Research
690-720 / 1000+ results research Quiescent Tissue Stem Cells Evade Immune Surveillance
Inactive stem cells in hair follicles and muscles can avoid detection by the immune system.
research Tuning Wnt Signals for More or Fewer Hairs
Changing Wnt signaling can lead to more or less hair growth and might help treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research 851 The role of astrotactin2 in regulating mammalian skin polarity
Astrotactin2 affects hair follicle orientation and skin cell polarity.
research The Immune Functions of Keratinocytes in Skin Wound Healing
Keratinocytes help heal skin wounds by interacting with immune cells and producing substances that kill pathogens.
research Folliculin interacts with p0071 (plakophilin-4) and deficiency is associated with disordered RhoA signalling, epithelial polarization and cytokinesis
Folliculin deficiency causes problems with cell division and positioning due to disrupted RhoA signaling and interaction with p0071.
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 Identification of an osteopontin-derived peptide that binds neuropilin-1 and activates vascular repair responses and angiogenesis
FOL-026 peptide may help hair growth and cardiovascular health by improving blood flow and cell functions.
research Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Action of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors May Be Mediated by Dehydroepiandrosterone. Letter.
Certain drugs like Dutasteride and Finasteride might help fight SARS-CoV-2 by increasing levels of a steroid called DHEA, which can protect the heart and increase nitric oxide to counteract the virus.
research Maternal Melatonin Contributes to Offspring Hair Follicle Development Through Transcriptional Regulation of the AP-1 Complex and MAPK Pathway
Maternal melatonin improves offspring hair growth by affecting specific proteins and pathways.
research The variable cell
Hairless protein is key for hair growth, cell differences cause gene expression variation, and the N-end rule pathway senses nitric oxide for protein breakdown.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Epithelial Differentiation and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition
The TGF-β family helps control how cells change and move, affecting skin, hair, and organ development.
research Coactivator MED1 Ablation in Keratinocytes Results in Hair-Cycling Defects and Epidermal Alterations
Deleting MED1 in skin cells causes hair loss and skin changes.
research Prevention of chemotherapy-induced alopecia in rodent models
Localized heat or specific injections can prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss without affecting cancer treatment.
research Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Both gene and non-gene areas of DNA evolved to make some mammals hairless.
research Deficiency of Crif1 in hair follicle stem cells retards hair growth cycle in adult mice
Lack of Crif1 in hair follicle stem cells slows down hair growth in mice.
research Regulation of stem cell fate by HSPGs: implication in hair follicle cycling
HSPGs help control stem cell behavior, affecting hair growth and offering a target for hair loss treatments.
research Vitamin A regulates dermal papilla cell proliferation and apoptosis under heat stress via IGF1 and Wnt10b signaling
Vitamin A helps rabbit skin cells grow and survive heat stress.
research Exosomes Derived from Dermal Papilla Cells Mediate Hair Follicle Stem Cell Proliferation through the Wnt3a/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway
Exosomes from dermal papilla cells help hair follicle stem cells grow and survive.
research Scarring hair follicle destruction is driven by the collapse of EGFR-protected JAK-STAT1-sensitive stem cell immune privilege
A protein called EGFR protects hair follicle stem cells, and when it's disrupted, hair follicles can be damaged, but blocking certain pathways can restore hair growth.
research Hair Follicle Transglutaminases and the Formation of ε-(γ-Glutamyl) Cross-links
Transglutaminases help form strong hair by linking proteins, and can potentially alter hair properties.
research News in brief
Scientists found key proteins and genes that affect skin and hair health, and identified potential new treatments for hair loss, skin disorders, and wound healing.
research Raising hairs
Stem cell treatments can potentially treat baldness, with one trial showing hair growth after injecting a hair-stimulating complex, and no safety issues were reported.
research Epidermal keratinocytes initiate wound healing and pro-inflammatory immune responses following percutaneous schistosome infection
Epidermal keratinocytes start wound healing and inflammation after schistosome infection.
research Glutamate transporter Slc1a3 mediates inter‐niche stem cell activation during skin growth
The protein SLC1A3 is important for activating skin stem cells and is necessary for normal hair and skin growth in mice.
research Over-expression of TSPO in the hippocampal CA1 area alleviates cognitive dysfunction caused by lipopolysaccharide in mice
Increasing TSPO in the brain may help improve memory problems.
research A probabilistic Boolean model on hair follicle cell fate regulation by TGF-β
TGF-β and TNF influence hair follicle cell fate, with TNF being more effective in triggering cell death.
research Ultrasound-activated piezoelectric hydrogel scaffold for synergistic immunomodulation and angiogenesis in accelerated wound healing
The new hydrogel speeds up wound healing by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue growth.
