Human hair follicle cells can be turned into stem cells that may help clone hair for treating hair loss or burns.
July 2016 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Scientists created a new 3D skin model from cells of plucked hairs that works like real skin and is easier to get.
January 2016 in “Elsevier eBooks” The conclusion is that grasping how cells determine their roles through evolution is key, with expected progress from new research models and genome editing.
January 2015 in “D-Scholarship@Pitt (University of Pittsburgh)” Diabetic patients' stem cells make vascular grafts more prone to clots, but new methods may improve grafts.
March 2014 in “Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB)” Skin-derived stem cells could help treat skin aging and pigmentation issues.
January 2014 in “Durham e-Theses (Durham University)” Notch1 helps skin heal by attracting cells that aid repair.
November 2013 in “Elsevier eBooks” Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
September 2013 in “Experimental Dermatology” The document concluded that stem cells are crucial for skin repair, regeneration, and may help in developing advanced skin substitutes.
September 2013 in “Molecular Biology” The document suggests that activating autophagy might help with regeneration by removing old and damaged cells.
August 2013 in “Fertility and Sterility” PCOS may be influenced by factors in the blood, not just the ovaries.
January 2012 in “Elsevier eBooks” New treatments for skin and hair repair show promise, but further improvements are needed.
January 2012 in “Durham e-Theses (Durham University)” Keratin 15 affects cell behavior and characteristics in skin cells.
January 2008 in “Durham e-Theses (Durham University)” Hair follicle stem cells are similar to mesenchymal stem cells and can become neural-like cells under certain conditions.
January 2007 in “The Year book of dermatology” Researchers successfully isolated and identified key stem cells in human hair follicles, which could help develop new skin and hair treatments.
September 2006 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” Hair transplant surgeries can be improved by preserving follicles in a special solution, and surgeries done at outpatient facilities are more profitable than those at hospitals.
September 2006 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” Outpatient aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries are about equally profitable in Academic Health Centers and Ambulatory Surgery Centers when time is considered, but dedicated surgery centers are generally more profitable.
September 2006 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” The SGAP flap effectively treats large sacral pressure sores with good results and minimal complications.
