April 2018 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Biotrinine® may be an effective treatment for chronic hair loss.
129 citations,
May 2015 in “Cell Stem Cell” 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.
Alopecia areata patients have higher levels of certain immune receptors, suggesting new treatment possibilities.
