November 2013 in “Elsevier eBooks” Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
September 2013 in “Experimental Dermatology” The document concluded that stem cells are crucial for skin repair, regeneration, and may help in developing advanced skin substitutes.
December 2012 in “Journal of dermatological science” Hair follicles help attract immune cells to minor skin injuries.
Injecting follicular cells into skin can lead to the formation of new hair follicles.
August 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Overexpression of a specific receptor in mice skin causes skin thinning, early skin barrier formation, eye issues, and hair loss.
January 2006 in “Elsevier eBooks” Most vertebrates can regenerate skin, nails, and corneas, but only some can regenerate teeth and lenses.
December 2003 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Glycerol may improve wound healing and prevent keloids, a device can measure itch intensity, male pattern baldness is highly heritable, and fumaric acid esters may work for psoriasis by causing cell death in T cells.
September 1998 in “Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” Autoimmune and inflammatory processes are involved in both scarring and non-scarring types of hair loss.
September 1997 in “Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” People with acne have more CD4+ immune cells in their skin than healthy people.
March 1997 in “The American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery” A new hair transplant method showed promising results and a study found how deep a CO₂ laser can penetrate skin.
June 1996 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” Vitamin D3 applied to mouse skin caused more wrinkles and sagging due to changes in the skin's outer layer.
August 1985 in “Proceedings ... annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America/Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America” Hair dye can damage dog hair and cause health issues.
April 1906 in “The American Journal of the Medical Sciences” Keratosis Pilaris Atrophicans causes skin scarring and might be treated with a new synthetic retinoid.
August 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” A new method using special materials can help regrow hair by creating small wounds.
September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Researchers developed a 3D skin model with its own immune and blood vessel cells to better understand skin health and disease.
September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The 3D-SeboSkin model effectively simulates Hidradenitis suppurativa and is useful for future research.
November 2014 in “Springer eBooks” Using a patient's own tissue for browlifting can improve both the position and fullness of the brow for a longer-lasting rejuvenation.
December 2012 in “Bulletin of Egyptian Society for Physiological Sciences” Copper (II) albumin complex improves healing of severe burns by its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pain relief properties.
December 2015 in “Dermatologic Surgery” Double trichophytic closure effectively repairs thin scalp scars, reducing financial burden.
September 2012 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Scientists successfully created fully functional hair follicles using bioengineering methods and stem cells.
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.
