The cyclical phases of growth (anagen), regression (catagen), quiescence (telogen), and shedding (exogen) in the life of a hair; one of the collection or mass of filaments growing from the skin of an animal, and forming a covering for a part of the head or for any part or the whole of the body. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of anagen, the growth phase of the hair cycle. The growth phase of the hair cycle. Lasts, for example, about 3 to 6 years for human scalp hair. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of anagen, the growth phase of the hair cycle. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of anagen, the growth phase of the hair cycle. A multicellular organismal process involved in the periodic casting off and regeneration of an outer covering of cuticle, feathers, hair, horns, skin. A multicellular organismal process involved in the cyclical phases of growth (anagen), regression (catagen), quiescence (telogen), and shedding (exogen) in the life of a hair; one of the collection or mass of filaments growing from the skin of an animal, and forming a covering for a part of the head or for any part or the whole of the body. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell, where the increase in size or mass has the specific outcome of the progression of the organism over time from one condition to another. A developmental process, independent of morphogenetic (shape) change, that is required for an anatomical structure to attain its fully functional state. A developmental process, independent of morphogenetic (shape) change, that is required for a hair follicle to attain its fully functional state. The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the hair follicle over time, from its formation to the mature structure. A hair follicle is a tube-like opening in the epidermis where the hair shaft develops and into which the sebaceous glands open.
