November 2014 in “John Wiley & Sons, Ltd eBooks” This review discusses hormones that affect acne and highlights a statistically significant link between a low-glycemic-load diet and reduced acne activity, but reports no new experimental findings.
August 2014 in “Warwick Research Archive Portal (University of Warwick)” This study found that obesity in women may impair endometrial stromal function and contribute to reproductive complications, possibly due to metabolic influences rather than immune cell differences.
January 2014 in “Durham e-Theses (Durham University)” In this study, the activation of Notch1 signaling in keratinocytes was found to play a key role in recruiting immune cells and facilitating skin repair after injury.
January 2012 in “heiDOK (Heidelberg University)” In this study, researchers observed that dormant TRP-2+ melanoma cells in bone marrow can interact with CD8+ T cells in tumor-bearing ret transgenic mice, potentially influencing immune responses.

January 2006 in “Carl von Ossiezky University of Oldenburg” This study observed that unpigmented keratinocytes saturate quickly with foreign substance uptake compared to pigmented melanocytes, where melanin significantly enhances binding.
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.
March 1997 in “The American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery” A new hair transplant method showed promising results and a study found how deep a CO₂ laser can penetrate skin.
June 2018 in “Advances in Cosmetic Surgery” Hair loss caused by genetics and hormones; more research needed for treatments.
This study found that both finasteride and low level laser therapy were similarly effective in improving hair regrowth for frontal pattern hair loss in men and women over a 3-month period.
This study found that αvβ6 integrin inhibits keratinocyte proliferation during wound healing and hair regeneration, suggesting its downregulation may enhance recovery and influence epidermal stem cell behavior.
