Male pattern baldness involves genetics, hormones, and needs better treatments.

Male and female skin differ due to hormones, affecting conditions like hair loss, acne, and skin cancer, and suggesting a need for gender-specific treatments.

Liposomal systems show promise for delivering drugs through the skin but face challenges like high costs and stability issues.

Estrogen therapy can reduce skin aging but has cancer risks.

Stem cell self-renewal is complex and needs more research for full understanding.

Some drugs can cause hair loss or increase hair growth, but these effects are usually reversible when the drug is stopped.

The Sonic hedgehog pathway is crucial for new hair growth during mouse skin healing.

Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.

Too much androgen can cause hair loss; finasteride may help.

Understanding hair follicle anatomy helps diagnose hair disorders.

Eating less sugar, milk, and saturated fats and more vegetables and fish may help treat and prevent acne.

Different types of stem cells with unique roles exist in blood, skin, and intestines, and this variety is important for tissue repair.

Stem cells in the hair follicle are regulated by their surrounding environment, which is important for hair growth.

Different types of stem cells and their environments are key to skin repair and maintenance.

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

The document concludes that specific cells are essential for hair growth and more research is needed to understand how to maintain their hair-inducing properties.

Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.

Human hair follicle organ culture is a useful model for hair research with potential for studying hair biology and testing treatments.

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.

Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.

The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.

Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.

Targeting androgen receptors could be a promising way to treat skin disorders with fewer side effects.

Dexamethasone speeds up hair loss in mice, while cyclosporin A slows it down.

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

The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.

The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.

Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.

The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.

Hair loss occurs due to fewer papillary cells, smaller follicles, and shorter growth phases.
