This review discusses various therapeutic strategies targeting platelet-derived growth factor signaling in diseases like cancer and atherosclerosis, and evaluates existing treatments without presenting new clinical data.

This study found that injecting PDGF-AA and -BB into mouse skin immediately triggered the hair growth cycle's anagen phase, suggesting potential treatment options for certain types of alopecia.

This study found that PDGFA is critical for the proliferation and maintenance of adipocyte stem cells in skin but not other white adipose tissues, highlighting unique regulatory mechanisms in different tissue depots.

This study suggests that PDGFA and BMP2 play a role in the hair follicle cycle in cashmere goats, with PDGFA particularly involved in activating the growth phase.

This review discusses the various roles of skin-resident dermal white adipose tissue in hair growth inhibition, antibacterial responses, and wound healing, reporting no new empirical findings.

In this study, researchers conducted additional IHC staining on equine skin sections and found that collagen type III primarily labels the extracellular matrix, while anti-PDGFR-antibody staining highlights cells with long-shaped processes mainly arranged around hair follicles.

In this study, IGF-I was shown to enhance human hair follicle growth, maintain the anagen phase, and increase expression of certain growth factors and anti-apoptotic markers.

This study found that PDGF-D acts as a potent mitogenic factor in adipose-derived stem cells, enhancing their proliferation, migration, and growth factor expression, suggesting its use as a preconditioning agent for ASC transplantation.

In this study, researchers found that certain cytokines can significantly down-regulate PDGF expression in dermal papilla cells and follicular keratinocytes, indicating a potential link between PDGF signaling and catagen induction.

This study found that lipid nanocarriers called squarticles, conjugated with an antibody, enhanced minoxidil uptake in dermal papilla cells, potentially improving alopecia treatments.

This study found that mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue and hair follicles have a similar ability to differentiate into neurons, which could aid in developing therapies for neurological diseases.

In this study, researchers developed a self-assembling hydrogel called RADA-PDGF2 and found it to accelerate wound closure in a mouse model due to its pro-proliferative and pro-migratory properties, without causing cytotoxicity or immunogenicity.

This study demonstrated that culturing high-passage dermal papilla cells with specific supplemented conditioned media may preserve their hair-inducing abilities, suggesting potential for reconstructing new hair follicles in vivo.

This study found that in a fluconazole-induced alopecia-like rat model, a 14-day treatment with hypoxia-induced mesenchymal stem cell exosomes significantly increased TGF-β and PDGF levels, which may improve hair growth and suggests a potential therapeutic strategy for alopecia and other inflammation-related skin disorders.

This study evaluated the effect of intralesional injections of lyophilized Platelet Derived Growth Factors in 42 patients with Peyronie's disease and found significant reductions in penile curvature and plaque size, along with improvements in Peyronie's Disease Questionnaire scores, suggesting a potential treatment role.

LMWP-PDGFA shows promise for improving hair health and treating hair loss with fewer side effects.

In this study, secretomes from hypoxic mesenchymal stem cells were found to increase PDGF and reduce IL-1β gene expression in rats, potentially offering an effective topical treatment for alopecia caused by long-term fluconazole use.

In this in vitro study, simple centrifugation with calcium gluconate activation led to a significantly higher release of PDGF-BB in PRP compared to other methods, which may inform improved clinical PRP preparation protocols.

In this study conducted on rabbits, conventional blood treated with 120% sodium citrate was observed to achieve the highest platelet recovery and enrichment coefficient, while altering sodium citrate concentrate affected levels of growth factors PDGF and TGF-β1 after plasma activation.

This study found that Pdgfα signaling is crucial for maintaining dermal adipose tissue in mice by initiating dermal adipocyte stem cell proliferation, with implications for age-related skin defects.

IGF-I helps hair growth by preventing cell death and boosting growth factors.

The researchers found that melatonin implantation in Cashmere goats influenced PDGFA gene expression and hair growth cycles, indicating it may control hair phase transformation from growth to catagen and telogen.

This review summarizes existing literature on PDGF's role in adipose-derived stem cells, highlighting PDGFRβ's functions in inhibiting white adipocyte differentiation and promoting proliferation and angiogenesis.

This review details the skin and hematological toxicities of tyrosine kinase inhibitors like erlotinib, gefitinib, and imatinib, and highlights ongoing concerns about cardiac toxicity, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study found that intradermal adipocyte lineage cells in mice are necessary and sufficient to activate follicular stem cells, highlighting their role in regulating skin stem cell activity.

This review discusses the development, lineages, functions, and roles of fibroblasts in fibrosis across four organs, highlighting their capabilities in tissue repair and contributions to fibrotic disorders when aberrantly activated, but it reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses mesenchymal–epithelial interactions in hair follicle development and cycling, highlighting recent insights without reporting new experimental results.

In this Phase II study, BAY 43–9006, taken orally for renal cell carcinoma, stabilized disease in 30% of patients, with 40% responding positively, although the targets remain unclear.

This study found that laminin-511 is crucial for hair morphogenesis in mice, as it influences primary cilia formation and dermal papilla maintenance through noggin and sonic hedgehog signaling.
