January 2023 in “Science Advances” The study shows that the commensal microbiome promotes hair follicle regeneration by inducing keratinocyte HIF-1α signaling and enhancing glutamine metabolism. This metabolic shift improves the regenerative capacity of skin and hair follicles following injury. Using a wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis (WIHN) model in mice, researchers found a positive correlation between bacterial load, glutamine metabolism, and regeneration. In human skin wounds, topical broad-spectrum antibiotics inhibited glutamine production and reduced healing. The findings suggest that the skin microbiome's modulation of metabolism can significantly enhance stem cell tolerance to damage and improve regenerative outcomes in both mice and humans.

January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
