88 citations
,
May 2024 in “Journal of Extracellular Vesicles” This scoping review found that while some small human pilot trials of extracellular vesicles as therapeutics showed promising outcomes, variability in study design and lack of placebo controls limit definitive conclusions about their safety and efficacy.
1 citations
,
May 2022 in “European Journal of Dermatology” This study found that while no predictive factors for response to vismodegib were identified, longer treatment duration was associated with a lower risk of relapse in basal cell carcinoma patients.

15 citations
,
January 2013 in “Dermatologic Surgery” This study observed that white hair follicles in vitiligo patients may repigment following epithelial grafting and phototherapy, suggesting potential cosmetic improvements in vitiligo treatment.
This pilot study employed in-vivo multiphoton microscopy to visualize pigment-producing melanocytes in vitiligo patients, aiming to enhance understanding of treatment impacts and potentially improve transplantation therapies.
February 2026 in “Biomaterials” BOOST is a promising, easy-to-use treatment for diabetic foot ulcers that improves healing by reducing inflammation and promoting blood vessel growth.
9 citations
,
July 2024 in “JAAD reviews.” This review discusses the role of extracellular vesicles in dermatology for therapeutic, diagnostic, and prognostic purposes, highlighting the lack of validated findings and the necessity for more rigorous clinical trials.
35 citations
,
October 2013 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” This study observed that VEGF165 increases proliferation and migration but alters adhesion properties of cultured human hair follicle cells, indicating a potential role for VEGF/VEGFR-2 in hair follicle regulation beyond angiogenesis.
252 citations
,
November 1995 in “The EMBO Journal” Blocking EGFR in mice causes hair loss and skin changes.
January 2007 in “The Year book of surgery” Mast cells and VEGF contribute to post-surgery adhesions, and blocking VEGF can reduce these adhesions; also, certain factors affect wound healing and fetal skin heals differently with age.
19 citations
,
January 2007 in “Journal of medical investigation” This study found that transplanting GFP transgenic tail skin onto wild-type mice leads to partial replacement of dermis, nerves, and blood vessels by recipient tissue after six months, while epidermis, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands persist from the graft.
December 2019 in “Reproduction Fertility and Development” This study found that mouse embryonic fibroblasts better supported the growth and maintenance of LGR5+ epidermal stem cells compared to porcine fetal fibroblasts, under various culture conditions.
January 2019 in “Springer eBooks” The abstract reports that non-cultured cellular grafting has become a prevalent and cost-effective method for treating stable vitiligo, with safety and effectiveness confirmed by two decades of studies. It critiques strict legislative oversight, suggesting it might unnecessarily increase costs and limit patient access.
February 2026 in “Bioengineering” This study indicates that while EV-based therapies are advancing towards clinical use in regenerative medicine, addressing methodological and regulatory hurdles is essential to fully harness their therapeutic potential.
April 2000 in “Chinese Journal of Dermatology” This study found that epidermal growth factor may stimulate the growth of hair follicle epithelium and potentially accelerate the transition from anagen to catagen phase in cultured human hair follicles.
August 1994 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” 1 citations
,
September 1986 in “Journal of the Forensic Science Society” This study found that hair root sheaths can be accurately typed for erythrocyte acid phosphatase, adenylate kinase, and adenosine deaminase, consistent with blood typing results from the same donors.
5 citations
,
June 2024 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” This study found that fractional Er:YAG laser combined with platelet-rich plasma resulted in greater skin repigmentation in patients with localized stable vitiligo compared to microneedling with platelet-rich plasma, with fewer side effects reported in the laser group.
125 citations
,
August 2003 in “Development” In this study, mice engineered to express human EGFR showed tissue-specific growth defects and neurodegeneration rescue, but developed severe heart issues and accelerated bone cell differentiation.
This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.
3 citations
,
March 2023 in “Cell Biology International” In this study, ASC-enriched autologous fat grafting was found to be more effective and satisfying than conventional fat grafting for treating facial contour deformities with hyperpigmentation.
Hair properties change under electromagnetic fields and are influenced by individual characteristics and the environment.
