July 2014 in “Experimental Dermatology” Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.

May 2017 in “InTech eBooks” Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
301 citations,
February 2019 in “Nature Communications” The research found that different types of fibroblasts are involved in wound healing and that some blood cells can turn into fat cells during this process.

June 1997 in “Australasian Journal of Dermatology” Researchers found new hair and nail genes, how hair reacts to UV, differences in white and pigmented hair growth, nerve changes in alopecia, treatments for baldness and alopecia, a toenail condition linked to a genetic disorder, and that nail fungus is more common in people with psoriasis.
November 2023 in “Advanced functional materials” Magnesium Silicate Sprays help heal burn wounds and regrow skin features better than commercial products.
November 2023 in “Regenerative Biomaterials” The new adhesive seals wounds quickly, works well in wet conditions, and helps with healing.
December 2024 in “Cell Communication and Signaling” Fat tissue vesicles protect skin from UV damage better than stem cell vesicles.
