Different small areas within hair follicles send specific signals that control what type of cells stem cells become.

New therapies are being developed that target integrin pathways to treat various diseases.

Future hair cosmetics will be safer and more effective.

The vitamin D receptor can act without its usual activating molecule, affecting hair growth and skin cancer, but its full range of actions is not well understood.

The gel with icariin speeds up wound healing, reduces scarring, and helps hair growth by controlling BMP4 signaling. It also reduces inflammation and improves wound quality in mice, adapts to different wound shapes, and gradually releases icariin to aid healing. It also prevents too much collagen and myofibroblast formation during skin healing.

HSPGs help control stem cell behavior, affecting hair growth and offering a target for hair loss treatments.

Ptch2 plays a key role in controlling stem cell function and the ability to regenerate after birth.

The symposium highlighted the skin's role in sensing itch, pain, touch, and pleasure, and discussed new research and techniques for understanding and treating these sensations.

Mesenchymal stem cells show promise for effective skin repair and regeneration.

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.

GPRC5D is linked to the formation of hair, nails, and certain tongue areas.

A new gene, mrp4, is found in mice and may play a unique role in hair follicle development in tails and ears.

The HOXC13 gene affects different hair proteins in cashmere goats in varied ways and is controlled by a feedback loop and other factors.

The document explains how to identify different hair problems using a microscope.

Scientists discovered a unique hair protein, KAP24.1, with a special structure, found only in the upper part of hair cuticles.

Mutations in specific keratin genes cause improper hair structure in mice due to faulty keratin protein assembly.

The B2 genes are crucial for hair growth in rats.

Some vitamin D analogs can thicken skin and reduce pore size like a common acne treatment, with one analog also affecting skin growth factors.

SOX9 helps determine stem cell roles by interacting with DNA and proteins that control gene activity.

FP-1 is a key protein in rat hair growth, active only during the growth phase.

New and known mutations in the hairless gene cause a hair loss condition called Atrichia with papular lesions.

Increasing mir-302 turns human hair cells into stem cells by changing gene regulation and demethylation.

MicroRNAs are important for skin health and could be targets for new skin disorder treatments.

Wnt and Notch signaling help wound healing by promoting cell growth and regulating cell differentiation.

IL-1 family cytokines are crucial for skin defense and healing, but their imbalance can cause skin diseases.

Certain genetic variations in the FST gene are linked to better wool quality in Chinese Merino sheep.

New technologies show promise in healing wounds, treating cancer, autoimmune diseases, and genetic disorders.

Versican, a protein, is less present in thinning hair follicles and this decrease might contribute to common hair loss in men.

The document concludes that the skin's immune system is complex, involving interactions with hair follicles, nerves, and microbes, and can protect or cause disease, offering targets for new treatments.

Hair follicle stem cells use specific chromatin changes to control their growth and differentiation.
