research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
The conclusion is that certain cell interactions and signals are crucial for hair growth and regeneration.
research Towards a Molecular Understanding of Hair Loss and Its Treatment
Future hair loss treatments should aim to extend hair growth, reactivate resting follicles, reverse shrinkage, and possibly create new follicles, with gene therapy showing promise.
research Molecular Biology of Hair Morphogenesis: Development and Cycling
Understanding hair growth involves complex interactions between molecules and could help treat hair disorders.
