Hydrogel composites have great potential in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and drug delivery.

A new method using a microfluidic device can prepare hair follicle germs efficiently for potential use in hair loss treatments.

New regenerative medicine-based therapies for hair loss look promising but need more clinical validation.

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.

The TAP flap is effective for treating armpit scars from burns, and tissue-engineered templates with hair follicles can help treat scalp burn alopecia.

IL-17C is important in inflammatory skin diseases and could be a target for treatment.

Different scalp reconstruction methods work well, but the best one depends on the patient's unique needs.

Skin grafting is a key procedure for repairing skin defects, with the success depending on the right graft choice, donor site management, and aftercare.

High amphiregulin in the skin is a bad sign for acute graft-versus-host disease.

The traditional method of estimating skin graft success by looking is generally reliable but less so for inexperienced observers and in certain wound conditions.

The document concludes that rib-sparing techniques in breast reconstruction have limited benefits, sentinel lymph node biopsy is needed for desmoplastic melanoma, certain hair preservation methods improve graft survival, partial turbinectomy effectively reduces nasal obstruction, nipple shields with irrigation may reduce capsular contracture, and thicker malignant melanomas have a higher risk of non-skin cancers.

Some children who had stem cell transplants developed permanent hair loss, especially when treated with a drug called busulphan.

Hair restoration surgery redistributes existing hair to achieve a natural look, with visible regrowth in 3-4 months and rare complications, mostly aesthetic.
