April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The research found that a specific skin cell type not only triggers hair growth but also controls hair color, and that aging can lead to hair loss and color changes.
July 2010 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Scientists found gene mutations that affect hair loss, skin stem cells, and skin disorders, and identified drugs that may help treat blood vessel and skin conditions.
June 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this regrowth doesn't come from existing hair cells but from skin cells in the wound, with Wnt7a protein helping this process. This could help treat baldness and scarring.
May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this process can be boosted by increasing Wnt7a, a protein. This could potentially help treat baldness and change our understanding of hair growth.
May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this regrowth doesn't come from existing hair cells but from skin cells in the wound, with Wnt7a protein helping this process.
