MicroRNAs play a crucial role in skin and hair health, affecting everything from growth to aging, and could potentially be used in treating skin diseases.

Acne is a temporary skin imbalance during puberty that often resolves on its own.

Skin cancer often starts from Lgr5+ progenitor cells.

The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.

The project created a standardized system for classifying skin lesions in lab rats and mice.

Odontogenic keratocysts are caused by abnormal Hedgehog signaling and can lead to tooth and bone issues.

GRK2 is essential for healthy hair follicle function, and its absence can lead to hair loss and cysts.

UV exposure reduces Lgr6+ stem cells in mouse skin and they don't significantly contribute to skin cancer development.

A new keratin, hK6irs1, is found in all layers of the hair follicle's inner root sheath.

The document discusses male and female pattern hair loss, its diagnosis methods, FDA-approved treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, their side effects, and the role of lifestyle changes.

5α-reductase inhibitors help treat disorders caused by DHT and have potential for future therapies.

Human hair grows better in a special gel that mimics skin.

Skin-derived stem cells grow faster and are easier to obtain than hair follicle stem cells, but both can become various cell types.

Claudin-1 is important for the barrier function and growth of hair.

Sebum production varies by individual and is influenced by age, gender, and hormones, affecting skin and hair health.

Scalp melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, is often found late due to its hard-to-see location, especially in older men. Early detection, possible treatments, and the role of hairdressers in spotting it early are discussed. More research is needed to improve detection and treatment.

Different types of cell death affect skin health and inflammation, and understanding them could improve treatments for skin diseases.

Xeno-free three-dimensional stem cell masses are safe and effective for improving blood flow and tissue repair in limb ischemia.

Biopsy can differentiate between alopecia areata and androgenic alopecia, and if more information is needed, testing for CD3 and CD8 can help.

PAI-2 helps in the maturation and protection of hair and nail cells.

Stem cells, especially from fat tissue and Wharton's jelly, can potentially regenerate hair follicles and treat hair loss, but more research is needed to perfect the treatment.

Hard skin features like scales, feathers, and hair evolved through specific protein changes in different animal groups.

Microspheres about 1.5 micrometers in size can best penetrate hair follicles, potentially reaching important stem cells.

6.1% of patients seeking PRP for hair loss had undiagnosed cicatricial alopecia, which PRP cannot treat.

Correct skin biopsy techniques are crucial to avoid misdiagnosis of skin diseases.

Lichen planopilaris is a chronic, scarring hair loss condition with no definitive cure, requiring accurate diagnosis and treatment to manage symptoms.

Special and immunohistochemical stains are not routinely needed for diagnosing hair disorders.

The conclusion is that tissue structure is key for stem cell communication and maintaining healthy tissues.
