Calcium affects where root hairs grow, but other unknown factors determine their growth direction.

A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.

WNT10A mutations often cause ectodermal dysplasias, with males showing more tooth issues than females.

Ruxolitinib effectively regrows hair in most patients with severe hair loss.

Visible light can damage skin and most sunscreens don't block it well; more research is needed on its effects and protection methods.

The document concludes that developing generic topical drugs requires ensuring they match the original in quality, composition, and structure, and often involves complex testing and regulatory steps.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss due to the immune system attacking hair follicles, often influenced by genetics and stress.

Oestrogens are key for bone growth during puberty in both boys and girls.

Epidermal stem cells are diverse and vary in activity, playing key roles in skin maintenance and repair.

Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.

Current treatments for alopecia show no significant long-term benefits.

Chemotherapy-induced hair loss significantly affects patients' well-being, and nurses are key in helping them cope, but more research is needed to find effective treatments.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease causing patchy hair loss, often with other autoimmune disorders, but its exact causes are unknown.

Alopecia areata is a common autoimmune disease affecting about 2% of people, causing significant disability and often associated with mental health issues and other autoimmune conditions.

Postpartum depression is linked to changes in brain chemicals, inflammation, stress, and certain genes, and can potentially be identified by markers like specific steroids, serotonin levels, and vitamin D levels.

Keratose, derived from human hair, is a non-toxic biomaterial good for tissue regeneration and integrates well with body tissues.

The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.

Modern science supports the use of some Ayurvedic plants for health, as ancient practices suggested.

TGF-β signaling is crucial for stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and has implications for cancer treatment.

Skin grafts on mice can cause an immune response leading to hair loss, useful for studying human hair loss conditions.

Nanoparticles can improve skin drug delivery but have challenges like toxicity and stability that need more research.

Macrophages help heal nerves by aiding the maturation of Schwann cells and are important for nerve repair.

Tofacitinib may help treat severe hair loss, but more research is needed.

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.

Hair analysis can detect cocaine use but doesn't accurately show the amount or timing of use.

Liposomes and niosomes improve finasteride delivery for hair loss treatment.

MicroRNA-302 helps improve the conversion of body cells into stem cells by blocking NR2F2.

Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.

Minoxidil can help grow hair in mice by making cells grow and improving hair quality. More research needed.

Cytokeratin 19 and cytokeratin 15 are key markers for monitoring the quality and self-renewing potential of engineered skin.
