Skin stem cells in hair follicles are important for touch sensation.
Hair follicle stem cells are crucial for touch sensation and proper nerve structure in mice.
January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” 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.

December 2024 in “Medical Review” Organoid technology, using 3D structures derived from stem cells, has advanced the study of genetic diseases by replicating human organ complexity and allowing for patient-specific genetic editing. This review highlights their application in modeling genetic disorders across various organs, aiding in personalized medicine and drug discovery. Organoids are particularly useful in diagnosing and treating conditions like cystic fibrosis and Mucin 1 kidney disease, and they facilitate personalized therapy testing, including CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. Organoid transplantation shows promise in regenerative therapies, especially for retinal diseases. Despite challenges like vascularization and cost, organoids offer a promising platform for understanding disease mechanisms and developing targeted therapies, with ethical considerations and in vivo validation remaining crucial.
