research Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Ectodermal Precursor Cells Contribute to Hair Follicle Morphogenesis In Vivo
Human stem cells can help form hair follicles in mice.
research Sox21 Regulates Anapc10 Expression and Determines the Fate of Ectodermal Organs
Sox21 is crucial for tooth development and enamel formation by preventing cells from changing into a different type.
research Hedgehog Pathway Inhibitors Against Tumor Microenvironment
Hedgehog pathway inhibitors can treat certain aggressive cancers but face limitations like resistance and side effects.
research Regulation and Role of GLI1 in Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Pathogenesis
GLI1 might protect against the start of skin cancer and is not linked to cancer severity.
research Roles of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway in Cutaneous Physiology and Oncology
The Hedgehog Signaling Pathway is important for skin and hair development and skin cancer treatment, but more research is needed to understand it fully.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research Investigational Medications in the Treatment of Alopecia
New treatments for hair loss are being developed using molecular biology.
