinicians and researchers apply biological knowledge to therapeutic development and individualized treatment strategies.
Vivienne Mason has a rich background in molecular hair biology and cellular signaling pathways related to hair growth. Her work frequently examines keratinocyte activity, growth factors, and cycle regulation. Mason contributes to editorial projects that link laboratory findings with clinical applications. Her research is influential in both cosmetic and therapeutic contexts. She engages in public science communication to raise awareness about hair physiology. Her lab continues to investigate gene expression related to follicle activation and dormancy.
