January 2023 in “Theranostics” Mechanical force is important for the first contact between skin cells and hair growth in mini-organs.
Different genes and pathways are active in yak skin and hair cells, affecting hair growth and immune responses.
October 2022 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” Aging skin is affected by inflammation, reduced stem cell function, and slower wound healing.

January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” 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.
