Cosmetic and dermatological compositions comprising N-heteroarylbisamide analogs and methods of using such compositions to impart anti-aging benefits to the skin and/or improve skin conditions resulting from reduced collagen and hyaluronic acid production are disclosed. The N-heteroarylbisamides are believed to stimulate collagen and hyaluronic acid production and restore or maintain homeostasis for these compounds.

Cosmetic use of N-heteroarylbisamide analogs and related compounds

New fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) inhibitors have been identified which are useful for promoting the retention and/or growth of keratin fibers, such as hair of the scalp, hair of the face (moustache, beard, etc.), eyebrows, eyelashes, and the like. The FGFR1 inhibitors may be formulated in effective amounts in a variety of cosmetic and personal care products.

Method for enhancing the growth and fullness of hair

Methods for preventing, ameliorating, or reducing dermatological signs of aging are provided which employ active agents, other than a retinoid, that stimulate thymosin beta-4 expression in the skin. Also provided are methods for screening for substances which stimulate thymosin beta-4 expression levels and the methods of using active agents identified by the screening protocol in the treatment of skin.

Modulation of thymosin beta-4 in skin

The present invention provides a method for determining hair inductive properties of a composition comprising injecting a composition comprising dissociated dermal cells and epidermal cells into skin of a mammal and determining whether at least one hair follicle forms.

Methods for determining the hair follicle inductive properties of a composition

The method of this invention relates to the use of improved anchor primers and a novel purification process to increase the efficiency and accuracy of the differential display technique.
