January 1991 in “Toxicology in Vitro” This study reports that hair follicle cultures are effective for gap junctional intercellular communication studies and can be used to assess the tumor-promoting activity of certain environmental chemicals.
This study examined the molecular communication in psoriasis cells, highlighting unique immune cell interactions and identifying new features of the hair follicle cell-psoriasis axis. It suggests the potential for targeted therapies at the single-cell level to improve psoriasis treatment.
October 2025 in “Indian Journal of Dermatology” This study explored recent advancements in hair restoration, particularly focusing on plant-derived exosomes and biomimetic polypeptides, which enhance hair follicle regeneration and growth, offering a promising alternative to human or animal-derived exosomes subject to FDA restrictions.
