2011 dermatology discussions highlighted stem cell hair treatments, new lichen planopilaris therapies, skin side effects from cancer drugs, emerging allergens, and the link between food allergies and skin issues.
research Hair and Nails: Insights from 2009 Studies
Low-dose acitretin helps nail psoriasis, stem cells may treat scarring alopecia, Chinese men have lower baldness rates, lateral foldplasty is good for ingrown toenails, hair diameter helps diagnose female baldness, childhood trauma linked to alopecia areata, certain hair-weaving leads to scalp conditions in African American women, and new methods for hair research and understanding hair and sweat gland development were introduced.
research APCDD1 Is a Novel Wnt Inhibitor Mutated in Hereditary Hypotrichosis Simplex
A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.
research Smad7-Induced Beta-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research Compartmentalized Epidermal Activation of β-Catenin Differentially Affects Lineage Reprogramming and Underlies Tumor Heterogeneity
Activating β-catenin in different skin stem cells causes various types of hair growth and skin tumors.

Prolactin may play a significant role in skin and hair health and could be a target for treating skin and hair disorders.
research Apoptotic Cells Represent a Dynamic Stem Cell Niche Governing Proliferation and Tissue Regeneration
Dying cells can help with faster healing and new hair growth by releasing a growth-promoting molecule.
research Dynamic Expression of Ornithine Decarboxylase in Hair Growth
Ornithine decarboxylase is crucial for hair growth and follicle development.
research Telomere Dynamics and Telomerase in the Biology of Hair Follicles and Their Stem Cells as a Model for Aging Research
Hair follicle studies suggest that maintaining telomere length could help treat hair loss and graying, but it's uncertain if mouse results apply to humans.
research SOX2 in the Skin: Roles in Biology and Pathology
SOX2 is crucial for skin cell function and hair growth, and it plays a role in skin cancer and wound healing.
research Scratching the Surface of Skin Development
The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
research Alopecia Areata: An Autoimmune Disease Causing Hair Loss
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss with no cure and treatments that often don't work well.
research The Circadian Clock in Skin
The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.
research Adipocytes in Skin Health and Disease
Fat cells are important for healthy skin, hair growth, and healing, and changes in these cells can affect skin conditions and aging.
research Hairless and Wnt Signaling: Allies in Epithelial Stem Cell Differentiation
The HR protein's role as a repressor is essential for controlling hair growth.
