research Cicatricial Alopecia Research Foundation Meeting, May 2016: Progress Towards the Diagnosis, Treatment, and Cure of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
The meeting focused on understanding, diagnosing, and finding treatments for irreversible hair loss diseases.
research Bone vs. Fat: Embryonic Origin of Progenitors Determines Response to Androgen in Adipocytes and Osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research Roles of Wnt7a in Embryo Development, Tissue Homeostasis, and Human Diseases
Wnt7a protein is crucial for development and tissue maintenance and plays varying roles in diseases and potential treatments.
research Sebaceous Gland Abnormalities in Fatty Acyl CoA Reductase 2 (Far2) Null Mice Result in Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
Deleting the Far2 gene in mice causes sebaceous gland issues and patchy hair loss.
research Ethyl Acetate Fraction of Eclipta Alba: A Potential Phytopharmaceutical Targeting Adipocyte Differentiation
Eclipta alba extract may help treat obesity by blocking fat cell formation and lowering blood lipid levels.
research A Cell Membrane-Level Approach to Cicatricial Alopecia Management: Is Caveolin-1 a Viable Therapeutic Target in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia?
Targeting the protein Caveolin-1 might help treat a type of scarring hair loss called Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia.
research Table 1
Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might reduce it. AST decreases recurrence-free survival but doesn't affect overall survival or progression-free survival. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits.
research Table 2
Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might decrease the risk. AST also lessens the chance of cancer coming back but doesn't really affect survival rates. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits for different bladder cancers.
research Notch Signaling Regulates Late-Stage Epidermal Differentiation and Maintains Postnatal Hair Cycle Homeostasis
Notch signaling is essential for healthy skin and hair follicle maintenance.
research Alpinetin Promotes Hair Regeneration via Activating Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Alpinetin helps grow hair by turning on hair stem cells and is safe for use.

Pioglitazone use was linked to hair regrowth in a patient with permanent hair loss from cicatricial alopecia.
research Lipoatrophy and Severe Metabolic Disturbance in Mice with Fat-Specific Deletion of PPARγ
Mice lacking the PPARγ gene in their fat cells had almost no fat tissue, severe metabolic problems, and abnormal development of other fat-related tissues.
research Long Non-Coding RNA AL136131.3 Inhibits Hair Growth Through Mediating PPARγ in Androgenetic Alopecia
A specific RNA molecule blocks hair growth by affecting a protein related to hair loss conditions.
