The PDGF/PDGFR pathway is a potential drug target with mixed success in treating various diseases, including some cancers and fibrosis.

Certain mutations in a hair growth-related gene cause a type of genetic hair loss.

Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.

Alopecia areata involves immune activation in the scalp, suggesting treatments targeting TH1, TH2, and IL-23 pathways.

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) help control skin health, hair growth, and color, and could potentially be used to treat skin and hair disorders.

Oestrogens are key for bone growth during puberty in both boys and girls.

Pectin biosynthesis is essential for the growth of cotton fibers and Arabidopsis root hairs.

CDP is crucial for lung and hair follicle cell development.

Certain inhibitors slow down plant growth by causing early cell specialization without changing the cell development pattern.

Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease causing patchy hair loss, often with other autoimmune disorders, but its exact causes are unknown.

Researchers developed promising agents for prostate cancer imaging, with the best one showing high potential for clinical use.

Keratinocytes help heal skin wounds by interacting with immune cells and producing substances that kill pathogens.

Cancer cells often have more copies of TERT and TERC genes, which helps them grow and could affect patient outcomes.

Targeting the IL-23/IL-17 pathway effectively treats several inflammatory skin diseases.

Alopecia areata is a common autoimmune disease affecting about 2% of people, causing significant disability and often associated with mental health issues and other autoimmune conditions.

K_ATP channel gene mutations are linked to heart diseases, but more research is needed to understand the connection and treatment potential.

Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.

RNAi-based biopesticides could be safe and effective for pest control with careful development and risk assessment.

Vitamin D is important for skin health and may affect conditions like psoriasis and hair loss, but more research is needed to understand its role fully.

K6hf is a unique protein found only in a specific layer of hair follicles.

Matriptase is crucial for keeping epithelial tissues healthy and functioning properly.

The HR protein helps hair grow by blocking a hair growth inhibitor, aiding in hair follicle regeneration.

Antibiotics can reduce acne but may lead to resistant bacteria, and understanding the skin's bacteria is important for treatment.

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

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

Inflammation may be linked to hair loss, and targeting specific enzymes could help treat it.

The conclusion is that Treg-targeted therapies have potential, but more knowledge of Treg biology is needed for effective treatments, including for cancer.

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.
