Alopecia Areata causes significant structural and compositional changes in hair.

Sostdc1 controls the size and number of hair and mammary gland structures.

Hair loss, known as Androgenetic Alopecia, is often caused by hormones and can be diagnosed using noninvasive techniques. Treatments include topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, with new treatments being explored. There may also be a link between this type of hair loss and heart disease risk.

Vitamin D receptor is crucial for skin wound healing.

Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.

The skin has a complex immune system that is essential for protection and healing, requiring more research for better wound treatment.

K6hf is a unique protein found only in a specific layer of hair follicles.

Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.

Tissue stiffness affects hair follicle regeneration, and Twist1 is a key regulator.

A specific protein in chicken embryos links early skin layers to feather development.

Chronic scalp pain in trichodynia involves both body-wide and localized increased pain sensitivity.

Targeting the actin cytoskeleton could improve skin healing and reduce scarring.

Hair can't be reliably repaired once damaged; prevention and proper product use are key to maintaining hair health.

PlacMA hydrogels from human placenta are versatile and useful for cell culture and tissue engineering.

The congress showed that psychological therapy can help skin condition patients, social media affects acne stigma, education improves atopic dermatitis, and patient satisfaction in dermatology is high, especially with good doctor engagement.

Tongue cancer cells show more plectin-1 than non-cancer cells, but both have similar levels of trichohyalin.

Different hair follicles in the skin are innervated by unique combinations of mechanosensory neurons, crucial for touch sensation.

Nanofiber scaffolds help wounds heal by delivering drugs directly to the injury site.

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.

Researchers isolated and identified structural components of human hair follicles, providing a model for studying hair formation.

Acidic sandy clay damages archaeological hair the most, while dry conditions preserve but make it brittle; silicone oil can help keep the hair flexible.

Environmental factors like diet and vitamin levels, especially Vitamin D, can affect autoimmune diseases differently, with lifestyle changes potentially improving outcomes.

Curly and straight hair differ in how their internal fibers are arranged.

VEGF helps squamous cell carcinoma grow in ways beyond just blood vessel formation.

Keratin structure in hair is stable at pH 5-6 but disrupts between pH 6-7.

Human hair contains diverse proteins, including keratins and histones, which could help assess hair health and aging.

Hair keratin-associated proteins are essential for strong hair, with over 80 genes showing specific patterns and variations among people.

A tough membrane between the outer and inner layers of human hair protects it from damage.

Keratins help protect cells, aid in cancer diagnosis, and influence cancer behavior and treatment.

The document concludes that understanding hair's composition and the effects of treatments can lead to better hair care products.
