Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.

Fat-derived stem cells show promise for skin repair and reducing aging signs but need more research for consistent results.

TGF-β signaling is crucial for stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and has implications for cancer treatment.

Electrolysis is effective for permanent hair removal, but technique is key to avoid scarring, and sometimes hormonal treatment is needed for women with hirsutism.

Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.

Human hair follicle organ culture is a useful model for hair research with potential for studying hair biology and testing treatments.

Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.

Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.

The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.

Mice hair growth patterns get more complex with age and can change with events like pregnancy or injury.

Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.

Janus kinase inhibitors are promising treatments for autoimmune skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis.

Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.

Dexamethasone speeds up hair loss in mice, while cyclosporin A slows it down.

Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.

The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.

The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.

The hydrogel with a 1:3 ratio of hydroxyethyl cellulose to hyaluronic acid is effective for delivering drugs through the skin to treat acne.

Androgens have complex effects on hair growth, promoting it in some areas but causing hair loss in others, and our understanding of this is still evolving.

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

Ruby laser pulses best destroy hair follicles during the growth phase and effectiveness varies with laser intensity; melanin is key for targeting, and timing treatments can improve results.

Liposomes could improve how skin care products work but are costly and not very stable.

Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.

Stress increases a factor in mice that leads to hair loss, and blocking this factor may prevent it.

Skin-derived precursors in hair follicles come from different origins but function similarly.

Survivors of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis need ongoing care for various long-term health problems.

Chemotherapy often causes temporary hair loss, which is distressing and needs better treatment and support.

MicroRNA-214 is important for skin and hair growth because it affects the Wnt pathway.

New treatments for Alopecia Areata show promise but need to be more effective and affordable.

Scientists created stem cells that can grow hair and skin.
