Scientists have developed a method to keep chicken feather follicles alive and structurally intact in a lab for up to a week.

KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.

Umbilical cord-derived media is safe and effective for hair growth.

Finasteride reduces prostate bleeding by affecting blood vessel growth.

RPGRIP1L helps skin cells stick together by blocking PKCβII, which can prevent skin blistering like in pemphigus.

Blocking the androgen receptor in skin cells reduces their growth response to male hormones, suggesting a possible treatment for skin conditions linked to androgens.

New chemicals were made that can block an enzyme linked to hair loss, prostate growth, and acne.

Wnt5a may contribute to psoriasis by reducing skin cell growth, blocking skin cell maturation, and increasing inflammation.

Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

The conclusion is that accurately replicating the complexity of the extracellular matrix in the lab is crucial for creating realistic human tissue models.

The ZIP7 gene helps control zinc levels in cells by moving zinc from the Golgi apparatus to the cytoplasm.

Blocking the virus's entry into cells by targeting certain pathways could lead to early COVID-19 treatments.

LGR5 helps maintain corneal cell characteristics and prevents unwanted changes by controlling specific cell signaling pathways.

Noncoding dsRNA boosts hair growth by activating TLR3 and increasing retinoic acid.

Setipiprant may reduce inflammation by blocking an enzyme called aldose reductase.

The document concludes that adenosine receptor agonists have potential for treating various conditions, but only a few are approved due to challenges like side effects and the need for selective activation.

Periodontal ligament stem cells show promise for regrowing tissues but require more research for safe, effective use.

MicroRNA-302 helps improve the conversion of body cells into stem cells by blocking NR2F2.

Growth factors and cytokines are important for hair growth and could potentially treat hair loss, but more research is needed to overcome challenges before they can be used in treatments.

Activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway could lead to new hair loss treatments.

Blocking the CXCR3 receptor reduces T cell accumulation in the skin and prevents hair loss in mice.

Certain drugs that block specific enzymes can help treat prostate diseases.

Nanoparticles show promise for better wound healing, but more research is needed to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Organotypic culture systems can grow skin tissues that mimic real skin functions and are useful for skin disease and hair growth research, but they don't fully replicate skin complexity.

Thymosin β4 helps improve skin healing and reduce scarring.

The research suggests that a specific skin gene can be controlled by signals within and between cells and is wrongly activated in certain skin diseases.

Male hormones indirectly affect skin cell development by increasing growth factor levels from skin fibroblasts.

Researchers found new potential treatments for conditions related to the androgen receptor, like male hormonal contraception, by testing thousands of compounds.

Scientists made a chemical (compound 4e) that can be applied on skin to reduce oil production, which can help with acne, but it might cause skin sensitivity to light.

Using skin stem cells and certain molecules might lead to scar-free skin healing.
