October 2003 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” Mice treatments didn't grow hair, a patient treatment may affect immune response, and people with hair loss often feel anxious or depressed.
July 2003 in “British Journal of Dermatology” Some skin conditions are associated with other serious diseases, and office microscopy may miss many fungal infections.
Dermal stem cells help regenerate hair follicles and heal skin wounds.
Integrin alphavbeta6 is important for wound healing and hair growth, and blocking it may improve these processes.
Activin A and follistatin control when ear hair cells form in mice.
Activin A promotes ear hair cell development, while follistatin delays it.
