I was hoping to see many mentions on Twitter about the recently ended AHRS meeting in Orlando that I discussed in my last post. However, coverage has been sorely lacking. In contrast, the European Hair Research Society’s 18th Annual Meeting in Italy is getting significantly more coverage.
European Hair Research Society (EHRS) 18th Meeting
The EHRS 18th annual conference just started today, and will end on May 20th. Much more news is expected from there over the next several days.
Some highlights so far:
- Dr. Ramon Grimalt from Spain posted the below interesting photo from a presentation by Dr. Yuliya Ovcharenko on Latanaprost and androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Note that Latanoprost is very closely related to Bimatoprost, which I have covered before. Both are prostamide F2α analogs.
- Dr. Bessam Farjo posted this Tweet suggesting that the Higgins Bioengineering Lab in the UK is continuing to progress in its hair regeneration research goals via 3D culturing. I wrote a post in 2014 that covers Dr. Claire Higgins and her work in much greater detail.
