research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Ectodermal Organ Stem Cells: Morphogenesis, Population Regenerative Behavior, and Evolutionary Development
Different ectodermal organs like hair and feathers regenerate differently, with specific stem cells and signals involved in their growth and response to the environment.
research Proinflammatory Cytokines Regulate Epidermal Stem Cells in Wound Epithelialization
Certain immune system proteins are important for skin healing but can cause problems if there are too many of them.
research Cholesterol Homeostasis: Links to Hair Follicle Biology and Hair Disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
research Stem Cells and the Skin
Stem cells can rejuvenate skin, restore hair, and aid in wound healing.
research Estrogen Receptor Evaluation in Pomeranian Dogs with Hair Cycle Arrest (Alopecia X) on Melatonin Supplementation
Melatonin helped some Pomeranian dogs regrow hair, but it wasn't linked to estrogen receptors.
research (-)-Cannabidiol Differentially Influences Hair Growth
CBD can either promote or inhibit hair growth depending on the concentration used.
research Neuroendocrine Controls of Keratin Expression in Human Skin
Neurohormones help control skin health and could treat skin disorders.
research Glycogen Metabolism and Cori Cycle in Human Hair Follicles
Human hair follicles have a unique way of using energy and might use the Cori cycle; blocking CCR5 could help treat hair loss.
research Epigenetic Control of Adult Stem Cell Function
Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.
research Tregs: Where We Are and What Comes Next?

research Markers of Epidermal Stem Cell Subpopulations in Adult Mammalian Skin
The document concludes that adult mammalian skin contains multiple stem cell populations with specific markers, important for understanding skin regeneration and related conditions.
research Adenovirus-Mediated Wnt10b Overexpression Induces Hair Follicle Regeneration
Wnt10b overexpression can regenerate hair follicles, possibly helping treat hair loss and alopecia.
research GLI2-Specific Transcriptional Activation of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein/Activin Antagonist Follistatin in Human Epidermal Cells
GLI2 increases follistatin production in human skin cells.
research Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone and Estrogen Differentially Regulate Prolactin and Prolactin Receptor Expression in Female Human Skin and Hair Follicles In Vitro
Oestrogen and thyrotropin-releasing hormone affect prolactin and its receptor in human skin and hair, suggesting new treatment options for related conditions.
research The Hair Follicle Enigma
The document concludes that understanding hair follicles requires more research using computational methods and an integrative approach, considering the current limitations in hair treatment products.
research Emerging Therapies for Acne Vulgaris
