8th World Congress For Hair Research - Korea (2014)

[Desmond84]

VERY EXCITING NEWS

Hey guys, the abstract titles for this year's Hair congress just got announced and some of these talks look absolutely ground breaking. Here's the TOP SIX presentations that I picked out which show 6 different research teams cracking the DP culturing problems, while another team has found what makes the DP cells in the MPB zone so different to the permanent zone. It's also interesting to note that these 6 teams are NOT part of the Chinese or Taiwanese teams we already knew about.

It seems that this beast is about to be cracked I will post more information once more information is published. Science is finally giving us the answers we were waiting for

Here are the titles:

1) P032: GENOME-WIDE EXPRESSION PROFILE ANLYSIS OF 3D CULTURED DERMAL PAPILLA CELLS FROM ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA PATIENTS
Weixin Fan

2) P081 (WS3): DERMAL-EPIDERMAL INTERACTIONS IN 3D CULTURE RESTORE MARKERS OF DERMAL PAPILLA INDUCTIVITY
Aaron Gardner

3) P082 (WS3): 3D MICRO HAIR FOLLICLE CULTURE IN A DYNAMIC CHIP BIOREACTOR
Beren Atac

4) P202 (SY10): REPROGRAMMING REGULAR SKIN FIBROBLASTS INTO HAIR INDUCING DERMAL PAPILLA CELLS
Carlos Clavel

5) P221 (FC6): ENHANCING EXPRESSION OF HAIR INDUCTION MARKERS IN HUMAN DERMAL PAPILLA CELLS
ARP Sari

6) P228 (SY3): OPTIMIZED PREPARATION OF DERMAL PAPILLA CELL (DP) AND DERMAL SHEATH CELL (DS) CONSTRUCT FOR HAIR REGENERATION
Koji Kanayama

On a side note, the third title points out to growing hair germs (microtissues) in a bioreactor to maturations prior to transplantation. Sounds very cool!

What a great year so far A big thumbs up to all these researchers working towards a final cure.
