April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Obesity can weaken the skin's ability to fight infections because fat cells stop and reduce the infection-fighting properties of nearby stem cells.
April 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Double stranded RNA helps skin wounds heal by coordinating specific proteins and signaling pathways.
April 2016 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” RPGRIP1L helps skin cells stick together by blocking PKCβII, which can prevent skin blistering like in pemphigus.

January 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Small molecule DMF improves psoriasis and multiple sclerosis, adult skin cells can be made to grow new hair, certain skin cells initiate hair growth, IL-17C controls gut health and can cause skin inflammation, and skin cells produce IL-17 that can lead to psoriasis.
January 2010 in “Bradford Scholars (University of Bradford)” MicroRNAs are crucial for hair growth and skin balance.
August 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Overexpression of a specific receptor in mice skin causes skin thinning, early skin barrier formation, eye issues, and hair loss.
January 2004 in “Enshou saisei” Follistatin is important for hair growth and could help treat hair loss.
January 1989 in “Clinical and Experimental Dermatology” The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
October 2022 in “Experimental Dermatology” New technologies show promise for better hair regeneration and treatments.
December 2016 in “Paleontological Journal” Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing. The best cell interaction happens in a liquid medium under gravity, and using collagen doesn't help. Future research could focus on using growth factors to stimulate these cells.
June 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this regrowth doesn't come from existing hair cells but from skin cells in the wound, with Wnt7a protein helping this process. This could help treat baldness and scarring.
May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this process can be boosted by increasing Wnt7a, a protein. This could potentially help treat baldness and change our understanding of hair growth.
May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this regrowth doesn't come from existing hair cells but from skin cells in the wound, with Wnt7a protein helping this process. This could help treat baldness and scarring.
