research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research (2015)
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.
research Disruption of tubular Flcn expression as a mouse model for renal tumor induction
Disrupting the Flcn gene in mice causes early kidney cysts and tumors, which can be treated with rapamycin.
research A TP63 Mutation Causes Prominent Alopecia with Mild Ectodermal Dysplasia
A TP63 gene mutation causes significant hair loss and mild skin, nail, and tooth abnormalities.
research Two novel CreERT2 transgenic mouse lines to study melanocytic cells in vivo
New mouse models help study melanocytic cells for melanoma research.
research Morphogenesis and Renewal of Hair Follicles from Adult Multipotent Stem Cells
Adult mouse skin contains stem cells that can create new hair, skin, and oil glands.
research c-Myc activation in transgenic mouse epidermis results in mobilization of stem cells and differentiation of their progeny
c-Myc activation in mouse skin increases sebaceous gland growth and affects hair follicle development.
research Activated Polyamine Catabolism Depletes Acetyl-CoA Pools and Suppresses Prostate Tumor Growth in TRAMP Mice
Overexpressing SSAT enzyme reduces prostate tumor growth in mice.
research IL-3 contributes to development of lupus nephritis in MRL/Ipr mice
IL-3 worsens lupus nephritis and blocking it improves kidney health.
research Unraveling the complex role of MAPT-containing H1 and H2 haplotypes in neurodegenerative diseases
H1 increases risk for neurodegenerative diseases, while H2 offers protection but is linked to other disorders.
research Hedgehog Pathway Inhibitors against Tumor Microenvironment
Hedgehog pathway inhibitors can treat certain aggressive cancers but face limitations like resistance and side effects.
research Direct cellular reprogramming enables development of viral T antigen–driven Merkel cell carcinoma in mice
Scientists made a mouse model of a serious skin cancer by changing skin cells with a virus and a specific gene, which is similar to the disease in humans.
research Targeting the Hippo/YAP /TAZ signalling pathway: Novel opportunities for therapeutic interventions into skin cancers
Blocking YAP/TAZ could be a new way to treat skin cancer.
research Biliary fibrosis is an important but neglected pathological feature in hepatobiliary disorders: from molecular mechanisms to clinical implications
Biliary fibrosis is crucial in liver diseases and understanding it can help prevent and treat these conditions.
research HSP90 Inhibition and Cellular Stress Elicits Phenotypic Plasticity in Hematopoietic Differentiation
Inhibiting HSP90 increases cell adaptability and survival under stress.
research Single-cell analysis of temporal immune cell dynamics in alopecia areata reveals a causal role for clonally expanded CD8+ T cells in disease
Clonally expanded CD8+ T cells cause alopecia areata.
research BMI1 is required for melanocyte stem cell maintenance and hair pigmentation
BMI1 is essential for preventing hair greying and maintaining hair color.
research Human Regulatory T Cells: Understanding the Role of Tregs in Select Autoimmune Skin Diseases and Post-Transplant Nonmelanoma Skin Cancers
Understanding how Regulatory T Cells work could help create treatments for certain skin diseases and cancers.
research Orchestration of Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells and Inflammation During Wound Healing
Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (MSCs) help in wound healing and tissue regeneration, but can also contribute to tumor growth. They show promise in treating chronic wounds and certain burns, but their full healing mechanisms and potential challenges need further exploration.
research Immunohistochemical study assessing stem cell factor receptor C-kit in patients with alopecia
People with alopecia have shorter hair follicles and more c-kit, a stem cell factor receptor, which could predict how the condition progresses.
research Author response: Loss of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b does not affect epidermal homeostasis but promotes squamous transformation through PPAR-γ
Loss of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b leads to more aggressive skin tumors, but blocking PPAR-γ can reduce this effect.
research Epigenetics of Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer development involves both genetic changes and epigenetic alterations like DNA methylation and microRNA changes.
research Malignant Melanoma and Its Stromal Nonimmune Microecosystem
The surrounding tissue plays a crucial role in the growth and spread of skin cancer.
research The Double-Edged Proteins in Cancer Proteomes and the Generation of Induced Tumor-Suppressing Cells (iTSCs)
Tumor proteins can both promote and suppress cancer, depending on the situation.
research Hidradenitis Suppurativa Tunnels: Unveiling a Unique Disease Entity
Hidradenitis suppurativa tunnels worsen the disease and often need surgery because current treatments are not very effective.
research Viewpoint 7
Adipocytes have diverse roles in energy storage, protection, tissue repair, and influence health and disease.
research Role of Aire and Notch4 Allelic Mutations in Alopecia Areata in C3H/HeJ Mice
Aire mutation reduces alopecia areata, while Notch4 mutation prevents it in mice.
research Author response: ETS family transcriptional regulators drive chromatin dynamics and malignancy in squamous cell carcinomas
ETS2 is crucial in squamous cell carcinoma development and could be a therapeutic target.
research Vitamin D receptor is essential for normal keratinocyte stem cell function
Vitamin D receptor is crucial for normal hair growth and preventing hair loss.
research A systematic summary of survival and death signalling during the life of hair follicle stem cells
The conclusion is that understanding how hair follicle stem cells live or die is important for maintaining healthy tissue and repairing injuries, and could help treat hair loss, but there are still challenges to overcome.
