Understanding gene expression in hair follicles can reveal insights into hair growth and disorders.

Some wound-healing cells can turn into fat cells around new hair growth in mice.

Understanding phenotypic plasticity is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies.

Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.

Nerve signals are crucial for hair follicle stem cells to become skin stem cells and help in wound healing.

DNA profiling in forensics has improved, but predicting physical traits and ancestry from DNA has limitations and requires ethical consideration.

Corticosteroids, especially prednisone, improve short-term muscle strength in Duchenne muscular dystrophy but have manageable side effects.

Experts recommend using evidence-based methods to diagnose and treat hirsutism, focusing on symptoms and underlying causes.

Metformin helps with menstrual cycles and insulin levels in PCOS but is less effective for hair growth, diabetes prevention, and weight loss, and may improve fertility and reduce diabetes risk.

SKPs are similar to adult skin stem cells and could help in skin repair and hair growth.

Lgr5 is a marker for active, self-renewing stem cells in the intestine and skin, important for tissue maintenance.

Increasing mir-302 turns human hair cells into stem cells by changing gene regulation and demethylation.

The document concludes that the understanding of scar formation is incomplete and current prevention and treatment for hypertrophic scars and keloids are not fully effective.

The research found that different types of fibroblasts are involved in wound healing and that some blood cells can turn into fat cells during this process.

Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in diseases and healing, and more research on them could improve treatments.

Stromal stem cells may help heal wounds by becoming structural cells or affecting the immune system, but more research is needed to understand how.

The circadian clock affects skin stem cell behavior, impacting aging and cancer risk.

Certain proteins, Lgr5 and Lgr6, are important markers of adult stem cells and are involved in tissue repair and cancer development.

Adult stem cells from rat whisker follicles can regenerate hair follicles and sebaceous glands.

Vitamin D receptor interacts with certain dietary components to help prevent diseases and regulate hair growth.

PCOS is common among Chinese women of reproductive age and linked to serious metabolic and reproductive issues, especially in obese women.

The study found that sweat glands contain different types of stem cells that help with healing and maintaining healthy skin.

Wnt signaling is crucial for pigmented hair regeneration by controlling stem cell activation and differentiation.

Mutations in the SRD5A3 gene cause a new type of glycosylation disorder by blocking the production of a molecule necessary for protein glycosylation.

Growing human skin cells in a 3D environment can stimulate new hair growth.

Exposure to too much androgen before birth might cause polycystic ovary syndrome later in life.

The immune system plays a key role in tissue repair, affecting both healing quality and regenerative ability.

TGF-β is crucial for tissue repair and can cause diseases if not properly regulated.

The document concludes that the fast-growing direct-to-consumer genetic testing market lacks sufficient regulation, posing risks to consumers due to questionable test quality and accuracy.

Hair loss and aging are caused by the breakdown of a key protein in hair stem cells.
