research Protective Role of Melatonin and Its Metabolites in Skin Aging
Melatonin, a hormone, can help protect skin from aging by reducing stress, inflammation, and damage, and may also help treat hair loss in women.
research Keratinocyte Culture Techniques in Medical and Scientific Applications
Cultured epithelial autografts help treat burns by expanding skin cells, but challenges like cost and scarring persist.
research An ERK-dependent molecular switch antagonizes fibrosis and promotes regeneration in spiny mice ( Acomys )
High levels of ERK activity are key for tissue regeneration in spiny mice, and activating ERK can potentially redirect scar-forming healing towards regenerative healing in mammals.
research An ERK-dependent molecular switch antagonizes fibrosis and promotes regeneration in spiny mice (Acomys)
A specific molecular switch, driven by MAPK/ERK signaling, helps spiny mice heal wounds by regenerating skin instead of forming scars.

The conclusion is that Fgf18 and Tgf-ß signaling could be targeted for hair loss treatments.
research 606 Connecting signaling dynamics with cell fates in live mice
Stem cells control their future role by changing ERK signal timing, affecting tissue regeneration and cancer.
research 1322 Molecular profiling of frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) reveals TH1 and JAK-STAT up-regulation with no suppression of hair keratins
Frontal fibrosing alopecia shows increased inflammation and JAK-STAT pathway activity without reduced hair proteins.
research 1324 Impairment of hair-inducing capacity of 3D-cultured human dermal papilla cells by the ablation of STAT5
Removing STAT5 from 3D-cultured human skin cells reduces their ability to grow hair.
