    TLDR The conference highlighted new diagnostic tools, the role of genetics in hair loss, and emerging treatments.
    In 2011, the 15th Annual Meeting of the European Hair Research Society in Jerusalem, Israel, was attended by 485 participants from 32 countries. The conference addressed topics such as Androgenetic Alopecia, genotrichoses, cicatricial alopecia, stem cells, Alopecia Areata, and hair removal and restoration techniques. Notable advancements included the diagnostic use of trichoscopy, understanding the role of androgens and genetics in AGA, and the immune-privilege collapse in AA. New treatments for AGA, like bimatoprost and the in vitro production of human microfollicles, were discussed. Cicatricial alopecia was further classified, and the significance of hair follicle stem cells was examined. The meeting also honored significant contributions to hair research and announced future meetings. The event was praised for its high-quality content and networking opportunities, with anticipation for the next meeting in Barcelona in 2012.
