October 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Scarred skin in lichen planopilaris loses immune cells due to a decrease in a specific protein in skin cells.
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Activin increases skin tumor formation, skin Tregs help hair growth, lymph-node removal doesn't improve melanoma survival, cells can revert to stem cells in wound healing, and skin bacteria produce peptides that may treat infections.
May 2017 in “Journal of dermatological science” Researchers created a cell model to study hair growth and test hair-growth drugs.
November 2014 in “Journal of Cell Biology” Valentina Greco's research shows that the environment around hair follicle stem cells is more crucial for regeneration than the stem cells themselves.
April 2014 in “Journal of evolution of medical and dental sciences” Women over forty can maintain skin and hair health with lifestyle and dietary changes.
March 2014 in “Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia” Hair follicles are a key source of stem cells for skin repair and could help treat baldness.
November 2011 in “APMIS. Acta pathologica, microbiologica et immunologica Scandinavica./APMIS” Polyomavirus A2 infection in newborn mice caused hair follicle tumors.
Proper medical treatments can control and even reverse female pattern hair loss, but it's important to check for related conditions like excessive male hormone production, especially in severe cases.
January 2011 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Bald men with male pattern baldness still have hair stem cells, but lack certain cells needed to grow hair.

August 2011 in “Biomacromolecules” Chitosan nanofiber scaffolds improve skin healing and are promising for wound treatment.
130 citations,
October 2006 in “Allergy” Allergic reactions to blood thinners are rare but can be serious, requiring careful testing and alternative treatments.
129 citations,
May 2015 in “Cell Stem Cell” Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
32 citations,
January 1997 in “Dermatology” Telogen effluvium is a hair loss condition with acute cases resolving quickly and chronic cases potentially lasting longer, sometimes requiring treatment.
30 citations,
January 2018 in “Clinics in Dermatology” Men with common hair loss may have a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes, and should be checked for these conditions.
28 citations,
September 2008 in “Current Pharmaceutical Design” Allergic reactions to blood thinners are rare but can be serious, requiring careful management and alternative treatments.
