Human hair keratin might be good for filtering out harmful substances from water.

New research has found 14 genes linked to the risk of developing alopecia areata, improving understanding and treatment options.

Certain transcription factors are key in controlling skin stem cell behavior and could impact future treatments for skin repair and hair loss.

FKBP10 and FBN2 are key proteins for hair growth in cashmere goats.

The gene Foxn1 is important for hair growth, and understanding it may lead to new alopecia treatments.

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease affecting hair follicles, influenced by genetic and environmental factors, with rodent models being essential for research.

Plet-1 protein helps hair follicle cells move and stick to tissues.

KLF4 is important for maintaining stem cells and has potential in cancer treatment and wound healing.

Blocking IL-17 can reduce skin inflammation in a mouse model of pityriasis rubra pilaris.

Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing skin, with potential for treating skin disorders and improving wound healing.

Epithelial stem cells are crucial for tissue renewal and repair, and understanding them could improve treatments for damage and cancer.

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, influenced by genetics, environment, and possibly improved by anti-MIF therapy, with many patients experiencing regrowth within a year.

Thyroid hormone affects skin health, with too little causing rough, pale skin and too much leading to smooth, thin skin, and may also impact wound healing and skin conditions.

The protein p53 directly reduces the production of Keratin 17, a skin and hair protein, in rats with radiation dermatitis.

Hypothyroidism harms rat skin, but topical triiodothyronine may help improve it.

The system allows precise control of gene expression in mouse skin, useful for studying skin biology.

Human nails and hair follicles have similar gene activity, especially in the cells that contribute to their growth and development.

Fat under the skin releases HGF which helps hair grow and gain color.

Overexpressing Tβ4 in cashmere goats improves hair fiber traits and increases cashmere yield.

Skin bacteria, specifically Streptococcus and Staphylococcus, help in hair regrowth after skin injury and speed up wound healing.

Frizzled 3 and Frizzled 6 together control the orientation of mouse hair follicles.

Different fields of expertise must work together to better understand hair growth and create effective hair loss treatments.

Hair loss from Alopecia Areata is caused by both genes and environment, with several treatments available but challenges in cost and relapse remain.

Human hair proteins vary by individual, body site, and ethnicity, useful for forensics.

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 genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.

Runx3 helps determine hair shape.

Genetic research has advanced our understanding of skin diseases, but complex conditions require an integrative approach for deeper insight.

Hair graying may be caused by stem cell depletion from stress or melanocyte damage.

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a skin disease caused by the breakdown of the skin's natural immune barriers, especially around hair follicles.
