Hair follicle stem cells are crucial for touch sensation and proper nerve structure in mice.

Skin stem cells in hair follicles are important for touch sensation.

Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.

Young adults have about 230,000 tactile nerve fibers, decreasing 5-8% per decade with age.

The skin has about 230,000 touch-sensitive nerve fibers, with high concentrations in the hands and face.

The document suggests that nerve issues might contribute to hair loss and that testing sensation could predict these nerve problems.

Hair loss in men (androgenetic alopecia) is significantly linked to decreased scalp sensitivity, but not temperature sensitivity. More research is needed to confirm this. Comparing this hair loss to leprosy is unsupported and stigmatizing.

The document sets criteria for diagnosing long-term sexual dysfunctions caused by certain medications.

Scientists made working hair follicles using stem cells, helping future hair loss treatments.

New treatments for hair growth disorders are needed due to limited current options and complex hair follicle biology.

Hair transplant surgery reduces scalp sensitivity by almost 40%, and smokers have less scalp sensitivity than non-smokers. The time since surgery doesn't significantly affect this.

High-resolution imaging is crucial for diagnosing and planning treatments in clinical anatomy and aging.

Disulfide bonds affect the melting behavior of hair's crystalline structure, but hair retains some stability even after these bonds are broken.

The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.

Mice are useful for researching human hair loss and testing treatments, despite some differences between species.

The skin's basement membrane has specialized structures and molecules for different tissue interactions, important for hair growth and attachment.

The study found that mouse sweat glands develop before birth, mature after birth, and have specific keratin patterns.

The document concludes that supportive home environments and addressing parent-child interactions can effectively treat trichotillomania in children.

Epidermal stem cells have various roles in skin beyond just maintenance, including forming specialized structures and aiding in skin repair and regeneration.

Hair transplantation is the only permanent solution for female pattern hair loss and can greatly improve quality of life with careful planning.

Quercetin significantly helps hair growth by activating hair follicles and improving blood vessel formation around them.

Small changes in hair restoration surgery, like using special stitches and careful graft placement, can improve results and teamwork.

The document concludes that regenerating functional ectodermal organs like teeth and hair is promising for future therapies.

Vitiligo causes white skin patches and can lead to psychological stress.

Cosmeceuticals are popular for their skin health benefits and anti-aging effects.

The skin is vital for protection, temperature control, fluid balance, immunity, and sensing, with damage affecting daily life and mental health.

Hair follicle stem cells are important for maintaining healthy skin and interact with many signals.

Skin's uneven surface and hair follicles affect its stress and strain but don't change its overall strength, and help prevent the skin from peeling apart.

BMP signaling is essential for the development of touch domes.

Non-coding RNAs are important for hair growth and could lead to new hair loss treatments, but more research is needed.
