Wild African goats have genetic adaptations for surviving harsh desert conditions.
June 2021 in “Research Square (Research Square)” Melatonin can increase cashmere yield by altering gene expression and restarting the growth cycle early.
Platelet-rich plasma is a promising and cost-effective treatment for hair and skin issues in older adults in India.
January 2021 in “Middle East journal of applied sciences” Zinc is essential for plant growth and human health, but many soils lack enough zinc, affecting crops and potentially leading to health problems.
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.
Off-label drug use can be risky but sometimes beneficial when standard treatments fail.
October 2013 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” FGF9 from certain T cells helps create new hair follicles during wound healing, which could potentially be used for hair loss treatments.
June 2013 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” A substance called FGF9 from certain immune cells can trigger new hair growth during wound healing in mice, but humans may not have the same response due to fewer of these cells.
June 2013 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” FGF9 from certain cells can trigger new hair growth during wound healing, but humans have fewer of these cells, which may limit hair regrowth.

May 2015 in “Cell Stem Cell” Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
