Highlights from the 68th Annual Meeting of the Society of Investigative Dermatology

This article reviews a variety of research presentations from the Society for Investigative Dermatology's annual meeting, highlighting advances in dermatological research without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that laboratory and African spiny mice have distinct spatiotemporal patterns in wound-induced hair neogenesis, with the Twist1 pathway playing a central role in epidermal-dermal interactions for hair primordia formation.

This study found that activating Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in hair follicles is sufficient to induce adipocyte generation in the dermis, affecting both hair follicle stem cell activation and adipocyte differentiation.

This symposium abstract reports no new experimental results and discusses the pathophysiology of hair growth as presented at an event organized by the Institute of Dermatology.

This review discusses the latest findings presented at the 4th Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies, covering advances in hair follicle biology, genetic bases for hair disorders, and potential new therapeutic approaches, but it reports no original study results.
